Who is Satchel Pierce?

[Pakuni]

I am pumped. Today is his decision? A 7 foot, 2.7 star center ranked 200. We are finally landing the stud bigs. Hope he commits our way.

How's he making fun of buzz?

Because Buzz is God.... duh.

[mr.MUskie]

God would choose MU. No brainer.

How tall is he?

How tall is he?

I'm not sure how tall Norman is, but God looks like he has to be at least 8 foot or so...

Pierce tweeted this last night:

@satch1032: God just told me what school I should goto The only problem is I dont uwhat he was trying to say. Anyone tryin to help me with this one?

Not sure if he's looking for Twitter love, conflicted, or has simply made his mind up. One thing that would worry me...if he's really getting a message from God, he'll probably go to Miami. After all, everyone at Marquette is already saved, whereas the U is clearly a den of sinner that either need to be saved or purged

Not a twitter guy, does it have spell check? Good Grief, like decoding the illuminati.

There are definite drawbacks to 140 characters. Twitter is not a place for the grammar conscious.

And it looks like he's got an NBA-ready frame...already has some bulk.  I hope he signs.

Assuming Norman's average height (say, 5'10"), I think God's got to be taller than 8'.  Maybe we could get PTM to make an educated guess.

...Says the guy with 4500 posts. The picture must be referring to himself.

Any chance we can get Michael to come along, too, in a package deal?  Bet it would be a great PF/C combo.  Certain to put up huge numbers against Duke.

[Dawson Rental]

My gut feeling says he's not coming

It could just be indigestion.

Pakuni's post clearly went over your head. Post count is not directly related to attention whoring. Repeating the same mantra in seemingly every single one of your posts, on the other hand...

[Dawson Rental]

Trust me on this, we do not want this guy.  While he has all the tools, his head is never in the game.  Zero focus. He is constantly distracted by the thoughts and goings on of 7 billion people.  A lot of the time he even forgets that he's in a game.

Yeah, but imagine the post-game pressers..."First of all, I'd like to thank me because, well, let's face it, we couldn't have done it without me."

That may be your most obnoxious to date.

How do you know that? I trust Buzz and if a 3 star 7 footer wants to walk through the doors of the Al I sure as hell wouldnt say no.

Pretty sure Murs was referring to the Almighty, not Paige, as the recruit we don't want.
And I kind of concur. I mean, sure, his game is perfect, but is he coachable? Doesn't seem like the type to take direction from mortals.

I don't have a problem with it, but I know the fact that he's already got a kid is not going to sit right with some people.

Willie,

There is more than 1 way to get an effective big man on your roster.

Getting Anthony Davis is one way. (Impact comes immediately)

Getting Davante Gardner is another way (Impact comes in years 3&4)

I realize you love the top rated bigs, but that's not the ONLY way to get a good center.

Well in that case...

[humanlung]

This differs from a typical NBA presser how???

[Archies Bat]

I look at this situation as a positive.  He took responsibility for the kid, but I'm told he never touched the mother.

[Spotcheck Billy]

but is he a traditional?

[barfolomew]

God forfeited his remaining eligibility when he turned pro, after he and Austin Croshere led Providence to the E8 in 1997.

LOL

Well his son is Jewish.
