BilliKat Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Holy cow! I'm so excited! Of course now my dad and bro up the ante and say, ' if we could just sign a 4* recruit' I'm stoked! Way to be Crews and co! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am really concerned as to who jumped the gun on Tanner's commitment to SLU. It has not happened yet. Maybe we hear from TL soon on his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilliKat Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I like the 3* and 2* ..... The higher they are rated the more big headed and selfish they get... PASS. *i realize this is a blanket statement, but for the most part that's how I feel. For cereal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 RANDYRANDYRANDY RANDYRANDY Let's round out this great recruiting class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Remember that Jared Drew will begin his eligibility at the same time. Lancona, Agbecko, Drew, Crawford, and Onwuasor*. If either Drew or Crawford can defend a guard and no one leaves (and also considering who comes in in 2014 and 2015), the Bills could have a pretty big, long, athletic, and versatile lineup in 2016 and '17 with those five. (*yet to come) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 In defense of things getting out before the announcement, apparently Ben wrote the story last night but placed it as "inactive" but a technical glitch switched it to "active" and the Rivals Washington State site posted the story.

(*yet to come) Don't forget about McBroom. We will have six new faces on the court next year assuming no one redshirts and we get one more commit this spring. I am sticking with my comment that with these six new players, we will have more talent, overall, than on last year's team. Talent alone doesn't win games (see the professional basketball team in Lexington, Kentucky), but with Crews and the returning players, plus a very senior group of leaders, I really like our chances in 2013-2014. November cannot come soon enough. Let's just add Randy Onwuasor to this team and LOOK OUT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wasn't really considering the 2013-14 season, either. The beauty of the program that Majerus built and now Crews is taking over is that this coming season we won't be needing any of the five* freshmen to be stars. (*Onwuasor yet to come.)

I think you are correct for one reason--the returning players who played last year should be better with one more summer of weightlifting and hard work. The three new recruits all seem to have the potential to compete for playing time immediately and start after this years seniors graduate. Each of them has size and skills that really fit well with the makeup of this team. If we can sign one more player of this caliber it would not matter to me whether it is a transfer who has to sit out a year because we will need him more in the fall of '14 than we do now. This staff and Jim Crews have done a masterful job in adding three really good players--two at a very late time in recruiting. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
