Rico Gathers tweets tonight:

"LSU fans are sore losers, all they know how to do is point the finger". Continues about Jarrett Lee...

"I wouldnt want to play LSU football.  Fake AF"

not to go out of the way to interpret, but I know there is a lot of pressure for Rico to stay home and play for LSU to play bball and even consider football.  Well duke is out with Gathers, and he isn't likely going to LSU with that reaction to their fans.  Call it at least a small step in our direction because I was most worried about LSU and Rico considering football there as well.

Why do you keep calling him Rico? Does he go by that?

His Twitter is RicoGathers21.

Gotcha.

Duke isn't interested.

Dave,

Seems like STJ, LSU, and Florida are the major players here?

Thanks!

When did that happen?

Do you think KY gets involved if they lose Bennett?

Kentucky won't lose Bennett.

Duke changed speeds to Amile now who I don't think they'll land.  I don't think Gathers will add too many if any.  SJU still in great shape here methinks.  And if gathers is worried, I think there is a greater likelihood of lots of other coaches not being around for Rico's tenure than Lavin, like Boeheim, Calhoun, coach K and Cal.

I've seen him referred to as Rico before.  And Rico is short for Ricardo as Rich is to Richard.

Thought Dick was short for Richard.

We've got too many dicks around here already. 

On a completely unimportant side note, my friend's father introduces himself as Dick when meeting older people, but calls himself Richard when talking to younger ones.

As if dick hasn't been in the venacular for centuries.

Sounds like a Richard. 

On a separate note I have not been drinking tonight.  Just having some fun.

just noticed ricardo retweeted lindseys commitment to arkansas, not sure if hes friends with lindsey or if hes making a point that another stjohns player goes somewhere else. maybe im looking into it too much.

I think it was dick who retweeted that -

Hmm, not sure what to make of that.   I don't remember hearing that Arkansas was a team pursuing Gathers... and there's nothing linking Rico and Nuri. 

I'm gonna try not to over think that one, and trust the posters here who have said Gathers may be back on board soon.

No clue here just a guess, I think you are looking into this way too much. I'm sure they linked up on twitter earlier on with their connections to the basketball team. Or I could be completely wrong.

He probably met Nuri when he visited or during Midnight Madness and became friendly with him. He probably just did that retweet because he is happy Nuri has found a landing spot. Don't over think things, people retweet things constantly its not a big deal at all.

Maybe hes happy Nuri is gone

From Jeff Borzello Twitter-

Ricardo Gathers said Baylor, St. John's, Florida and NC State are his favorites right now.
