C Elbert Robinson -> LSU

[Cookie Belcher]

Ahh shoot. LSU looks like a contender for sure. Not liking our chances as much anymore.

Another SEC team swoops in at the last minute dangling a large bag of cash.

Shaq will be there during his visit and at the LSU - Auburn football game just saw on twitter

Hey, no worries guys, we've still got the vooch!  We're set for big men for a few years anyway!

He tweeted this morning- "Pops told me to push my date back"

 

Pops wants $$$$$$$$$$$

Huh? Is Creighton setting the recruiting world on fire? Or did i miss something?

no there not by any means, it was more a joke than anything, given how much shit was started on that whole deal with gilmore about maybe we dont want him, cuz were so in with elbert, than some posters when way overboard and were waiting by twitter for him to commit, now that he is taking another visit and LSU jumped in, everyone acts like this is done and were out of the running. If i were a jaysker id have a little laugh over the dramatic change in attitude of the board right now.

[Huskerpapa]

LSU night game...with Shaq...yikes.

[bobcat402]

personally i think its us and LSU at this point....and i think this thing may stretch til his date in november this will be a long play for Miles, it will interesting to see how this develops with Pinder visiting, and gilmore still in the mix somewhere, and some other prospects you know their looking for. any 7'0 footers in aussie land

Just my opinion, but I believe Gilmore is way down the priority list for us right now. Just based on observations of activity, I believe this is roughly how our priorities lie:

 

1. Elbert Robinson

2. Jonah Bolden

3. Keanu Pinder

4. Deng Deng

5. Leon Gilmore

6. Zach Smith

[cwshuskers]

Ruf-row. Hopefully Kenya can pull some magic because that's what it will take at this point.

This is exactly how I would put my list too. I would be happy to have any two of the top 3, but realistically I'd be alight with one of the top three and another.

i would agree at this point.

Would you have said us and LSU last week?  Probably not.

I do agree about ER stretching this thing out which makes me think that another month of him visiting schools would probably change your mind.

 

Not sure if we're thinking about 3 guys or not for 2014...we've never oversigned anyone yet so it's hard to know if we ever will. If we are considering 3, then signing someone else on the list while still keeping it open for ER sounds like a better course of action then waiting for ER to Agau us this winter.

i want to wait for this kid, as long as it takes, and i think we will get him still, yeah, LSU, and Shaq may have more star power, but my confidence says he evetually picks NU..no matter what he ever does at LSU he'll always be the 4th best tiger basketball player...

Dimes, I think we take 3 in this class. Pinder and then if Bolden or Robinson decided on us. I sure hope we can land one of the other two, but it seems weird that Pinder pops up the day before Robinson announces he's stalling his schools and then adds the LSU visit with Shaquille as well.

Now that I type this I'm really feeling that Hammond is the big we get and Pinder is the other and we keep everyone.

[bobcat402]

question...say we get pinder, and robinson and bolden go eslewhere, do we ask benny to leave and grab gilmore, deng,smith or player TBA or do stick with 2 and get a homerun in 2015?

There is approximately 0% chance Robinson going to LSU has anything to do with Pinder...I would be surprised if he's even heard of Pinder.  Pinder is a lot more about Nebraska not resting until they've signed at least two guys.

 

I hope you're right about the 3 guys as we are much more apt to leave a scholarship empty.

Agree. Pinder didn't just come out of nowhere. Yes, he just arrived in the U.S. but remember that Harriman basically placed him at Sunrise Christian Academy. He's been recruiting Pinder for a long time. We just were made aware of this recruit yesterday and that news coming out had nothing to do with Robinson's status. We've been recruiting both of these guys for awhile.

I think miles keeps them and doesn't take another player. Don't think he wants to push anyone out, unless he gets his "A" choices.

Good good, just thought it was random, but you're right about Harriman being on Pinder for a long time. Just hope we can land him and away Robinson with the potential we have! Bolden needs to put out his list, so we can see what's going on with him.

This is funny. LSU faithful here pretty confident the big man is down to 2 schools.

@GeauxHoops: Confirmed: Elbert Robinson is on campus. The big 7' 322lb center is between LSU and Georgetown. Would be a "huge" pickup for LSU.

It would be huge for LSU, but I think he either goes to gtown or us
