Swift cuts list to UConn, UMass, Baylor, St Johns, and SMU

[SMU 86]

Yes, I said UConn, UMass, Baylor, St Johns, and SMU. Looks like we are in it with the big boys again. The SMU staff is doing their thing again.

This would be a VERY nice get

Rivals has him committed to Xavier. Weird

He decommitted from Xavier, but rumor was they moved on from him. I'm not here to talk poorly about the kid, but that's his list and probably doesn't represent the individual schools interest level. In short, not sure many of those schools have commitable offers out to him

How did he do in the game against Prime Prep?

Think someone said he had 14 points

Hoopmanx- who do you see as our most realistic targets going forward? Are Myles Turner and Bolden longshots or do we still have a legit shot there?

I have the same question. Are our two biggest needs/goals a Big and a Shooter and/or just next best?

The longer Turner goes without committing is great for us.

Get him to Moody Jan 4 still uncommitted and I like our chances

Guess Trinity Valley's WDNWHA committee outworked SMU's WDNWHA committee for Melvin

[mrydel]

We made our decision and informed the young man that WDNWHA in November. As I have said before we never announce our decision before the athlete announces his decision. So now officially WDNWHA.
