Supposed to announce at 3pm. So we'll know soon enough, but I assume it won't be us.

I know people were high on this kid but I don't want any part of a big that not only chose Kansas st over us but then puts us in his finalists with freakin Fresno state. And don't give me the closer to home argument. That would work for other major conference teams or maybe really good mid majors but not Fresno state. This guy doesn't want the big stage or success. FYI-part of the reason he picked Kansas state in the first place was the social scene there and that along shows bad taste and judgment. I'm ready to roll with Moses and Tyler. These are guys that want to be hoyas, love to be hoyas, want to win and are good teammates. Center is not a position of need this year IMO.

As I said it would be a luxury, but 7-footers with skill and size you cant turn away. Looks like he's not comin anyway, so let's roll with what we have plus Tay.

Not to mention Hopkins.....if he can finish on some of those moves he had down low last year, he could be a nice scoring option next season. I would think that will come with another offseason under his belt.

I love Hopkins and am excited for Adams and especially Moses. Upshaw would be nice but I think we'll be fine.

Moses + Adams @ 5 Nate + Hop + Bolden @ 4 Otto + GW + Pollard @ 3
When Hop gets stronger he'll be really nice. IQ is there.

Moses is gonna surprise a lot of people this season. He's only 6'9' (only!) but has a HUGE frame. I like what i've seen from him on offense, and what he brings to the table defensively is unmatched. I was impressed last year in Kenner, and since then, even though he hasn't played, he has gained experience through China, Maui, a BE season, BE tourney, and NCAA tourney. I have to assume that he's even better. Moses is the Hoya I am most looking forward to watching next year. He will surprise!

You have to play minutes to gain experience. The games are completely different than practice. The 5 spot will be the biggest question mark. I think it will be a spot up for grabs, but nobody, including III, knows how these guys will respond when the lights come on. They ALL will get their shot if healthy, Moses/Adams/Hopkins and I think minutes will get distributed based on court performance.

Needs some time to shave the Fresno logo into the back of his head. 3 hours should suffice.

Rumors mean nothing now, especially coming from Telep, but for what it's worth he and Goodman are saying Upshaw was at Fresno this weekend, but he was told not to bet on Fresno as his choice.
Whatever. Only another hour to wait now.

I don't believe we need another C this year. What we NEED to do is lockup Pollard and get Meeks next year.

4/15/12 5:52 PM WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, hold the phone: A box big enough to accommodate another hat has been placed between the other 4. Drama builds. #prepblitz
Maybe their is a chance. Doubt it

If they really set down a "mystery" box, then I wouldn't feel good if I were one of those schools.
But enough of the hat picking and other gimmickery. Just pick a damn school.
