I never criticize anyone's evaluation of players, since I have little to no ability to assess highlights of high school kids. It will definitely be interesting (entertaining?) to see how many mea culpas are posted. I would certainly expect glide to be gracious in his acceptance. I don't have any problems with someone watching the Tubes and making an opinion on what his skill level is, whatever their opinion may be. You think a kid is NBA-bound? Great. You think a kid isn't BE quality? Okay too. The people who are going to have egg on their face are the "why does this kid have a thread devoted to him" thread police. There's 11 pages on Hagans, we have absolutely 0 shot of ever signing him. Why should we talk about 5* we have zero shot at signing but we can't discuss local kids who are our late signing options who the coaching staff have seen? Let the threads be threads.

I hope our PG recruit is not Devonish (no offense to him or anyone else)...I just think we should be able to do better...just look at his offers...he's a mid major/low Div 1 player...probably a nice player, but not the calibre we need...i'll be very disappointed if he is the guy we take....its still early April...we return most all of our pieces, and an especially a strong front court...people put too much emphasis on the fact that we haven't had a PG go to the NBA recently...hey, be the first...show you can run a solid team efficently at a great academic school in a great conference under a HOF coach in the nations capital...if a guy has the skills, he just needs the opportunity/stage to prove it...takes a little vision and some good salesmanship...guys who are only looking at who came before them may be looking too much in the rear view mirror, and not enough forward as to what they can achieve... Sleeper. It's not about offers. It's about the super local talent we have right here that's way under the radar. Every team he's been on he's made better. Top 10 ranking Washington Post. 2nd team all met. One of the top point guards in area. Uses both hands and he's cold blooded. Has vision, great pass first player.

we had a post on Hagans because Georgetown visited with him. The Devonish thread got into the double digits with no evidence of significant interest in him. That was the key distinction--we make threads, generally, for players that Georgetown has shown substantial interest in--otherwise, they go in the thread for that year's recruits. That and this thread devolved very quickly into a Editeding contest.
If Devonish comes, I hope he shows out as a hoya. But it's not egg in anyone's face, generally, that weeks (month?) before serious interest was shown, they said not to have a 10+ page thread on him.

I would be the 1st in line to gladly say I was wrong and give Glide his just due. He's been diggin' in the crates.
I never ridiculed Glide, but definitely had my reservations. This is mainly due to the three different High Schools and going Private top Public and stepping down in competition.

a) Devonish offer ain't a good sign b) Lotta people gonna have egg on their face If the offer comes, I can't wait to see if all those Haters who attacked and ridiculed Glide will have the stones to apologize to him??? I'm like a kid in a candy store waiting to see if the know-it-alls go ghost or man/women up hmmm... This is the number 1 reason I don't want this kid to get an offer/commit. Board is hard enough to read as it is. In comparison I could not care less about the actual player. I just will hate that it will validate all the spamming of the board that goes on. Finally pulled the trigger on that ignore button. Don't get me wrong I appreciate glide's passion and support, but the boards have become unreadable with his antagonistic style.

How is it Spam on Glide's part if he was right??? Wasn't the spam coming from everyone who attacked and criticized Glide for identifying a DMV PG? There were people criticizing him for even starting the thread... People should be thanking Glide for shining a light on Devonish so early on!!!!

This board is hillarious.... Well, that's one word to describe it, I guess. I can think of others...

If Ankijo is a no go, I would try to get a grad transfer or a juco kid. Don't need to panic and take a high school player your not totally sold on for 4 yrs... Hoyas have already looked at this kid. Panic??? I do know this kid can play on a high level and run a team. He's a true point guard. This is why you work him out with your players and make your decisions on him. I respect your opinion, but why get a grad transfer or a juco kid when you have point guards right in your own back yard. The DMV and Baltimore is a "hotbed" for hoop talent. Do you live in the DMV or Baltimore? If not, maybe you don't understand this. You have Villanova, Xavier/Louisville, Maryland, Butler, other Big East taking our kids right out of own back yard and beating us every year. The other day, Glide said the above! Hope this pans out, Glide. That would be two Kenner dogs!

Glide was that evidence from what I have been reading. People just didn't believe in him and what he knows perhaps.
