Thon Maker Reclassifying to 2015

Postby BleedSMUPride » Wed Feb 18, 2015 11:55 pm

I saw that Kentucky, Kansas, and Duke are the favorites, but any chance we make a push at trying to get him? Saw we have offered him on ESPN.

Last I heard, Thon Maker may be heading overseas similar to what Mudiay did. Still think that's the wrong move to make but what the heck.

Wonder if Rasheed Sulaimon is still considering transferring schools? He was good back in his Strake Jesuit days. Just need to find a better fit and playing time. I think SMU is going to be looking to recruit for the 2016 class and I hope they can lock up Marques Bolden, Terrance Ferguson and De'Aaron Fox. That would be an amazing coup for this program. We'll see how that goes. Making some noise in the tourney should help!

Doubt we get any of those guys.

I would still like us to get a true Center for next year. We still lack depth in the big man area for next year, especially if Markus leaves. Maybe the answer is to go into the Juco ranks and get a guy from there and hope he pans out like Yanick has.

Yanick was the #1 juco player in America and was a coup. There is nothing like that left in the Juco ranks right now.

We aren't pulling jack from Texas if we run the bus over Ulric and back up on his career. Locals already complaining over him being scapegoat

Is he being a scapegoat or is that just public perspective?

Not good. If he is found to have been in violation then we have no choice...

When a local aau guy told me there was grumblings about Ulric's treatment, I pretty much responded who gives and eff. It's not like we recruit DFW anyway.

Wasn't Mudiay a DFW product?

He was and how did that turn out? Same w Frazier, massive disappointment and the reason for any sanctions.

I bet we do end up pulling jack from Dallas anyway. I hear that we're the talk of the barbershop good and bad these days.
