What do we do with an open scholly?

[ICclone23]

Does anyone know if we still have a shot at Marcus Jordan? I know he was high on us but we had a tough scholly situation and now some big boys are on him. I know others have mentioned Darius Smith but I don't know how great of a shot we have at him.

 

[Stewo]

I'd rather go after Darius Smith.

Marcus Jordan is not an improvement. Use it to get better.

 

[Aclone]

Bank it.

Edit: Actually, sign this guy. :wink:

Marcus Jordan may not be better, but does such a recruit open up the floodgates of donations to the athletic department?

We can't bank 3 Scholly's

Let's get Darius Smith.

Darius Smith - College Basketball Recruiting 2009 - ESPN

He looks ok.

 

[St810s]

Bank it.

I agree. Unless we can hit a home run with it, which I don't think we can, I say we just bank it.

 

[CB21]

That would be something if we could somehow get him.

Marcus Jordan is a 3 star being recruited heavily by Stanford, Butler, Miami with Arizona State and Oklahoma getting into the game late. Last I checked those basketball programs are pretty successful so if he is good enough for them he is good enough for me.

He's not good enough...mid-major at best.

Cyismydog...what's your thoughts on Darius Smith? Is the staff interested?

Not sure, but I know Greg Ohlson mentioned a while ago on his site that Smith was still interested in coming here.

I would really rather go after a four year guy as opposed to another JUCO, but it is what it is. I wish the staff would give me a reason to trust them in their selection and retension of players.

I wonder if Clones85' is still worried about the scholarship situation.:wideeyed:

 

[cybsball20]

at least we still get to use the youth/inexperience excuse!

 

[A-town Cy]

I wouldn't mind Darius Smith, a guy that wants to come here. Or the next Mike Taylor, but please not the next Corey McIntosh, Marcus Brister, or Clayton Vette. We will probably have one to bank for next year too (brackins).

Why would the staff need your trust to begin with? And don't you think they know more about this sort of thing than you? I find it funny when people keep questioning coaches and the players, when they have NO IDEA as to what is really going on.

Well, if he's not complaining about one thing... :huh:
