RECRUITING: Darius McNeill status

I hope Cal sucks.

In a perfect world we make the NCAA Tourney again next year. Cal and UNLV both make the post season playing each other in the first round of one of those tourneys below the NIT, winner gets Iowa!

Only way we'd ever hear anything about either Cal or UNLV is if they play Iowa - combined they have 1 big boy tourney appearance since '13. They have been and will be off our radar for awhile out on that west coast, unless I tune in for the occasional Bill Walton entertainment.

This situation is irritating of course. But to be fair, for all the 'What about them being STUDENT-athletes?' Worrying that goes on, if a kid gets a chance for a free education from UC-Berkeley...

Even the good teams play in obscurity out there.

This. The guy is hilarious...the other announcer spends half his time trying to rein Bill in.

I wonder how much longer he holds off his commit to Cal as if we didn't all already know what was going on?

Bye felicia

Who?

Cal is going to be terrible. McNeil will be one of their top 3 players.

 

[GTO]

After a big lunch, I headed to the bathroom and also had to release a McNeil.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Seems about right. Let him twist in the wind a while, and then let him go (but don't take the full 30 as that would just seem vindictive).

Glad it's over and done with. I think McNeill made a poor decision that he'll regret, but I hope I'm wrong. Good luck to him.

 

[Dandy]

People notice when you do the right thing too. Hopefully this pays dividends down the road.

Not often I think the kid was a way bigger **** than that coach.

Per this he never even talked with Coach Prohm. Had his mom ask for the release.

Yep and that's why it's pretty easy for me to get over this one. I want men on our team not a child shyly hugging his mom's leg and hiding behind her dress while she asks for his release.

Can't read the link. Did CP ask to talk to him and he ignored him?.Sounded like CP wanted to talk to him before he was going to release him
