Brandon Knight is announcing today which will pretty much cause a giant domino effect over the next couple of weeks or so.

Something tells me it would take a lot of dominos for that to reach us. If I had access to youtube here at work I would post a video to illustrate.

hey, I wasn't implying that some of our recruits were waiting to see where he was going. But unless we're just trying to sign guys that no other school is interested in, you better believe his signing will get things rolling. Pretty much the entire top 10 guards are waiting to see what he'll do, and the ones below them are waiting to see which schollies they'll be taking, etc.

I don't see that as a hint as much as an "I'll check it tomorrow to see if anything came in" type of thing. It's a signing period, not a day.

Sounded to me like a hint

SJs probably the most inside on this board besides Lang (and maybe HMO) at this point.

That's a hint? How's that anything but "I'll check it to see if anything came in?"

I hear he hasn't :wink:

Let's see who's right.



Edit: I really haven't heard anything about him

When was the last time we signed two skilled players over 6' 6" in the same class? This is starting to look like a great class. Congrats Coach!

I sure hope so, but on a cautionary note, I believe those exact words or very close to it were posted here in November of 2006. The fact that Sommy has been going to HS here and hopefully will be graduating with an easily certifiable diploma will make things go smoothly through the clearinghouse.

Saw Coach Layer in Charlotte at the airport yesterday and talked to him for a minute. I was suspicious he might be there for this but wasn't entirely sure.

This kid is in Kentucky, and in any event, coaches aren't usually there when players sign their LOI. In fact, I'm not even sure they're allowed to be. You can bet coach Layer was on his way to work on the next one.

He was by the gate for Lexington. Guess I should have mentioned that. Might not of been going there but I read FlameFans while I was waiting in Nashville and then saw Layer by that gate.
