However, will SHU ever get a '09 commit? We are the only BE team without a commitment for '09 and maybe Theodore will be a top flight player maybe not, but our '08 class has crumbled as well. The recruiting aspect of this program is absolutely horrible right now. It worries me a little because it really thwarts any positive momentum we can muster. Look what good/very good recruiting classes have done for Rutgers. I'm not sure they could have beat "Jerry's Kids" last year in a game, however no one talks about that it’s all about how good the program is looking. I am not a Gonzo detractor and believe he needs his shot still, but it also looks like we only do not have any commits for '09 but we don’t even have any prospects left to sign, and all this comes after we have basically an 8 man team. This should be the biggest class we have had. Bobby really needs to start winning some serious games, or he needs to start winning some serious recruiting battles. I also don’t mean Cheek or any of that nonsense. We would have never got him in a million years. I'm talking about getting numerous of those good level local guys. The whole situation does not instill any type of confidence. It also shows how this BE is a joke and a disgrace. It is not built for the basketball centered private schools anymore. This is a completely different topic for a different day, but one of my biggest pet peeves. Some of the schools in this conference are an absolute disgrace. Sorry for the extremely long post. Give us some good recruiting news Adam. Please (ha a lot of pressure). This isn’t the right article to write on so sorry in advance. However, will SHU ever get a ‘09 commit?

Happens every year. By signing now, a kid can focus on his senior year and not worry about recruiting and phonecalls for a year.

Considering how coaches leave at the end of the season, players leave for the draft, and the NCAA makes it difficult to change once you sign the Letter of Intent.
