Positive Tweet From Stud Freshman to Stud Recruit

John walkers team lost in the Texas State championship game last night. I just saw Mike Lewis II tweeted at him at midnight yesterday an encouraging text accompanied by a comment that should give us all real optimism about our guys sticking around.

No offense to El Duque obviously, but if he knows that Ferry is gone Mike Lewis had to know at the time he sent this tweet, as Harper has surely started his recruiting efforts to get the freshman and recruits to stay.

I actually tweeted at him a couple days ago and included a comment about being excited about him coming up next year and he retweeted it on his own twitter page. Another encouraging sign.

Nice move to tweet encouragement & optimism on his page.   It re-enforces the loyalty of the brand and that DU fans are excited about his arrival & contribution to the program.

I have been folowing this board for years & just recently signed up to post.  And I am beginning to believe that acts of grass roots outreach like this will help us as a brand to overcome the 40+ years of wondering in the NCAA wilderness.

Thank You Dukes102.

Re: Positive Tweet From Stud Freshman to Stud Recruit

Update: I tweeted at both mike and walker about the post saying exactly "hell yes great attitude. Mike, after the disappointing season you freshman and these recruits can turn du hoops around #bright future."

Walker immediately retweeted it on his page, waiting to see what mike Lewis does.

No offense taken. I don't know all of the details. I've said many, many times I am not a man in the know.

​I simply have had discussions with three people that resulted in me getting the same basic information. Details? Unless one or more of the three tell me anything, I don't have a clue.

​That said, someone at Duquesne once confirmed to me that the Message Board is well-read. By players, coaches, administrators, etc. Based on that, I'd guess that your assumption about the players knowing might make sense.

Just can't confirm it for you right now.

I'm glad they read it, they absolutely should. We are the voice of the 150 or so still attending games. The last who care. For too long there has been such a feeling of disconnect from the fans and students, and the hire ups making decisions (bad ones). For some reason this feels different right now.
