Granted D.C. is not exactly So. Cal or Miami Beach, but I am still baffled why anyone would voluntarily go TO Oregon. That is a place people move FROM.

Seriously. Oregon is GORgeous, fun, and has an incredibly high standard of living. If someone said I had to choose between Oregon, Florida, a non-coastal Southern state, or pretty much anwhere in the Central Time Zone (sorry DFW), it would be Oregon without a second thought.

Chicago over Oregon. Other than that, Coast2Coast is right. The Pacific Northwest is stunning.

Why would someone want to live in florida? Full of old people and rednecks, Too hot too humid, rains pretty much everyday ( albeit ususually for like 30 minutes).

Um, you do realize hifi might actually come if you invite him? Maybe you can take him to a Portland-Seattle game and let Jeff Green show him how a true program turns out NBA-ready players.

I'll admit my evaluation of Florida is somewhat skewed by the small sample size, but from what I can tell it has ungodly humidity, frequent hurricanes, tourists and old people in the south (seriously, even older than FLHoya), backwater types in the north and central, and hifi all over the rest. Ugh.
Meanwhile, the Northwest has none of those things, except for the backwater types. I'm not saying it's the world's greatest place, but Oregon has its parts. However, why someone would want to go and live in Eugene is beyond me. The Lane County Filbert Festival is not all it's cracked up to be.

Plus they have these things in Florida which they euphemistically call "palmetto bugs". They're giant flying cockroaches, is what they are. Eugene is definitely a great place if you don't need a big city ambiance. One of the more liveable small towns n America. For me, a great place to visit, but I get bored after a week. Most small towns, I get bored quicker.

Telep is great at what he does--but ID Hoya and 2 people I know were there--III made his games. Telep mentioning Purdue and Illinois is comical especially if you know what Mrs. Dunigan thought of both schools in the recruitment--especially Illinois. I am not about to doubt 3 people--who by the way do NOT know each other--if they all said the same thing--why would this be untrue? As for the "lack of acknowleding an offer"--well Scout lists Greg Monroe in database as not having an offer from Georgetown and III was at all of his games as well. I don't bank on everything the networks say in regards to Hoya recruiting--they do a great job, but I'll trust ID Hoya and where he gets his info over any recruiting network. I don't get your point on the J'Mison Morgan stuff. The link you put up is from JUNE--and you keep talking like it's a possiblity--it's not. Nobody knows for certain what/why this happened, but it did. Skin, you are an enthusiastic poster but your take on recruiting is somewhat puzzling. It's like you are taking a stance against certain guys because you would really like to see certain other players end up Hoyas. That is fine--but you debate facts that people who have posted info here--and factual, correct, and inside info--share. If Dunigan wasn't a priority or under consideration--III wouldn't have wasted any time tracking him at the Peach Jam. You ended up correct in that Dunigan didn't end up a Hoya. Kudos. If IDHoya would like to address this, fine--he was there for the entire tournament and tracking Hoya recruits. Maybe he didn't recognize III at the games. You're correct, RDF, Telep may be wrong (as he often has been), and ID may correct. I just don't know who's right and who's wrong. I was just saying the alleged facts are in conflict, and it wouldn't surprise me if III was at Dunigan's game just merely because he was already there for Monroe and wanted to watch. Who knows? Only III knows for sure. Maybe ID should have gone up to ask III? ;D Similarly, I don't know for certain about Morgan, and you may be right that he may no longer be interested. We'll see. I do know he still seems way open, because Georgetown, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, USC, and UCLA have all been on and off and then back on the list. Only Kansas seems to be there all the time. RDF, I don't know why you would claim I am taking a stance against certain guys because I would really like to see certain other players end up Hoyas. I have no hidden agenda. I've only reported what I read. How could what I report possibly benefit any player, or even me for that matter? On the other hand, perhaps you're taking this Dunigan thing too personally? RDF, Seems like I was correct about J'Mison Morgan after all. He still lists us and apparently IS still interested in the Hoyas!!!! In fact, it seems we are at the front of his list. (He and Monroe must be talking!) According to a Scout article posted today, and written by Evan Daniels: J’Mison Morgan mentioned Georgetown, Alabama, UCLA, Baylor, LSU, Kansas and Texas. He claims scholarship offers from each. georgetown.scout.com/a.z?s=433&p=2&c=660660

I would think Ed to UNC takes them out of the Monroe sweepstakes.

Evan is a KY dude, so be careful with his info. Seems like the KY dude is NOT the only one claiming Morgan is still interested. A couple of weeks ago, a Kansas article claimed Morgan still lists us, stating as follows: “J’Mison Morgan, 6-10, South Oak Cliff High, Dallas: Morgan, who attended the same high school as Darrell Arthur, is the country’s No. 39-rated player. He still has a long list of schools including KU, Alabama, Arizona, Georgetown, Baylor, UCLA, Louisville, Kentucky, Florida and UNLV.” www2.kusports.com/news/2007/jul/06/kansas_recruiting_heats/

ID, Also, a Big East blog of a couple of weeks ago has us listed, stating as follows: “J’Mison Morgan, 6-10, South Oak Cliff High, Dallas: KU, Alabama, Arizona, Georgetown, Baylor, UCLA, Louisville, Kentucky, Florida and UNLV.” bigeastbasketball.blogspot.com/2007/07/big-east-news-notes-762007.html

Evan is a KY dude, so be careful with his info. And last week another Kansas article confirmed Morgan’s interest, quoting Morgan as follows: “• KU confirmation: Morgan said his favorites include KU, Georgetown, Alabama, Baylor and Texas. He hopes to sign in November. KU assistant coach Kurtis Townsend attended the championship game Sunday, as did assistants from Alabama and Baylor.” www2.ljworld.com/news/2007/jul/16/chicago_prep_prevails/Apparently, last week we were listed as number 2. Of course, the KU person probably switched places with us! ;D

And there's a two-week old article on Yahoo Sports where Morgan himself states he is still interested in us. According to Tim Watts, BamaOnLine.com Recruiting Editor: “With offers from over two dozen programs including Arizona, Kansas, Georgia Tech, UCLA and Georgetown among others, Morgan has plenty of offers to choose from and isn't in a rush to making his decision. I'm still considering Alabama, Arizona, Georgetown, Baylor, UCLA, Louisville, Kentucky, Florida and UNLV. All have offered but Kentucky. They are all the same at this point and I don't plan to cut my list down until after July," Morgan said. "After I narrow down my list, I'm going to take some official visits and then commit. I haven't set a date on it, but I want to make sure I'm making the right decision." sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=rivals-139074&prov=rivals&type=story_recruiting

Glad to hear it if he's still listing us--he had numerous updates during Camp week where he didn't. As many big men as we can get--the better our chances are if we get a lot to seriously consider us.

Totally! I'm with you. And I’ll repeat what I said a week ago: “We need one of our 08 scholarships to go for a center, and I think it’s being earmarked as such (or may be held for 09), and I think the other is being held for Monroe. Bottom Line: I think we’re getting Greg Monroe, and going after either J’Mison “BoBo” Morgan or Jakub (or John Riek Suas if he reclassifies to 08). Like I said before, 6’8” or 6’9” doesn’t cut it for a center in the big east. My bet is we land Monroe and Morgan!” RDF, the only change I would make to the above is that, if John Riek Suas reclassifies to 07, we land him too!!!
