Burford on Campus

[CoachTalk]

Says on twitter he may gain 30 pounds before returning home.

 

[SoonerTraveler]

Thanks for the info! Let's hope he enjoys his visit in every respect.

 

[atlantasooner]

a 3 forward class of Buford, McNease, and Latin would be ideal

 

[Stikboy]

Agreed. With a little Cunningham sprinkled on top? I know, asking for too much. When does he visit SC?

 

[tdsooner]

thx coach. do you or anyone else know if Diallo is also visiting this w/e? or are we now done with bigs for this class w/ Lattin's commitment?

Diallo's visit was cancelled.

Buford had a great visit and the coaches are very hopeful. Cunningham
is visiting Bradley this weekend but the coaches believe this is more a
courtesy visit because of his relationship with a former high school coach
and knowing some of the players on the team. They would like to have
both but are concerned Cunningham would not come if Buford committed.
They believe Iowa State is the main competition for Cunningham. The
coaches would be happy with either or both. Then next year they could
concentrate on Longar Longar's cousin who is a freshman 7 footer at a
junior college in Iowa.

Good stuff, Leopard! Hope you are right

 

[Stikboy]

Nice info, thanks Leopard! So do you have a gut feeling on which one it will be? And is it these guys or bust or are they pursuing anyone else for '14?

I did hear today the Crutchfield for Buford and Hill for Cunningham (the primary recruiters for each of them) were going to go see them on Monday.

I like the approach. If the kids are going to tell us no, they are going to have to tell their recruiters no to their faces.

Longar's cousin is Akolda Manyang

[Stikboy]

Why at juco?

 

[CoachTalk]

GUARDS. Will be the focus next year. Like bigs are this year.

I suppose we'd take him...!

Agreed. I don't think there are any 1s or 2s on recruiting list for this year, and Cunningham is the only 3. Next year we'll stock up on Guards.

Shake Milton next year? Sure hope so.

Shake Milton next year? Sure hope so.

They are hard after him!

 

[CoachTalk]

Buford will committ next week! Per his twitter

FWIW, the "Crystal Ball" says he is headed to South Carolina ...
