Update for the Recruiting List... Will Paul commits to Stanford - had some nice things to say about gtown though... story.scout.com/a.z?s=378&p=2&c=395115"It is impressive - all the people they have who have gone on to the NBA. Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Allen Iverson. Andrew Bogut, who went #1 in the draft, was there all spring training," the recruit recalls. "We went to the MCI Center and saw the campus. They showed us a great time, and it worked. It was a great experience." "It was nice," Paul says of Georgetown. "But I had been to Stanford, and Stanford was nicer." I wonder what was nicer? Facilities? Campus? Night life? California girls? |

Definitely facilities...and the weather. Stanford girls aren't that great, but sun does wonders for everyone.

You can't say that. A lot ties into what a player chooses to go to school. We aren't mind readers. Maybe it was playing time, did you ever think of that? Its all about fit. I guess he felt Stanford better fitted him. Its not our loss. For those who don't know, this is what happens in recruiting. People choose other schools we recruit. Just like people choose schools over schools that have state-of-the-art facitlities, girls, and nice weather.

The fact that we weren't ever going to offer him a scholarship probably helped.

The_way might be the most high strung poster of all time. I say we create a separate designation for the_way.

I wonder what was nicer? Facilities? Campus? Night life? California girls? The campus and facilities at Stanford are incredble. Arguably the nicest in the nation. But as far as night life and girls? Night life is non-existent in the quiet little town of Palo Alto, and as far as girls, there is a joke out here on the West Coast that goes: 9 of 10 California girls are hot. The 10th goes to Stanford. |

Stanford is unparalleled in it's beauty and campus atmosphere...but I agree with the female assessment. They often make Duke look like USC.

You are right about the women - I'm convinced that The Swan recruits on-campus at Stanford. However, the entire campus looks like a Taco Bell so I can't call it beautiful. |
