PJS Report on Matt Roth

[tornado]

Today the PJ Star has a report on Matt Roth eliminating SLU and narrowing his choices to just IU & BU.
This was not in today's paper, but was posted online at 10:18AM today.

PS-- here are some rumors and speculation I found on some of the other schools' premium sites.

--- some of the Indiana posters saw Kyle Kuric on campus and in Bloomington, Indiana today. That can mean only one thing...that Kelvin Sampson certainly is worried he may NOT get Matt Roth and is trying to be sure he has a backup plan.

---several people on the UNC (North Carolina) premium board are making the call that Tyler Zeller and Iman Shumpert are both going to declare for UNC.
If so, that is another hit for Sampson and if Zeller is leaning away from IU, then it might be one less reason Matt Roth would consider IU.

There is now strong sentiment among the Indiana insiders that they will lose their top target, Ty Zeller, to North Carolina. Supposedly, the rumor is that Zeller has told friends he will declare for UNC.

Zeller is good friends with Matt Roth. If he isn't going to Indiana, it has to improve Bradley's chances just a little. Maybe?

(note where he's standing on the last 3-pointer shown in this video )



Lastly, it looks from this report that Matt Roth is keeping true to his word....after being burned by one web-blogger....now it seems he just isn't talking to these guys.

also, in cutting Saint Louis off his list, it appears Matt Roth has severed ties with Porter Moser. Maybe his relationaship there wasn't as strong as the ISU people would have had you believe.
