...I know it's different for CU Bball due to the novelty, but let's not get too excited about a kid raving about his visit just yet. It's great news, yeah, but as a Duke fan, I've read plenty of reviews of official visits where the kids are just ecstatic about a spot. Next thing you know, they're going elsewhere.

Truf.

I'm worried about DePaul.

None taken.

I thought we would have had a hoops commit by now. We're still in position on a solid group of top 150 guys, though.

You da man Nik! Thanks for all the work you put in to the recruiting threads.

Rivals just released some bad news: http://colorado.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1141722

"I picked the Blue Demons because they are in a basketball conference and they fit my style of play perfectly," Larkin told Rivals.com. "I chose because I have a strong relationship with the coaches and they have a good relationship with my parents.

Worse, Larkin has developed a close friendship with Nickerson. Not looking good on that front either.

[GoBuffs!!]

Balls, I thought he would have been an exciting player to have.

could have been us...

so who is going to be our first recruit, we seem to be close grabbing a lot of good prospect but can't close the deal.

Sad news. From Jeff Goodman:

Brutal blow to DePaul as frosh Shane Larkin will not play for Oliver Purnell due to medical condition requiring him to be closer to home.

Don't be shocked if Shane Larkin winds up at Miami playing for Jim Larranaga.
