He'd be a GREAT start to the 2016 class. What guards/wings wouldn't want to sign on with him?

From last night:

We aren't going to land any top recruits but you can't say Mick and his staff didn't at least try.

You can't tell a man by the song he sings.

Thanks Nostradamus.

I think we have a great shot here with Ward. Our competitors in his recruitment have all signed highly skilled and rated guys at his position. If it's playing time he values than we can offer the most.

Thanks Nostradamus.

When it comes to UC basketball, I am rarely wrong with my statements. Ward is a long shot...

Yancy Gates- 5* #22 player in the country when he committed.
Jermaine Lawrence- 5* #26 player in the country when he committed.
Lance Stephenson 5* #11 player in the country when he committed.

NICK WARD 4* #69 Nationally, don't see any reason why we can't get him...

Theres always a chance.

 

[ccmbearcat]

Since schools put out far more offers than available scholarships it is pretty easy to be "rarely wrong."

Brian Snow ‏@BSnowScout: Nick Ward has committed to Michigan State

Brian Snow ‏@BSnowScout: Nick Ward has committed to Michigan State

WOW!

 

[#BearcatNation]

That sucks. Didn't know he was going to commit early. I think there's a lot of pressure on landing Izundu and Rowsey, considering we're already out on most 2016 top 100 recruits.

NTS called it

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

NTS called it

Yeah, unfortunately this one wasn't that hard to call. Mick at least really did try.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Bummer. I thought he was waiting until the fall.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Michigan State got their man in Swanigan leaves UC in a power position with Ward.

Was UC really ever in a power position for Ward?

 

[Chad Brendel]

Was UC really ever in a power position for Ward?

Eh. Built a good relationship, but MSU was way out in front for a LONG time. End result was expected...

 

[TheLongHaul]

Shocker!

Being a recruiting analyst is a tough job and no one likes the "I told you so" person. No matter how many years you put into it, it's still taking an educated guess on the decision a 16-18 year old kid is going to make
