Not for nuthin' but I just read on Nunes how a coupla days ago Alterique Gilbert...AGAIN, stated that we were his "dream school" but had cooled on recruiting him. ( Sorry if it was already covered somewhere in this "anticipation-thread from hell")
Presumably this is because of our never-ending, back-n-forth infatuation with the reluctant Mr. Battle.
Look, I'm an arrogant enough Cuse fan who thinks that we should never have to "wait" on a recruit, especially one who seems as wishy-washy as TB, while another top prospect is left hanging.
Tyus fits our "system" better than any other prospect, but I don't agree with the excessive hard-on we seem to have for him.  Throughout our history some of our "2nd choices" ended up being great players (Sherm Douglas, Hak Warrick). Moreover, 3 of the top ten PG's in program history were all, shall we say, "dimunitive in stature": Sherm, GMac, Jonny.
All I'm saying is that this kid better be worth it, especially if Gilbert ends up haunting us over these upcoming seasons wearing a Duke, UConn, or Louisville uniform. Oh Lord :bang:
