Basketball recruiting

[Mike Damone]

We've only got two committs. I'm sure we have four or five for the year. The Lith. dude wants to play for their national team, and Donnie Nelson just happens to be the coach of that team. That helped us land him, per Rivals.

SMU does have just 2 scholarships to give, theoretically........ and now they have 2 commitments, Ritter and Killen. So, to sign someone else, another player would have to quit/transfer/leave/be run off/get a medical release from their scholarship, etc...........

Some of the players SMU is looking at havent quite met NCAA eligibility requirements, yet. So, they may be planning on picking up someone else in the late signing period.........

Of course, all of this is merely speculation and intended for entertainment purposes only. CPC categorically denies any and all rumors and does not acccept responsibility for anything, what so ever.

:hmm: :showoff: :unsure:

Sorry, CPC gets a kick out of the Gremlins. :whistling:

the new recruit plays at Tulsa Holland Hall which will be a big step up to SMU. Holland Hall is or at least used to be in the Southwestern Prepatory Conference with small private schools like St. Mark's, OKC Cassidy, Greenhill, Houston St. John's, Houston Kincaid, FW Country Day, Cistercian, and Ft Worth Trinity Christian.

CPC, does this mean we are out on Roberts?

No, not unless something drastic has happened in the last few hours that CPC doesnt know about.

CPC was trying to be subtle before, but lets briefly recap: Some of the recruits SMU is looking at havent made NCAAA minimums yet, besides the JC kids. Roberts took the SAT last month, but doesnt have his score yet. Yesterdays Rivals article says Ritter hasnt passed the NCAA clearinghouse, either. There is a strong possibility that another scholarship will miraculously become available in the spring. Work all that out.

CPC read in another thread that you were going to be at practice this afternoon, so he will try to fly by. If scheduling permits CPC will be available to discuss all such issues and sign autographs for his many loyal fans.

:p :smart:

Can someone please tell me when basketball signing day is. If I remember correctly, it is sometime next month.

I like our starting five this year. What concerns me (as usual) is our bench. Any thoughts? :devil:

Who is Texas State (see link in previous post)?

[The PonyGrad]

Didn't they used to Southwest Texas State or some such directional school?

[PK]

Yes.

What kind of a player is Ritter? Is this a guy with some serious potential? At 6'7, I assume he will play the small forward spot. Like most of the Euros, I assume it will take him a little longer to get acclimated than normal. Thats okay though, I think with Devon Pearson we are gonna have a pretty strong small forward ahead of Ritter by a year.
