In substance. Sorry you don't like the word "Lock," but I hope you know what was meant.
yep, will be recruited over
No, I think I get what was meant. I posted before... no problem with people saying we’re the leader. In no way is that a done, just means things look good. We are in the lead. People in the know think he’s a strong lean. He said to a high school coach that he’s going to go to SHU.
Not one of those things is a lock or a commitment. So yes, I appreciate information we may get but take each piece with a grain of salt.
From what I can ascertain they don’t love him in the Kentucky fanbase. They look at him more as a 125-150 type talent. They view him as a project that will be there for the 4 years..I agree that he probably wouldn’t contribute that much his first year at The Hall either.
So he doesn’t seem to be in the Sonogo League. He has good quickness and could become a good defensive player under Willard. You only see him dunking on the offensive side in the videos online. At this point Ike looks like Ike is as good an option.

and a rough turnout after all that anyways. Thats SHU I guess!..........have been noted on the Trove for well over a month.
I always take any recruiting news with a big chunk of salt. I got the strong impression from what was posted that it was a lot stronger than a lean. The poster, and I don't remember who it was, was very strongly stating that Sanogo was in the bag, and not to worry. I wish that his information was correct. I had my hopes sky high. I'd love to know what happened.
Hope his imaginary relative feels better after the waiver is granted!
Disagree. He should be immediately eligible after Wake Forest fired their coach on April 25th! That is outrageous.
Of course. Every transfer should be imm eligible. Look hard enough and you'll always find a reason.
Free agency, which is where we are headed, is clearly good for the sport.

Kids commit to coaches, not schools, imo.
So anselem has offers from some major major schools, and a lot of them in the SEC relatively closer to where he calls home ( i think its GA)
Right now i see a ton of crystal balls for LSU with the last one being a few weeks ago.
are we actually thinking we will land this kid? seems like even the blue bloods see his potential now.

Not totally true. The coach is a big part but the school facilities and atmosphere will break the tie.
I dont think we get him. But the LSU stuff is over. They stopped waiting for him and took the verbal from gray. Hard to think he turns down ky to me.
ah ok so that must have been in the last week. well kentucky landing that standout transfer is a big deal. that kid is good, but if he doesnt get a waiver to play immediately it does us no good.
Enough with the practice facility. If coach Cal decided he wanted to be in NE and agreed to coach for SHU he'd have 5 5stars here his first year. It's about selling the program and the system and no one does it better than Cal. For that to happen in reality SHU would need to break the bank and pay him 10+ million/ year guaranteed.
Recruits would play in a parking lot for Cal. He could talk a starving dog off a meat truck.
LSU passed on him because he didn’t commit fast enough. That’s when he reopened his recruiting.
I think you’re way off if you’re suggesting practice facility is not a big deal.
I guess you’re predicting Rick will get get 5 5 stars (maybe 2, accounting for Iona being lower level than the hall at least conference wise)
We’d never pay Cal or anyone 10M. So your example i think is too unrealistic to warrant consideration We’d pay someone about 3M. A 3M guy needs resources.
D1 athletes want to play for K or Cal. If they’re not good enough then they’re then basically going on coach, facilities and fit.
while I love Willard, at the end of the day, right now he’s not a lot different than Wojo, Cooley, the guy at butler, .... ALL of those schools have legit practice facilities.
I have strong academic and non hoops athletic ties to SH and yet it’s painful for me to see a dollar spent on anything other than getting better hoops facilities esp right now while the iron is or at least was definitely hot; all ships rise with the tide and hoops is the ocean at SH.
we’re not a football or state school, we get basically nothing from the arch diocese of Nwk, we’re respectable academically but enrollment alone hurts our chances of having a lot of wealthy donors.
Strike while the iron is hot so I can stop reading the tired question “why can’t we close on top talent after all of this recent success?”
This is really good. Now were comparing Willard to Cal. Unbelievable.
You can see my answer above but my initial point was in no way meant to be demeaning FWIW
% wise I bet we have a very large amount of wealthy alum - we’re just drawing from a comparatively small # of people
On the bright side I think we’re trending in the right direction from enrollment and graduate placement points of view
