Yep. And, admittedly, that's largely what I'm basing this on. I hope they're right!

massive tool
SHeeesh! Lighten up on the "snark" until you learn the facts, eh Francis?
Re: '13 TX PF Dustin Thomas (Verbal to Colorado)
Those numbers are facts they were just the wrong year.

Regardless of Thomas's numbers or ultimate ranking, I think we should take it as a very good sign that the staff immediately accepted his commitment given the caliber of players we were still in on and the fact that it was likely the last available spot in this year's class.

beware the habu
A 6'8" sharpshooter = matchup nightmare
Re: '13 TX PF Dustin Thomas (Verbal to Colorado)
He has to shoot at a better rate than Dufault for this to work.

Texas competition >>>> North Dakota competition
agreed. The reason I am posting the Dufault comparison because I think he might become what we all hoped Dufault would be when he was here: A big man who can step outside and hit a 3 point shot. He looks like he has the frame to be above 220 by his Sophmore year in college.
Dufault was a good player for us. I don't want to talk negatively about him. He was a big reason we won a conference title.
Regarding his high school stats, not only was that in North Dakota but it was in the small school division. What made him a viable recruiting prospect was when he performed well with a traveling team in a Vegas tourney. Very similar to Thomas in that latter regard.

ESPN has him as #27 PF, 4 Star rating.
umm. wow. what a class.
tad for bball coach/AD
If Tad ever wanted to move up to the AD position he would probably be great at it. Top flight people skills, highly organized and driven, ability to see future developments.
That all said I just want to keep him as BB coach, at least until we win a couple of NCAA tourneys.:nod:
Dustin is also just two spots away from claiming that Top 100 list. Also Jaron is about five spots. Hopefully they can both have tremendous senior years and get there.

Doble hoja
:nod: He is only a 4 star because he committed to the buffs. Had he choose a non basketball school like UCLA he would only be a 3 star.
OK, nice writeup from ESPN. Praises his shooting and athleticism. Good passer. Can defend in the post and on the perimeter. Apparently he had a 4" growth spurt that really caused him to start getting attention. The only knocks they really list? He needs to continue to get stronger and should continue to work on his ballhandling.
Why do we keep hearing this about Tad recruits? Dude knows what he is looking for.
The only thing that's missing is "left handed".
/waits for someone to find out he actually is left handed at this point...
I kind of want to field an all left handed starting lineup. Just cause.
I want an all ambidextrous lineup.
You can always ask him
