Prospects Fading

I have no inside knowledge of recruiting, nor do I access Twitter to learn about recent recruiting efforts. What I do know is that in past years during the spring signing period we have almost always announced players and their signing by this point, more than two weeks after signing day. Last April we announced signed palyers shortly after the signing period began.

The delay does not certainly but probably suggests that some of our efforts have been unsuccessful. No JC center recruit has suggested interest in the program that I know of.

I agree that we appear to need another big, but wonder now whether it is better to wait for a year to use the scholarship because the 2011 eligible talent available to the Pilots is not good enough to help the team.

Great meeting with prospects parents. Very good discussion on how college is about opening doors on and off the court. And proper "fit".

Let me just say I need to lose some weight before I fly Air Europa again. Problem is I am not sure that will happen by tomorrow.

Air Europa has the Canary Islands as the first route that pops up on Google.

Rob Kennedy Hey I ran into Eric Reveno, the Head Coach at Portland, out at the Final 4 and he said he just came back from seeing you. He is a really good guy and a terrific coach. I have gotten to know him well over the past few years and I think the world of him.

It might be bit early to give up yet. Wink

Gus here--thank you for the update. I am obviously anxious to learn what basketball souvenirs may end up in Portland with our globe trotting coach. If what you suggest is true, then Reveno is continuing the improvement of the program in ways that were hard to imagine prior to his taking over.

The bigs in the videos on the Facebook page look promising--let's see if one appears in an article on the website.

Go Pilots!

On April 22, I received an e mail fro a person who should know that as of that date they did not have a name, JC or otherwise.
They are stilllooking as of the 22nd.

you did go to Easter mass, right? I heard Rev has taken recruiting to new heights. . Doesn't mean we aren't still looking.

BAH! I was really holding out for THIS prime recruit...

I wonder if he's related to God Shammgod?

by PurpleGeezer on Thu Apr 28, 2011 12:20 pm

That's your trouble. Always hoping for that otherworldly recruit.

Have a sense of reality, will you? We'll never get someone like that.

Why did you just KNOW they were going to include this piece of bio.

God's Gift (20) is the third of six children born to Eunice and Donatus Achiuwa of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He has one older brother, Promise, and two younger brothers, God's Will and Precious. He also has one older sister, Grace, and one younger sister, Peace.

It was bound to happen that God's Gift would end up with Saint something or another. It could have been St Marys and then where would we be !

Younger brother named "Precious"? Talk about your Boy Named Sue complex.
