He is listed on their website as being number 32, not 0. I think most of their games are recorded on that same website, and personally, I enjoy seeing game tape. Highlight reels are nice, but not realistic. Players make mistakes, even the best ones, and the best way to evaluate a player is to see good and bad.
Yeah he is 0 in the video and that is the newest game footage on the team which might be one of the first games of the season which I know he wasn't fully healthy then. But I agree actual game footage shows you the most and its what you can really judge a player off of. Highlights show potential of great moments. Unfortunately in that game video I didn't see much out of him in this footage at all. He was really a non factor in the game which surprised me when I watched it because of the numbers I had heard he was putting up.
 
Here's an unlikely scenario we're missing. I'll call it the Keith LeGree rule. If you happen to play baseball also and got drafted out of HS you can play in the minors and the organization that drafted you pays your full ride to college. No Scholly needed. LeGree did this for two years and Amir Williams education at SJU is being paid for by the Reds right now actually.

Just a thought.

A good thought.
 
I thought the same thing, but watching it again, he could be 32. On the roster, it says 2012-2013 and the other info is accurate, why would he switch numbers?
0 is Strickland the announcers even say its him after he gets a rebound or something no doubt about it 0 is 100% Strickland in that video whether it changed during the season or if there is a typo on the roster. Now you have to watch it again and evaluate the real player we are getting. But I will be honest I wouldn't waste you time its really not impressive at all which is why I would love to get some new footage of the kid

What he doesn't realize is that karma works both ways, as we have come so close to landing top targets with St. John's landing them instead, so with karma, this was our turn.

So which incoming recruit plays 2 sports good enough he can get a scholarship in another sport at UC? :D

Wow, that Zagoria sounds like a huge douche. Who would really say that? Sounds like he needs to ween off his mommy's left tit.

I don't think were missing that. The recruits are not being drafted for baseball. Though I'm a little surprised that Calipari hasn't tried to pay the reds to draft players he is interested in. Maybe that is why he did that Reds speal last year....and maybe that's what Lavin did with Garrett (fyi Amir Williams plays at O$U).

no kiddin. I somewhat defended him for his first comments but this one is way out of line. Get over it dude. Wishing ill will on a high school player?
 
I have wondered if Zagoria gets any benefit or bonuses from Nike?...he has really attacked a local kid for pursuing what the kid thinks is best for his future...I just wonder if Zagoria would be as harsh if Lawrence has chosen a Nike school...

That was a retweet by BearcatNation. The original tweet by Zagoria did not include "idontbelieveinkarma". It ended with cincy.

I think Zagoria edited it. For starters there were comments made to Zagoria about how pathetic his tweet was and second why would BearcatNation add the karma piece?

Here's BearcatNation's tweet:

Chris Bains ‏@Bearcats_Nation
"@AdamZagoria: .@mainestory fouls out w/ 5 pts and 5 rebs in 1st game since committing to Cincy" idonotbelieveinkarma idonotbelieveinkarma

The idonotbelieveinkarma part is outside of the quotes that he used to reference Zagoria's tweet. Think that was just a part Bearcats_Nation added on himself, for whatever reason.

Maybe you are right, I'm not actually a twitter user. If Zagoria didn't post that then I'm not sure why others attacked him on twitter. And I'm not sure why bearcatsnation would post the karma part, but who knows I guess.
 
If Lawrence was their top recruit from the start, why did the bearcats over commit players? Maybe just wait until he made his decision. What was the logic in their thinking
