farmteam Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (He_Gawn @ May 9, 2013 -> 06:57 AM) Looks like Evan Gordon (Erics brother) will be transferring from ASU to play his final season closer to home. It looks like it will be Indiana, as they have an open scholarship. Good move for this year, and even better for the future. Eron Gordon is a 2016 recruit that will likely be a top 3 recruit in the nation. Playing up with the 17 year olds this year, he's just dominating putting up close to 25PPG in AAU. A lot like his brother Eric. I guess it makes sense since we could use another ballhandler and it would only be for a year. I hadn't seen that he was considering IU, though. I haven't followed his college career, but IIRC he wasn't too highly recruited out of high school. Has he done much at ASU?

He_Gawn Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Rabjohns reporting sources telling him it's IU. Averaged around 10 points and 3 assists last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I don't know how much traction this would give with Eron, though, since Eric was already here. I suppose it will help since Eric Gordon played under Sampson (and Dakich!), not Crean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Apparently a South Florida principal has nudged his HC out after a 10-2 season(30-16 in 4 seasons) because their 4-star WR chose Miami over Florida St. The former HC is an ex-Miami player. The principal is a FSU alumnus. The new HC is Kez McCorvey, former FSU WR. Recruiting is such a dirty game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if the firing happened before signing day, that could be considered by the NCAA to be undue influence by an FSU booster. Of course, this isn't surprising coming from a school that would employ a jackass like Bobby Bowden for 40-whatever years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, this isn't surprising coming from a school that would employ a jackass like Bobby Bowden for 40-whatever years. He was a signee for 2013. I dont know if this principal is a booster so I dont think its fair to tie FSU into this. Just another overzealous adult trying to live through kids. Usually its a family member or coach. But this is the crap Miami has to deal with when it comes to South Florida. The educational system down there is pathetic and a lot of these kids are being pushed towards out of state schools by adults with their own interests at hand. It's not a coincidence that schools like Louisville, West Virginia, Rutgers and some SEC schools have flourished since Miami has been down since 2005. Kids are now barely qualifying out of HS and can only get into schools that accept any warm body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the principal is taking any action to encourage recruits to attend his alma mater, then he's defined as a booster by the NCAA regardless of whether or not he has any official ties to any booster organizations. If the kid had already signed his LOI when the principal fired the coach, then it's not a violation unless the principal made threats to do so before signing day. He's still an asshole, but not one in violation of NCAA rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been known for a while that's he's pretty much locked into going to Louisville or Ohio State. They can deal with him. Indiana leads for Exum (who's the big one) and Okonoboh. I think they'll take those two and then grab another high level guard. We're after so many, it's hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
