Agree to an extent Captain, he's a nice talent with solid size - however, I'm not a fan of bouncing around at the drop of a hat, or anytime a situation doesn't go exactly your way And quite frankly if he's so interested in giving himself the best chance to excel and grow I have a hard time seeing Ha...

Stu lets be careful not to overuse the 'out recruited' stuff... Because saying that here is an exaggeration - I don't believe HU was all that hot to trot over AO - extremely raw - potential yes, but major project - yes, losing JL was a big win for MC, but not this one - don't think either are better...

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. All on the same page then. Look, my interest at this point is HU - the CAA is actually very well positioned and proportioned for HU to stake claim in several areas - only took over 10 yrs for that to happen but it's finally ripe for HU's taking ! lol let's keep it that...

I understand the feeling of 'losing' another to MC so soon after JL, I dislike that to say the least... HOWEVER, I don't see this as that at all - I see a kid who has a very tough decision to make - I would bet the pull to HU is strong considering all the pluses, but if I had to look at the other si...

and that requires 2 key things: Recruiting and Coaching - quite obvious I know, but 2 things HU has been lacking on IMO under the current staff - to me HU admin should already be very on top of ensuring the ship gets 'righted', but I would say if they don't make the tourney again this yr some change...

anyone see anything first hand yet???

talent and size wise, yes, he's the kind of guy you go for as a mid however, to offer some balance here, he's also a kid that is developing a 'bounce-around' resume - I'm not a fan of guys who go from one program to the next at the drop of a hat - there are situations, but it's a bit of a red flag t...

Agree the potential is there for at-large, but it's a loooong shot - not something I'd want to bank on - ONLY if HU puts out during OOC and beats the high major conf teams - if not, doubtful - CAA is nowhere even close to at-large consideration without some very high-profile OOC wins... Stu, where e...

Noticed those predictions at least a week back, been following as closely as a fan can - interesting, since the news of SHU bowing out is recent, makes me wonder what MC staff did or said - however, that doesn't mean it's a lock as he's still deciding I think it's important for HU to land a talented...

thanks HP1 for replying I do agree there, last yr was a step in the right direction, I'm not taking that away from them - I think it's just that it was WAAAAAAAAY overdue, so the excitement of it for me was more like "its about damn time", then "whoohoo this is so awesome" and ne...

Stu, your points have NOTHING to do with my mine - you need to remember where HU is right now, and understand I'm coming from a stance of what's best for HU - I'm done with what's best for the CAA, it's time to focus on putting HU in the best position to WIN: - football is meaningless to HU at this ...

...crickets... no one has come to defend them after my post??? I'm no guru, so figured there might be some LAX dudes out there to help comfort me... Hm, guess I nailed it (unfortunately). I think all agree: the choking has to stop. It's time to come through and meet expectations - or at the very lea...

Good stuff!! Awesome look from Rothstein the anticipation is getting thick fellas, ready for the resurgence!! Also, I just want to note, his point about the conference being open and winnable is EXACTLY why I have no desire to see the CAA expand at this point - NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. Adding SBU or Alban...

REEEAAALLLYYY want to see HU land either Buie or Carter - both are major players, game-changers that can provide future leadership foundation at the point

does anyone know when and how Buie's official to HU went??

Here's how I see program progress and it's impact to recruiting TOP players (i.e. 3 stars on a regular basis, and even 1-2 4 star guys each yr): 1) Make it back to the tourney, and HU is a serious option 2) Pull an upset and win a game or even 2, HU is a top option 3) Go Cinderella and make it deep ...

I was kind of waiting to see if this is going to be our forum for the long run lol

Does look that way...

Whoa baby, H U G E visit folks :shock: :!: :!: Watching this young man and Desure Buie closely - VERY important for HU to land a top PG to partner with J W-F, should be an absolute PRIORITY (I'm sure it is), and they both fit the bill - TC is a big time player, potential to be a STAR/1st teamer/star...

loved hearing JM praise how Tanksley, Gonzalez, and Gustys looked - excited to see them in action

and wow does that practice facility look fantastic - HU really did a tremendous job, kudos to all who put that together - looks first class all the way to me

Wow, now a pub picking them for the tourney... def love seeing all the positive after yrs of turmoil, BUT let's at least get them on the court first! lol man, so much for sneaking up on people!! :D (p.s. I agree and see this as a very real possibility - I don't care how good or bad the conf is this ...

God bless you guys on you're excitement for HU lax - just can't get into it - so sick of being roped into ST's yearly choke jobs Was very happy to see them FINALLY put together a strong season last yr (WAY overdue), only to see once again completely blow the opportunity to so something when it count...
