Webster would call him, it is just that he doesn't want to miss Fitz's call. He feels bad for Fitz not being able to get any information from the FB program, so he wants to make sure Fitz doesn't lose heart when he calls Webster and it goes straight to VM.

Would absolutely love to take a chance on him but he already signed with Tech. Some informed folks have said he's a real longshot to qualify, which would put him on the Prep school or JC route, but I wouldn't count out BCG from making this happen.

I know, I was trying to make a crack about not bringing him on because it was unclear if we had a scholly for him (you make crap happen for Orris).

Yeah, waiting on Gray would have been worth it, IMO.

Hopefully, reports of Omoney's emergence are legit.

well the good news is that frank was the sole reason that we weren't getting any of the good spiece guys, so i would expect a willie cauley decommit to kentucky coupled with a semi commit very soon. probably next week. maybe tomorrow. hell it's probably already happened.

Tracy Abrams not a PG?

Would be cool to see DJamer Richardson find his groove this year, just for the greater good of hoops and all that.

I don't know what jugofsnyder told you or what the up to date Curriebot company line is.

All I can say is, I was/am pretty high on Gray, I was/am very disappointed that our staff didn't follow through with him.

Jones really might have been able help us this year, particularly providing some offensive spark, we've got some other decent guards, 1 potentially great one(Angel :crossfingers:), it was probably going to be tough for him to see consistent minutes here in 12-13.

Or maybe it's a personal issue with him that I know absolutely nothing about and is really none of my business.

Either way, I don't see this as a crippling blow to the 12-13 season for KSU.

Hoping to be in the future.  Was strictly a scorer in high school.  A lot to expect of him in only his second season. 

DJamer is a solid three-point shooter, but he can't drive to save his life.  He is what he is at this point. 

Groce's offense relies upon penetrate and kick and we have zero players with that proven ability, nor the required outside shooters to profit if we did.  It's going to be a mess imo.

I imagine it could be both or neither.  One doesn't preclude the other.  It's usage is more or less exclusively African American in my community.  I've encountered it too frequently to be considered an aberration.  It's just slang, there's no value judgment attached.
