Don't know if we were ever a leader, but looks like we're falling off a bit for Ed Davis. Of course, getting Simms would take care of that nicely.

GU was his leader at one point, mainly due to his relationship with CW, but I never got the sense last summer that GU was checking for him hard. I felt they liked him, but not in love. Of course he was very raw last summer and has progressed, as I mentioned. Just an observation. Simms, Joseph and/or Samardo would be nice.

I'm not sure we are really in his top 3 - in another recent article, we weren't mentioned. I think those are just three schools among those atop his list.

georgetown,unc,florida,uconn and that's pretty much it", mentioned samuels in reference to his current list of potential suitors.when asked whether or not he felt his game would mesh with the style of play at georgetown he mentioned,"I think I can play the role of Jeff Green"."i'm going to make a decision soon". stated Samuels

You watch Jeff Green play and you want to be him. You want to be a smart, athletic, do everything point forward for the Hoyas. In that way, Jeff is the new Ewing. Just like Ewing begat big man U in JT's system, Jeff has already helped land us Dajuan Summers and other players will follow because they get a chance "to be Jeff Green" in JTIII's. Thank you, Jeff. |

Well, as danielrog mentioned, looks like he has cut down on his list. He's the best guy left that we are after, so I hope it works out.

If I were a betting man, I'd say he opts for Florida -- hifi notwithstanding....

As I have stated several times over the past few months, we are DEFINITELY on Samardo's short list. The biggest negative we have RIGHT NOW is that Coach Broadus has a terrific relationship with him. I am NOT saying that the remaining staff can't pull him in, but I do know for sure that Kevin was working him hard. Both Kevin & Coach were at Bishop Ireton in December to watch Samardo play against Progressive Christian in a holiday tournament.

agreed vegasrain, Broadus was the link to Samardo and now that's he's gone it'll be hard to reel him in. He's been a UNC lean forever from what I've heard.

The folks on the Inside Carolina free board are in meltdown over a rumor that Delvin Roe has spurned Roy Williams and will commit to MSU. Lots of posters believe this hurts them with Samuels, since Roe and Samuels apparently are tight.
Anyone who follows recruiting much more closely than me have any insight on this?

Not to simply post complete hearsay, but according to a friend of mine from MSU, a poster from SpartanMag.com claims that, while it might not be a done deal yet, his source claims that Roe has really warmed to MSU, that they are the clear leaders, and that barring anything unforeseen, he'll likely head there.

Roe is close friends with Raymar Morgan so certainly that doesn't hurt. Plus Roe's parents supposedly want him closer to home. I don't think Roe can go wrong with either choice. I really believe that MSU is gearing up for another 2-3 year run as title contenders. They have everybody back plus add top 50 players Chris Allen, Durrell Summers and Kalin Lucas as well as redshirt top 50 Tom Herzog. If they add Roe to go along with Korie Lucious then all i can say is a Dick Enberg "Oh My!"

The impression I got from the stuff I've read is that Roe signing with UNC probably helps us, since UNC won't want Samuels, who is a similar player. |

MSU is gearing up for another title run, but they pretty much return Raymar Morgan. The other top player they had is Drew Neitzel and he was a senior. Neitzel was more important to that team than Boeheim thinks Gerry Mac was.

Wow. He's been around a while. You're right, they will be very good next year if the Frosh are as advertised.

They don't have a single senior on the entire roster this year. They're going to be very good next year.

agreed. Summers and Lucas can ball. They play for the Michigan Hurricanes in the summer. I personally thought the best player on their AAU sqaud was Corrperyale Harris, who signed with Michigan.
