Ever heard of Duncan Robinson from Michigan? Transferred to Michigan from “ Williams College” won the 2018 Big 10 sixth man of the year and played well in Michigan’s deep run in the Tourney this year. What experience do you have at evaluating talent?? Not trying to stir the pot just wanna know?? Terry obviously sees something in this kid.
Coach Terry makes 1st UTEP offer / Basketball Recruiting

Like everybody else on here, I don't have any experience. I am just stating my opinions. I do get your point, but I'm not going to get excited about a guy transferring from NJIT. Duncan Robinson is an exception to the rule.
It doesn’t matter what school he’s transferring in from. What matters is what programs want him.
Right now he’s getting interest from the two AAC, one ACC, two Big 12, one MW, one CUSA, and one A10 team.
That seems like some very attractive places to play ball at.

I'm not really sure what response you were looking for. None of us here know anything about recruiting. We are just stating our opinions.
I'm still not going to get excited, but you're more than welcome to. If he plays for UTEP I hope he does very well.
I’m not surprised that a kid being recruited by multiple NCAA teams is not worthy of your expectations.
I wish for crying out loud that the trouble maker; the infamous "Mr Luna" would step up and explain himself. He is the basis for this entire conundrum.
I'm sure he will. Like I alluded at earlier (to the board's annoyance at his tweet of welcoming Winston Dimal), I'm sure Coach Dimal's son is at UTEP. Maybe waiting for whatever reason to formally announce.
Fair enough. I'll get excited if he comes to UTEP and does well.
Mr Luna has already said on twitter this was NOT the news he was talking about.
Good to see chihuahua back to ruin good discussions again. "sarcasm"

Its already clear its the Canada kid people relax you'll know today
He’s a recruiting expert and and a staff writer for Rivals. He hasn’t given out any secrets. He just let us know an impact recruit might sign very soon. No names given out.
Even though that’s most logical, I didn’t want to jump to any conclusions and then feel the let down if it wasn’t him. Is it really all that clear it’s Ezeagu? I’m guessing you know something since you say we’ll know today.
Would be nice as I think I've started before to get Eze and Like, but I'm wondering right now what kind of games Like is playing....maybe he's just enjoying the spotlight and dragging it out as long as possible before announcing his choice.
Interesting. He was wanted by solid programs.
""Basketball
USC [South Carolina] apparently is still interested in bringing in 6-10 Kaosi Ezeagu of GTA Prep in Canada. He visited Western Michigan last week and Butler is now showing interest. He had 27 points and seven rebounds in a recent Canadian all-star game." 04/30/2018 [source:https://www.postandcourier.com/spor...cle_98591fba-4c80-11e8-b251-1f47bab36e69.html]
Butler (bustingbrackets.com)......

6’10”, 220 lbs, Unranked by 247Sports Composite
The most recent 2018 target for Butler, Ezeagu is known as an interior defender. He already has solid size as a potential center and can sky high to block shots. The Canadian center is a high-energy big man who rebounds and defends extremely well. On the offensive end, Ezeagu has a lot of work to do before he reaches the level of being a threat in the post.
The news regarding Butler’s interest in Ezeagu broke on April 18th, so it is very new. Due to the raw nature of his talent, the expectation should be that Ezeagu will redshirt if he commits to Butler. If this is the case, then he would be a natural replacement in the rotation for Nate Fowler, who will graduate after the 2018-19 season. The Bulldogs already have one Canadian on the roster in Christian David, so this is not unfamilar territory.
Elias Sbiet of North Pole Hoops broke the news surrounding Butler being interested in Ezeagu. According to 247Sports, the other known offers issued to the big man are from Western Michigan and South Carolina. Butler has not offered yet."[source:https://bustingbrackets.com/2018/04/16/butler-basketball-can-bulldogs-land-2018-recruit/]

Eh. Depends. Good sources know the mother of his best friend or knows the drinking buddy of his coach. But even with social media you can get an idea. Just follow the crumbs.....
Okay let me ask you this. If you and Mr.Luna were friends Or co workers. Would you tell him secrets?
As long as he never reveals his source then yes. I don’t think you understand how sport journalism works.
What I imagine is someone in the athletic department that your trust and trust you tells you a secret not to be revealed yet and you promise that "source" you won't reveal the subject of the secret until such time as either the subject or the athletic department reveal it first. Is that about it?
