I guess the glass half full perspective is that we do not have to face him at Pitt.

Maurice Walker To Minnesota

Per Jeff Goodman's Twitter. I know we weren't in his top two but figured some may be interested just based on the fact that he was once on our radar and b/c Pitt ended up losing out to Minnesota

Or did Pitt let him go?  Not sure, but he seems to have wanted to go to Pitt, but it doesn't sound like Pitt was making the space for him. 
Would have been nice to land him, but I wouldn't mind someone who can get up an down the floor a little faster.  He may be best off in the big ten. Still would have liked to have a skilled big man, however.

But but but I thought his parents' priorities were "all messed up because they wanted him to play somewhere close to home so they could see him more..."at least that was what I read on this board a few weeks ago... ::)


It was "LittleMurs" who said...

If only Walker's dad can give what's best for his son a higher priority than how long a flight he'll have to make to see him play.

Huh...shows how much people "know", or "think they know."

It was LittleMurs. And, I didn't say that his parent's priorities were messed up, I made the point that I felt that Maurice's situation should be the number one consideration. This was based on a quote from his father that he and his wife wanted Maurice to stay within an hour's flight from Toronto for their convenience when coming to see his games.  It seemed to me at the time that a potentially better situation for Maurice should be a higher priority for them than their flight time.

As this commitment shows, they evidently now agree with me since Minnesota isn't within an hour's flight time from Toronto.  I don't want to take credit for this turn about by Maurice's parents, but we do know that that recruits and their parents do read these boards.....

The point is...you built too much of an assumption on one quote. A quote given to a writer that is based in NYC that covers teams on the east coast.

Be careful now, you don't want to build too much of an assumption on one quote. A quote given to a writer that is based in NYC that covers teams on the east coast.   ;)

He also said it to Rivals.com.  I think they are giving Pitt one more chance to open up a scholarship for him.

That would make sense, as Pitt has been his fav from the start.

I may be in the minority here, but if that's the case, I hope he ends ups at Pitt.  While others might not want to face him, I want MU to be in the league where the top HS talent is ending up.

Zagsblog (via his Twitter) says this morning that Walker for sure committed to MN and will be signing today...

Since HaywardsHeros isn't here to say it, I guess I'll tell Maurice; "For God's sake, stay away from the Mall of America."*

hahaha. Im not worried about this guy getting into trouble he sounds decent but i wanted him here to lure Cory Joseph.



Royce on the other hand has issues. I commented him last year saying i was more than willing to take him on a personal shopping spree if he helped us to a Big 10 title.....a week later....he was in on a laptop theft
