DeAntoni Gordon 6'8 F 2019 a Shocker!

I really hope he honors his verbal commitment. I'm glad we aren't seeing a bunch of teams offering him.

Not too many suitors yet.
We keep our high winning standard, he will honor his commitment.
High winning records and advancements into the tournament will make recruiting much easier .

I guess it is always an open question until he actually signs but your comment doesn't seem to be a confident sounding post like WstateU does. Not enough winning history, have you been beaten down by the 90's and can't get over it, or perhaps just too many negative things this past year? C'mon man. Buck up and have some confidence in the Shockers and Coach Marshall. :)

Not sure this has anything to do with confidence in the Shockers and Coach Marshall. It has more to do with confidence in the recruit and that can sometimes be an iffy proposition. Not all of them are mature beyond their years like Fred was.

DeAntoni up to #182 in the recent 247Sports rankings. Up from #228.

Fairly significant for someone who committed a year early, and not to Duke, to keep rising in recruiting rankings. That's exciting.

Today his ranking is #192, up from #182. Do they change rankings that fast?

[homegrownshocker]

Sold on this prospect from the first video I watched after his decision. If these ranking guru's have 181 players ranked above him, iI have to question there judgement. #55 on the list is a player I was interested to follow once we started recruiting him & he switched to Sunrise. Personally, would chose Gordan over him if we could only sign one of the two prospects.

If Austin Reaves leaving for OU upsets you... Then guys like Gordon are going to make other good players on our team to leave for other good programs as well.

[ShockTalk]

1) AR did not leave because of other good players eating up his playing time.

2) Players leaving because of their inability to grab more playing time from others happen all the time.

[1979Shocker]

P5 teams like Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, etc. won't be on a player like Gordon until he's at least #50-100 or better. So being at #182 keeps him under the radar.

[Shockm]

Today his stock fell to 192. I guess it’s like the stock market so he is safer from Duke today than yesterday.

[Shox The Revenant]

Didn't KU's Devonte Graham sign with Appalachian State, then out-played his commitment over the summer and asked for his release to find greener pastures? If DeAntoni blows up over the summer, I guess we can feel a bit better since we're not Appalachian State, but you can bet the farm that middling to above average P5 programs will be all over him like flies on crap.

[Jhook89]

He was 192 yesterday too. I think 182 was a typo

Overtime is always posting clips of DeAntoni.

This guy is the reason 1-2 players will transfer next year

He's gonna take 2 scholarships? Wow!

He's gonna take 2 scholarships? Wow!

Pretty sure that is not legal. Unless you are UNC or KU.
