Ugh wanted to lock this kid up before he blew up and the bigger boys came calling. He's a perfect 2g for us. Perfect. If Duke calls, it's lights out.

 

[Dave85]

Matt Moyer: is there anything he can't do? Really, I love this kid's heart, will and tenacity. It will translate to the court.

After our tournament run I imagine there are large numbers converted to our Orange religion. They were crazy exciting games. How can anyone not want to be part of the Orange magic.

Always want to lock up a talented kid early, but just like Tyus Battle is the perfect 2g for us, so is this kid, just in a different way. We should have a great chance here; not worried about Duke and the others.

Kid really looks like a kid. He might not be done growing.

Napoleon Dynamite. Need to get Uncle Rico on board.

Welcome to the party, Gottfried.

Welcome to the party, Gottfried.

Blessed to receive an offer from the third-most popular team in its own metropolitan area.

 

[Francis03]

Well this recruitment should get interesting as time goes along.

 

[Mstumpy50]

Nice honor for Alex

 

[longtimefan]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's like these other teams wait for us to offer and then say, "hey, this guy must be good."

It's been this way for a while. JB and his staff are excellent evaluators, and other programs know it.

 

[HoustonCuse]

No kidding. Wow seems like everybody we've had on our radar is going supernova lately!

 

[Francis03]

This cat is going to rack up a long list of offers during this month.

 

[Francis03]

Slick Rick not playing around I see.

 

[jr4750]

Both he and Quade were looking likely a month or so ago. Now it's a dogfight for both. Very interested to see who signs up. Alex is a perfect 2g in our system. Wonder if we can win this one.

If Louisville got O'Connell and Randolph I would be shocked
