Roscoe would really round out the class nicely. I like the idea of having 3 excellent players (though a notch below superstardom like Monroe) that'll probably hang around for 3 or 4 years. I'm hoping he'll follow suit and announce soon.

Roscoe would give us a class with a talented point, wing and big. Can't ask for much more than that.

We land roscoe and this is a top 10 class near the bottom of the top 10 but top 10. Looks like it's between us and dook. He has previously said nothing will change his mind, so i'm hoping his taking the official visit to duke this weekend just to be wined and dined a bit.

www.highschoolhoop.com/recruiting-news/2009/11/roscoe-smith-still-considering-three/This interview is from last Friday (I guess he visited Duke this last weekend?). In any case, it sounds like he's already made a decision and is just waiting a little while. Positive signs? He's looking for a place where he won't be "bored" on campus -- I'd like to think that gives Georgetown and our more 'urban' campus a leg up over Durham or Storrs (especially combined with some of the positive things he said about Georgetown earlier). We'll see how it goes, I guess... he's really round out the class nicely.

I don't think he's actually visited officially. yet. We'll see. It's hard to know what's going on in recruiting. Pretty much don't trust anything 100% anyone says about anything involved in recruiting.

He seems to know what he is looking for in a school, including academics and the overall college experience, while realizing that the recruiting process is a "business". It would seem that he is the type of kid JTIII has been able to attract in the past. Let's hope.

HS: "So you’re not waiting to get that last official in before making a decision? RS: No, because I’ve seen them all so it really doesn’t matter. I know all of their styles, and I’m just deciding where I can fit in at."
The questioner before asking and getting the above answer, said that he had made official visits to UConn and Georgetown and he said yes. Has he had an official visit to Georgetown? If not, then it seems strange to schedule offical visit to Duke and not one to Georgetown, if Georgetown is still in the mix. Official visits to UConn and Duke, but not Georgetown and he still selects Hoyas?

He's been on campus a zillion times. I don't know if he's had an official, but it is irrelevant.

I think he's been to an official to georgetown. He hasn't gone on an official visit to Duke yet.

I understand he didn't go last weekend, either, so that visit is still pending.

Yes roscoe has been on his offical visit here. I dont know where he is gonna pick....wont venture a guess, but I just dont know how his parents would let him go to Uconn when someone got stabbed and died at the party he went to while he was up there.

Agree, dense. I don't think a murder during a recruiting visit can be good for the chances of landing the recruit. However, GU did have an act of senseless violence directed at a toilet bowl during our midnight madness.

I didn't know Roscoe was at that party. Talk about your worst conceivable karma. Wow.

Now let's just hope he visits a Duke Lacrosse Party while he's visiting there and we're golden.

According to Jerrey Meyers of Rivals Roscoe could be making a decision after this weekend.

According to Jerrey Meyers of Rivals Roscoe could be making a decision after this weekend. There are rumblings that the decision has come or could come today or tomorrow. Usually the commitment comes before Jerry or anyone else in the media finds out, and there may be a lag of a day or two especially if the Smiths want to enjoy their leftovers with friends and family as opposed to with a fan message board.
