rodney hood sources?

^There is an ESPN Insider article on the NCAA BB page. I don't have insider so I don't know the details.

5/15/2012 11:33:23 AM

if we land him, them I WILL be getting an CJL at Bojangles for dinner.

5/15/2012 11:33:37 AM

nah, i'm holding faith in this one. hope it's true, would just solidify gott's abitlity to recruit high caliber talent out of state...and compete with the big boys (osu, nova, kentucky, duke)

only 4.5 hrs to go

Between Jefferson and Hood, I'm guessing that 1 ends up at State and the other goes to Duke. And honestly, you can't go wrong with either. Jefferson can provide frontcourt depth immediately, but Hood is a proven commodity. I guess Jefferson would be better because we are thin in the frontcourt going into this year, but I'm not convinced that he is a better player than Hood.

Here ya go:

Quote :

"When we last wrote about Rodney Hood, we updated the five schools where Hood is contemplating a transfer: Ohio State, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina State, and Baylor. According to Bob Baptist of the Columbus Dispatch, Hood was supposed to visit Columbus this past weekend but did not make the trip. While the wing plans to reschedule the visit, there is no official date marked on the calendar. There are two ways to view this announcement; one is that Hood will indeed visit the Ohio State campus in the near future. The other -- a more pessimistic outlook -- is that Hood didn't make the trip because he will no longer consider Ohio State as a transfer destination. However, at the moment, Hood has said he will reschedule, so we will keep an eye out for any news regarding a visit. Since Ralston Turner announced he would transfer to NC State, and Amile Jefferson is reportedly deciding between the Wolfpack and Duke, we wonder if NC State will be cut from Hood's list. With Turner (and potentially Jefferson) on the squad, the Wolfpack are at the scholarship limit; if Mark Gottfried were to add Hood, there would have to be some roster turnover at the ACC program. There was a rumor floating around recently that since Hood finished the semester at Mississippi State, perhaps he would reconsider his transfer. Per Matthew Stevens of the Commercial Dispatch, that is untrue; Hood will still transfer, but wanted to finish out his semester in Starkville. To further emphasis the unlikelihood Hood remains at MSU, Stevens reports new coach Rick Ray has encouraged the squad to play pickup against Hood "...b/c we can't be with them.""

when the dust settles, i will eat a CJL for every new recruit

5/15/2012 11:40:05 AM

Insider is wrong. Even if we sign Jefferson, we have another scholarship to give.

5/15/2012 11:40:22 AM

yeah thanks for not making me count. i was pretty sure...

5/15/2012 11:45:39 AM

moose's source is a guy who buys tickets

i thought long prior to posting the info...but figured what the hell. your right my source does just buy tickets, albeit very expensive ones, and rounds of golf for gottfried, and where ever the hell else he spends his 6 figure donations.

doesn't matter to me, just figured i would pass the info along.

we shall soon see where the chips fall

5/15/2012 11:54:18 AM

bet he eats at finch's all the time

5/15/2012 11:55:39 AM

Is the scholarship limit 13 or 14 (or 12, just thought it was higher)? Because even if Jefferson commits that will only be 11.

5/15/2012 11:59:03 AM

I swear they said on 620 the buzz this morning that Amile moved his announcement time up from 4pm to 2pm

5/15/2012 11:59:22 AM

You ass

5/15/2012 12:00:34 PM

for the record, what is a CJL as Bojangles again? Want to make sure I order the right thing

5/15/2012 12:02:06 PM

Order the Deal With It instead. It's a CJL w/ a pair of shades

so if i go to bo's on western and ask for a CJL, they'll know what i'm talking about right?

Finch's is damn delicious, especially hungover. In fact, I don't think I've been to Finch's not hungover.

5/15/2012 12:08:28 PM

I like how Packpride is trying to make it seem like there's a lot of indecisiveness on twitter

5/15/2012 12:08:34 PM

Why do you guys always hate on PackPride?

5/15/2012 12:11:03 PM

I wonder if fabalus knows the inside scoop.

5/15/2012 12:15:03 PM

^^^ there is. None of the experts have a clue where he's going

5/15/2012 12:20:13 PM

Coach Gottfried was in my dream last night tellin me we gott this

5/15/2012 12:20:52 PM

I wasn't hating on PP and no one on here really does either. If there's one gripe I have about it, it's the people who post on their boards. That's really it.

I was only saying that PP is sending all these dodgy tweets that make it seem that it could go either way when they know damn well what's going to happen.

5/15/2012 12:21:19 PM

in browsing, lot of folks on rivals premium think that coaches were in fact notified on saturday, and that Amile is committing to state...

5/15/2012 12:22:02 PM

Had a dream I fucked a girl from my freshman dorm. Seems like a good sign for Amile coming to state.

Do you really think PP knows more than Telep or Daniels??

5/15/2012 12:24:07 PM

No, they all know the same info. They just don't say any specifics out of respect for the kid. Give Amile his moment.

5/15/2012 12:25:24 PM

Just got back from the game.

Amile to San Jose State.

5/15/2012 12:30:10 PM

nah

5/15/2012 12:30:14 PM

see ya'll at 4.

5/15/2012 12:30:55 PM

^^^^^ if that was really the case (which i don't think it is) then we have him... because if he wasn't coming here pp would be like "FUCK THIS DOUCHE WE DIDN'T NEED HIM ANYWAY"

[Edited on May 15, 2012 at 12:31 PM. Reason : up up and away!]

lol

5/15/2012 12:34:14 PM

Corch's tweets imply we have it in the bag, he is about as reliable as they come fwiw

5/15/2012 12:39:28 PM

So the CJL has ham ...

And the Amile will have bacon if he commits....

The TOB has shades ...

And the Richard Howell has a beard...

Are we in agreement here?

[Edited on May 15, 2012 at 12:41 PM. Reason : ]

5/15/2012 12:39:42 PM

wait, Ham AND bacon?

5/15/2012 12:43:27 PM

No. Bacon instead of ham

he is just a recruit so he can't be more prestigious than CJL


Tyler Lewis is an unassuming, but very fresh and delish, plain biscuit

I think I'll make a cookout tray in honor of Amile.

1 BBQ Sammich
1 Side of Onion Rings
1 Corn Dog

Place stick of Corn Dog through the BBQ Sammich and throw the onion rings around the corn dog as a garnish. Maybe add a candle or sparkler for effect.

Wash it down with a sweet tea or based shake.

5/15/2012 12:54:47 PM

3 hours, and counting...

5/15/2012 12:57:05 PM

This is the funniest page in the last 100

5/15/2012 12:57:47 PM

Sounds delightful. So its settled then.

5/15/2012 12:57:53 PM

If you order the Amile, it takes a few months to get it

5/15/2012 1:01:15 PM

Amile has decided to delay his decision until June.

5/15/2012 1:01:45 PM

I'm gonna go take a 3 hour nap.

in situations like this i definitely do. the packpride staff covers everything state basketball does, and is a lot more likely to get a wink and a nudge from one of the coaches than a national recruiting reporter.

5/15/2012 1:09:41 PM

God, I hope he commits!
