  1. '19 IN SG Brandon Newman (Purdue Verbal)

    Hopefully it means his leader is no longer in contention which could leave the door open for coach Holt. The big ? is would they take his verbal with Liddell's decision still pending? I don't see CH as the type to over-sign. While it is at least 50-50 a player will bail for PT - or maybe even...
  2. '20 OH PG Zeb Jackson (PG ttun, transfer to VCU)

    I wonder if this offer puts any heat under Dom Penn to commit and get his spot in the class wrapped up/reserved. With only two sure spots - though more will undoubtedly pop up by the time the 2020 class signs - and now 3 Ohioans offered it might get a bit tight at some point.
  3. '19 OH SF Jordan Mitchell (Verbal Offer)

    I think he was injured for a long stretch this year. But I do think any interest has fallen by the wayside as the new staff has been working on a lot of other targets instead. The last two signings for this class are not likely to have Ohio ties.
  4. '19 FL SF Zimife Nwokeji (Florida St. Verbal)

    Veballed to FSU a few weeks back, so he's off the board now.
  5. '18 CA SG Bryce Hamilton (UNLV Verbal)

    A little surprised they'd still consider him since he is not even considered a combo G by anyone - strictly 2G/shooter. Noah Locke was a stretch for a combo, who might play some point, but Hamilton isn't even that - and PG is still the most glaring need on this team ( both Washington and...
  6. '18 DE CG Eric Ayala (Maryland Verbal)

    I've seen a couple of articles at another site that quoted him as saying that if he reclassifies to the 2017 class his most likely choices would be ORE, MD, or tOSU. Because those schools most want him to reclassify and come in for the 2017-2018 season. IU is ambivalent and wants him either...
  7. PF Kyle Young (Official Thread)

    His h.s. coach said he is mulling it over and would likely make some kind of public decree, one way or another, within 3-4 days. I do think he must get a release from Butler BEFORE anyone on the staff can contact him directly - but like with other similar situations, like true transfers, a lot...
  8. PF Kyle Young (Official Thread)

    Why wouldn't they release him? If he asks for a release because he no longer wants to be there I don't like the idea of programs trying to hold kids hostage and against their will like that. I also don't think he'd play a big role here as a frosh unless KBD is still significantly unable to...
  9. PF Kyle Young (Official Thread)

    I doubt the coaching buyout has anything to do with it, but most programs understand that in a coaching change some of the recruits will have a change of heart and want to follow the coach. Not releasing them is "sort of" bad form and bad kharma really as do you really want kids that no longer...
  10. Scholarship Breakdown by Class

    So we are at 88 ( plus the expected greyshirt of Haubeil ). You have already trimmed Thompson though he isn't officially gone YET - though it seems a high probability. Stump was making visits, so I think it is a safe bet he is 1 of the "3 more" that is gone by the end of the school year. I...
  11. In-State Players to Watch

    Saw the same thing AuTX. There isn't really a bruiser between-the-tackles short-yardage type TB on the roster. Being short on TBs, in-general, I wonder if they'd take a risk on Ellison late here. I think they may take more than 3 more now(still lots of candidates for trimming off the...
  12. CB Kendall Sheffield (New York Jets)

    Who is the 7th DB commit? 6 not counting Williamson would mean 7 with him. I think you meant 5! Still a huge haul, losing 3 starters makes it justified though.
  13. CB Kendall Sheffield (New York Jets)

    I thought he was an early enrollment guy - since he didn't go to JUCO for grade/score reasons. You'd think we'd know by now if he was in classes today...
  14. Bubba Bolden (DB USC Trojans, transfer to Miami Hurricanes)

    I keep reading that there is no longer any interest from tOSU and the two parties haven't talked in weeks. So that pretty much means it's USC!
  15. PG Braxton Beverly (transfer to NC State, transfer to Eastern Kentucky)

    Needed guard help, not sure he'll bring much as the #307 rated in the class with his best offer up until now as GW. Still hoping they can bring in another G that can step in and play at this level next season. Have read some rumors that Jarron Simmons from OU will do a merc year at tOSU next...
  16. '17 NC SG Thomas Allen (NC State Decommit)

    Kam is the only proven shooter on the roster. We all HOPE the newcomers will shoot well at this level but until they do it is all hope. So I advocate that Matta keep looking for more shooters in the next few classes. I'm not sure Andre will be the answer at 3 down the road, so Matta should...
  17. Buckeye b'ballers you may have forgotten

    Rich and Pletke were in Eldumb's last class, along with "gunner deluxe" Randy Doss, IIRC. I believe Rich was sold as the best Center out of Maine that year or some such nonsense. And I believe it was Pletke, another C, who floored Burson on a blindside pick in a pick-up game in the summer and...
  18. '17 NC SG Thomas Allen (NC State Decommit)

    Offering a smallish shooting specialist is interesting. It looked like most of the backcourt offers up until now were for combos who could or wanted to play some point. Even the 6'5 and 6'6 guys they are after mostly are considered to be PG possibilities - a la Russell coming in. Guys like...
  19. '17 OH C Derek Culver (West Virginia Verbal)

    Litl, I hope that is true. Matta has shown a pretty good eye for staying away from kids from OH who are "red flags". And it does seem like a fair amount of them end up with Thuggins at WV. ;) They sure didn't show any signs of going after Culver - despite his being pretty well regarded by...
