bb recruiting

Greg Swaim says Dastrup will commit to BYU this week! He is as good as ours!

"Just got an e-mail from someone who should know that #BYU will likely get some very good basketball news from Dastrup later this week!!"

So his timing was off but not surprised to see Swaim was ultimately correct.

Here is a google doc I just saw on twitter of all the rosters through 2020.

Am I the only one around here who thinks the effect the result of a single game on a recruit is way overstated by fans? I don't know how many people I've seen who are speculating that the Stanford win had something to do with Dastrup's change of heart.

It seems ridiculous to me. A kid goes through a long period of recruiting, talks with dozens of coaches, makes visits to schools, narrows down the list, talks with tons of people, and spends hours thinking about the decision, he finally decides on Ohio State (in what appears to have been a very close decision over BYU), holds a press conference where he announces his commitment, but then because BYU beats Stanford on the road, he changes his mind?

To me, this sort of speculation is a litmus test for fan delusion.

You tell them, SoCal! Delusional indeed.

By the way, what is the latest update on Bigfoot?

The Stanford result had nothing to do with Dastrups decision.

These are 18 yo kids. Do you have teenage kids? They're not always the most rational.

I recall Dastrup was rated a lot higher in the past. Injury?

lol @ the ute coach bribing students to attend games. You hated that Boylen would give them pizza, now the students are getting cash. I am sure your blood is boiling.

But they're not imbeciles.

You must have a different experience than me as a parent.

I think you are getting really carried away with this point.
