Shittu Official Visit - 11/10

[pln2013]

Don't think we have a great shot, but getting the last visit certainly doesn't hurt. The lack of Oregon and Kentucky is curious, though he can obviously schedule 2 more later. Arizona is thought to be the favorite right now.

I think he'd step right into the 5 spot if we got him. Shittu and Little (a hyper-optimistic hypothetical) would complement a senior Maye really well.

 

[heels05champs]

UK hasn't offered and some suggest they are focusing on other targets. Not seeing Oregon on there is the biggest surprise to me but maybe he isn't done scheduling OV's yet.

So is this his Final 3? What's our chances here?

I'm not too optimistic, but I honestly didn't think we stood any chance given some of his previous comments.

 

[ChrisMPA]

Before Brandan Wright committed I thought there was no way we land him. But then we did. Soooo long story short, Roy knows what he's doing. Just gotta let it happen.

 

[UNCFan2012]

Whenever you have an official you have a shot. I think he'd be a great fit for us given his rebounding ability. Best rebounder in the class + Roy Williams = $$$$$$.

Also, we are in a better position than Arizona for post minutes. He could probably come in and have a great shot at starting Center.

What has he said?

 

[gauchoheel]

He lives in Vermont right? The Green Mountain State? Maybe we should just show him a contrast of the Arizona desert vs the Carolina pine trees.

 

[RoseHeel]

What has he said?

On UNC: “They just won the national championship. They’re more of a developmental school. They have a lot of three-and done players. They also have a nice campus. It’s a learning environment.”

I see. Yeah... probably not coming here. It's funny to me how people get the perception that because there are a lot of 3 and done players, they wouldn't be a good fit. Like, obviously if we had gotten Karl Anthony Towns, Jabari Parker, or Jahlil Okafor they'd have been gone pro after one year, with probably the exact same results. Because a player ranked #25 stays for 3 years, does not mean you ranked at #3 will also do so...

 

[Sk1310]

but he also said Roy doesnt hold people back. Go if you want

 

[Ozheelfan]

Fact is, he's coming to visit.... that's a heck of a lot more than what was happening 2-3 years ago!

Once he's on campus, it'll be up to Roy and the staff to sell the program..... including the fact that he'll have every opportunity to be OAD whether he starts or not (Tony Bradley)

Good point. Just getting these guys on Campus felt like a hard fought victory back then.

Take that Shit...tu da bank, visit means shot or in this case Shot at Shit...Tu !

Man, I don't know where the heck I am going with that but promise ya it was some how funny when I wrote it! LOL

Then you have an odd sense of humor .. jmho

If we really are in his final 3 visits you have to think we have a chance. I think we do land him or Little.

Could be both with these recent developments

 

[TPFKAPFS]

If the "bag" was intercepted, maybe our chances just got better, lol!

This kid's game is tailor-made for UNC and he would thrive in our inside out system! Hopefully, whoever is advising him actually wants the best for the youngster! I still think "Developmental school" is a compliment!

 

[bax4444]

Yeah id imagine this would eliminate arizona totally.

 

[RoseHeel]

With Little, I think this could leave us unopposed.

Simi not so sure, but one would think he'll be considering his options carefully.

Who do you think this is? Little is not coming to UNC.

What exactly does that have to do with Little? Id be careful here.

You are clueless. If I had the time I would fill you in on a lots of thngs going on but I don't have the time.

Well the way you worded your post could lead one to believe one of our top targets is looking to be paid, it wouldnt take a big leap for someone to come to that conclusion. That was my point.

 

[TPFKAPFS]

I'm clueless too, but maybe I prefer to stay that way. You just shouldn't look behind some curtains! 150-200K!!! I am in the wrong business, lol!

I hope Little is not part of this scandal and I pray that UNC isn't either!

Until I actually see him commit to another school or hear we are no loner pursuing him, I will hold out hope for Mr. Little!

 

[Steat]

Listen to this..... much more will come out......make sure you listen to this entire link. This is a MAJOR deal ....

This is a very vague and open ended response. There are 351 D-1 at least 3x the amount of coaches and even more players that could all be referred to in that document you added.

If you don't have time to explain, so be it. But that in no way explains why Little isn't going to UNC. Are you saying us or Little is involved?

Little's AAU program director is involved and named in the FBI document. Little may have absolutely nothing to do with his program director's shadiness but I wouldn't be surprised if Roy backs away from this recruitment.

Thanks for the clarification. Interesting turn of events indeed.

Sleep easy, Roy/UNC not bout that life

It's Little. There's really no other player on that AAU team that would come close to commanding that kind of cash.

 

[UNC&ME]

UA under the microscope...check Richardson's 8 yrs there...lack of institutional control,hmm?...no way AZ State and UCLA-the biggest rivals remain quiet about eligibility for 2018 prospect and $$$....and Shittu will he visit UA?

 

[UNCFan2012]

So, do we know that Shittu wasn't involved in any of this mess? Any recruit that looked to be heading to Arizona is now under the microscope. Plus there was the whole thing with UK unexpectedly deciding not to offer him and offer a in-state 4 star guy. Looks a little suspicious.

 

[imajericho]

He is saying Little was going to commit to Arizona for 150k in cash.

 

[Heelswin]

If we really are in his final 3 visits you have to think we have a chance. I think we do land him or Little.

You think Little will still be eligible? What does him 'reopening' his recruiting mean for UNC? It smells to me. Bet Roy no like!

 

[TPFKAPFS]

So have we heard anything definitive about Shittu?

 

[bax4444]

I wrote that post well before the stuff came out last week. I no longer feel Roy should pursue little.

 

[UNC&ME]

"Let me handle this..wink and nod"...my wild guess is AAU coach handled details..the Little family could keep silent(an alibi-"we never negotiated or received $)...silent auction..Miami bids then UA counters(sold UA)..but one snag lump sum cant be made...result-kid tweets.I am reopening my recruiting....what is it in legal terms-plausible deniability...social media gives and social media takes away-these coaches know exactly what's going on-better to put the head down and do work(honest work)

 

[Archer2]

Trust Roy guys. If he isn't 100% sure that Little is clean as a whistle, he will back off. As he should.

But as for judging people before all the facts come out, I don't roll that way. This is still America, contrary to what many say.

It's still America but we are a program dealing with an NCAA investigation. One of our top target is heavily rumored to be involved with bidding wars for his services. Unfortunately as much as I love little as a player, in this case I don't agree Roy should even be waiting around to find out if little is "clean". But maybe I will be proven wrong and I hope so. But I seriously doubt it.
