    @Quietcowskee makes a great point. I bet he's staying home.

    If he commits to us we stole a player from USC (and we'll pretend that still means something). A guy who's an absolute man child and will be our next Azeem.

    If he goes to USC we obviously DWHA and he's another topped out Joel Dublanko.

    Check out the crystal brain on this one.

    Stealing a guy from u$c this yr looks a little rosier then last yr.

    This idea that he won't be leaving home is horse shit. Is mom is probably extremely proud that he is getting a full ride to the University of Southern California.

    Fact that we’re less than 4 hours from his commitment announcement and there’s essentially no buzz ... positive sign

    I believe there’s no buzz because everybody already knows where he’s going. Hope to be wrong but it’s supposedly a forgone conclusion teq

    I have ZERO expectation that he’s going to UW

    I can understand those questioning him as a player, etc

    But showing indifference and lack of interest in a highly rated local player who chooses a school with a better name/prestige is BAD OPTICS

    If you pass on a guy like Simon, you damn well better get a higher end player to defend yourself against those optics

    If you are going to be successful dominating your in-state recruiting, you may have to take someone that you aren’t as high on to make sure you get the ones you have to get

    I’m really having a hard time figuring out if I am hoping that we find a way to salvage this class or to have it completely tank and bottom out. Fundamental changes are needed ... it’s becoming very clear.

    The bottom is in. Going 11-1 this year.
