Hoops- rumor has Michael Snaer announcing on Wednesday

[Russ Smith]

Latest rumor seems to be he'll announce Wed, supposed to be between Kansas, Florida State and Marquette, apparently UCLA and Missouri are either last of the 5 or completely out depending on who you listen to.

Jim Basnight is reporting Moser to UCLA but everyone else says he hasn't decided yet and might not decide for awhile yet.

 

[Russ Smith]

he confirmed he cut Missouri and UCLA off his list. And now it's being reported he's postponed the announcement that was set for Wed.

Very talented kid, a more athletic Afflalo type, very good defender, can shoot with range. But his AAU coach is a pain in the neck and I'm not at all surprised this announcement is being dragged out longer.

Both Dominic Cheek and Henry are waiting till spring. I didn't want to say anything about Snaer as to not jinx.

yep. Rumor is Snaer postponed because his school is closed tomorrow and they couldn't get arrangements made to do the announcement in a closed school. So it's supposed to be thurs or Fri. I have no clue where he's going, nobody does. his AAU coach said yesterday that Missouri and UCLA were NOT eliminated, Snaer said they were. I haven't believed UCLA was in it for awhile now but anybody that says they know where he's going is lying.

Really good player. I think Henry was going to Memphis until the car accident, now I think he's decided to sit back and see what happens. You have to wonder if seeing Calipari's name come up immediately for the UA job(he insists he's not a candidate) didn't impact Henry? Maybe he's thinking I don't want to commit and then have him leave.

For every published report on Henry to MEM I've read another that says Henry to KU. In fact it usually reads like "Sources say Henry leaning towards Kansas. Of course he could still pick Memphis" and vice versa.

If the rumors of Cal to UofA have affected his decision then the internets have done their job

I haven't paid a ton of attention to Henry because I knew he wasn't seriously considering UCLA despite having tehm on his list.

I have noticed that most of the recent Henry to Kansas stuff I've seen, comes from "the shiver.com" which is a kansas site. I still say in the end he'll go to Memphis to play with his brother. I think he's doing everything he can to claim that's not a consideration, but will ultimately do it.

If you're a Memphis fan you sure hope so, their monster 2009 recruiting class has not come to fruition, for a variety of reasons. Looked like Wall was probably going then his mom has a stroke. Looked good for Henry, then the accident.

If they don't get Henry their class will wind up fairly ordinary. And it's looking like thier 08 class might end up that way, it apparently is quite possible that neither Angel Garcia or Matt Simpkins will qualify, their fans are seeming quite discouraged on both kids' chances.

Basnight is a joke. Probably about 90% of his predictions are not good. I heard Moser is going to wait until the spring to sign.

Basnight is a genius. Ages ago he picked Gaddy to UW, Gaddy committed to UA. Then he decommitted and again Basnight said he's going to UW, again he picked UA. then lute retired and he again said he's going to UW, this time Gaddy verballed to UW, and now Basnight insists he was right all along.

I too have heard that Moser wants to wait until spring but there's been some talk that he's a bit worn out from the recent deluge since he decommitted from UA and he might commit early. UCLA is recruiting him as a 2, apparently they see that as his ultimate position, he's also got Oregon State, Oregon, USC and of course UA after him, and apparently Stanford and Cal are trying to get in on him.

Oregon State is getting an interesting push, with Obama winning the election having his brother in law as your head coach is giving OSU sudden umph with some recruits apparently.

Looks like Snaer is going to announce Friday on tv possibly.

Supposed to be on ESPNU, which most of the country can't get unless they have Directv.

I was able to watch UCLA vs Prairie View last night on ESPNU because it was streamed on the internet, not sure if that will be the case tonight against Miami of Ohio.

No idea where Snaer is going, his AAU coach said Tuesday that UCLA and Missouri were out, then told someone from a Missouri scout site that they had not eliminated either Missouri or UCLA. I think his AAU coach just likes to see his name in print(Koolaid Perry).

Very good player.

 

[DWKB]

"Reports" and "sources" are he's FSU bound. We'll see how true they are in 24 hours or so.

 

[Russ Smith]

Sorry but he picked Florida State.

 

[DWKB]

All hopes sit with Cheek and X.

 

[DWKB]

Henry to Memphis. Guess that means Cal is staying put Wildcat fans. *sigh* today sucks.

No matter how many times he denied it, as soon as his brother picked Memphis you had to assume he was going there too.

Cheek is still in play. Is KU still in it for Wall? Memphis fans seem to think Baylor, Oklahoma State and NC State are the leaders. NC State to be near his mom(Had a stroke), Baylor for hiring his AAU coach, and OK State for whatever reason.

 

[DWKB]

Cheek's still in the mix, but Nova is a strong possibility.

Wall is still around (Ok St?) but NC State, Memphis, and Baylor are other schools in play.

Lance Stephenson is still there but off court issues make him not as attractive a recruit.

The wing is where we're weakest, which is why Henry is such a loss. Well that and the LONG recruitment/legacy issues.

We still have EJ and Robinson out of this class which is great. I was just hoping for an all-time great class. A 2005 repeat.

Big announcement due today for ex UA commit Mike Moser. Supposedly he was down to UCLA and USC but his mom told Brian Dohn of the Daily News there's a 3rd team he likes that might be a factor. It's thought to be Oregon State he's from Oregon and apparently the Obama factor is making their new coach Craig Robinson a bit of a cult idol.

UCLA wants Moser for the 2, USC wants him to add to their collection of swingmen, OSU just wants a talented player.
