    He attended the RMU game.  Had interest from George Mason, LaSalle, Ball State , Central Connecticut State , Charleston Southern U and East Carolina University .   Could be a sleeper as only other offers were from  Norfolk State, Harcum, Tarleton State, Wisconsin-Parkside University, & West Liberty

    As long as he wakes up when he gets here!  Not to be disrespectful, but AGAIN, another 2 star.  I know, some of you out there are saying those stars don't mean anything.  Well, they mean something, and he only has two.

    I hope everyone has a Blessed and Merry Christmas and remembers the Reason for the Season!

    Craig Meyer ‏=13px@CraigMeyerPG  25m25 minutes agoBeen told by multiple sources that Duquesne has not received a commitment from class of 2017 point guard Nazir Thomas. Strange situation.

    FRAUD

    FRAUD

    Herbert not sure who you are calling a fraud.  Don't know who Meyer's sources are, but clearly the kid made a verbal commitment today to Duquesne.  It would be very strange if his source was Ferry.

    OK this is really weird.  A major sanitation process is happening on the web.  Verbal Commits has eliminated the link for Thomas.  The posts and retweets of his announcement on Twitter have been removed.  The Twitter Account for Nazir Thomas has been eliminated along with all of the congratulatory posts on Thomas's commitment.   Looks like some people are going to great length to cover up this story up???

    OK circle closed.  Looks like DU offer was not solid and the kid jumped the gun. I feel bad for him. 

    NT! ‏=13px@NazThomas4  14m14 minutes agoMy apologies to the University of Duquesne & Coaching Staff! This was a total misunderstanding..That I will live through

    Oh my god! Feel awful for him. What does this say for the program that they are turning promising multi offer players down? Have we been able to jump up a level in recruiting? Also lets hope he doesn't go to another A10 school and make it his mission to avenge DU.

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Considering that they have a soph pg sitting out, and another good one signed for next year, I'd have to think that a pg is a lower priority for 2017.

    It doesn't sound like they turned him down. Sounds like they showed interest in him and he took it as an offer. Kind of like when we would go to the bars and some good looking girl would look at you and your first thought is "that chick digs me"

    Not sure if anyone saw this from Jamie Shaw (maybe should be in a separate thread?):  Wichita St & Duquesne are in tomorrow to see 6'4 Unsigned Sr Cartier Diarra of West Florence (SC).  This hype is real

    Don't know anything about him - CLK - not sure if he is on your list somewhere - couldn't find it.

    Thanks Mulder.  It is interesting that he is a SR (2016 recruit). I guess the old saying "you never stop recruiting".

    Seems like someone leaves every year. I'm guessing this year won't be any different
