'14 CO PG Josh Perkins (Verbal to Gonzaga)

Relax, I saw it, just having a little fun. I'd guess Collier was one, since he's been at damn near every home game. I haven't seen it posted anywhere else though.
so was i :lol:
Who's your Daaaaaaady, CSEwe!
Not sure about the others with him. They could have been his friends or other recruits. The only one I recognized was Josh.
And that kind of goes against what others have said
Who? just tifwiw, he does seem very close to both of them. I think he was posting about them when they were in middle school. He kinda also made it seem like Perkins is slightly favoring KU
I wonder how skewed PAE's opinion is by the fact they didn't want to play on the same AAU team and made that known?
That's a different type of thing. With that, you're showcasing your skills and also developing them. You need to be the man to maximize your recruiting. So it would make total sense to want to be able to dominate the ball and run the team. In college, no matter where you go, you're going to have a backcourt mate who you share the ball and spotlight with. To use the current CU team and past teams as examples, neither Burks nor Higgins were hurt by playing together and sharing the spotlight. It actually made them better. Same goes for Spencer & Ski right now.
Bottom line: NCAA ain't AAU.

PAE seems closer to Perkins than Dom, but he's consistently said they won't play together in college for a year or so now. The thing I liked is he said Josh may be swayed by the “glamour" of playing for Kansas or Arizona, where he can be in the limelight every year. Didn't we just beat Arizona... again? I guess I don't see that big of a difference in the programs right now. Tradition? Sure. But right now? Nope.

I am a Lobo fan and will be in the PIT tonight to welcome Josh Perkins to Albuquerque. It is sold out and we are playing Boise State. We are in first place in our conference and have an rpi of 4 and sos of 4. I really don't know if Josh Perkins will commit to New Mexico but he his a fine young man with great character and whoever gets him will be very lucky. I think if CU gets him he will really help your program. He is really an outstanding player. We are gonna do everything we can to make him feel welcome. I love all the Colorado teams when they are not playing New Mexico.
Solid post. Let's keep it positive. Love your arena and respect your program.
Perk needs to stay home, though. :smile2:
Agree, and unfortunately for the Lobos, they cannot keep him in the arena. Not much comparison to Boulder!
Agreed. The Pit is nice, but that's about it.
That place (town) really is a POS. The club section at their football stadium is pretty cool as well but not a lot of redeeming qualities there.
I just have a feeling that we see him in Boulder. Something special is building, this is a rebuilding year and we will be dancing and had a shot at the 6/7 seed had we won out at home and split the Bay trip. Next year we will be a top 15 team if Spencer and Dre return and his family will get to see him play.
Crazy to think that for as exciting as this team is this year, that we are just touching the surface of what we will see in the coming years.
Harrison was I believe.
Yup. Also, Harrison, Chauncy and Martice Moore ('92) are our only McD All Americans.

wouldn't surprise me either, it also doesn't surprise some big time fan is confident they're going to get him.
Both New Mexico and Gonzaga fans seem very confident they can get Perkins. KU fans more concerned with Randle, Wiggins, Tyrus Jones among others to care much one way or the other on Perkins.
I do think New Mexico, Gonzaga, CU are all better spots for Perkins then KU would be.

tyus jones will be a dukie when its all said and done.
Agreed, but don't think KU fans see it that way, yet.

I'm convinced that anyone who spends time in Spokane would look for any other options.
