I would think the opposite, since Kaiser is a Top 150 guy. We seem to like that group lately.

Nichols was Plan A.

Guy. Is. Horrible.

Couldn't agree more. I know we are extremely lucky to have Joe and Byron especially when I hear hoard. Its painful to listen to him.

Did Nichols even commit yet? Sometimes its better to take the date to the dance that says yes then wait for the one that is looking for something better.

He hasn't and that is pretty much why X took the commitment from Gates rather than wait on Nichols.

Take rankings for whatever they are worth but these two aren't far apart. However, I am having issues even finding Nichols in the top 150 on Rivals.

Yeah, they are very close in rankings between the ratings sites. I don't think Rivals has Nichols in their top 150. I think he is just a 3 star guy, unranked. I think Snow prefers Nicholas but Broering prefers Gates (if that's too much info from the pay board let me know so I can edit it out). So it's a toss up on who is more likely to pan out.

Not only is Hoard bad.......I can't stand listening to Bengals games ever since Johansen left.....but pair him with old looney toon for SucKs basketball and it is beyond horrible. I would have to be at games if I were a kittens fan.

OH Jeez... don't even go down the road of Chuck Maycock or whatever his name is... I'm not a fan of Dan Hoard at all... but I'd take him any day over Chuck. I can't stand how he used to "talk" to Huggs during the game or yells/complains at referrees when they are obviously running by him or standing by the announcers table. Totally classless... the best thing to ever happen to that guy was to get thrown out of that tournament game.

Two good sources, I have access to both. I bet Gates is higher because of his height. It's one of the few things in basketball you just cannot teach or develop.
