If we land E-Vic, Harris Teeter needs to up their contributions.
Cautiously Optimistic.
Looks like maybe w/ Derrio as wellā¦
He still planning to announce tomorrow? Pretty big decision for us, would be a tremendous get for Major.

Was originally supposed to be tomorrow (His birthday), but he changed it to Saturday.
per ESPNās on the trail:
He will decide on October 30th. His list is down to: Charlotte, Colorado, Wichita State, DePaul and Georgia Southern
There isnt a program on there that scares meā¦I like our chances.
The fact that heās tweeting with Mayfield and Derrio makes me very confident.
So just recap for me, why do we want this guy so much? Seems like there is a lot of love for him on here; almost TL status. Iām just asking this out of ignorance, not trying to knock him or anything. I miss the days when I could just talk to Kyle Church about it and Iād know everything a few days before it happened.
He has said in the past that the relationship with coaching staff is very impt to him. Hopefully, thats good news for us.
Because we have a legit chance to get him. Heāll be the second coming of Eddie Basden if we land him, surely you know this already.

ESPN has him ranked a 95 and #81 overall and Rivals has him at #133.
I think people are mostly excited because Major has never coached a game and he has a great chance to lock up a consensus top 150 player after the mediocrity our program has endured the last 5 seasons. Gives hope that recruiting will be better with him at the helm.

He isnāt like our most recent SF who are good at one thing and one thing only. He has an all around game and could make an immediate impact for us at the SF position.
is having a shooting forward that can shoot to much to ask for?
[quote=ācibik02, post:174, topic:23321ā]is having a shooting forward that can shoot to much to ask for?[/quote]SF stands for Small Forwardā¦
I knowā¦ got my s messed upā¦ but i still hold by my statement
Rivals blurb:
Nickerson likes that Colorado is moving to the Pac-10. He likes the facilities at Wichita State and DePaul, and is intrigued with Charlotte because they told him he can play whatever position he wants.
recent blurb:
āIt just kind of clicked after sitting down and talking with my mom after coming back from all my official visits,ā he said. āIt was really the relationship I had with the coaching staff that stood out.ā
old quote on his visit w/ us:
"With Charlotte, I thought they had a great campus and I got along with the coaching staff there real well," said Nickerson, a Rivals150 member. "I bonded with their players. So everything there was pretty good.
first recruit in a long time I am excited aboutā¦been told so many times you get apathetic
Sounds promising, and I like the schools weāre recruiting against. It really looks like heās a kid who wants to go where heās wanted and where it is best for him. He could be a star at any of the 4 schools heās considering. Just hope his best decision is the best decision for us also. Would be nice to have a solid SF coming in.
