Michigancat (the only recruiting opinion I listen to around here), how much would this heighten your opinion of our incoming class (aside from him having to sit a year)?

Still makes it about average for the Big 12.  I've seen very little of Babb at PSU, but I think he's better than guys like yosh give him credit for.

J-Mart, do you think the staff is interested?  (In your opinion?)

Are you more confident in the unknown?  Why in the wide world of sports would you be?

I'm with Michigancat on this. I like having a proven power conference guy in the fold, especially if he has two years left.

The staff knows.

I'm pretty good friends with the guy who wrote the piece, and he tipped me off because Babb is from Texas (I don't think David Jones realizes how big this state is ) Anyway, he said the kid can stroke it. Has a good body, and he can play. The coaching situation there is a disaster, and kids are jumping ship.

Transfers looking at their one last shot... Isn't that pretty much how this program has moved forward? Isn't that how this program is going to thrive?

Yes, no reason it can't continue with Babb.

the lack of recruiting info makes me think that they probably have something lined up.  whether that's dtweeterson or some hidden irving hs.  i just think that if they were out actively looking, something would have come to light by now.

and i'm not sure that babb is any good.  never saw him play this year (maybe 10 minutes last year).  his stats make him look like a completely 1 dimensional 3 (or non ball handling 2).  how many minutes is martin really going to give a player like that?

heh.  Seems like a mind-numbingly stupid position you (or the staff) are taking here, though.

WEIGHT ROOM, SHOT FAKE, GET TO THE RIM.

Merri with a shot?

Merri with a shot?

yeah, when you put it like that.   

[michigancat]

Granted, it's against crap HS players:

Wasn't David Jones the one that consistently had EMAW hoops ranked high?

Chris wants to go to a place where he isn't second fiddle, he wants to be a starter, and he wants to be "the man". 

Interested in valley schools.

[steve dave]

He would do well at WSU

[pissclams]

maybe he and mitch doberdick can sit in a corner and discuss ways that the "valley" is better than all of the BCS conferences combined.

[yosh]

Wichita radio this morning reported mutual interest between WSU and Babb.
