Adjusting to Buzz's improved recruiting era

[Skatastrophy]

I always love the positive spin.  Jamil's quitting on his team is excusable huh?

I agree with you, but to play devil's advocate:

Jamil would be quitting Oregon to come play at Marquette.  A better school and a better basketball program.

If Jeronne were quitting to go play for Tennessee it would sting more for us, but at least you could kinda understand the thought process.

It's very different quitting school mid-year with a plan in mind than quitting mid-year with no plan.

The Wilson option seems to be a moot point, from what the Dr. is posting.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

C'mon guys...

Jeronne Maymon quits mid-year.  He's a bad guy who quits on his team.  No way anyone would want him.

Jamil Wilson quits mid-year.  LET'S GET HIM!!!!

Bingo.

Also, the kid from UCLA who quit a few weeks back... some people here were all over him.

I'm disappointed that Maymon quit, but realistically, it's just basketball, and he and his family decided they would be happier going someplace else.

No big deal.

[LAZER]

A visitor for the North Florida game or from North Florida? Or both?

I'm just saying there are different circumstances at play with Wilson than either Gordon or Maymon.

Those two are basketball related. Wilson, if he were to leave, would almost certainly not be.

Exactly, all about PT and the right situations.  Situations change on a dime.  A matter of supply and demand.

Not trying to be cryptic here, but recruiting is a fluid situation.  Use the facts, the timing and your noggin.  Fact:  Buzz has said he is on a mid-year.  Timing:  The semesters are over.  Fact:  Transfers have to declare with the NCAA (see the list).  Timing:  Potential recruits visit during games, starting with our next one since semesters are over and kids declare.  Fact:  We have a dire need for a PF that just got worse.

Noggin:  JUCO's who are qualified who fit the need, Buzz & Crew's network, whispers, past relationships, inference (like Gordon has opened up his recruitment a little wider, Kent is on the hotspot), teams who do and don't have open scholies.  You start to put the pieces of the puzzle together.  Watch the stands and the wire.  Buzz is stealthy.

As a former homicide investigator, I am liking this.  It's like 48 hours mystery, The First 48 and The Wire combined. 

Quick, someone get a surveillance squad ready for the game.

OK, I'll play...probably wishful thinking but I'll say Oregon's Michael Dunigan (even though he hasn't announced yet). No guess for the JC guy. 

[WiseWarrior83]

How about Sam Dower?  I seem to recall that he visited us, and we were on his short list.  At this point, he has yet to play a minute for the Zags.  I wonder if that would mean he'd still have all 4 full years of eligibility remaining?

What makes you say this? Oregon is a fine school.
