Bye-bye, Roscoe. If he wanted to be a Hoya, he'd have committed by now and he wouldn't be looking to go the basketball factory route. If he wanted to be a Hoya, he'd stay nearby and get on campus all the time to be with his future teammates.
I really hope JT III does not invest too much more time in this guy. Seems like Jelan Kendrick should be the priority at the position for 2010.

He was already at Hargrave when he committed. hoyanews.blogspot.com/2005/08/august-25-wt-coveted-macklin-commits.html

Remember a few months ago when we were wondering whether he and Barton got along well enough to play on the same college team? Well, looks like that's Kentucky's problem now.

Roscoe has been looking at other schools for two years. It about playing on a team that has other bigmen so he can play SF more than just being on the block where he has been most of the past two seasons at Walbrook. He is already a top ranked "national" player, and will be a Mcd AA. So it does not matter where he plays. Hargrave would actually be a great place for Roscoe. He would certainly have his grades in order, and can focus on improving his game. Oakhill is a fake eduaction and Roscoe has worked to hard to go down that road now. Finnley Prep is not even a real school so I am not sure how that thing even works.

I don't really get the whole: "there's no way he's going to be a hoya" yes we've been on him awhile but to be honest it seems like he is taking his time and looking at all variables before committing ANYWHERE. I think that's smart....obviously you can't go wrong with us but it's a big decision and something that should be an informed decision for HIM. I really don't think that we can read into anything...I hope to hell we get him. I've said it for awhile, but my ideal remaining '10 class is Jelan and Roscoe but I would definitely settle for one of the two

I don't know where this kid is going but some of you always lose hope at a drop of a hat.

I'll admit, I'm pretty pessimistic when it comes to our chances with anyone that we are high on. Maybe it's me lowering my expectations in case we fail, knowing that I'll still be really excited when we get the guys we want.
I'm just worried with respect to him because it seems like we were always second choice to UNC. That's no big deal, it will happen a lot, and when UNC cooled on him, everyone made it sound like we're in a good position. But if Kentucky is now coming on now, I don't think that's a good sign for us. I don't think we will get many players that are attracted by Kentucky, and I mean this with no disrespect to Roscoe Smith as I don't know him at all, but it just seems like the players that want to go to Kentucky are players that we're probably not going to get. Now with Calipari, it's hard for us to compete with their pre$tige.

If he wanted to be a Hoya, he'd have committed by now I'm growing more than a little tired of this logic. It makes no sense whatsoever. There are countless reasons why a kid might wait to commit to a school, even if he likes that school a lot. And are we really going to disown the kid if we happen to be his second choice? Besides, why would you apply this logic to Georgetown and not any other school? By this logic, it would seem that, because he hasn't committed to any school, he clearly doesn't want to play college ball at all.

There's a lot of over-reaction to one comment out there. [Sam the Eagle]You are all weird.[/Sam the Eagle]
For example, the word out there is that Barton is done to UK. He made an offhand comment about thinking it would be fun to play with Roscoe, and some guy on HR immediately said we might as well give up on him. Really?
The same thing happened with Duke fans and Greg Monroe. One time the guy mentioned rooting for Duke and it became gospel as his only thought.
Just let the guy decide. Roscoe and family seem to be handling his recruiting very sensibly. Some of the commentary on here is fairly ridiculous.

Roscoe is playing for the B-more Stars this weekend. He scored 28pts last night and was showing an improved jump-shot, with nice drives to the basket. He played hard on the boards as always. He had a game this afternoon which is to late for anyone to see, but he plays tonight:
Saturday: 6:00 p.m. RAVENSCROFT HIGH SCHOOL - COURT #16Mid State Magic vs. Baltimore Stars

Down to #23 in latest ESPN rankings. By comparison, Will Barton is #12, Terrence Jones is #15 and Jelan Kendrick is #29.

Not sure of Roscoe's full summer schedule. If he plays AAU it will be for the B-more Stars, so that is the Nike circuit of Peach Jam and Vegas Main Event. These are the individual camps he should be at:
June 17-21: NBPA Top 100 Camp, Virginia
June 23-26: Orlando, FL Vince Carter Skills Academy
July 5-7: Akron, OH LeBron Skills Academy

What happened to Nike Baltimore elite. He looked good with them. Him, Selby and Barton was tough to beat.
