Don't know if the thread needed it, but I sure did! Thanks Bert!

It's WeWillWinsday and we are SO FAR ahead of where we were just two months ago that a little more patience is justified. Give the staff time to seal the deal on a couple more recruits and stay positive!!!

Come on bert! Get your youtube game together! Click on the red youtube icon at the top of the posting window. Copy everything after the equal sign on the youtube, in your cases it was QfAlWRaRvKs and RZEYkuXxAPo, and and paste it right in the center of the youtube link, the blinking cursor! Now you are in business and you have a youtube video in the post instead of a link!

Just to prevent any surprises he's saying click on the red tube icon. Do not go to the redtube website.

Speaking of Pickett, has there been any news with him? I know it doesn't look like we are actively pursuing a recommitment but I am curious as to where he winds up because it looked like we were his only high major offer when he committed according to Rivals.

Rivals is terrible at updating that sort of thing. SLU and Western Kentucky offered almost immediately after the decommit but I haven't heard anything else. Pickett's AAU coach basically said that Javon made that decision out of emotion after Tilmon did it and regrets decommitting but it doesn't sound like Underwood is going to give Javon that opportunity.

[FONT=&quot]Two things about this I find interesting. 1. I agree 100% with Richey. Okoro and Liddell should really get a chance to show out with Wiseman gone. 2. Originally Cart'Are Gordon had been announced as moving from MOKAN to Team Penny, which I -- and others I saw tweeting -- saw as Travis Ford arranging to get Gordon away from the Porters (particularly Jontay). He was on Team Penny's roster at Indianapolis and played in 3 games, but didn't play in any at Atlanta. I haven't read anything about him being injured --although he could be (he only averaged 7 points a game in those 3 Indy games), so wondering if Ford decided just to get him off the EYBL circuit entirely and has him on an Adidas or UA team.(If he is staying with Penny, they gonna be pretty tough for the last EYBL weekend in Los Angeles next week.)

I actually would not have minded the chance for Pickett to come back...however now with the quality and number of 2018 players available that will not happen nor should it imo.

Big get for Shaka, Texas had emerged as the leader the last few weeks.

Westtown HS is building a tradition attracting talented centers. Daniel Ochefu (Villanova) and Georgios Papagiannis (13th pick in 2016 NBA draft) also played at Westtown. Their head coach is an interesting story, Seth Berger, the Wharton grad who founded AND1.
