I see a great year ahead. I am predicting us beating Duke even. As far as recruiting goes I think we are still in good shape. Shai wants to sign next month but said he wanted to take 1-2 visits to make sure he was happy with his choice and won't have to transfer after a year or 2. I think he could only visit if he decommitted so he did. We are still high on his list but he wants to make sure. I think we keep him in the end.

Duke is flat out loaded. You think we have the chops to beat them? You are optimistic. Duke does have a lot of freshman on the team this year. I do think we surprise some folks as well, but not having home games for several months will be tough.

After reading a little more, I felt a little bit better about Alexander's situation as well. We have a good shot at keeping him as we'll have a slot ready for him to step into right away. Go look at the other schools to make sure (can't blame him), but I believe we have the best situation for him to get early, and meaningful PT.

Haven't seen anything yet, other than who was reportedly interested in him - Butler, VaTech and UCLA. I assume he's going to visit VaTech since that's where his cousin is committed and probably UCLA just for the trip out west and to see the hotties.

Slap me in the face!
Here's another thought - Jalen Hudson transferred away from VaTech and Buzz Williams. Gotta be some reason for that as I figure their styles matched up. Maybe a personality conflict?
UCLA has the rep, and Alford, so they may be the one to worry about here. Though I still think Alexander's cousin being committed to VaTech could be a hurdle to overcome.....................................and the UCLA hotties.

Though according 247 sports Alexander has unofficially visited UF, they say the he has not officially visited UF. Maybe if he ever takes an official to UF, he can talk to Hudson to see why he left VPISU.
As for UCLA, they have a certain attraction and so does UF. And as you say UF as the best PG situation out there.

Exactly and meanwhile we traded down big time.
Not suggesting we could get another Billy but I truly believe their were better candidates out there than the guy Foley chose.
I hope I am wrong but filling our roster with 3 stars will become the norm with our program.
The best is behind us folks and just in time for a big time arena that we will have trouble paying for in the future

Ucla has definitely lost its luster. I've seen that place pretty empty over the pastvfew years. Not to mention Steve alford's seat is red hot. I can't remember the last time vatech made the tourney. I just don't get it.

Maybe Bart is right and the goals here are visit VPISU as his cousin wants, see Hollywood, let UF recruit him again and then sign with UF.
