No idea. Just saw everyone else making a big deal about it and felt I'd contribute. Beats the hell outta talking about the current state of affairs of the team.

Ha! I'll add to it. He also followed Justin Gainey and Jake Presutti

This did all kind of start as a joke but I think we might be onto something here!!

There's a lot of momentum and good vibes coming from the team out of both our Sacar and O'Field chances, for what it's worth.
I was told Sacar seemed to really enjoy his visit and he connected well with the guys on the team. One of the things I liked best about Nick was how big of an MUBB ambassador he was before ever stepping on the floor. While we have all been discussing his recent Twitter antics, for a long while he was talking MU up at any and all times. That kind of stuff doesn't go unnoticed, and I'm sure his enthusiasm and recruiting certainly helped guys like Henry and Haanif. So to see Haanif pick up where he left off and "follow/get followed by" a guy like Sacar, while goofy to speculate on, certainly is a great sign IMO.

I know I brought it up with Traci Carter, and it's an imperfect measure, but if a guy goes out and follows the entire coaching staff, video coordinators, and fellow recruits, that's important to me. Certainly these guys follow tons of people but it just adds to momentum I'm told we have.

Ideally, we get commitments from:
-Sacar Anim
-Maurice O'Field
-PG (Traci Carter or a JUCO PG)
-Hold on to a scholarship for a Grad Transfer

While O'Field looks to be a phenomenal athlete, and a guy who can step in and play the 3 right away, it doesn't look like he's the greatest shooter so maybe we find someone who can stretch the floor as well. I think we're in a great spot right now.

Sacar is exactly the type of player you look for in the spring signing period. Late bloomers who have been raising some eyebrows. Davante Gardner and Todd Mayo were both spring signings - the former turned out great, and the latter would have been just fine if he had his head screwed on straight.

Pretty sure Todd was a fall signing. Add Jae Crowder to the spring signing list. And DJ Newbill but that turned out to be a catch and release.

Todd was a Spring signing.

Good point about Jae too, but many Jucos are spring signings.

I stand corrected.

Kids not even top 150. This guy was offered by nobody special

Gardner was considered a dumpy prep player who'd never have the discipline to lose any lbs as to impact a college game. Good thing Buzz listened to those scouting reports! And he had to battle the behemoth that is South Florida to get the cookie monster. Gaaa.....legend......get back to homeroom and the Diamond Stone snapchatting!
