will take, not excited but will make the recruiting rankings things look better

Don't believe it yet, but it would be a very nice recovery from losing Cauley. Definitely the most impressive get since...Judge?

yeah, I'm not excited about him though. The "cauley destroyed him" stuff made me sad.

You know bossi is a ridiculous local homer. Nino top 100!

steve dave · « **Reply #2601 on:** November 11, 2011, 11:20:31 PM »

yeah, that gives me hope (not for nino)

it would be incredible for me. i'd get to pretend to be some creepy old guy watching hs games he has no affiliation with.

it would also feel fantastic to take a recruit the gtown fans really want. they are so east coast elite type mean to us.

From Georgetown board:

I like how Pitino says that they are not expecting anybody else in the 2012 class.

Not that Pitino didn't lie about this, just not sure how he would benefit from lying about it.

yeah, he's a huge, slow post with touch so they think he's hibbert reborn.

Me either. Just thought I'd share. Kept his post count on there since, for some reason, it makes me feel better when it's not some guy with 2 posts suddenly bringing valuable info to the board.

I'm sure in reality that's completely irrelevant though.

Great Scoop KougLuke!

did you see last week where his mother said that if he didn't sign/announce monday it'd be because they wanted to see how fresno st.'s season went. and then today where everyone tweeted that he'd announce monday?

Would I be overestimating your BBS'n ability if I assume you already know that poster's reliability?

yes. but, this is a reliable situation. he's announcing tomorrow, so it's very likely he's told all of the staffs of his decision. and word seems to be filtering down independently on two different message boards. feels good.

As it stands right now, things are looking very, very positive for Kansas State.

In what medium is Upshaw announcing?

sys · « **Reply #2622 on:** November 13, 2011, 09:27:36 PM »

Upshaw isn't just 6-foot-10, he plays to every bit of that size, if not bigger, and is a true back-to-the-basket five-man. The junior isn't a speed merchant, but he's a terrific low post defender, has some soft touch on offense and plays hard. Most importantly, he's a scrapper and there isn't anybody near him getting a rebound in his area unless they can beat him in a street fight.

So he's basically Freddy Asprilla.

He's Lou 2.0 and the upgrade includes actual basketball skills.
