I’ll give you a veteran tip that will make your life here much easier. I’ve failed to use it in the past but that has changed. If you click on someone’s profile on the right hand corner there is a button labeled “ignore” click on it and magically all of their post drop out of sight.
JCorona, while becoming my tour guide, you have just handed me a GPS unit. Thanks for the tip.
More than a GPS unit, your tip functions like a weed-eater. One crank, and they're gone. Back to laughing hysterically at Beavis and Butthead reruns.
I found this tweet. I’m not sure who this Tie Sims guy is or why he mentions UTEP.
That's what we need here -- more eyes and ears, guys tapped into social media. Which I decidedly am not. At least not just now.
Cool, thanks. Thats in reference to Deon Stroud. He could be an early commit for 2019.
Ok thanks I was trying to make the connection. I’m constantly on Twitter searching for the latest UTEP info. I had to block some guy that goes by the name of “UTEP Minero” cuz his constant non sense was interfering with my detective work. It essentially works like the ignore button on here. Once all his tweets disappeared I was able to zoom in on the good stuff.
I think Stroud has reclassified as a 2018 recruit. Apparently, he also visited UTEP unofficially on 4/6.
From what I've seen -- less than a week -- some of these would-be basketball recruiting experts need to change their diapers. Not clever, not amusing, just juvenile **** you might hear from 7th graders on the school bus.
My 14 year old is 6'2" and can jump higher than I ever could. All he wants to do is shoot 3's and try to dunk. I'm constantly on him about blocking out, rebounding, dribbling, shooting free throws/layups and playing tough defense. I tell him the rest will come, but right now its in one ear and out the other. He's gonna find out the hard way in high school.
I respect your inside info Train, you're always on top of things. I'm a bit confused though. He just finished his JR year in high school right? So how could he go D1 this year?
You're right. I saw that intro presser, too, and some of his philosophy got me jazzed. Then he went into great detail about all the transfers, and I quickly realized these D-1 coaches are bandits. They think nothing of recruiting off each other's active rosters.
I should have qualified that Nattybry. I have seen conflicting reports on Stroud's classification. I did see somewhere where he had reclassified while at prep school this year; can't seem to find that link now. If he did indeed visit unofficially this month, he is likely not going to play next year. If he has indeed reclassified, since he visited unofficially, that would indicate he may be a non qualifier Prop 48 recruit. Seems like a great athlete, but still a work in progress skillwise.
Quick update on Deon Stroud below from 4/21. Apparently, Stroud is indeed a 2018 recruit, and he mentions he has UTEP at the top of his list.
