not 09-10 news.....but just got a verbal from Kyle Caudill, 4-star center out of California. 6'10" 260. That makes two 4-stars for the 2011 class and both could be 5-star guys by next year.

2010 class is still shaky, but whatever.

[Edited on May 22, 2009 at 10:36 AM. Reason : that other kid isn't a 4star on scout or rivals... what are you referring to?]

5/22/2009 10:36:28 AM

Caudill and the Cholo kid are mos. def. 4 star recruits and could def. be 5 star.

FUCKING HERB STAY OUT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

5/22/2009 10:43:27 AM

whoops. i forgot they didn't re-evaluate PG Josiah Turner

ESPN has him as a top-50 with a 95 rating

they have C Kyle Caudill as a 95 also

5/22/2009 10:48:22 AM

If he's not a 4 * right now he obviously sucks.

the only commit for 2010 so far is Corey Hawkins (son of Hersey)

3-star, 85 ESPN

--------------------------------

starting lineup for 09-10:

PG - Glasser (Sr)
SG - Abbott (Jr)
F - Kuksiks (Jr)

CJ Leslie



flew to Tempe, on his own dime, to chat with Herbie. ASU is on a very, very short list of schools on Leslie's radar

6/16/2009 6:53:14 PM

this was already discussed in the basketball recruiting thread, the funny thing is that you know State would have had ZERO chance to land him if Herb was still our coach.

6/16/2009 7:03:33 PM

^^that plane ticket is only like 400 round trip... I'm sure Dwon was willing to pay up.

6/16/2009 7:14:28 PM

Not this fucking shit again.

6/16/2009 7:34:00 PM

i think it is the Clifton's mission from God to fuck with NC State

i mean, ASU, seriously? besides the pussy, why else would you go?

6/16/2009 7:37:11 PM

^the ass? the tits?

6/16/2009 9:58:15 PM

What does Dwon Clifton have to do with Leslie?

6/16/2009 10:10:22 PM

^Are you a complete n00b?

6/16/2009 11:01:39 PM

I'm curious what you think their relationship is.

6/16/2009 11:17:06 PM

all up in Leslie's shit is what it is.

6/17/2009 12:59:38 AM

hate to side with a UNC guy but I think he's right on this one.. don't think Clifton is really that close to Leslie. it's definitely not like the John Wall situation

6/17/2009 2:03:20 AM

^ Yep. First of all, Dwon isn't even the Clifton who handled Wall's recruitment. That was Brian. Dwon is the brother who got the gig at Baylor. Secondly, Brian Clifton's connection to Wall was through AAU ball, not Word of God. Wall played on Clifton's AAU team D-One Sports. Leslie plays AAU ball for the Carolina Cobras and has nothing more than a casual relationship with Clifton via Wall.

Clifton is pimping Deuce Bello from High Point this year. He's also a D-One kid.

6/17/2009 2:52:05 AM

Yo whaddup dis is Dwon. I got dat shit on LOCK.

6/17/2009 3:00:00 AM

btw there are some stupid ASU posters out there... some claiming that Herb got him to commit then he decomitted when Lowe came in, and saying he went to middle creek...

^^To think that both Cliftons will not at least try to be involved is stupid.

6/17/2009 9:16:57 AM

if I had to guess, I would say Leslie goes to UNC. just based off some of his comments in Scout interviews, he's obviously pretty interested in them... which I thought was weird at first, because I've heard over and over again that he has a pretty big attitude problem on the court (doesn't seem like a guy Roy would recruit)

i'm not saying you're wrong about clifton, but leslie has played for d-one.

6/17/2009 3:27:10 PM

^ You're right. I didn't think he'd played with D-One for awhile but apparently he suited up for two games during the Boo Williams Invitational back in April.

6/17/2009 4:12:52 PM

I haven't followed Leslie much because he committed so early on, but I thought that him playing with D-One was just a rumor that was circulated to try and explain why he decommitted.

I'm probably wrong though, but I remember speculation that he was going to play on that AAU squad only in some tourney

I used to follow recruiting hard for several years and got paid for it a couple of years. I just can't keep up with it anymore, it's too crazy.

6/17/2009 4:27:37 PM

I'm glad I don't keep up with this shit like I did in college. I see it as a MONUMENTAL waste of time.

I don't really care about the "recruit X is leaning towards UNC" nonsense, but I keep track of the prospects we offer and I like to get the email when someone commits and look at their profile...it's kind of a waste of time but then again I have PLENTY of time to waste at work.

6/17/2009 4:43:50 PM

leslie was involved with d-one in previous years much more than this year

6/17/2009 4:57:33 PM

6/26/2009 10:21:22 AM

Good to see Jeff got out of Sacramento and on to a quality organization. Harden will be the best player of this class.

6/26/2009 10:40:41 AM

i hope this will make other blue-chippers realize that it's OK to play for Herb

you don't have to run and gun or even make it deep in the NCAAs....

6/26/2009 10:46:52 AM

uh oh

Josiah Turner rescinded his verbal

uh oh

7/17/2009 1:05:32 PM

man i know how that feels, you have my condolences.

HAH, hopefully he'll decide UofA is the place for him...hey ncstatetke I assume you're aware of the monster first class Sean Miller pulled in over at UofA right? Pretty fucking impressive considering he's only been there since April, no? Maybe the streak of tourney appearances will continue after all.

it amazes me how, 3 years after the fact, these threads continue.

9/5/2009 12:21:57 PM

why's that?

9/5/2009 1:01:56 PM

Actually, it pains me more to see people still having the Herb argument.

He was a good coach who wasn't as good as Roy Williams. People act like this is a problem. People need to get the fuck over it.

The easiest way to do that? Stop talking about it. These threads don't help.

9/9/2009 1:52:03 PM

Pendergraph update**********


The stud big man just had hip surgery yesterday, but the Blazers love him so much, they signed him the day before his surgery. They know he'll be a great role player in the future, so they took the gamble.

His status for the upcoming season is unknown, but he hopes to make a full recovery and get some PT this year

9/9/2009 2:00:33 PM

He'll be out of the league in two years. No Herb players last. Positionless offensive players and daytight compartments don't work in the Association.
