New basketball recruit?

3. Lets not act like we already have him, it isn't a done deal

I have heard far, far different things.

I will be absolutely shocked if he doesn't come here. Shocked.

This is a better get than Schlatter, but this is a lesson to him on what happens when you wait too long. You can't just sit on an offer (unless you are a top 10 recruit)...

Agreed on Schlatter...

Well unless you have heard that he has signed and enrolled, technically achrist is right

Wouldn't it be something if we nab a BCS transfer that was a top 150 kid out of HS, and he chooses UNI over USC, Florida, and SLU??? I mean seriously, say that out loud. Gainesville, Los Angeles, STL, Cedar Falls.

Come to UNI Paul!!!!

I'd like to know what you've heard. Fla, SLU & USC are tough competition for the Cats for a guy coming out of the ACC.

I agree. BC drops all kinds of "in the know" teaser posts, but never provides more detail. Either pure speculative BS or he's got facts. Either way, it would be nice to know more.

Anything BC posts is the best possible scenario of any situation.

You must not read my football posts...

Basketball wise, you're right. Tons of respect for the staff that we've got and that definitely makes my kool-aid a bit darker shade of purple.

@WisBBYearbook: Virginia transfer and former Merrill star Paul Jesperson plans to take visits to USC and Saint Louis this week. He visited UNI last weekend.

@BadgerSportBeat: Just got word that former WI Mr. BBall Paul Jesperson has visited #UNI will visit #SLU soon and now #USC & #FLA are showing interest

What do you think the time frame for announcement will be?

I agree. The focus then turns to what he sees at other places that he didn't see here. I highly doubt there will be as much reflection on what we offer that he wouldn't get elsewhere. Hopefully there is lots of checking in on our part.

Re: New basketball recruit?

I work at Joker's here in Cedar Falls. Seth Tuttle came in tonight with another kid. Jokers has a rule that if you are not 21 you must provide college ID. when the other kid was asked seth jumped in and said the kid didnt have one because he was a transfer on a visit from Virginia, kid then took out a student ID from Virginia. any idea on who we may be getting? kid looked to be a couple inches shorter than tut.

did Paul by chance leave with a good looking chick???

Looks like FL and USC landed a transfer already. One transfer player is hopefully enough for them. Is Iowa State interested in him at all?

Reading about him in high school makes this kid look like a really good get. Would this be the highest rated prospect we ever had?

Re: New basketball recruit?

Anyone know anything about the kid from Kirkwood who tweeted he would be coming to UNI? Is he coming this year or next?
