  1. Jack Mihoff and Mike Hunt are supposed to be coming in for a tandem visit this weekend. Rumblings of an asian player, Phuc Ahl coming in, too. Other than that, I haven't heard anything. Getting pretty slim out there...

    The big man from Arkansas, Hugh G. Reckshun will be on his official this weekend.
  2. In an attempt to keep this thread moving, I predict we will not land any of these guys, a combination of us not being interested in them and in the case of Yacoubou, him not being interested in us. I certainly hope I am wrong about Yacoubou because I think he would be a nice addition.

    I predict we will get one player not on this list and have one unused scholarship. Any other predictions out there?

    BTW, it is looking more ane more like Drew was NOT forced out to land a player we had lined up.

    I predict that we will fill both scholarships from players not on this list.
  3. I think is is referring to the fact that McCall retweeted this:

    desirae ball@DBALLiN1315 May

    Everything isn't always how it reads. There's a lot more to being a division one basketball player than basketball.

    It was on the day that it was announced Drew would transfer. However, it is hard to tell if it is related to the Drew situation and it could be taken multiple ways even if it is related.

    thanks
  4. I'd prefer we wait if it's not someone we really want.

    As far as Drew goes, remember all the players weren't necessarily on Drews side and MM's comments that it's about more than just basketball lends credence to Kitti's comments,

    I'm sure any recruit seriously considering us who has hesitation regarding Drew has been spoken to about what went down. It's very easy to make a point without getting specific.

    What were MM's comments? I think I missed this
  5. You know as well as I the staff can't say anything about RO because of NCAA rules. In fact they have never said anything about RO.

    The fact he is still in contact with B Wex probably is a pretty good indicator that there is still interest.

    He's a frickin HS kid - he will talk to anyone who wants to talk to him about where he is gonna go.

    The fact that he is talking to Ben Weixlman means absolutely nothing...

  6. Out of curiosity, let's say the Nova kid and RO go elsewhere and there really is no one else on the radar, would folks take J.Strawberry even if JS wasn't quite up to an A-10 quality guard? Maybe he could turn into a solid pg after 2-3 years?

    I see cheese's point about an injury, but outside of RO, it doesn't seem like we have anyone on the radar that would be able to help out if one of MM, AM or JJ goes down. Cheese, would you take Strawberry just to have as a possible emergency fill-in?

    When Grandy committed he was on nobody's radar and I don't even remember anyone ever even hearing of a visit. Just trust what the staff is doing...they aren't just sitting on their hands waiting and hoping for RO to commit.
  7. Because we aren't aware of any other quality freshman names available. Accordingly, the staff seems willing to wait on him, which suggests they don't have a great Plan B highschool recruit if he goes elsewhere. Plan B may very well be pocket the scholarship.

    Don't worry, the obsession over 2014 recruits will start soon enough.

    Why do you say the staff seems willing to wait? I havent heard anything that suggests this...

    For all we know, the staff has moved on to other targets and transfers which seems more likely. Feel free to show me where I missed the staff mentioning him as a target recently.

  8. RO hasn't tweeted since 5/13. After Tennessee and Tennessee Tech seemed involved, we've seen nothing from either. I have no clue what's going on or why he wanted to drag this past the 15th. Lot of question marks that weren't there two weeks ago.

    Saintil and Strawberry both appear to be headed to prep school but neither have made it official (publicly).

    Haven't been able to confirm whether Yacoubou actually visited Pitt. He was supposed to be there Tuesday but was definitely home in the Bronx Wednesday.

    Things have been pretty silent on the Jesperson front this week, too. He did a few visits in a very short time. Maybe he's just spending a few days at home and talk to his family before making it official.

    After the devastating blow of Jolly's decision to go to prep school, I'm waiting for the other shoe.

    In all seriousness, I'm wondering whether we really do have two guys lined up for the two open spots.

    I bet we don't have them lined up because Biondi wouldn't let us...man we really need to get him out of here -we should start protesting!
  9. Xavier just got a commitment from Euro forward Aleksandar Vezenkov. I think that leaves one scholarship, but I'm trying to confirm that.

    He's a 6-8, 200 lb. 17-year-old who had already been on the radar of NBA scouts.

    This matters because we're going head-to-head with them for Abell, just in case anyone wonders why this is being posted.

    Why is this being posted?
  10. a number of you have now said that there is or could be another side of the drewcut story. i must be thick. could someone give me the scenario of the "other side" that makes slu look good/justifiable? i will hang up and listen. thanks!

    Most logical thing I can think of is that Drew was not closing on enough coeds and giving the team a bad reputation with the ladies...if this is the case (which all signs point to yes) then this would have a serious negative impact on recruiting since bball players would have a reputation of not closing.

    Remember on the Djambo topic I told everyone recruiting = babes. Clemson babes > SLU babes = fact. Not closing bball players < closing bball players. Recruiting is simple and we couldnt afford to have an eyesore like Drew anymore.
