He decommitted from USF and opened it up.

Need to see the date of the article. As of 4/12 he chose S. Florida over several schools including Cincinnati. To commit on the 12th and reopen in 2-3 days wouldn't set a precedent but certainly is a tad unusual. Just want to make sure we post accurate info. I have a request out to validate this but as of yet have heard nothing back.

No worries. Just thought maybe the paper pulled it when they learned it was incorrect. Of course, you were correct that he did decommit and after reading why, I am not surprised. Did anyone else read the comments where USF fans were ripping the kid, his mom, and any other school recruiting him (namely UC and Mick Cronin)? It kind of reminded me of reading comments on the enquirer website. Old and obnoxious. They hinted at saying Mick is a terrible human being and no other coaching staff could possibly care about the kid except USF. They also hinted at other schools offering him money (like UC). Sorry but if UC was offering recruits money, we would have the number 1 prospect from this year and next year already locked up. :D

As far as the recruit goes, he seems like a decent player though I don't know much about him. I like the fact we could have him for 3 years and that he already shoots close to 40% from 3. We still would need a sharpshooter in this class but if this kid is athletic (which he seems to be) I will take him in a heartbeat.
 
Poland would be a really good get. He has 3 years of elgibility left because he redshirted last year.

As mentioned he shot 38 % for beyond the arc.

He was Freshman of the year in his conference. He is 6'4 which makes him more appealing because he will be able to get his shots off.

An underrated part of his game is his ability to drive to the hoop. He can get to the goal easily.

Big East and Big XII schools were recruiting him the hardest.
 
It's very difficult to find info on Jawanza's recruitment. As mentioned earlier, there was a scholly offer extended. I'll keep digging.
 
Poland on his game: “I believe that I play like a D-Wade slash Kobe (Bryant). I like to shoot, but I also like to get to the basket. I can pass off the dribble, and I can pass as I attack the rim. I am all about winning. I have a winning attitude and I will do whatever I need to do to win. I get most my points off fastbreaks dunking off steals, but I have a good shot and shot 40-percent from the three." — Source/OUInsider.com
 
Stats/Notes: Redshirted this past season after transferring to Hutchinson Junior College. As a freshman, Poland was the Jayhawk Conference Freshman of the Year at Cowley Community College where he averaged 13.8 points and 3.6 rebounds. He also hit 35 of his 83 three-point attempts (35 percent) and 112 of his 160 free throw attempts (76 percent). Played at Wichita East High School. Will enter college next season and have three years of eligibility remaining.

Not too much info out on him. The Sooner Hoops boards are about as chatty as the Xavier football ones. Oh, my bad.

His redshirt was by transfer rule and not by decision of coaches....correct?
