Hard to imagine Providence or Oregon would provide more national exposure than U.C. I could maybe see St. John because its in New York, do you think thats where he's being pushed?

Hearing that is just frastrating, in regards to national exposure. I think UC gets plenty of national exposure. Could they get more? Yes, but in the grand scheme of things. Seeing our weak out of conference schedule we get good air time. A ton of their games were on ESPN last year and they got plenty of time on the screen for the NCAA tourney. There isnt too much more you could want unless you are the likes of UNC DUKE KANSAS M. St.

Thats what I'm saying; I don't see the schools on his final list being able to give anymore national exposure to him. Especially since oregon, st. john, and providence don't have the recent success U.C. does.

I agree with ya, I was just saying for people before talking about exposure being an issue, if that's the case we are money.

Geez, just bring Obekpa in and show him a highlight video of Kenyon Martin and then one of Eric Hicks, that should do the trick. He has the potential to be like them.

Be careful, he might commit to WVU then.

He visited the campus, so yes, there is a chance. Slim, but a chance.

Jeff, lots of senarios being kickied around. Is it still your opinion that we will land Obekpa and move forward with the team we have now? if we add Ennis will it require a transfer to add him to roster? Is it possible we wuld add both tayor and Obekpa?

Taylor is unlikely imo. Can't see him being brought on board with him not confirmed as qualified. Ennis will be in this week so the possibilities are interesting. If Ennis commits do you make room for Obekpa? The past tournament showed the importance of shot blockers. I think Mick will try and secure a committment for Obekpa but I'm absolutely not ruling out Ennis and Obekpa or another pg. It is obvious to me Mick wants another pg. How it works out we'll have to wait and see.
