  • Smoker recap...

    Lariat Club last nite with Les, Weber and 200+ hoops fans and ALOT of smoke. Now that the dust has cleared here's a quick recap of BU/JL and what I recall. More to follow as my head clears.

    Sigled out JC as the most improved. Mentions Salley as legit contributor with his overall game. Has skills to score, rebound, play D..whatever is needed.

    Sings Rufs praises more than anybodies though. He's ready to lead and has worked very hard and gotten much better.

    He's glad we are not guard weak. Would NOT expand on what kind of play and team to expect when asked...VERY secretive. Said "buy seasons tics or be at the R/W if you want to know".

    REALLY sounds like he's got something special in store for us....hmmmmm

    In hard on recruits "above"us and doesn't have to do a hard sell and educate them about BU...last year took care of that. Even has had calls TO BU from recruits.

    Pushing HARD for a Depaul sellout. Wants the place to celebrate LAST year AND be a force (home crowd) against Depaul.

    I get the impression the staff MIGHT just be getting it as far as mkt and atmosphere at the arena. We'll see.....cannot let this momentum die.

    When queeried by me about Egolf and Alaska compared to Mo's "short" trips to Canada said an old NBA contact that has no electricity, modern convienences in his alaskan hide-away SOMEHOW found a cell phone and gave JL a call. He said, "Jimmy I got a kid I really think you should look at'. The rest is history.

    Then he stopped because (I forgot) that WE is NOT signed yet and JL said "I really can't say anymore about him."

    When asked how he landed Warren from Indy.....said he called Bweb and asked how to recruit Indiana guards

    The contact who lives in a wilderness cabin on an island in Alaska, but who still works out with the locals is Mark McNamara, who we talked a little about when Egolf was in the news.
    Nice to have those kinds of guys like McNamara and Coach Corn looking out for us.

      good report dogrus. i thought each coach had about the same number of questions asked to them and both spoke about the same about of time.

      was great to see them both in a relaxed atmosphere. they really had everyone laughing with their sense of humor. good stuff. good night. recommend to anyone.the mc was dan deorio who did an excellent job.sportswriters were dave reynolds, gary childs and one other i believe.

        I asked Jim personally, how DeArron Williams was progressing academically. He said, Just fine.
        Also, JL believes we will be just fine if-------None of THE BIGS get injured and they stay out of foul trouble.With Zach's aggressiveness that could be a problem.
        That Zach places rebounding above scoring!

        When asked about "players behaving badly" Weber said he goes to bed every Friday and Saturday night praying the phone does not ring! He also said 3 other athletes, probably in lesser sports, had DUI incidents and nothing was said in the press!

          Gordon

          I'd be curious to know if anyone had the guts to ask Weber about Gordon and what, if any, his response was................

            Until a recruit signs, they can't technically talk about him. Hence the reason the Egolf answer got cut short.
