Ironic if true[/quote]

Maybe they are investigating how a school located in a hotbed city within a hotbed state can possibly suck so bad.[/quote]

If that were the case, they'd be boarding a flight to JFK straight from O'Hare.
 
Class of 2019 SG Mario McKinney (@Boog341) tells me that Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski and his staff will be in St. Louis to do an in-home visit with him on Thursday. Big #KState target for the 2019 class.
HC & staff a nice approach:)
 
CA is very big place....doubt they are jumping in a car rental together to drive down to Los Angeles to watch kids ball.

It's only by coincidence we've had two CA players - Lovett and Simon (transfer)
 
Seems a great fit for them--and also speaks volumes about how difficult it is these days to land quality D1 players / transfers / prospects.

What is n/m? sorry, googling it has giving me too many answers.[/quote]

Man am i glad you asked that! 'Technically', I think it means 'never mind', nothing much' or 'no message'--but what i sense it really means is: 'that didn't say much, try again'!
But since I'm a techy / social media dinosaur, i could be wrong!
Meanwhile, we all need a break, let's go Johnnies!

Angel Delgado wins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award for top center, and coach Kevin Willard told me he thinks school should retire his number


Congrats to Jalen Brunson on winning the @Hoophall Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award!

Creighton had in-Home visits with Joe Cremo (Grad Transfer) and Koby McEwen (sit one play two Transfer) today. Plan to meet with Matt Mooney (Grad Transfer) this weekend. All three elite wings.

Creighton plays transfer game well

Today just got better: Phil Booth (@Philb_5) will return to Villanova for 5th year #NovaNation vuhoops.com/villanova-bask…

Also, Nova has solid recruiting class arriving.

They are positioned well. A couple of departures, a couple of strong recruits and everybody in house steps up. I see Spellman as the next guy to make a giant leap.

Travis Steele has been off and running on the recruiting trail this week. @XavierMBB gets a commitment from grad transfer Kyle Castlin. The 6-4 guard averaged 10.5 PPG, 3.8 RPG as a senior at Columbia.

Like Creighton, Xavier mixes transfers in well with basic recruiting. Both programs do it in a complementary fashion.
 
Georgetown’s PF Marcus Derrickson is entering the NBA draft and will hire an agent.
