I was told there are 25 guys scheduled to be there right now, which is pretty impressive.

Why are Boers and Bernstein on the air right now talking about Weber going the underhanded route to get recruits? I only caught the tail end of the conversation, but they were definitely indicating that Weber stole a recruit from under someone else.

hmm. maybe bertrand from siu? there never was a commitment, but i know he liked siu.

 

or they could be referencing larry butler. butler is a prominent aau coach and he was jerrance howard's coach. butler has been at odds with illinois but took a much more gracious tone when howard was hired. i do know that d.j. richardson just switched to butler's aau program.

None of Paul, DJ, or Bertrand were committed anywhere.

I forgot about Jereme Richmond. I'll be seeing a lot of him this year as well.

or, it could be that b and b are just practicing their normal ssa-hattery.

Some of you missed the point. B and B despise Weber to no end. I'm sure whatever they said was completely baseless and made up.

If they think that Weber stole a recruit from under anybody in regards to the 3 verbals yesterday, they are simply lying. The Bertrand stuff, as I said when the SIU people here were claiming he verballed to them, was lies from the start. The only possible thing I could think of is they are basically saying Bruce hired Jerrance in order to clinch getting D.J. Richardson, which is not accurate. Yes hiring Howard did clinch D.J., and yes getting D.J. was the biggest reason why Bertrand gave an early verbal as well, but that isn't why they hired Howard and even if it was, that is nowhere near dirty, especially by the standards NCAA coaches set.

A couple of videos have hit youtube of Maroon Madness.

 

 

 

 

Looks like Greg Monroe picked Georgetown on his visit today. Coach K's back is starting to act up again I'm betting.

I have been looking for the video of Nick Evans dancing to Soulja Boy that made the ESPN top ten, but i havent been able to find it on Youtube yet

Put it in the college basketball thread, GOSH. ;)

Marquette got a commit from a 2009 recruit last night, Erik Williams? Anybody know anything about him?

Shumpert is going to decide this week, as Fathom already mentioned. I saw it mentioned in the Journal Sentinel. I hope the Dwyane Wade appearance and "Iman" signs at Marquette Madness were enough of a pitch to convince him that MU is the place.

Simpson to Illinois

simeon's stan simpson chooses illinois

 

good to add another cpl kid to the program.

For those keeping score, Weber has now had 3 former CPL players commit to Illinois, which I believe is more than the last 2 UI coaches combined.

 

 

Weber making a HUUUUUGE comeback on the recruiting trail. Nice job buddy.

Dominic Cheek sounds like he was awfully close to commiting to Carolina at his visit this weekend. Hopefully he will do so in the next couple of weeks.

 

Zeller still seems to be a tossup to me between the Heels, Indiana, and Purdue, but we should know within a couple of weeks. He says that the latest misstep by Sampson will have no bearing on his decision.

I would also be shocked if Shumpert comes to UNC now. With Cheek being the priority and being so close to committing for 09 it seems like Shumpert is on the back burner for Roy. He also got some bad vibes around Chapel Hill from the whole pick-up game story which was much to do about nothing Shumpert also has said he wants to be a point guard in college and he won't get as many oppurtunities for this at UNC. I expect him to go to Marquette where he will have a free run at running the point.
