Seems like if they were some sort of package to build momentum for the program they would have declared at the same time, or at least in Tugs' case, not been on a visit elsewhere. There is also rumblings DePaul could land Howard scorer and grad transfer James Daniels who'd provide a punch in Chicago next season and they also seem well position for 4/5 star Center Jermiah Tilmon. DePaul's making moves, with only one scholarship left it will be interesting to see how things shake out. But like Matt told me on the podcast, don't count Jays out.




Not all information is created equal. That doesn't make information you deem less valuable or reliable not information, though. It's just less valuable information.


If you google the word "information" the first definition you get is "facts provided or learned about something or someone." Clearly, opinion not rising to the level of fact doesn't meet that definition. I know that we know live in the era of "alternative facts," but even they are not facts. The Rev. Neal Cahill had a polite expression for such "information," TWADDLE. His rubber stamp was in ALL CAPS.

TWADDLE, that's a word I have not heard used in many years. I would say that Fr. Cahill would probably have said most statements on a site like 24/7 are TWADDLE, he would have concluded some statements were "information". Just have to sift it out for yourself. One man's TWADDLE is another man's information.

The other recruits we are looking out also need to pull the trigger. I wonder if Tugs is waiting for Waters and vice versa. If Tugs sole concern at this point is to maximize his NBA potential and put up big numbers, while also being on a tournament team(sorry DePaul, even with Tugs, you are not going to NCAA tourney), my opinion is CU is the place. He would be on a better team in Arizona or Oregon, but there are too many people to compete with.

Oregon just got a 2018 commit. 6'8 Miles Norris. Ranked top 25.
Pro: All these players going where Tugs is considering that are in the vicinity of his position.
Cons: Tugs doesn't see that

Except DePaul. Honestly, I'd be shocked if he doesn't go there.

I'd be shocked if he committed to anybody. At all. This year.

One man's Too Much Information is another man's Too Litte Information, "TLI"... and one other man's "JEI"... Just Enough Information.

Obviously you miss the point. The predictions aren't information. They are entertainment. Information about visits an athlete makes or teams that statements about teams still in the mix are information. Even there those statements or visits may contain misinformation as we have certainly seen.
