[tee1222]

Going out to King Francis: Meanwhile, over at Jerry's house, a whole lotta flippin and a floppin and a flip-floppin over Battle. http://247sports.com/Player/Tyus-Battle-24089 Someone's bound to get it right, right? Let's flip for it! This thread is a beauty.

I think it just moved

LOL

Some third-hand news. Battle was at Revolutions in Destiny tonight with a bunch of players. According to him, this is his last visit before he makes his decision. He wants to play closer to home. No trip to UConn in the plans.

 

[IthacaMatt]

As already pointed out 2011-12. And don't forget we won the NC with GMac, Duany, Billy, Melo, Warrick, Pace, Forth, and McNeil with Pace getting the least amount of minutes per game at just under 15 minutes. Still, it's true we tend to get by with 7.5 in most years.

Cheers,
Neil

It's always at least 8 guys - 3 guards, 3 forwards and 2 centers. Every year. Sometimes more than that.

Well that seals it. Who wouldn't love a mall trip with Swaggy Mike and Trev.

It's not a mall. It's a destination. (I think)

No Mike or Cooney there. Kaleb and the big men plus some team managers.

Kaleb was there?

Uh oh ... KJ is plotting is revenge already

 

[Orangezoo]

I can't wait until 6 months from now everyone is salivating at him playing with Kaleb. Kaleb isn't the first freshman to look green and to fail the looks test nor will he be the last.

New interview with Moyer...relevant to this thread as it was conducted right after Battle news broke. This kid says all the right things. Loves SU and the staff and is a tremendous ambassador for the program and school.

Iommi, link doesn't work. Can you fix, or do I resort to Google AGAIN? Thank you!

Just go to Skowt. Those links don't work here.

 

[iommi]

I purposely spelled Scowt wrong on link...spell it correctly and link will work.

 

[Nicknack]

All I can say is wow (after watching that interview). What more could you want from a recruit and soon to be Orangeman? He seems to have it all. This is a young man who is, no question, a favorite of mine and he has yet to even play a minute for us. The loyalty and love for SU that he exudes is just tremendous to see. Come on, Tyus, join the family and something special!

[ORANGE OATH]

Yeah - that was one of your 23 posts. nice work

Quality always outweighs quantity. As I said I want Tyus to wear Orange, but I think he has had so many chances to go Orange, and hasn't, that I think he is headed to Duke. Hope I am proved wrong !

 

[HOFCeluck]

Duke fans on s cout have all but conceded him going to cuse...fwiw.

 

[ORANGE OATH]

That sounds great, hope it comes to fruition.

 

[Nicknack]

I want some good news so badly that I'm driving myself insane by checking this thread every 30 minutes or so just hoping that it will be announced that Battle has committed. Going to run errands, without my phone - that should buy me a couple of hours without access to the site. Uh oh... might get withdrawals.

As for Dook, I'll throw up in my mouth if Battle decomits from UM to only commit to those guys. Come on Tyus, save me the unsavory experience!

Hes not going to duke .

Simmons and Gilbert are much better than Tyus doe

Oh, that was only after his initial MI commitment? Carry on

You're clearly missing the fact that Gilbert is gonna be the next Hakim Warrick.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I don't get it.

What's the point of reopening recruiting?

I hear people saying he may in fact want to play closer to home

Did he suddenly drive to Michigan and realize, wow, that map of the United states wasn't lying.
