I am equally sceptical we can hold on to him and excited that he “committed”.

Also this 4 star, highest rated recruit stuff is nonsense especially given he’s a junior and we have had several other 4 stars.

Nobal Days was a top 100 recruit and “scout” 4 star recruit when he was a junior too. Later he was downgraded. So this seems silly

Wow. We get a Top 100 commit and all people can do is bitch and moan that the kid isn’t any good and that he likely won’t end up actually signing here anyway. Jeez.

yep. with the program in its current state and overwhelming evidence that Dunleavy will never be a winner here, any news that potentially prolongs his tenure here will meet with resistance. Kids will be called overrated or only softly committed. I have no idea how good the kid is but my concern is that he's a package deal with MD being our coach. And if that's the case this really isn't good news.

There are 6-8 users on this site that are hard to ignore because they comment about EVERYTHING and insult people who disagree with them. They largely have very little idea what they are talking about except that Tulane does it wrong. I suspect a couple are actually Tulane-hating moles. You have to look at many of their comments as dead space and just move on. Their defense is that they are the voices of reality but they are actually of little productive value.

Skeptisicm after the first 3 years of results for a non binding commit in 2 years doesn’t seem unwarranted.

Personally, I'm skeptical of anyone who can't spell "skeptical". lol

Good one. You truly are a colossal intellect. I post on my phone and typos happen. So are you going to speak to the content and substance of the commentary or just make juvenile spelling jokes ?

And it should be read and understood by the Director of Athletics that the number of posts calling for Dunleavy's job out number the fans at the home games. We cannot continue with this staff.

Definitely MD’s highest profile commitment to date. Is he a PG or a Small Foward 6’5” as Guerry mentioned in his article?
Like others have said until his signs on the dotted line I’m staying cautious. If he’s that good I would expect his recruitment to continue.

His de-committing is less surprising than his commitment.

I do hope this year's key contributors stick around. I suspect we won't know until after the new coach is named.

Other than Daniels, who was a key contributor?

I think Sehic, Woods and Crabtree can be solid role-players. Way too much was asked of them.
