Maybe Steve gets some more miles by being in the Dominican for the signing

Day like today, I wanna be in the DR.

Apparently his coach at Monroe is stating Sanchez has not committed anywhere, as reported by MjDinkens on Redmen.com
Perhaps just a formality?

Signing after committing may be considered a formality but never verbalizing a commitment seems to me to be more than a formality otherwise it is just a formality that Kate Upton is going on a date with me this saturday night.

monroe assistant athletic director tells me orlando isn't a done deal...yet.  not that it won't happen..but it's not done.

Orlando Posted this:

"Lo mas malo en la vida es tener que tomar desiciones que te van a cambiar la vida pero en realidad no saber para donde ir y en quien confiar"

Loosely translated:
"The worst thing in life is to make decisions that are going to change your life, but in reality, not knowing where to go and who to trust"

Already posted...other sources say he has committed

I knew all along that signing Sanchez was a definite maybe. Knew this for months

it's still in the maybe column.  he's still undecided.

What is next in terms of inside info- KA reconsiders and goes to Iona?

No Anderson wanted to go to Seton Hall up until a week before he signed at UCLA. Again, I've known this for years but couldn't post it.

paultzman how would you compare him to GG? 

It's not even close.  Orlando has much better hands, a pretty consistent midrange jumpshot, probably 2 inches bigger, runs the floor better and is an extremely impressive passer.

Orlando takes ridiculously long strides when he runs.  Can use some work on some of the finite footwork but I really believe the kid is an NBA player.

Bump

I think I've asked this before, but Theo said he thought Sanchez looked like a future NBA-player... really??   
That would be tremendous.   But I didn't see that kind of talent jumping off the screen when I watched his two playoff games online.

The moving without the ball, passing, ball-handling ... that's all true though, from what I saw.   Just didn't see any one skill that jumped out at me.  Or a go to scoring move.

Naw - it's Oak Hill's Jordan Adams now telling RIVALS that he's had to bite his tongue till signing day, but that he, Shabazz Mohammad and Kyle Anderson made a pact two ago they were all going to UCLA.   Coulda saved the Jungle about 2,500 KA posts!  http://ucla.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1353980

If this is true then Anderson lied to the press a two weeks ago when he said he was going to Seton Hall until a week before he made his announcement and changed his mind to UCLA the week before he announced.

Kyle Anderson
St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.), G/F
Signed to: UCLA
The school that came in second for me was …
“Seton Hall. I’ve never told anyone this, but this is crazy. Exactly a week before I chose UCLA I had decided that I was going to Seton Hall. It was a done deal. Then I had another talk with my family the next day and I felt like it was UCLA. If UCLA didn’t exist I’d be at Seton Hall, no question. I just couldn’t turn down [UCLA], the tradition, the weather, the beach, all the pros that play there in the summer. Plus I’m cool with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love, just everything about it. And I mean, c’mon, it’s L.A.!”

Anyone else take the 4/5/6 train the last two days and notice the huge advertisements for Monroe College??  (home to Marco and Orlando)

The ads tout Monroe's athletics teams and school spirit... and take up the whole length of the subway car haha

"Here are Some Statistics to Know:  national ranking for Monroe's teams - Men's Basketball #3, Mens/Womens Soccer #2, Women's Basketball #1"

No not really.  Adams said they made this pact 2 years ago.  Kyle Anderson probably thought about breaking the pact and then in the end decided not to.  That assumes there ever was a pact or that Kyle really was going to SHU up until a week before his decision.

At the end of the day, who cares?
