Logic says Niko has told Washington of his de-committing with a public announcement today.

Wow even with our final scholarships we are potentially adding impact players times have changed! The guys were filling out our roster with are guys pre Pitino we wouldn’t even be able to get as starters.

Niko is if Serbian descent who grew up in Ohio.

Kid looks good. Aggressive forward that looks like he can play all 3 frontcourt spots. Would translate well to a stretch PF when Mitchell, Hopkins gone or even a center like Zuby.. Looks like he has a great motor too. Reminds me of the type of kid UConn always lands.

Btw, dk & Mug were on the pulse of smoke around a possible HS de-commit early. Site fortunate to have them.

Kid could be our starting 4 in two years. Wow.

Yup.. kid has a handle and can pass too. Talented kid. Would thrive developing under Pitino alongside Prey as our next 2 big forwards.

Genius move by Maher to write a bunch of letters in a post, say SJU was recruiting a big with some combination of those letters, or names that sound like them, or names that kind of sort of sound the same.

Now he gets credit for being an insider for every rumor that hits the internet as those “rules” can get applied to basically anyone.

Seems adept at using both hands around the rim as well.

Watch some of the interviews. He’s got some of that D’Lo attitude which I like. Kid is a dog.

Big-time programs have guys like Imran and Niko who will not play much as freshman but can step in as sophomores and be immediate contributors.

That's like being the tallest 3rd grader.

Saw a Washington home game last season and it was a bleak scene on tv. The arena was like 30-40% full and there was absolutely no energy. Marquette, Xavier, and even New Mexico absolutely blew them away in games I saw the same week. I looked into it more and Washington averaged only 5,600 fans per game last season. Oregon was even less! USC and UCLA not much better.

It really seems like high major west coast basketball is getting absolutely crushed by football realignment. Great news for Big East schools in recruiting.

But suspended for playoffs for using an IPA soaked tile.

 

[tnice]

Am I the only one continually asking myself "what the absolute f**k is happening here?" on a weekly basis? Like, is this real? We're stacked to the bejeezus and we're adding a freakin McDonalds AA?? Whaaat?

 

[paultzman]

Adding the NAIA big and Niko makes a lot of sense imo.
