2011 Recruiting

[El_Diablo]

I don't think it impacts it too much at all, honestly. I think more than anything it says that Donovan is not confident he's keeping Rivers.

Beal must like the Nerf Gun

Why would it say anything about Donovan's confidence in keeping Rivers? It's not like he'd say, "Well...I think Rivers will stay with us, so I guess I'll just pass on Beal" or think, "I'll only offer Beal if I know that Rivers is leaving." Isn't it entirely possible that a coach would want to bring in elite talent regardless of the rest of what other players he has???

This says nothing about Donovan's confidence in keeping Rivers. He'd want both if he could have both.

You're right. I should have just ended it after the first sentence. Almost did, but then I had to go run my mouth...

Regardless, Brad Beal loves Nerf Guns.

Good point about Donovan's confidence as far as Rivers goes.

What about Kenny Boynton? Is he on the NBA radar map at all?

chad ford has him at 67 on his big board. so right now i'd say no ;-)

I dont know how having a somewhat crowded backcourt in 2012 would affect Rivers' decision - we'll have Dawkins, Irving and Curry, as well as Thornton. But Duke has often played 3 guards and could really run a lot with this squad.

In general, having a crowded anything doesn't usually affect the top players. We fans may think this way but the players don't. They know they're going to play, and they probably don't care all that much who will be playing behind them. Even if it's not true, even if the recruit isn't good enough to start over the existing talent, these kids are teenagers and everybody is constantly telling them how wonderful they are.

I also don't think Beal's decision foreshadows a Rivers departure. I read somewhere awhile ago that Rivers and Beal wanted to play together. Of course I've also read that Rivers and Kyrie wanted to play together, so I don't see a real obvious lean either way.

where do these "I'm a real wanker..." comments come from?

Are the mods inserting them or do individual posters insert them?

Either way, they are annoying as crap. Please stop, already.

I highly doubt that Airowe is doing that on purpose. he is one of the more highly respected posters on DBR

they appear to be somehow added in when copying from another site and posting on here. its happened to me before as well

It's a filter for profane language, but I have no idea how they made it in my post. I copied and pasted from a website and they showed up.

The wanker thing must be customized here, because most sites I go to there are stars filtering out the words. It makes it really hard to read though, as it's not in a different font or italicized or anything to set it apart from the rest of the text. If the wanker thing needs to stay, maybe put a space in the string literal that you guys are using for your LPAD filter function?

It looks like the HTML links, in the text that was copied and pasted, are being read as something unacceptable. Here's what I see when I look at the HTML source from that part of the ESPN web page.

Correct. It may have mistaken some empty text and the following letter as some type of obscene word.

Filters can have unintended consequences. A professor where I work once became irate and complained because an IT support person never responded to his emails. It turned out that the professor, an older gentleman, had a rule in his personal spam filter that blocked any email mentioning CIALIS. Part of the IT support person's signature was "Specialist" in which the filter rule found speCIALISt and promptly dumped emails to the professor from this person in the trash.

Quinn is actually Nolan's family. I think it's his stepbrother...

[ChicagoCrazy84]

I think you are right. Lots of connections with Quinn Cook. He plays on DC Assault much like Ty Thornton and Josh Hairston. If KI leaves early, he should be our main guy.

[RockyMtDevil]

Assuming our players return, our 2011 team consists of:
Guards:
Dawkins
Irving (maybe)
Curry
Thornton

Bigs:
Kelly
Miles
Mason
Hairston

So, who are we targeting besides Quincy Miller? We might lose Irving as a one and done. Seems like we need a 1 or a 2 and a strong slasher 3.

Who are we after folks?

[superdave]

Who are we after folks?

Roscoe Smith (or possibly another 3 that we have not offered yet)
Marshall Plumlee
Austin Rivers

I'm sure there's another dozen we are after, but these are the one's zeroed in on to my knowledge.

Roscoe Smith is a 2010 prospect.

For 2011, Quincy Miller, Marshall Plumlee, and Austin Rivers are the three we are hearing the most about at this point.

[superdave]

Has Trey Ziegler been offered?
