Double convinced. Went to Gonzaga on a recruiting visit with my oldest. Went from #1 to bottom of the list. It's not terrible, but it's really isolated. Many hours of nothing from there to anywhere.

I also found the non-university people to be not very welcoming and stand offish.
Scored 25 against Boulder in the 2nd round on Saturday. But also had 11 turnovers. Boulder tied the game with just over a minute, Perkins got a 3 point play to take the lead for good. My cousin plays for BHS, they played both East and Regis this year, I need to ask him what his thoughts are with Perkins vis a vis Collier.

That would be some seriously interesting intel. How often do you talk to him?
Until we start to consistently advance in the tourney it is natural for schools like Gonazaga's fans to dismiss us without thinking about it. Kid is still young and figuring out what he wants. I wouldn't worry about what fans of another school are saying right now.
If the kid was saying it the situation may be a little different but even then I wouldn't flip out about it.
Regularly. When I see him next I'll ask him about it.

Time to step our game up
It didn't hurt that they were chanting his name either.
The only issue with doing this at the Keg is you have to be careful who's there. You don't want to start a “we want Perkins" chant if Dom's sitting next to him at the game, and vice versa.
There is always Coeur d'alene.

Could chant for both, or perhaps the C-Unit could have fat-heads of both with something corny like "the next Dynamic Duo".

Under what aspect? College fans have chanted for recruits for years
It is definitely, NOT a compliance violation to chant his name.

I thought I remembered reading that it was on one of those things Compliance posts in the bathrooms at the Keg during basketball season.
Boosters are not supposed to help recruit. Be careful.
And treat Perkins and Collier as individuals. We would love to have each come to CU on his own merits. The fact that there is another great guard from in-state in the same recruiting class is irrelevant except for how they would each be utilized (which is the same discussion every other program will have with each of them since every school worthy of their talents has multiple quality guards on their team).

Confirmed during the WBB NCAA sub-regional .... posted on the inside stall doors about prospects may be present at games and that fans should not approach prospects nor should their names be chanted or on signs as that could be an NCAA violation.
its not an issue

BeBe's right, if students/alumni chanted for a recruit, the University is supposed to report it to the NCAA.
But this is something that happens with pretty much every high profile program. Have never heard of a program getting sanctions or even a warning over fans chanting. Not that I'd recommend doing it, but I highly doubt New Mexico got in hot water over doing it.

Yup. I'm betting UCLA shoots to the top of his list now.
