RECRUITING: Jeff Beverly commits

Not sure where you heard that we are leading on Race Thompson. Are we in the Top 5? Yes. But we are most definitely not leading.
Hmm, thought I'd read somewhere we were leading or towards the top. I'll see if I can find it. If we most definitely are not leading, who is?
Here is what a UTSa fan on reddit had to say.
I'd like to read that link.
All I can find is 247 warm to MN, Marquette and ISU with 2 CB's to MN (MN & UK guys) and 1 to ISU (WI guy).
I def do not have a link. I have an in-law that is somewhat connected with Minny (Big donor's friend, basically). We aren't out but they get the feeling he's gonna go there. Take it for what it's worth.
Well no duh a school is going to think he is going to end up there. If they didn't think that they could get Race they wouldn't be recruiting him.
I think you have to give Minnesota the nod at this point. He's an in-state kid, dad was a football star for the Gopher.
If we land him it will be an upset IMO.
Something tells me this kid is going to add a lot for us and the Juiston kid won't do much at UNLV. Seems like that happens when I get mad we lost a recruit. Like the Williams kid that went to St Johns. I hated it. Thought that kid was going to be an NBA guy. Then he basically just sucked and nobody even wants him on the transfer market. Yet we got a kid like Jake Anderson and I was like Whatever, and he did a great job for us.
Any recruit of his level would be an upset to beat out the field. I know it seems like it worked for Wigginton, but I'm hoping we don't go all-in.

Well, I think it was the right move to sign Beverly at this point. I'll be looking to see how he does in the paint against Big12 size and athleticism and how quick he looks at this level. Hogue had a junkyard dog mentality but he was also a quick and strong athlete and hit some big 3's.
Let's hope that we signed a solid contributor. I certainly like his intangibles, too - seems like he's a hard worker and really wants to be a Cyclone. Looking for some "Beverly Thrills."

Decent scoring, decent free throw %, decent rebounding ability for size. His only knock is an outside game. He will be baited a lot to shoot from outside, but overall, a decent piece for next years team. I wish we got a high caliber scoring guard with an outside shot but if this guy can drive the lane and free up Jackson or maybe Wiggington for open looks, I'm cool with that. Just thinking about who we have as outside shooters next year, much more limited than any year since before Fred.
To be fair, check their team stats. They were a very inefficient team as a whole. Maybe it was more the team and scheme than it was Beverly's talents.
He made 19 / 46 for 41% from 3PT as a freshman at TAMU-CC.
