Thanks, Yng.

A LOT to be proud of here. The fact that Boyle almost got him when he openly described aTm as his "dream school" is huge.

Looks like CU bball has arrived. Should we bust out the unicorns? This **** aint over.
harrumph. Seriously, College ****ing station? Hope his dad gets a new job somewhere better.
I'm thinking Sanders to Maryland now.

Really shouldn't be surprised, unless it's about Sanders.

I expect him to commit while on campus.
:nod:
Edit: I just posted the following on BuffScoop and wanted to also put it on our board.
For the folks that don't follow hoops recruiting very closely, here's how this one kind of played out:
1) Turgeon had Caruso and Sanders as Texas A&M locks.
2) Caruso and Sanders developed a bond and played together.
3) Turgeon left for Maryland.
4) Both Caruso and Sanders considered Maryland, but Caruso eliminated them.
5) Likewise, Sanders didn't want to go to Texas A&M any more (or his offer wasn't still good, not sure).
6) Sanders became a Maryland lean.
7) Colorado became the mutual "next best option" for both if they wanted to play together.
8) Main connections were Boyle playing with Sanders' dad at Kansas and Rohn having a relationship with Caruso's dad from aTm.
9) Now that Caruso chose aTm, the smart money is on Sanders going to Maryland.
:lol:

Hm, I completely disagree. IMO, basketball isn't like football where you look at a guy in warm ups and a lot of the time they are also a producer on the field. I even read one report where they said in warm ups, you'd disregard Caruso immediately but once the game starts, he stands out. Maybe that's what you meant.

That is what I meant. If he came up to me and bet me 20 bucks on a game of 1 on 1 and I knew nothing about him I would take the bet.
Hornbuckle anyone?

A note from an ESPN article:
After the Colorado trip, Mike said his son knew it was time to make a decision but the Buffaloes almost threw a wrench into the Aggies deal. "A lot of people thought it was a slam dunk but I can tell you in all candor and honesty that he was probably 50-50 (the day before the decision)," Mike said. "Colorado made it very tough; they did an excellent job."
