2015 SG Matt McQuaid (Michigan State Verbal Commit)

[Bluejay Bilas]

The skeptic in me thinks it's because some blueblood has been whispering sweet nothings in his ear, and that plus the Mudiay news made him de-commit.

Hopefully it's the Underground's Blueblood but I'm doubting it.

Hope it's the transfer guard who SMU got last week or just general concerns about the SMU program. IMO, he was the only really painful 2015 verbal for us in terms of our staff's focus, the team's needs, and apparent player interest.

I'm on vacation in Cali. Unless he is at surf camp, not me.

I am so jealous. Between work, vacation, and family how do you keep so many topics alive? No matter, I always look forward to your insight!

Jays have their whole staff to watch Matt tonight. (per twitter) Come on Matt be a Jay!

[HandDownManDown]

Well that's a good sign. Maybe we're still a frontrunner.

I will give the staff this: the guys they're on are blowing up right and left. Even if we wind up the bride's maid at least we're identifying the meteors in the classes early.

Great sign, hopefully the whole staff being there is not lost on Matt.

We are definitely trying to send a message. Frankly, I have a hard time believing there is a better offense out there for Matt's game then ours. The best shooter in the country should play for Shooter U.

From Jeff Borzello at CBS:

SMU will remain on McQuaid's list, but several other schools have already reached out since the news over the weekend. North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Texas, Baylor, LSU, Creighton and others are all showing interest, with everyone besides North Carolina and Virginia extending offers.
"The system I fit in," McQuaid said when asked what he's looking for in a school. "I want to shoot, I want to play. I want to be happy where I am for four years."
Creighton, Texas and Baylor were recruiting him prior to his May commitment to SMU.
Will that play a factor?
"I mean, yeah, I guess you can say that," McQuaid said. "It really doesn't matter though, I'm just kinda starting over."

His last comment isn't particularly encouraging, although it's just a 17-year-old kid responding to a reporter's leading question.

[gtmoBlue]

yeah. Be a Bluejay. Great fit.
(and he resembles the great Eddie Cole a bit).

Just picked up an offer from Mich St.
