This is the kid to add to the class. With all these nice prospects in the post, you need someone to stretch the D. Caruso is that guy. Very intelligent player who would fit in nicely at CU. I would take him over Christian Sanders in a heart beat, as Sanders is more just a shooter while Caruso is much better with the ball in his hands.

Caruso's dad is the associate athletic director at Texas A&M.

I really wonder how that impacts his recruiting. On the surface, this is not good news. There are enough kids who want to go out on there own, though, that maybe this works in our favor. Let's hope this is a kid who would rather get some some distance from dad and make a name on his own merit the next 4 years.
why wouldnt anyone want to go where there father is currently in a position of power...

All depends on if he wants to stay close to family or get away on his own. His dad being there might actually be a reason for him to not go there.
His dad being at aTm definitely means he won't choose another Big 12 school if he decides not to go Aggy. I thought Maryland would be the top choice other than aTm since Turgeon was the coach he'd built the relationship with, but it looks like we have moved into that spot. I really want this kid to be a Buff. Let's hope he wants to go away for college.
thats my point...if dad pressures him to go the aTm is it an ncaa violation?
The only way BCS should interact with Caruso is if he's pretending to be an aTm fan.
and that just aint gonna happen...

Report on Scout from his aTm visit: http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1103078.html
He didn't commit and if he doesn't, we're likely to be his only other visit. We definitely have ground to make up here, but we are a solid #2 with a chance to make this happen.

Thanks for the update man. That was a good article. Hope his talk about no clear leader was legit and not please the fan base crap.
I'm trying to figure out if we're better off the longer this drags on (because it's obviously going to take a lot to overcome the fact he grew up as an A&M fan and his dad works there) or if we're better off if this ends quickly (adrenaline from the trip to Boulder).
quickly, someone send him a comparison of cheerleading and dance squad teams!
Nothing new here, but CBS is also talking about us going head-to-head with aTm for him. Nice to see us getting some national press here.
That's my gut right now too. But honestly, the fact that we're even in this is mindboggling. This kid has been an aTm lean since he was a fetus.
Any idea who his player host was? Was it fellow Texan 'Dre?
