'12 CA S/RB Shaq Thompson (Washington Verbal)

IrishLax · Jan 16, 2012

100% following Tosh to Washington per ISD.

Cal's class is about to fall apart if Arik comes to ND. Would be awesome to swoop up Payton or Treggs as well. Don't believe this Goodman 5th year thing is a lock at all.

I read earlier that it's going to come down to Cal and UW with UCLA with an outside chance.

Is that their hunch or is it confirmed through sources?

Through a source.

Lax, you are the man! I have followed your post for over a year (even though i just joined) and find you to be correct more times than not.

Thanks for the insight!

This is in response to a guy on The Bang Bang group telling him to go call Shaq up.

Sapp just wrote that if we land the armsteads we will be in position to make a strong push at shaq. Can't tell if he is speculating or has sources

When Sapp speaks people need to listen.

Just don't see him leaving the west coast.

NDPhilly · Jan 17, 2012

When saying your prayers for the Armsteads, please now include some for Shaq. Please.

This is where my head is right now. Then again, my head was also in a place that didn't have us landing Gunner Kiel either as of yesterday morning, sooo.........

Now see this kind of stuff just gets me excited and that's really unfortunate because we're not going to get him. (I got 2k12 on your recommendation btw and it's addicting as hell. Way harder than 2k11 though.)

Let's concentrate on recruits that we can get signed...

ISD Power Hour said that Shaq is heading to WA, did anyone else hear this????
Irish Sports Daily Power Hour
They mention it about 58:00 minutes in.

BeauBenken · Jan 18, 2012

I mean, Lax said he was 100 percent going there earlier today...

I heard it. Most people assume he is going to follow Tosh to UDub.

OK, man I have been reading tooooo many threads and forgot, sorry for the idiotic post.

BleedBlueGold · Jan 18, 2012

No surprise.

I do have a problem with kids choosing schools solely based on the coaches (especially one that's not even his position coach).

With that said, I hope UW tears up the Pac12 for years to come.

True that. More needs to be paid attention to the school and the surroundings given that a coach has about 3-5 years to win a title or violate NCAA rules, and then he's gone.

Ask Taylor Mays about following a coach......Coaches have no loyalty to players or a school.

Not stupid at all bro. lol I was just saying that was the only report I had heard.

Irishman77 · Jan 18, 2012

reading the tea leaves of GB and TP i think we got a real good shot.
If we get the Armsteads up front and Tee,Darby,Shaq,and Shumate in the back. I will party like it is 1993 again on NSD!

Don't buy the champagne quite yet...

Maybe some Natty Ice if we snag the Armsteads

Maybe some Mad Dog 20/20 if we reel Darby back in.

Shaq isn't coming here....

Damion704 · Jan 18, 2012

Mad dog 20 20? lol Do we honestly have a chance with Shaq or is this ALL talk?

Shaq Thompson wasn't going to visit UCLA at all;did have home visit w Jim Mora after Mora hire;top picks remain Washington,Oregon,Cal...

NDhoosier · Jan 19, 2012

Man, I would love to have him. I wish Kelly would go and make one last pitch to him! This guy truly stood out during the UA Game!

Golden Glow · Jan 19, 2012

Great player with not much interest in ND.

I certainly agree if the decision is based solely on coaches. But let's not forget that the relationships that recruiters establish with recruits also works in our favor. Think no further than Tony Alford and Aaron Lynch. Yeah, Aaron had other reasons to be interested in ND, but Alford was a huge variable in his recruitment and ultimate commitment (even though he's not Aaron's position coach). I doubt we would have secured Aaron's commitment had Alford left the second week of last January.

And to think, we were a hat on a table once haha!

Grahambo · Jan 28, 2012

Justin Hopkins is reporting that UCLA has made a late surge for Shaq and that right now UW and Cal are the long shots. Some poster made mentioned that he heard that Shaq wants out of the Bay Area completely.

Also said this:

"Thompson changes daily. So if that's what he said to Joe Davidson earlier this week, it's very different now.

I hear Cal has ground to make up. But he has until Wednesday, plus what Arik does will have some impact IMO."

In reference to someone saying UCLA was out of it.
