There is a potential basketball signee on campus today for this year's class (2010). I haven't heard who it is, but that he is a big man. Any word from you guys?
Rumor of the day...
- Thread starter msudogsrule01
- Start date
we were recruiting a power forward named Luke Cothron. He had committed to NC State back then, but I believe he opened it back up this spring. Have no inside info at all, but that would be a wild guess I would throw out.
Huge get for Barbee because he is from Huntsville, where Auburn had struck out for the last 10 years.
If I had to guess, which this totally is, then it is either a big man we never heard of a'la Lewis, or it is that 6-11 guy from UTEP. But I haven't heard word yet from my peeps as to who this is.
Skimming down the list of top Centers and PFs - he's the only 3 star or above big man from the Southeast not currently committed. He's been visiting and has been offered by most SEC schools.
My guess would be him. The departure of Osby and virtually guaranteed PT may have opened his mind up to us.
Here's his rivals profile: Link

He dropped UK off(which is great, since they will have to play 4G1F ball next season).
He is still considering UGA, GTech, Bama, and Texas came into the mix too.

I'd rather save the open spot for 2011 and a (hopefully) highly regarded prospect. I think Thornton is the only potential immediate impact guy left that could be considered even a remote possibility for us landing in the 2010 class. If it isn't him, and it's a 2010 recruit, it's likely a project guy - which would suck.
Would a transfer sitting out the 2010 season count as a 2010 commitment? If so, I guess that could be a possibility.
The UTEP guy situation, whoever it is, doesn't seem to pass the smell test. Why would a guy that's played 2 years at a school, who is allegedly already a borderline draft pick this year (not my words, just recalling the OP on this topic), want to transfer to another school and sit a year in the process? Doesn't make sense to me. Don't get me wrong, if the guy is a stud and wants to play here, let's find a way to get him here. But on the surface, that entire scenario sounds a little weird...

were both counted as such. They were counted towards the class the year they transferred. I wanna say Ben was counted as such for ND as well.

Moultrie.
He wants out of UTEP, from what ive read, because of the coaching change there. And while he did declare for the draft this season, he isnt anywhere near a lock for being drafted or getting a contract. He was projected higher than Bost, sure, but still not solid enough.
I really just figured he would end up at Memphis. He is from there, has a relationship with the staff, and though he wasnt released to go there, he would get in state tuition and a boatload of legal $$ to offset his having to pay for college.
Who knows though. If we were to get him, then DAMN that would be great. He has legit size, is athletic, and is a more than capable role player in the post.

NBA mock draft.net also has Moultrie as the number 22 pick in next year's draft.
In next years mock draft at 22? That would be a new one for Stans to add to his repertoire, land a transfer, let him set in street clothes for a year, never suit up in the maroon and white and become a lottery pick. (And yes, I know at 22, he is not a lottery pick.)
