:'(fine loose yet another recruit
When Gathers signed with Baylor, all the fans said we needed Shepard. When Shepard signed with SDSU, all the fans said we needed to sign Sampson again. When Sampson supposedly rules us out of the running, all the fans said we needed to sign Obekpa.And if we fail to sign him, who are we going to need to sign next? Listen, I'm holding out hope that there is a grand scheme on the recruiting front, but as of right now it seems the 2012 class is a huge failure. Signing two or three under the radar JUCO's is kind of unacceptable when your sole responsibility has been recruiting.

With that and an improving Greene and Pointer, we could do very well with a role playing, shot blocking moose or two, and another shooter. Is that the ideal ? No but we could make the show, get coach back showing his health is not an issue, and really bring in a killer class for 2013. I don't know about you but after suffering through 6 years of Norm, I'm not worried.

We have our horses, lets build around them.
Ron Roberts looks great right now, he's owning Temple. He might be the 6th man of the year. But we don't have a spot for me, another great decision by the staff
One minute you got Jakarr the next you don't then you do! Spend to much time thinking about this type of situation. I hope this young man does well for himself and hope sju is the place! If not coach Lavin will bring young men who will learn and improve as humans and ballers!
Question: do we not get an official from JS this time around? Would be nice to have him come out for the BE Tourney.
We have two of the biggest impact freshmen on the nation on one team. If hs prospects aren't drooling over that, then I don't know what does it for them. Arguably both D'Lo and Harkless could share Big East ROY and both IMO are first or second team freshman All Americans. Prospects need to realize that this doesn't happen often, and is not a coincidence considering neither was in considerations for McD's AA status.

Agree with what you say about the freshman but that could scare off someone who does not have the self confidence of a D'Angelo. We need good players coming in but we need lads who have the confidence that they can play with the fresh five. Could we be losing out on those who want to take the easy way rather than compete with the fresh five for minutes and notoriety?
