Zag,

The West Coast had MoMo making his decison on Friday.
It is all over the various papers.

Maybe we were too overly wishful.

But, it does look good for MoMo.
He will get playing time next season.
We do not have a starter coming back.
There will be 2 other point guards which will compete with MoMo.

Plus, MoMo and mother had a great visit.
And USC is a safe place to live.

Will MoMo decide on Saturday night?

How close is Arizona?

Greenburg is a quality recruiter– To your point Allen and Delaney were both rivals 4 star kids. He also has another 4 star kid in Jarell Eddie signed in 2010. He was also in on Demarcus Cousins for a period of time this year, was a finalist for Tyshawn Taylor who ultimately signed at Kansas last year after being released from Marquette, and had a verbal from Momo Jones… Considering he is at Virginia Tech, I would consider that to be above a ‘so-so” recruiter.

I would consider breaking through in the ACC to be a top 4 finish.

As far as Momo, I got no indication he was set to announce today. I spoke with him yesterday and he said he’s focused on the Jordan game…Steve Smith said it will likely be USC unless Arizona gets in the mix. I don’t know that Rutgers was ever involved.

Thanks

Define “breaking through in the ACC”. From where I sit, Greenburg is a so-so recruiter and an average game coach. Malcom Delaney had a breakout year but Jeff Allen has so much potential but doesn’t seem to be developing. And Vassallo is a senior. Unless someone in their imcoming class is big time underrated and turns out to be an impact player I don’t expect much improvement next season from Va Tech. In fact I don’t think it’s too presumptuous to think he may be one chair away from the hot seat.

From all accounts that I have read on this kid, he is pretty much all over the place with his recruiting. I personally think he would have best suited to have stayed committed to Virginia Tech. Seth Greenburg is a year or two away from finally breaking through in the ACC.

Why in the world is RU not throwing the kitchen sink at this kid? Beatty seems like a long shot and Bledsoe was never even a possibility. Not to mention SJU is bringing in 2 other point guards whom RU has yet to have visit!

Why does Freddy consistently put ALL of his eggs in 1 basket!! The list goes on. . . .

@ pgrady…Maybe he has and it’s been to no avail? I’m sure this recruit was on his radar.

In any event, It would be pretty sweet if he signed with UA.

@ Adam, why are reports out saying he(MoMo) was set to announce today but you says he has no timetable? I hope Book can get him down to UA before he makes his decision. Also, what are this kid’s interest? First, he shakes Louisville, then he shakes Virginia Tech…what exactly is he looking for?

Norm Roberts should be pulling out all stops to get MoMo to St. John’s…
