So is there any press or confirmation that this kid actually committed other than the posters on this site?

No confirmation, but not surprising, since schools are not allowed to comment on recruits until they sign or are enrolled. But he has verbally committed.Comment

No confirmation is not surprising? seems like a bizarre statement. So was it unusual or out of the ordinary when there were stories of walter lemon committing? or donivine stewart?
every commit i know of is confirmed in local papers, scout, rivals, espn, etc, regardless of the coach or school being able to comment.
Kid seems like he has potential, its just there is nothing that says he's committed.Comment

This kid is from another country. It makes a bit of a difference. I haven't been reading their local papers in the Canarias.
If what you are saying is true, then how did we know that Anthony Cousin verballed to Illinois State on or before April 1st?-
And here is the first mention of the kid's name in the BN media, nearly a week later-
As I said, the school cannot talk about a recruit until they have a signed LOI, of he enrolls or signs a scholarship agreement, so there won't be any confirmation until this happens.Comment

I know everyone is worried about getting MO but doesnt it say something that he did not sign a LOI with any other school? It would seem to me his verbal is good and the only worry is getting him cleared by the NCAA.........Comment

fair point on cousins coach. we did have his facebook page, but you're right, no official confirmation till he signed.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostThis kid is from another country. It makes a bit of a difference. I haven't been reading their local papers in the Canarias.

not sold on the you're not reading the newspapers from the canary islands...the internet proliferates the information regardless of where its originally from. (i tried to check through those papers specifically though and didn't see anything.
i wasn't trying to start anything, just trying to size up competition and see if there was any new confirmation. the combo of him and the new kid davis gives you guys some serious size and beef down low for fouls if nothing else their first year.Comment

I agree that I believe he wants to still come and play for BU, hopefully he gets cleared soon so he can get in on summer session 2.Originally posted by mexicobufan View PostComment

yeah, but we also heard that JW was still coming and we all know how that ended up. I still hope MO comes, but i'm not gonna fret over it. i hope AD can be some help but i think we still have a good team and should do some amazing things next year.Comment

Something just doesn't feel right re the MO recruiting saga.
If this were a simple matter of confirming scholastic accomplishments, or, vetting amateur status, don't understand the total media blackout, lack of any info from the kid or his handlers, or any info from the NCAA. From everything I read, other off shore players have come into US college programs from this high school/prep school organization..
I also don't buy into the NCAA conspiracy thing about BU recruiting off shore players vs major program schools. Gonzaga has recruited extensvely off shore and isn't considered a "major" school, or from a "major conference". Haven't heard/seen anything about NCAA jerking them around....
I think the default mode is MO has not committed to BU yet, unlike JW who publicaly stated he wanted to play for BU before dumping BU for ISU.
It will be a flat out recruiting coup/bonus if MO ends up committing to the Braves. I hope he decides BU is his best option so we can give him the attention he deserves!BUilding for the Future

Yeah.....but the fact that his prep academy had sent so many other kids to D-1..makes you optimistic that they work similar situations out.Originally posted by RedSeaElite1 View Post

Awfully quiet on the MO front.
Can't seem to find anything about MO on the Internet re college recruiting, at least on the free sites...
Any good rumors floating around?
Is no news good news for the Braves re this possible recruit?BUilding for the FutureComment
