"(2) Keep your ears open to bad news as well as good news. When you hear negative news about your school's chances with a recruit from a trusted source or all the facts don't add up in your favor, don't go in to denial about it. Just accept what you are seeing and hearing. A Scout.com analyst is not wrong just because he brings bad news. A random recruiting twitter account is not right just because it tells you what you want to hear. Be smart about what information you hear and where it comes from. (3) Recruiting is about choices made by 16 and 17 year old kids. They change their minds all the time. When they do that doesn't mean a previous piece of information given by a source was wrong.... just that it is no longer correct.. Accept this fact and move on. Remember, these are kids."

he apparently tweeted it on friday or saturday, but removed it shortly afterwards.

7/11/2011 5:07:34 PM

I think in 5 years or less, all NCAA coaches, at least in football and men's basketball, will be prohibited from using twitter at all. Too many loopholes.

7/11/2011 5:18:18 PM

i'm worried about Julius Hodge getting us in trouble. he's freaking hilarious on twitter sometimes, but surely he's getting close to crossing the line at some point....

especially if he is really trying to join the official staff (which I don't want him to because i <3 him uncensored)

7/12/2011 9:44:31 AM

Andrew White offered, potentially could come as a 2011 recruit...

7/15/2011 4:24:26 PM

2011as in he'll play this coming season?

7/15/2011 4:44:37 PM

^Yup.

7/15/2011 4:49:43 PM

that would be sick.

7/15/2011 5:16:07 PM

2011???

Are we the only team offering this to him? THIS WOULD BE HUGE

7/15/2011 5:38:01 PM

We are like the 8th team to offer him. Probably no chance.

7/15/2011 5:42:00 PM

your troll skills are weakening

7/15/2011 5:52:27 PM

weakening? were they ever good to begin with?

7/15/2011 5:53:45 PM

inorite

bad troll is bad

7/15/2011 6:23:35 PM

If he signed would that mean we only have one scholarship left for next year?

7/15/2011 6:56:12 PM

I think so, unless someone left early or transferred

Duke not recruiting purvis anymore

7/17/2011 10:20:22 PM

Rumors on Duke and State recruiting sites. Nothing concrete.

7/17/2011 10:29:03 PM

No Duke person was at the latest Purvis event, and some James Henderson of the Duke forum said they were not recruiting him.

7/17/2011 10:52:33 PM

Gotcha, just read about that. Good sign possibly.

7/17/2011 11:25:50 PM

i liked our chances when he signed with louisville

tell me about this when he signs with us.

Quote :

"2. Rodney Purvis isn't just a scorer Known for his ability to put up huge scoring numbers, Purvis proved that he is much more than just a scorer. In his five games at the Nike Peach Jam, Purvis registered 33 assists to only nine turnovers. Running the point much of the time for his CP3 All Stars team, Purvis looked comfortable handling the ball, directing traffic and passing off the dribble. With his ability to score, he puts enormous pressure on the defense as a point guard. And when he finds a healthy balance between scoring and distributing, Purvis is an elite guard prospect, not just an elite scorer. "

7/18/2011 9:23:47 AM

that's hard not to like to hear, about duke and purvis.

7/18/2011 11:13:09 AM

Isn't Andrew White the one who gave the really good interview a few weeks back, i think it was posted somewhere in this thread? And he's playing with another Wolfpack commit/recruit? And he ended the interview with something like "I don't know, the Wolfpack is looking at a lot of guards, so we'll have to wait and see what happens"?

7/18/2011 1:33:08 PM

^I remember that interview and I was impressed, but i dont remember if that was White or not.

7/18/2011 1:50:27 PM

^^He plays AAU ball with Tyler Lewis.

7/18/2011 1:51:28 PM

yeah then, i'm pretty sure it was him. very well-spoken.

also, word is that Tyler Lewis will be playing at Oak Hill Academy this season.

7/18/2011 1:53:29 PM

based on what i remember that dude looking like, i believe that it is indeed the same guy.

7/18/2011 1:53:33 PM

yup. Tyler Lewis to Oak Hill...

personally, i think Purvis and Amile will commit to us. I think TJ Warren becomes the one we don't get.

This means he's black right?

7/18/2011 3:07:15 PM

developing any sort of relationship with oak hill is great news.

7/18/2011 3:13:02 PM

^^get that race-shit outta here. often times, athletes don't sound smart (and sure, often times they're black). this guy sounded quite intelligent.

7/18/2011 4:06:21 PM

I've never heard a white guy described as "well-spoken"

7/18/2011 4:07:37 PM

he speaks the King's English quite well, laddy

7/18/2011 4:11:11 PM

^^what do you want? would you rather me say: "He spoke surprising well for a black guy"?

I thought the kid interviewed well, one of the better interviews i've seen by a 17-yr old athlete. why do you feel the need to bring race into it?

sorry, moving on...

7/18/2011 4:32:15 PM

^
That's fine, but that shit certainly happens.

7/18/2011 4:35:19 PM

It was a great interview. If you just listened to the audio only, you can tell the kid resembles the type of player that you want on your team because he'll listen and have a good attitude.

7/18/2011 4:48:14 PM

PI reporting that Andrew White will stay in the 2012 class.

7/18/2011 5:53:47 PM

Andrew White is a Class Act.

7/18/2011 7:10:09 PM

Probably just needed too many credits to pull it off. Wonder if he could enroll in January maybe?

See this is way better. I wouldn't have been able to tell he was black just by looking at this phrase.

[Edited on July 18, 2011 at 9:22 PM. Reason : FYI I'm not accusing you of racism I just think it's funny that ppl only say that abt black ppl]

but we're talking about elite basketball recruits, so it'd still be a pretty safe bet

7/18/2011 10:15:08 PM

seemed like a bit of a stretch anyway to decide mid-July that you would enroll immediately for the upcoming school year

would have been a steal though

Why? start with the team halfway through the season? This isnt football where kids enroll early and there is no way in hell he would burn a year of eligibility on a half season where he hasnt trained or practiced with the team.
