This....is....freaking....fantastic news.  Man, I was hoping, I was praying...and now, it has come to fruition.  The puzzle is close to coming together.  Come on everyone, it is time to celebrate!

 

 

I don't do down arrows.  Maybe 3 or 4 since I've been here.  CWG, you damn near got one for this song.

Did it come from a gas pump?  Asking for a friend.

 

I mean...who the hell buys Mid-Grade gas anyway?  What's the reason for it?  If you're gonna spend a couple extra bucks more than you would on the regular gas, would there be any reason not to go all the way and get the good stuff?

 

I was just a little bit afraid I might be filling my tank with some stone age gas that nobody buys that's just a glob of turpentine now and gonna ruin my car.  But oh well...YOLO!

I like that the roster is starting to balance out nicely.  As things stand right now:

 

Seniors-to-be:

 

6-3 Anton Gill ****

6-5 Evan Taylor

 

Juniors:

 

6-0 Glynn Watson ****

6-6 James Palmer ****

6-8 Jack McVeigh

6-9 Isaac Copeland *****

 

Sophomores:

 

6-8 Isaiah Roby ****

6-11 Jordy Tshimanga (Rivals 150)

 

Freshmen:

 

6-1 Thomas Allen ****

6-6 Nana Akenten (Rivals 150)

 

 

That's a good distribution of size, position, and year.  If I could finish this out anyway I wanted considering the players we're known to have reached out to (or are rumored available), I would add 6-10 Kavell Bigby-Williams to the senior class (if he'd be immediately eligible) and 6-9 Brady Ernst to the sophomore class.  Then, maybe one more shooting guard to the freshman class.  If you look at what we graduate, we need another young guard with one of these last 3 spots.

Cheap gas or expensive gas, it all comes out the same.

I don't watch a lot of these videos...but man that is some very poor defense being played against his team....worse than pickup games at the YMCA.

Seriously, you guys, I'm still just so excited and surprised by this. It's been said many times, but I'll say it again, we really needed it. Bad. 

 

I feel like we can finally exhale.

One of the articles from from his commitment announcement said all his paperwork would be done in the next couple days. I'm assuming this will all be taken care of tomorrow.

Thomas Allen is planning to already be in Lincoln by the first part of June to attend summer school.
