i don't like ucf anymore.  they are injecting too much entropy into florida & surroundings recruiting.

Interesting thought.  What does entropy mean?

entropy is the natural tendency of the universe towards disorder or randomness (chaos).

Pretty sure MIR is a black dude.  They can all jump really high so I'm not going to doubt him.

True.  I've had more than one 35 yr old black guy with bad knees dunk on my head.

Speaking of decommits/releases from LOIs... Have there been any rumors of Gipson potentially requesting a release?

Not trying to stir up crap or anything... There's a rumor out that one of the DFW kids in the Rivals 150 is considering asking for a release from an LOI. There are only 5 or 6 viable candidates, and most of those are even less likely than Gipson. Especially when the rumor popped up right after you guys landed not one but two JUCO posts.

I thought Gipson was totally on board with you guys, so at first I didn't think it could be him. Any anxieties over him sticking with your class?

He did have a few weird tweets copied on here a few weeks ago about how everyone was transfering and that people needed to stay where they were, or some crap like that.

I will officially blame the Greek if this happens.  

Also, pretty obvious that the whole Tony fiasco was N Tex's doing now that it has fully played out.

Greek, why is your school sabotaging ours?

Again... I don't know anything for sure. But the rumors are coming from the same place as the "T-Mitch to North Texas" one did.

Honestly, I don't think losing Gipson would be a huge loss for you guys. I don't know that he'd ever be more than a roleplayer on a competitive Big 12 team.

AND nobody has said the player in question is Gipson. He's just one of the few that would make sense.

Didn't know about the twitter stuff, and the JUCO influx coupled with the defections make it seem like I shouldn't have ruled him out.

from his tweets & facebook, that would be extremely surprising.


kstate has landed not one, but zero, juco posts.  although it is strongly rumored that watson will sign in the near future (or already has but hasn't announced).

Thought Watson was announced at the same time as Omari and others?   :dunno:

If I'm wrong on that, sorry. Heard "2 JUCO posts" second-hand. I don't follow you guys as closely as you do yourselves, obviously.

Again, not trying to cause a panic or start a shitstorm. I didn't think Gipson was one of the likelier suspects; just trying to figure out whether there was any reason to think he might be.

no, cassidy reported that he committed.  but then there's been nothing about him signing despite signing confirmos for ar-t, lawrence and jones.

it's not a problem, just expressing how unlikely i think it is that the rumor refers to gipson.  if i see anything on who it might be, i'll post it here.

Interesting.  Doesn't that mean that we still have a 'ship to fill(assuming 95 doesn't get it)?

Did Gip just say something on twitter or FB, bitching about people who try to get out of their commitments?
