I think the fact that Patton left and Marcus and Thomas were almost locks to start have hurt our chances lately.
Even with Marcus and Thomas starting, there would still be enough minutes to go around for 3 guys at 2 positions + extra minutes for Bowen if he started/played a few minutes at the 4 spot. I hope he comes to CU but I'm happy with the wings we have already and the 2 new guys for next year. We have a very good class of recruits w/ more to sign before May 17th.

I've lost interest. DePaul a strong player now makes this whole saga almost laughable. If he doesn't pick creighton...which he isn't going to....i really hope he goes to depaul.

Did you miss the momentum Creighton was gaining before the DePaul asst coaches hiring? Creighton pretty much has the 4 spot open for Tugs. Creighton was gaining momentum nationally AFTER JP and Marcus made their decisions. JP and Marcus decisions didn't have nearly the impact as Bridges and Trier coming back to Sparty and AZ. Most thought of Creighton as the slight favorite before DePaul's massive shakeup to go all in on getting Tugs.

As to those Crystal Balls. The Sparty ones are mostly smaller guys left over from the beginning of Tugs recruitment. Even the Sparty Insider doesn't have MSU picked for Tugs. AZ has lost most of their Crystal Ball predictions over the last couple of weeks and had them switched to Creighton by National guys like Jerry Meyer. That has all changed within the last week with the news of DePaul hiring Tug's HS coach and being interested in his AAU coach. Many of Creighton's Crystal Balls have been switched over to DePaul with the news.

The bolded sentence has been known for a while and has had nothing to do with our "chances" as of late.

My guess, Saurez... Gresham....Jarreau. Tugs might be going to DePaul. Have a feeling we cooked

DePaul is not going to be his choice. Tugs is out for number one, a mercenary, not beholden to coaches for whom he has played. By this way of thinking, he would have signed with local connection and relative legend following Michigan State. He wants to be THE MAN on a team that will go to the NCAA tourney and have a chance to go deep next year, not to a team that sucks. DePaul does not fit the profile of what he is truly looking for, not even media exposure or fan support.

No way Bowen goes to DePaul, I don't care who they hire. He isn't throwing away his college experience.

Whew. Glad to hear so definitively that all of the recent retweeting of DePaul news and commits by both him and his mom couldn't possibly mean anything.

Ditto. If we get him, awesome, but this whole thing is like a soap opera.

Hey worry about whatever trips your trigger.
