I suppose we could take two if SS doesn't come or anyone else is leaving. One to play early and one to develop.

Although Nance JR looks frail he can get up on his dunk. It says he grew 6 inches since Soph year. I'd like to take a chance on him. I wonder if Beilein hooked us up (His Son up) They were recruiting him until they signed Max B.

Well it says being considered for visits. I would be OK with whoever. I think the one that would develop recruiting connections for the future would be best. I think Nance would have good potential, but he would really need to add weight. I guess the JUCO would be my last choice, but he could be the...

Could Cal Davis be any slower making a decision? I am ready to finalize our staff.

See a couple other people tweeting that JC to Bradley is happening. Dave Telep Geno Ford scores first recruit at Bradley. 2011 guard Jalen Crawford is on board for the Braves. 1 hour ago via TweetDeck Favorite Retweet Reply Mario Mercurio "@DaveTelep: Ford scores first recruit at Bradley. 2011 guard...

I feel pretty similar. I'd be happy with anyone between 6'7" and 6'10" for the JUCO post guy. I don't think he needs to be 230, but if he is fairly big and can rebound that would work. He needs to be able to run the court OK also.

I also don't care JUCO or High school on any of them.

That is the one bit of fallout I anticipated from the start. I am glad it is over. I hope we can bring in at least a couple more players. Again I think both Abell and Bradley went about this the correct way. I am not surprised, and look forward to building the program now, I hope we get Crawford and...

Gone

I feel like somone waiting for a hurricane to hit. The calm is strange, everyone waiting for something to happen.

I realize it is not similar in that it really doesn't matter that much what he dicides. It just feels strange waiting for something to happen.

Is that Rick Pitino?

I think so.

I saw a post about someone seeing the ISU coach out with a recruit. You think they are trying to sign more, or just being safe with backups?

Hey by the way, pretty smooth the way you chose pink as the Bradley color. Kind of like the Iowa locker rooms for football.
(I always hated Iowa)

Whether we get him or not, I like the way Coach Ford has handled this. I think it reflects well on our program that we are letting the kids make the decision.

This is the reason for my pessimism- I just feel a young kid may be thinking exactly what Demling posted above his post- The line of school is going to be LOOOOOOOOOOONG if Remy Abell does open it back up on Wednedsay. Edit I actually do feel a little more confident after this. I thought he may just...

Well I am not sure which thread to post to now. I already posted on the other thread so I will quote myself. Thanks for the update. I don't know what to think. I guess I still think what I thought before not much of a chance. I like that he says it went real good. And it sounds slightly more promisi...

Thanks for the update. I don't know what to think. I guess I still think what I thought before not much of a chance. I like that he says it went real good. And it sounds slightly more promising than I thought, but I still think it is a super long shot that he still comes. I will have to hope he stil...

The Valley just doesn't get the level of talent they did in the 80's & 90's let alone before my time. I think we had some more cheating going on when top prospects like these guys were in the Valley- Antione Carr Cliff Levingston Xavier McDaniel Benoit Benjamin Lloyd Carr Paul Pressey Steve Harris J...

John Wilkins was a huge loss...we didn't get him last year and look what happened. Last place. PM me for more..... I will admit I thought it was a big loss. I have been very unimpressed by him (Wilkins). I will admit I said why are we wasting a scholarship on Will Franklin. We should just bank it. ...

I am still waiting for the lightbulb to go on, just as I am w/ AT, just as I am w/ Milos....

I agree with you on Will and AT. I think Milos is doing what he can with what he has. I don't think he has another level or light that could gon on.

I hope my feeling that we have about a 1% chance of actually keeping Remy is wrong. I just think he is doing what he has to so he can be released from his commitment. Hope I am wrong.

Dave, I am not sure if you know this but do you have any ballpark idea when the new assistants will be announced. I know two are generally known, but I am not sure if they have both been formally announced. Anyway if you are working on any articles that would be a subject I would be interested in. A...

http://loyolaramblers.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/041811aaa.html I am kind of disappointed in this. The more I thought about it, I would have rather had him than Graham. I hope this means we are making progress on a hiring is on the way? Maybe Gates gave an ultimatum and Geno said he couldn't ...

I hope Shayok Shayok isn't Michael Ocherobia's cousin. I am starting to wonder if we are waiting for qualifying paperwork since he is from a basketball school and a foreign student.
