i'm guessing cause we might be after him?

[ksuno1stunner]

probably because they are tired of seeing him in the database every year.

[ds43fan]

[PoetWarrior]

so he'd be a jr? (sorry im slow on recruiting)

[PoetWarrior]

Yep, he would only have two years to play.

[ds43fan]

2 years is 2 years

the star ranking means nothing.  He was first team all-american in 2005 at NEO as a freshman.  Oklahoma signed him twice.  Rivals is well known for lowering the rankings on some of these kids who are not going to qualify or serious academic risks.

Supposedly he didn't have a great season and nobody thought he would qualify...could be attitude or work ethic.  Who knows.  But the kid is supremely talented and a baller.

Don't bother with his ranking...worry more about whether he'll qualify or what kind of attitude, not the talent.

I would really have a hard time getting motivated playing for my second juco in two years.  But that's just me.  5 stars.  Holy &@#%ing crap.  If we somehow pick up Arthur Brown, that's Brown, Walker, and Patterson.  WOW.

There was a guy who watched NEO play quite a bit that said Roland was just as good.  Maybe patterson was missing some of the other role players on that D.

you can forget brown.  he is like venables adopted son
