Florida was just something in the back of my mind considering it's his home state and they did lose a lot of experienced players this year. For some reason, I was under the impression his talent level is closer to high-major than Charlotte or BU. Guess I was way off!???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12 -
Charlotte is not a bad choice. They recruit and play a lot of jucos. Lutz had 5 jucos on his roster this season. And if Coley signs, that will make 3 more jucos this recruiting class (they already have signed Dijuan Harris and Lamont Mack).
But I don't see any confirmation that he has signed his LOI. If he had, and you would think Charlotte would have had him do that while he was on campus, they should be touting that.Comment

Correct....I haven't seen anything official yet either, but the two sources on their board are said to be 97% reliable. Guess that leaves us 3%. I'll take it at this point. Also, the Mack signing is what makes CC's choice even more interesting. I figured that would hurt their chances if anything.Originally posted by Da Coach???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again.

It's likely he did commit there with those reports. But I heard he told several of the Bradley players he would be committing to Bradley when he was here. But then he told the coaches he intended to return home, discuss things with his father, and make his final visit before he decided. So maybe he might not have actually signed, and went home to discuss it with his family again. We should know in the next couple days.Comment

Wow... I wonder how many scholarships Charlotte had available? They have already signed five players for the 2007-2008 season and that does not include Coley if in fact he did sign this weekend. Then again.....Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

Their roster page shows 6 seniors who would be leaving. I am not sure how many of them were scholarship players, or if they have any redshirt players who are not listed on the roster page.--
Plus they had 2 underclass players leave.--

According to their forum page, they had two scholarships to give....Coley reportedly being one of them.
On a side note, the guy that covers Charlotte for their newspaper posted 20 minutes ago...."i do not have any Coley confirmation ... probably won't until morning".???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again.

Not saying I have any further confirmation, but perhaps Coley chose Charlotte over BU simply because of the talent difference.Originally posted by Da Coach
he possibly felt that at Charlotte he'd be the best player thay have and would guarantee lots of immediate playing time.
In contrast, if Coley came to BU where we have the MVC's two top returning scorers, maybe Coley thought he'd be fighting the freshmen and Matt Salley for playing time.
Who knows?Comment

Hey guys, I'm a Niners fan. I wanted to let you know that nothing has been released about Coley yet. There are sources that have stated on Ninernation.net that he committed to Charlotte, but nothing official yet. I know what it's like waiting on a guy like Coley so I wanted to remind you there is nothing official yet.Go Niners!Comment

Sounds like you're not too far off here DC. Still nothing official after one of their "deep insider" posters said it was a "DONE DEAL". We'll just have to keep waiting.Originally posted by Da Coach???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again.

From a source in Charlotte, I have learned that this is reportedly what has happened. The source said that they expect Coley's LOI today or tomorrow, but that Coley only gave a verbal over the weekend.
As ChevEE reports, nothing is official, yet.Comment

from Jim Utter (Charlotte Observer): Coley committed; awaiting his LOI, could come as early as today. story coming shortly???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12Comment

Yes, Jim is a great source and his info is very credible. I have seen crazy things happen with recruits (Michael Beasley), but it looks like he's headed to Charlotte. Wish y'all well in your search.Originally posted by shaunguthGo Niners!Comment

I hope we somehow still get CC, But if not I'd be happy with WK or Theron. For some reason I'm leaning towards Theron but nto completely sure why. I think its because I feel players like CC and Theron can be very succesful in the MVC. I think overall though I want the player who play Bradley Ball, the guy who passes up a good shot so his teammate can have a great shot. I would really also like a player who has that killer instinct that can win close games for a team.Originally posted by ChevEE
Let's hope for news of a CC, WK or Theron signing here soon.Comment
