Michael Chandler (OREGON VERBAL)

[Jnaw17]

 Was there any confirmation to why Chandler was in queens???

 

Union and Utopia

 

Very subtle Moose, thanks. Who from our staff has been around this week? Maybe Keady? Sounds like Dunlap may be on some interviews and Coach Lav has a few with him in Europe. Odd week for Michael to visit from that standpoint, although a great week to visit if he plans to sign up in a couple of days. Let's keep the fingers crossed.

 I've been a big fan of Chandler for a long time.... He would be the best center recruit since zendon IMHO.....

 Just a quick recap on where he's been from a jilted Louisville view.

Does anyone know or can take an educated guess of when we might find out if Mr. Chandler is making his way to queens?  Is there some time frame that we have to wait on? Thanks in advance.

It's in the NCAA's hands but apparently they're looking at it now. His uncle said they were hoping to hear this month but who knows?

 Word in the street is that Chandler is picking St. John's if he qualifies on twitter. Again, just word on the street but I hope this is true and he qualifies!

It's true, Joe. Hopefully, we get some positive news on his eligibility soon.

@Sergio Rodriguez: "I was just told 6'10" center Michael Chandler is a done deal at St John's if he qualifies"

Would take him in a NY minute over Obepka if he qualifies. Sanchez and Sampson are more than able to block shots. Chandler would be a force on the offensive end from the get-go. There was a reason Pitino was after this kid as a HS soph. He is a great talent. Dunlap would make him a beast.

Chandler has the whole package as a center. Our staff could get the most out of him. Many have been saying for a while now that he's ours if he qualifies. We all await the NCAA.

Good post, bill. I'd be more than fine with a combo of Sanchez, Sampson, and Chandler. Give me that trio and we can shut it down (2012 recruiting), as far as I'm concerned.

I'm also curious about Nolan. It should be fun times for us in the weeks ahead.

If Chandler qualifies, would you like to see the staff go after Nolan as well? All of that height would be tempting.

 

[Mean Gene]

 I would definitely like to have Chandler and Nolan because I think Chandler could be a one and done type player.

 

[allnet]

If we get Chandler, he is such a force, that this class will be an ever better recruiting class than last year's and remember last year's included Harkless. Just think about that !

Yes, I do, kranmars. We're talking about two guys towering around 6'11". Not to mention, Nolan seems rather lengthy, per video. I'm still not sure whether Nolan is gonna end up in the 2012 class or prep and come in the following season.

Regardless, I'd still like to have both Nolan and Chandler. Can you imagine the dearth of size and talent we could bring to the table?

I agree with mj. Give me Chandler or Nolan and then move on to 2013. Both is even better. Both are quality bigs and either can share time with Gift. Hopefully we hear soon about Chandler. He could be a monstrous addition for us. IF we add Chandler, the 2012 class will have added a top 60 player at PG, C, PF and a hon. Mention JC AA at PF. Not shabby by any means.

Staff is prepared to take both.

And I am prepared to wet my pants in excitement then.
