who dat?

[wushock]

Could it b Demetrius Tyson of Brighton, Tennessee whom we had interest in

[tropicalshox]

He's the only one I've come up with?

[tropicalshox]

Except it is Demetrius Dyson. Took a recent offical to UMass and somebody on Twitter asked what's up witn walking on?

[tropicalshox]

I continue to have doubts about it being Dyson. His home visits are with UMass, Lipscome, Murry State and SEMO. And the twitter account indicates a connection to Atlanta.

Desmond Lee did not visit Creighton as planned.

[forevershockerfan]

Let's just say we sign 2 in Nov. Who do we want and who would we get most likely? Shaq. and a guard, maybe Bowles? Just curious what you all think. It is always good to know that if we get the solid High School players early, and openings do present themselves later, we always get very good Juco players who are ready and able to come in and play from jump street.

I give us somwhat less than 50 percent on Shaq. Have a feeling he is more comfortable close to home and smaller program. But I would be thrilled if we get him. The other big favorite is Manyang. I have no idea on chances and don't expect to hear much about him before Spring. Bowles and Canady are favorites for guards. Drexel has a jump on us and location advantage for Canady and we would have to come on strong. We have a good shot for Bowles but as far as I know there are several schools still in the running. Perhaps Southern Miss. is one to be most concerned about. It appears they also would love to have him. It's certain he will not re-commit to UCF.

I think we get Morris, he seemed much more excited about WSU than ORU in that video....what about Shirmaine any new info on him Trop?

[tropicalshox]

Not a thing on Thomas other than the belief of CU out of it. But that is old news.

Shockers had some interest in 6-8 pf Austin Sparks before he committed awhile back to South Dakota. He is from Colorado.

KEEP AN EYE ON THIS KID!

There is a young b-ball player here in Rockford,IL name James "pickles" Robinson goes to school at Rockford Lutheran high school. He is a FRESHMEN. He is one of the best b-ball players I have seen at this age! He is very close to Fred van vleet and his family. The kid plays like FVV great point guard skills. Plays on FVV old AAU team where he mostly played U17 and he is only 15! and was often the best player on the floor! He is 6'0 190 right now and very strong with great hops. To show you the kind of athlete this kid is, he plays football on the varsity squad and has rushed for 1,670 yards and 24tds in 10 games so far this year. Keep this kid on your recruiting radar for the next few years...

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like quite a talent.
