Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1955738, member: 405"] Well, the whole deal about using Quade's commitment to entice other guys to come play with him hasn't yielded the expected results. Where are Randolph and Bamba, who played with him on his AAU team? Yes, maybe we draw a couple aces late in the game, but Quade isn't going to make his announcement until after the signing period is over. Yes, maybe there are a shtt ton of silent verbals out there, but it doesn't feel like it. Quade doesn't help us get any of those kids by announcing after the signing period is over. I wonder if he's even going to send in his paperwork, or will he keep his options open until May when he sees who goes to the NBA? Compared to past years, we haven't been in this position ever before that I can remember. Yes, they pulled rabbits out of their hats with the grad students, but you can't count on that to fill your roster when you need seven new guys. [/QUOTE]
