Why do you think Obekpa has taken a long time to decide? His handlers want him to go to Nike school. Why? Because they get kickbacks if players stay with same brand. I suggest you read this.

Ok. Ridiculous, mainly because if that's how it is we should target addidas players only and if that's not how it is we should quit using it as an excuse.

Agree. I'm worried about that position after Cash. Heck last year when Cash left the floor I always got nervous. Hurt us in the O$U game as well.

Hope we get someone that can compete for some serious time in the 2013 class as I am not sold on Guyn at all.

obekpa was playing for an adidas aau team this past weekend (new heights). if his handlers wanted him to go nike so bad- do you think they would have let this happen?

trust me, i've read play their hearts out, I'm in tune with the shoe company stuff...so I'm not second guessing that it occurs. just think we all want to find reasons to blame people for why we don't get guys- when evidence this past weekend seems to indicate he is an adidas guy.

not to mention, we want to say we didn't get player x because his handlers wanted him to go nike....how do you know we haven't also been the beneficiary of these dealings where player x's people push him to an adidas school ala UC? it works both ways.

Actually, I think Obekpa is going to announce on May 7 because it is his mom's birthday.

It just seems that Mick can't seal the deal very often. Frustrating.

I am not sure there is a lot of evidence of this.

If you recruit 15 players you cant get them all.

Anybody heard anything about Montrezl Harrell decomitting from VT after Greenberg fired. Were we recruiting him befor he signed? Seems like a good player.

I'm not real sure Dylan Ennis had a firm offer. I think Mick was recruiting year round, just trying to have something lined up unless we lose Obekpa. I am not sweating Ennis going to Villanova. Mick will dangle Cash's PT at enough rising seniors to get a good PG signee in November.

The ones that are pissed over losing Ennis, who would you like to run off to make room for him? I just don't think he's that good. But I will be freaking out with you if Obekpa signs with St. John's.
