    Oh, no not at all. I definitely think parting ways with him was the right move.

    Yeah, I know who you mean. Whatever.

    I don't know about "game changing" though. Wasn't a for sure one way or the other.

    If you're talking about the same kid I am, I have no problem assuring that he would've been a VERY valuable addition. One of the most solid and unique high school basketball players I've seen. No use worrying about it now.

    I'm guessing you are referring to DVR. I'm curious to hear how likely he was to choose XU over GTown but for the Wells scandal. That said, I have no doubt it had some degree of effect on his decision. I don't see how it could not have. I know it would have mattered to me.

    He is referring to Villanova freshman Kris Jenkins.

    Not denying that he would have been a valuable addition...just not a for sure that he was coming to us whether there was the Dez issue or not.

    Yep, same kid.

    I think that we have now filled the spot that the kid in question would have filled...with arguably more depth...but a year later.

    Jenkins is a PF who would have competed for time with Reynolds. I call Jenkins a Dejuan Blair type of player, short but a big body. Yes a valuable addition but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

    Jenkins is better than anybody we have at the 3.

    Arizona,
    I thought Jenkins was a 3. I could be wrong.

    I saw your post after I posted.

    I am sure, for whatever it's worth.

    Dejuan Blair was arguably the best PF in the country and led a top 5-10 team all year long. I don't lose sleep over recruiting either, but I wouldn't downplay how good a pickup Jenkins would've been.

    On behalf of the whole board, we'd like to show our token of appreciation for GoMuskie's Snarky Ass Post Number 12,000! It's been a long time coming, but we finally got here.
