Like the size. Aussie's can play. Usually not a problem getting cleared.

Good class. Now need to get them ALL in!

Zit, you feeling OK? What's with the positivity?

I like the rugby background for the kid. Means Cincinnati's thugs aren't going to be able to shove him around too much. Let's hope he's in the mold of Luc Longley and Andrew Bogut

Bigzit has actually been one of the more positive posters for the incoming class and the future of the basketball program after this season.

Looking at the Austrailian recruiting rankings, Thon Maker is #1.

Wow...Dude is a freak.

All the big boys want him. Don't watch ANY of his videos...it will make you realize the talent gap most schools deal with when playing Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, etc...

Nevertheless...still very happy with the Will signing.

Yep. Very positive about the future with the size and street credibility coming in. I like the number of offers with a few of these players --- and the shooting ability of most of these signees. I also like Taplin a lot.

HOPE. It's all I got at the moment. I'm tired of what I've been watching for the past 2 seasons. Not a complete knock on anyone, just tired of the game Tulsa must play due to some incredible weaknesses on the inside.

I wish we caught Missouri in some sort of tourney in '16 or '17. Be nice to compare notes/recruits. At this point I'm thinking we might be at least even.

I would trade the last 2 or 3 years for the entirety of Wojcik's career. That was a bad brand of basketball.

Wojick @ TU == the lost decade.

Wojick @ TU == the lost decade.

Wojcik's first 2-3 years were fine. He got things turned around quickly and brought in actual legit D-1 players versus what he was left with when Phillips left which were some borderline D-II players and some guys who would struggle at the NAIA level. Fact is, Phillips brought in no one that could play that wouldn't have come here anyway (Jason Parker) and Jarius Glenn was a Peterson recruit.
