....says the obsessive WSU fan with the BJC publisher as his avatar. It is a rivalry. I couldn't be happier that we have a guard like Austin in our program, and yes it is better because we stole a recruit you had been hard after for years right under your nose in 3 months.


I think you just proved my point. Thanks! :lol:

Considering that there are hundreds of D-1 quality athletes in the state, there are four BCS teams in Texas and a total of 10 D-1 basketball schools, landing 21,26 and 48 is very, very good. But, recruiting is a funny game and I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in how these kids will develop. A few will, a few won't.

Enjoy the recruiting victorys, they are hard earned. That said, developing the players and winning the games on the court will be much more difficult than the recruiting wars.
There are three rules that I live by, never get less than 12 hours sleep, never gamble with a guy who has the same first name as a city and never get involved with a chick with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Stick to that and everything else is gravy!

Recruting isn't a sprint. Double G knows what he's doing.

Like I said before, 6'0 PGs are not something to wave your flag about unless they're receiving national pub.

So Creighton takes Chatman over Campbell who the next day commits to UTEP and because Rivals says Campbell is #140 in their Top 150 he is a good 6' PG and Chatman is a suspect 6' PG because he is not? Personally, I'll take the CU coaching staff's analysis that they preferred Chatman. Said it before, no one will know for years how their recruits from this year will turn out.

I'm pleased that the CU coaches got the kids that THEY wanted to get. I'm especially pleased that Coach Mac thinks Groselle, the 6'11 kid, may prove to be a monster steal once this season is over.

They're all suspect. They're recruits. That's the nature of the game.

Ah, I will try and explain myself.

If a highly touted recruit (4* and 5*) choses your school then go ahead and boast; not because there is a guarantee that he will be a star but because your school scored a major recruiting victory on the national scene.

With that being said, there are NO absolutes. The only guarantee is that there isn't one.

I wouldn't consider anyone in the year's MVC class to be a "highly touted recruit" but some will be stars.

I find it funny that we now have a 5 page thread on a young man who isn't very highly regarded on the national scene (yet).

It's 5 pages long because the kid was a pretty visible recruit who spurned one MVC team for another.
