With Walker in the fold, I assume this is officially not happening. Good. I like the make-up of the guys we are landing as well as talent.

Given the question-marks surrounding Rafus and pretty much everybody in the know feeling that Walker is better (admittedly, I am not one of them), I think this is a safe pass for now.

No board chatter prior to this announcement? Where ya'll at, recruiting pundits?

Maybe Copeland transferring, and Cunliffe not picking us - revived our interest in Rufus?
Hard to be too excited about this guy - Rufus does not sound like a super competitive, self-motivated guy from the recruiting reports. I'm glad we are recruiting guys like Walker, high energy self starters who might not have the 4/5 star rating. A guy like Rufus seems like a pretty significant gamble given where the program is at right now. If we have to take a few recruiting risks, I think we would would be better served to bring in lower rated guys that we know have a high motor.

So we are in his final 2, no way Kansas is bringing this guy in right now. His entire recruitment is too weird, the vibes on Rafus just do not feel positive.

TCU supposedly strong leader, but who knows...certainly seems like no Hoya-related chatter...

Adam Zagoria reported that he is he is a strong TCU lean. And, they seem to want him. That is fine by me.
I'm at the point where I just want kids with heart. I would take the Jabrils, Jagans, LJs, etc., any day over some higher ranked kids. I want kids with a real work ethic and some fight in them. If staff has to find them as transfers from JUCOs or mid-majors or just some diamonds in the rough from high school who want to learn basketball and win, I would take them any day over higher ranked kids who haven't demonstrated some tenacity. (Not saying we don't want the ideal -- a kid who has talent and heart. But I've grown weary of the kid who expects to jump within two years just based upon his potential). Right now, Waters and Walker seem like positive steps to me.
Rafus just sounds like a double negative. Our perception could be wrong, but I suspect not.

I know I was a big no on him but that was playing the way JT3 played. Would not be opposed to take him now. Same concerns. I think he will at keast provide a wing shooter

We had doubts on the board about his "motor" and his work ethic - but I trust that if anyone can light a fire under his butt and keep it lit, Patrick can.

I have to remind myself that he's a kid, but this kid checks almost every red flag. Questions with talent, attitude, academics, etc. Quit on his high school team mid-year. Who knows why he bailed on TCU, but that's another red flag. He teases with talent but underdelivers with results.
