I'm sure this guy is just piggybacking off the NBE report. Seems like a murky situation, but I feel better about it than I did yesterday. With the way the kid is rocketing up the rankings, not a surprise that other coaches might be meddling.

Nate doesn't seem to be the decommitting type. I hope I'm right.

Wasn't Michigan one of Nate's other suitors? I think that's part of this. Go down to Damon's Grill today.

the people over at michigan are talking as if this is a done deal....where there's smoke there's fire. Unless lubick comes out and refutes the report, and not on some flimsy twitter, I don't know what to believe. There's more evidence of him backing out, than of him staying committed.

the latest on nbe has a quote from lubick saying that he is committed to georgetown and is not considering re-opening his options it also includes parts of the last 2 updates which include another assistant coach saying he is going to duke w3.nbebasketball.com/

what the hell does that even mean?? That article is just horribly written and what is he trying to say? That he says he's still commited and not re opening but insinuating that eventually he's decommiting??
what kind of quote is that from the coach??
"NE Playaz head coach John Carroll stated, “Right now Nate is committed to Georgetown. What he does in the future is up to Nate. If you know what I’m saying. Is that a fair way to say it?”"
This is just getting weird. as an aside....no way in hell he would ever end up at duke with so many PF's
but seriously what the hell is going on??...

I'm not really sure what is going on. It seems to me that the people at NBE continue to include comments from their previous articles about Lubick de-committing to show that they didn't just pull this out of thin air.
Either way, I'm glad JT3 is at least up there watching him play right now.

Seriously, what a joke. Is that site written by 3rd graders?
Love this line, written after one of the toddlers actually asked Lubick if he was decommitting and he said "No":
"However, that speculation can seemingly be put to rest after talking with Lubick today at the BasketBull First Eight event."
I know we're in the Internet age and anyone can say anthing, but "speculation" and "seemingly" really have no place in what is purporting to be a news report. Look, maybe something's going on, and there are rumblings afoot. But when you go directly to the source and he gives you a direct answer, THERE IS NO "SEEMINGLY" ABOUT IT. In fact, there's really no story at all.
Done.

I see a lot of grey area in that article. For example, did he shake his head up and down or was it more side to side? Most importantly, was he smiling at the time? Perhaps this falls into the "wink is as good as a nod" category, and if so we probably don't want the guy.
NBE may not be Zag's Blog, but it certainly isn't a legitimate news source, so I just figure some jackoff with a blackberry posted something above his paygrade and is trying to cover his tail. Wouldn't be the first time.

Wow this story gets weirder and weirder. And I don't mean from Lubick, but just the weirdness surrounding this entire story. You have a rumor created by a source "close to the situation," you have an unaffiliated assistant stating factually that he's going to Duke (I'm sure that would work real well with Singler, the Plumlees, Hairston, et al.), and a blog picking up on this and running it.
Meanwhile you have the actual player saying it's not an issue. You have the AAU coach who says basically there's no issue right now. Just strange to me.

One of the beauties of the internet is that pretty much anyone can throw any crap they can think of out there and have it taken seriously.
The NBE blog over the past two days is a great example of why we try to limit rumor posts here.

Nate tweaked his ankle the other day, so that explains his lack of time.
