What a long drawn out wait for nothing. On the plus side, I am really happy that I can stop tracking this thread.

I look forward to JJ swatting him multiple times.

It will be interesting to see if Mick tries to fill the 2 scholarship slots this year or just tries to go big in 2013-14.
 
I have not said to much on this topic, frankly because I dont care.

But I waited till his commitment came out, so ill say my thoughts now.

Didnt want this guy, dont want this guy, glad hes not coming. Dont care to have diva lbj on our team. The fact that people still followed his PATHETIC recruitment show was comical.

Wait, so you know he was a diva based on his recruitment but you didn't follow his recruitment?

And what about him was diva? He never spoke out to media, didn't hold some big press conference, etc. Nothing he did was diva like. Some have a serious case of sour grapes.

I told thegreatone months ago I didnt want him, so sour grapes, not so much.

The way he drew out is recruiting was pathetic.
 
I think you'll find more "best of luck, sorry he didn't choose here" types of posts as opposed to the sour grapes.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to come across like everyone was sour. I have maintained since I got here that this board is filled with more knowledgable fans than tools.
 
On the bright side Mick was able to convince 4 time NBA All-Star Kevin Johnson to become a Bearcat.

No worries, I totally got you meant. It's been fun debating/discussing with opposing team's fans.
 
Glad this fiasco is over. Time to focus on kids that want to be a part of this winning program. Best of luck to him, but I can't wait wait to face SJU now.
 
I'm bummed.

Maybe I'm bitter, but I don't wish him well or any success, why should I care about him or St. John's?

Mick's the bridesmaid again. He has good momentum for 2013 though!!!
 
I wonder how much that cost Lavin? Oops. And I wonder how much coin change was left for Chris after his handlers took the paper money and ran? Oops.

Anyway.

Kind of glad we can move on. Two great verbals the last few days. Things will probably continue in this direction and maybe we get 3 more guys, 2 stud bigs that carry this team beyond the two sweet sixteens they just came off of.

Preseason 18. Shaquille Thomas added to the mix. Titus Rubles. A hardworking improving S K. A healthy Cash. An improving stud in Parker. JJ ready to swat!

St. Johns who?

I think this thread should be officially locked. Let's move on.

You are saying Obekpa and handlers got paid based on what? I get this strange feeling that you would be doing the stiffy dance from cincy to Cleveland had Obekpa chose your squad. Welcome the opportunity to play St John's this year and be gracious. Nobody likes the guy who says he saw Bigfoot without the proof.

Everyone knows they got paid.

Mick has basically said this stuff behind the scenes. He won't directly accuse other programs, but he has firmly stated we don't go that route.

UC is a clean program and does things the right way. Lavin came up learning from a big time cheat, Harrick, and has cheated his way with recruits all the way back to UCLA. That's why he went the TV route to let things die down a bit. He'll get caught again.

Can't wait to see the UC players knock Obekpa around this year. I hope Obekpa gets in some games so we can "welcome" him to college ball with our unpaid players. :cool: Gonna be tough for Obekpa to get along with his teammates when they find out how much he's making. :D

Why does an SJU fan hang out on a UC board? I don't even know where an SJU message board is. You probably got booted from your own fan board. Comical to say the least.

I would offer you the St john's message boards but I'm scared that you will bring your superior knowledge to them. I have never been kicked off of any board including the one you currently soil . I was welcomed here because I brought something to the table and not litter the board with the gems you currently drop. When you have more than " Lavin is a cheater because Mick says so behind the scenes" I would love to hear it. I have said it before on this board and will say it again. Every major college basketball program pays players in one way or another. If you don't believe that then you are truly as bright as your posts indicate.
 
Life of recruiting- you win some, you lose some. We lost this one. Time to move on. Wish him the best of luck. Need to shore up that front line in 2013. A Woodson or Lawrence commitment would make me forget all about Mr. Obekpa. 2013 could be a program defining class....
 
I'd have been happy had he committed to UC, happy but wary - wouldn't want to be Khem Birch'd. That guy did a number on Pitt's season this year and I'll have a hard time believing otherwise.

Personally I don't have reason to believe Lavin is a cheat - Pitino either, actually. Calhoun is another story...
 
Don't see why we have to bad mouth an 18 year old.
It's his life decision, if it offends you that much, you're pretty damn pathetic.
I don't think a big who has troubles scoring on anything other than on oops and follow ups in transition, is that big of a deal.
No need to get personal or suggest he or his handlers got paid.
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. It doesn't concern us either way.
