Timing of the release has nothing to do with Kalif Young visiting Marquette, though I suppose it's a nice conspiracy theory. Based on what? 99.99999999999% of your info comes courtesy of Google. So, what exactly are you basing your assumption on? Bing? Yahoo? I'm not making an assumption. I'm telling you the timing of the release isn't tied to a recruit visiting another school. I'm not googling that. I'm telling you that based on information I gleaned in discussions with people. Other humans. Not search engines. I didn't ask anyone -- or any search engine, for that matter -- if there was a connection to the timing of the release. But I know, based on conversations had, that the timing is purely coincidental. The timing of any press release from the PC Athletics office would never be so coordinated. |

Whoa.
flyerlax06 offers a great resource of information year-round and his website has tons of Friar info as well. Why are you jumping on him?
Your contributions are few and, frankly, most of us are happy about that.
PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

What I meant, if it wasn't clear, is that I didn't call or text someone and specifically ask if the timing was intentional. I just know -- from this little thing called context -- that the timing had nothing to do with any specific recruitment. It was released when it was released because that's when they felt like releasing it. Maybe I'm wrong and they are saving the Alpha Diallo and Emmitt Holt press releases -- even though both have been signed for awhile now -- for some sinister recruiting plot. |

Lax - we may need a scholly and his was not renewed. It sucks but it happens.
Otherwise he should be lumped in with fortune and chukwu for screwing us over. This time we did the screwing......

Despite the double contradiction, I am a fan of flyer and guys like him and macfriar and warriorfriar. They love the team/program and their efforts on these forums help keep me educated. What I like even better is that they just keep doing it through all of the unnecessary criticism.

I agree. If Providence trades Q for Kalif Young it's a win for Providence. I just don't believe the athletic office coordinated sending out a release to coincide with the day that Young started his visit to Marquette. It's silly to think Cooley has to send a message that a scholarship has opened up via a press release. |

The difficulty in explaining my position on this is because I can't really tell the whole story. You have conversations with people in confidence and they mention something that can't be mentioned publicly. Then something happens like the press release and you hearken back to that privileged conversation and remember a detail mentioned there that didn't seem relevant to much at the time but then leads you to the fact that the timing of the release had nothing to do with anything other then that's just when they decided to release it. I guess that makes me a douche who just Google's info to pretend I have sources.

Do I think the scholly opened up b/c young is visiting marq? Absolutely not.....do I think it opened up b/c we have a legit shot to get a better player? Absolutely.

The schollie needed to open up. A lack of quality depth killed this team last year. As long as Cooley doesn't pull a Wojo move and incinerate a bridge I'm ok with it.

I don't that anyone should question what Mike Hopkins brings to the table. Check out his site. He works hard to give us this info. I am grateful we have guys like him who are so passionate about PC. |
