Certainly a lot of competition.  He seemed really high on SC. I have to think Frank Martin is putting the full press on this kid.  Also it seems like Creighton is coming in late and are after all the same kids we have offered... Severe, Notice, TraVaughn Wite (a juco from Independence CC who visited last weekend), and Deving Brooks a JUCO from Iowa Western CC (this may be the kid from NYC you are thinking of). 

I do not have a good feeing about Severe.  I would like to see us land Notice and TraVaugh who originally committed to the Bonnies and led the JUCO ranks in scoring this season.

Would you still want White after getting Ridenour?  He's only 5'9 so he can't play the 2.  

 
To me the biggest need for this team is ball handlers.  White, while on the small side (I saw him listed at 6'0") can fit that bill and provide scoring.  I don't think the coaches would have brought him in for a visit if they did not think he could help.  I would rather have Severe and Notice but don't think that will happpen.  If we got Notice I believe he can play 2 - 3 (at 6'4" with a big frame), Ridenour can sky and can play 1-2.  White could handle the point with Colter and with Binney and Jeremiah we would have the kind of guards we need to go high octaine.  We will be better in the front court with Soko, Watkins & Robinson, but probably could still use help.  Maybe if we shave two to give, and we get Notice, Ferry may go for another front court player.  We will see.  If we don't get Duane Notice it may be we take White and if we still have one left hold it to see if we get Severe or a quality late surprise.  These guys get big bucks to figure this out.

You can never have enough 1s or 5s.

I'm glad he's not dragging it out like Severe. At least we'll know one way or the other while alternatives are still out there.

Duane Notice's twitter account.  A lot of interesting posts.  Looks like he will announce his decision now on Saturday at 10:00 pm on twitter.

I can't remember this much anticipation around a signing since probably Fortson. Would love to see this kid come here with his Canadian brethren, and be the nucleus that gets us back into the NCAA Tournament.

I was thinking the same thing about Fortson with the Baldanado announcement a close second.

The difference between this, and those previous years, is that this would cap a great class, while we were depending on those others to basically make the class.

Where's the Inner Circle when you need them?

Nothing yet? Maybe he's gonna' hold off.

I went to a South Carolina blog. They are hoping he goes there of course and believe he is leaning their way.  Just sayin
