Paschal Chukwu 2015 C Providence transfer -> Syracuse

[ajb5856]

I get on UCONN message board often and there hasn't been any talk about him for over a couple weeks. So I don't know. Hopefully he is done after this visit today!!!

Syracuse was also mentioned awhile back as an option. Could be off here but I believe most of his visits were/are out of courtesy/wanting to tell coaches certain things in person and/or to see the countryside. I've been told that this is a 2 horse race and that we are one of the horses.

And the other is?

I've been told Virginia. So we'll see how straight up my info is shortly. Hopefully. Was also told that he went on the Kansas visit to specifically tell the coaches in person that he would not be going there. We'll see.

Well, if you want to go by age of arena, we're in good shape.

 

1).  Pinnacle Bank Arena - opened 2013

2).  John Paul Jones Arena - opened 2006

3).  Gampel Pavilion - opened 1990

4).  Breslin Center - opened 1989

5).  Carrier Dome - opened 1980

6).  Hynes Athletic Center - opened 1974

7).  Allen Fieldhouse - opened 1955

As I recall from the PBA thread (probably on the old board) UVA's arena was one of the ones we were looking at when contemplating what our new arena would look like.  And, I remember thinking their arena was pretty cool.  So, going by arena alone, not sure we have much of an advantage.

 

However, when you add in the scourge of kudzu ...

[49r]

Good news Norm.  When you look at the map below, you see that kudzu is found in Nebraska, so WOO HOO!!!

it's been a month since he visited us, and he has visited 5 schools since he was here. that's a bit worrisome.

Dude just likes to travel.

 

Imagine how many door frames he has hit his head on at some of those older schools.

I would be floored if he ended up here.

He has to end up here.  Norm has already put him in his "Experience Returning" thread on the main board.

So, MSU got a commitment from 2016 5* G Josh Langford yesterday.

Wonder how that will affect Chukwu's decision, if at all...

Well according to a poster on the UVA board his dad is doing some contracting business at Tony Bennett's house and Tony says Chukwu to UVA "is a done deal."  Let's hope his dad is full of poop.

The Norm has spoken.  Let it be done according to his word.

Well here in Nebraska it is the cable guy, correct?

Ouch.  That report hurts. 

While second-hand hearsay (heard it from someone who heard it from someone else) isn't admissible in court, it's pretty solid stuff for basketball message boards.  However, here's hoping that such from-Coach-to-father-to-son information has the same reliability as this little gem published a couple months ago during the Anton Gill recruitment days:  

 

Sources indicate that "Louisville transfer guard Anton Gill is close to committing to Georgetown, with a formal commitment possible as soon as tonight. Gill visited Georgetown over the weekend and word is that he impressed the coaching staff both on and off the court."

 

[Huskerpapa]

...and this just heard...Pete Rose has an older brother, and he still states that Pete never bet on baseball as a player.  Even those that are well informed are still sometimes uninformed.

[AuroranHusker]

Anyone who thinks a Chukwu will become a Hoo must live in Whoville.

 

 

The owls are howling, "Who, Hoo?"

 

 

No 'Hoo'p for you!! (a la Soup Nazi)

 

 

What the 'Hoo' are you takin' 'bout?

 

 

No Way, No 'Hoo'

 

 

Look Hoo's talkin'

 

 

Hoo R U

 

 

Where R Hoo?

 

 

Not Hoo U Know

 

 

Hoo's got your back.... NEBRASKETBALL. That's Who!!

Now he's visiting Syracuse this weekend according to Rothstein.

 

[colhusker]

When does the west coast tour start for him?

[Navin R. Johnson]

[trickey]

Not exactly what I wanted to wake up to.

 

[GATA]

That escalated quickly.

Next.

[lanigan123]

Wish him all the best. Not many true big men want to go play in a zone.

Next

[swoof]

Paschal, there must be a few big schools on the east coast you haven't visited yet. Are you really sure about this?

[Silverbacked1]

Weeeellllllllllllllll................. dirty words.

[Bugeaters1]

well SHEETS.

[FredsSlacks]

anyone that thought we had a good chance here was drinking serious amounts of koolaid.
