I will be optimistic until school starts and he is enrolled at another school.

 

Now, that is some long-suffering optimism, Silver!

 

But that means his glass is half full for a looooooooooooooooong time.  Cheers!

I'd rather go back for refills. ;)

 

Looks like we'll both have equal opportunity with the attrition wagon....

This is how I keep the glass half full all the time.  I tell the cocktail waitress to have another one on the table when the one I have ice touches the bottom.  I tip very well.

 

Also this was my 50th year of Husker Basketball being my heart, so I can wait a bit longer. B)

For those of you worried about whether Mike Edwards is any good or not (since he's still available in the spring and programs are scrambling to fill out their rosters, etc.) I present to you for comparison purposes video of Penn State Bound Mike Watkins, #120 on the Rivals 150 for 2015.

Im not saying it will be the same jump, from unranked to 4 star and #36 in the final rankings for Devonte Graham whom we went after and ended up at Kansas, but I suspect he makes an impact on the top 150 final ranking.

So what do you guys think the chances are he commits to us before he leaves?

 

slim.  He is getting interest from schools like Duke and UCLA.  Now it may be like a 1% interest but I doubt he will shut things down with his stock skyrocketing like it is right now.

How can you say slim? According to Mike, his top 5 schools are NU, Georgia, KSU, SMU, and Marquette and it doesn't look like Duke and UCLA are offering anytime soon. Plus, this would be his third official visit with only 2 remaining. I think we have a very good shot.

Moritz Wagner has committed to Michigan so that hopefully keeps Edwards off the board for UM

Good news

 

 

Now we need to hear news that Mike Edwards will be visiting NU this coming weekend! GBR

 

 

Looks like we got our wish.... ;)

scheduled his official visit to NU for Thursday.

 

Any idea how long he is staying? The spring game is a very good selling point even for basketball prospects. 

 

 

I just heard Robin W on the radio state he is in Thursday and out Friday...so no game experience.

He asked what do we think of a commitment "before he leaves" meaning a weekend commitment.  He has stated several times he will take visits, though the newest article says he may only take one more instead of previously all 5.  So to answer the question that was posed, that should be the most likely answer though I'd be happy to be wrong.  Now to the grand question of will he commit to us at some point, that changes quite a bit.

not sure why, but georgia and ksu don't worry me.

 

smu has larry brown, but how much longer is he really going to be there?

 

marquette would worry me because it would be close to home for him.

 

You have to like our chances being in the Big 10 and having a huge need for a big guy.

if he's interested in playing in the big 10 and getting a lot of minutes, i would say we have a real good shot here.

Exactly - a chance for minutes immediately & at least 1 chance per year to show Michigan it missed the boat on him.
