Recruits in the Weight Room

[Kung Wu]

(His advice is:) "If you work hard and do your job you won’t have to worry about getting yelled at too much. Do what you’re supposed to do. Limit mistakes. If you go in there and try to do it your way, or do it how you want to do it, it’s going to get ugly, and it’s going to get ugly real fast."

Like there was ever any doubt who is in charge.

Sounds like Mr. Armstead is not only leading by example, but distributing first class advice.

FVV seems to be a fast learner and understanding how the Man wants things done is in his (and the teams) best interest.

Yup, do it coach's way ... but with a little FVV FlaVVor! Holy crap: Freddie Flava Van Vleet!!

YYEEEEEEEAAAHH BBBOOYYYYIIEEE

Lufile is coming

Henry & Teddy are not.

[wushock]

What proof do you folks have regarding one of the recruits and two of the recruits not coming. If they are not coming what is their status.

I have a reasonably reliable source. Nothing is 100% as we all know, but I talked to a source today that seemed very confident about Henry & Teddy.

[SubGod22]

Teddy wouldn't surprise me. I'd be surprised if the Clearinghouse had already decided on Henry

[SHOXAAC]

I don't think the clearinghouse even got to bat as far as Henry goes with WSU.

Do you see Henry going the Juco route similar to Orupke or is there just no mutual interest? Hawkins in my view if he has to go the juco route will go elsewhere when the time comes. I always felt that when CU and Dayton did no pan out we were his 3rd choice.

Ok so say only Lufile shows:

Freshman: Green, Van Vleet, Baker
Soph: Cotton, White, Wessel
Juniors: Wiggins, Early, Lufile
Seniors: Orukpe, Hall, Williams, Armstead

That looks like the 13 scholarships to me with Mitchell and Vantauers as non scholarship for the 15 total.

Does this look correct?

Not only does that look correct, I like the balance among the four classes. Both in quantity and quality.

The feel I get is Oh Henry will not be wearing a Shocker uni this year or any year in the future.

Too many reasonably (or otherwise) "reliable sources" prove unreliable. I'll believe whatever happens when it does.

Personally, I've never expected Uwadiae to be on the roster next year, not because I'm an insider or have some alleged source, but simply because of his background of school-hopping. What happens after that, assuming he doesn't make it, is anyone's guess, but I don't see why he wouldn't be a future Shocker candidate. As for Hawkins, who has always seemed a reasonable gamble at best, nothing will surprise me.

[pie n eye]

This is stupid. Literally. Can't believe I'm even responding. Shows how dumb I am.

MY "reasonable" guess is he won't be on the high alert radar because he didn't show improvement during this past season. If the "whatever happens when it happens" scenario plays out and Henry doesn't show up, I guess the reliable sources become relevant and reliable.
