Only 1 scholarship available.
I'd pay admission to see the players-only pickup basketball game that weekend as Miller & Welsh face off for the scholly.
And what if he takes both?
It would mean that someone unexpectedly left the program in the next couple weeks.

I thought it would mean we have another player leaving after the season. I thought we were replacing Mills and Spencer.
Yeah. But we wouldn't know that between now and Oct 5. As it stands, Tad is making a very educated bet that Mayor will not return for his senior season.
I'm worried the tables are turned here. I think we have some selling to do for either player and I don't think having them here at the same time is the best way to do it. Hopefully Tad makes me eat some crow and he comes away from the weekend with a verbal (I want Miller but would be pretty happy with Welsh too).
The top two targets for the last scholarship visiting on the same weekend is a coincidence? No, Tad is too smart for that. They'll use this to put the pressure on and hopefully have one of the two committed before they leave Boulder.I don't know if them being here the same week is anything but a coincidence. Oregon is one of the best football teams in the country, and probably one of the best games to bring recruits in for. Should be a full Folsom. I'm sure they will both be aware of the other player, but it's not like Boyle is going to have them compete in a "Feats of Strength," for the open scholarship.
Would think that both players understand that you have to recruit multiple players for one scholarship, just like players have to research the different Universities available to find the best fit. Imagine Boyle and his staff has someone at #1, #2... but would think he'd take either of them, if he could convince them to make a commitment.

Perhaps someone (or multiple someones) is progressing and improving more than expected, and HCTB is anticipating another early entrant.
Xavier Johnson?
Dom Collier is taking Mills' scholarship I believe. Spencer is leaving early which opens a spot. Tad is looking for one of these guys to fall in love with Boulder. However, if both guys want to commit, I would guess someone is asked to transfer due to the lack of potential minutes. I wonder if using that last scholly this year and the year before was worth it.
Which, from early accounts, is definitely in play. Tad has done some work.The 2014 class within our footprint isn't all that great except for its depth at PG.
We've got a top PG and we'll add a pretty good PF or C prospect on top of that. That's fine for 2014.
The real big recruiting will be that 2015 class. Tons of talent out west and CU is in the mix for about a dozen big time prospects right now. A big year this season will set us up to sign a Top 25 class next November (Top 10 if we end up with the room to take 4 guys).
And, of course, 2016 is all about keeping De'Ron Davis home.

The Mayor and 'Ski are the only 2 juniors this coming season; Booker will prolly stay for his senior year. Johnson, Scott, Talton, and Stalzer are sophs this year; we've already opined that XJ or Jelly might jump early, and if that does happen, it looks like 3 schollies will be open. Do you think someone else is leaving?

Since the general consensus is that we will fill The Mayor's slot this year, there is only one guaranteed slot for next year, two if one of the guys that you mention go early.The Mayor and 'Ski are the only 2 juniors this coming season; Booker will prolly stay for his senior year.

I agree it doesn't sound like his style, but then, both kids just happening to end up on campus the same weekend doesn't sound right either. I really think this was a deliberate decision.It just doesn't seem like his style. For some reason I feel like he is recruiting both and he knows something about the numbers that we don't.
CU is, at this time, recruiting for one spot.
Might it be that he brings in both at the same time. They hang out with the team and maybe get visibility to the skill set that the other candidate has. Then they know if they don't commit sooner than later, there is another top prospect in the wings that might fill the one vacancy?I agree it doesn't sound like his style, but then, both kids just happening to end up on campus the same weekend doesn't sound right either.
