    I agree with 90. If its not the big that Doc wants, hold it to next yr. I really see little use in another guard or wing.

    I wanted to add this name as a Lehigh recruiting target

    Has offers from Northern State,South Dakota, Nebraska-Omaha & Central Michigan. He’s being heavily recruited by Creighton, Lehigh and Penn State.

    Leo Edwards committed to Louisiana Tech on his official this weekend. Bah was at Fairfield, after having already visisted Drexel and Towson.

    According to this tweet/article, we are no longer in the running for Senat: http://twitter.com/GiveNGobball/status/255366935255056385/photo/1

    Not sure if his offer was pulled after Kempton committed or what, but it appears we are off his list.

    That hurts.  He would have looked very good in the Brown and White.

    Devon Thomas to Missouri State per Alex Kline.  I think he will have an excellent college career.

    Greg Senat to Wagner who clearly is keeping up their recruiting momentum post-Hurleys.  They’ve been superb on the recruiting trail the last few years.  That is one NEC team I would like to get back on the schedule as they are on the up and up.

    Yes SBum, really interesting even post-Hurley’s that Wagner was able to seal the Senat deal. Good pick-up for them. How fired up are you for Friday?

    Can’t wait.  You never want to overstate the importance of one game (especially the first game of the season), but boy oh boy would a W set the tone for the season.  Let’s goooooo.

    Yeah, would be unreal man, talk about a continuation of momentum “momo baby”! Should be great matchup, they loaded with guards, best backcourt we’ll face all year, so we’ll see how LU Guard U holds up! Fired up.

     

    Even better – my comcast sports package gets the game! No extra fees, special orders, etc…I just get fox southwest!

    Uncommitted w/ confirmed LU offer:
    Mark Alstork, 6’4 G (OH) OFFER
    Monty Boykins, 6’3 G (OH) OFFER
    RJ Currington, 6’5 G (VA) OFFER; multiple high major offers
    Leo Edwards, 6’9 C (MI) OFFER, visit scheduled for September
    Nigel Hayes, 6’7 F (OH) OFFER; high major offers
    Michael Owona, 6’9 PF/C (MD) OFFER
    Greg Senat, 6’8 PF (CT) OFFER, lots of NEC and PL offers
    Isaiah Taylor, 6’2 G (TX) OFFER, high major offers

    Hayes has gone to Wisconsin, Senat to Wagner, and Edwards to La Tech.

    Hoops asked who I think is still a possibility for 2013, and the big one that jumps out to me is Michael Owona.  I have heard nothing on him in months, but he remains a legit wide-bodied 6’9 interior player who rebounds and defends.  The kind of guy we have been asking for on this board for years now.  He obviously may not pan out, but he would be the first legitimately sized 5 man in this program since Maneri/McCarthy.

    At one time there was also some reported itnerest in Brett Jolly, a 6’10 C from Texas, but I don’t know where that went.  He is another skinny stretch big however.

    I don’t know what to think about adding a fourth player in this class.  We have the scholarships (although I’m still not certain if it is 12 or 13) and there is defintiely a need, but I’m just not sure if I see it happening.  The fact that LU did not do a press release about the three fall signees makes me think they are waiting till the spring where there could possibly be an additional recruit.  The other question is, do we recruit over DC at the wing spot?  If the staff thinks he will be a non-contributor, either because of ineffective play or transfer, that would mean only bringing in 1 guard contributor (hopefully) in AP over two years, which will make us very thin in the backcourt when Mackey graduates.  For example, I love Monty Boykins, if the staff is pretty sure DC isn’t the guy, do they go for Boykins as well?

    Right now, I’d say my wish list is that we get Owona and DC turns it around, and we have some pretty good balance in the last two classes.

    It goes without saying, as this is 100% conjecture on my part, and we could well be done recruiting for 2013, or focused solely on players we know nothing about.

    Just did some research on Owona and it sounds like he is still wide open.  Here is a little blurb from a Baltimore h.s. basketball preview:

    Carrington also mentioned Taysean Scott, a point guard from McDonogh, and big men Christian and Mike Owona as DI prospects who played for NBE. Mike Owona has “significant mid-major interest,” according to John Carroll coach Tony Martin.
