the writing in that article is fantastic.

I have a feeling he was reaching with a few of those nicknames

Sometimes in the recruiting world, you just don't see something coming. At all. Ray Shipman to play football, not hoops, at new school.

"Former Miami Pace High and ex-UF guard Ray Shipman, Florida's Mr. Basketball in 2008, is switching sports -- to football [safety] -- and is searching for an interested college, his father said. "

That is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) on Shipman's part.  Who does he think he is, Charley Ward?

Ha! Ship's gonna Gates-ize whatever secondary he steps into! 

[Jackstraw]

this guy has PoetWarrior written all over him

[Underdog Wildcat]

PW makes some of the meanest highlight vids in the biz. Ship has had 2 subpar seasons playing hoops. Granted it was high-major DI but he's performed so far under expectations that he's changing sports now. PW is showing no signs of slowing down so I don't really see the PW-Ship comparison as being accurate, but I'm sure Ship is glad to take whatever compliments he can find now.

I think you missed his point.  I'm thinking PW should make a video to entice Shipman to KSU!

poor coaching by st. johns to allow his weight get out of control.  seems to be a trend in college basketball.

It appears that Omari Lawrence, who left St. John's after one year, is down to two schools, Kansas State & USC. K-State is the favorite.

Can a elite basketball poster give me a breakdown of Omari's game.

fat and out of shape set shooter ready to turn into the next ksu transfer success story.    he's not very good looking so i'm not sure how he'll fit in w/ the rest of the team.

USC is KSU west

[pissclams]

USC is like "hey we want to be just like K-State" and meanwhile K-State is like "ok, whatever lil' bro"
USC...the KSU of the beach.

USC...the KSU of the beach Compton.

 

[pissclams]

sounds better to be KSU of beach imo.  also, the neighborhood usc is in didn't seem bad to me.

good.

BITB said yesterday the MU/Anderson saying that they expect ALL recruits to be eligible and to show up.  BITB was discussing Tony M. at the time.  Said that MU/Anderson didn't mention him by name, but reiterated that they expect ALL recruits to be blah, blah, blah.

Found on GPC:
