first! god gillispie sucks at recruiting
May 30th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
OK.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
eh…we dont need him…he would just take up a scholarship
May 30th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Good for Hank. In my opinion, Lucas would have been good for the future as he would have been an asset with his recruiting and leadership abilities, but Thorns is just a guard, and the Cats have plenty of capable guards. I was expecting Jasper to have a break through year, but maybe the interest in Thorns suggests that the UK coaches may think less of Jasper, and Porter for that matter.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
Any word on Calasan?
May 30th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
I am glad we decided to go another way with the scholarship,
hopefully we keep it and get a great class next year. I wish
him good luck in the ACC, and hopefully he beats Duke every year.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
LOL at the guy in the photo w/a NBA tattoo. I hope that washes off.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
I just listened to Coach Cox raving about the returning guards we have I don’t think we were ever seriously recruiting Thorns. We will get a better player that we need more by saving the scholarship for next year IMO.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Hey, don’t forget about me. I’m better than Thorns.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Thanks everyone!! I’m very excited about my future at Virginia Tech.
Maybe one day we will play Kentucky and you guys will see my skills
first hand. Anyways, thanks and go Hokies!!
May 30th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
10- The question I heard Cox answer was about the returning players. I don’t think anybody is forgetting Legion or anybody else coming in this year.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Screw all you fat, old, white honkeys. Why you so interested in me anywayz?
May 30th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
No big suprises here. He supposedly loved his visit to Va Tech.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Lets get 08 going.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
#2 Who are you? You must be the biggest f***********idiot the world has seen. We don’t need any
more midgets.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
Bring on Thorns and see what real defenders do against little people. They make “toss” contests.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:39 pm
Word is Thorns was furnished a string of Pit Bulls by a VT alum to close the deal.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
I would rather have Warren, Zeller, Miller, and then a fourth “wild card” scholarship we could play around with–Singleton, Osby, Green, Clarke etc.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
matt you have some beer?
May 30th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Hell yeah Thorns enjoyed his Va Tech vist!
May 30th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
i have beer come on over!
May 30th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
No BIG loss.
Really - he’s a shrimp!!! I want BIG guards.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
he’s better than me, watch him blow up
May 30th, 2007 at 7:59 pm
check out scout.com profile page of Willie Warren–pay attention to the negatives column and tell me what you think of it…..

#25 apparently they didnt see his dunk from the AAu tourney when they said he had a weakness with finishing. If finishing is a weakness and thats how he dunks over people, I think I can live with those weaknesses.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
lol no kidding
May 30th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
Ok we missed on Lucas and Thorns maybe Pat Day is available if thats what we are looking for.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
28. Pat Day is retired. Maybe Bejarano?
May 30th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Pat Day is retired?!? Its been a long time since ive been to Keeneland
May 30th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
I was taller than thorns when i was 13.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Mini Me is scheduled for an unofficial visit on June 10th. Jared Carter is his host. Mini Me says he’s looking forward to riding around on Jared’s head and seeing the campus.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Thorns isn’t “short”, if ya know what I mean hahaha
May 30th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
#33 please elaborate, im not following
May 30th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
#16 i am pretty sure that #2 was using a comedic tool known as sarcasm
May 30th, 2007 at 8:36 pm
NCAA grants Duke another year for Lacrosse team. I guess under age drinking with strippers is okay
May 30th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Thorns isn’t Atlas hefting the Earth. He just makes a basketball look that way.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:39 pm
He should do well there… I think UK gave him a serious look, but decided it was best not to offer, and I’m confident that was the right decision for everyone. Expect Jasper, Porter and B radley to do a fine job handling the point duties.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
36. Hey, I thought it was OK. Plus, stuff like that encouraged the profs to allow me to stay a few more glorious years.
May 30th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
Has anyone talked about Jamychal Green? 5 star power forward from Alabama? The cats Pause says Kentucky has mada a strong push for him
May 30th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
I made a strong push, but it was after dinner and I felt bloated. I feel better now. I dropped off a huge Andy Katz….
May 30th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
i need some 08 5 stars. Like Warren, Zeller.
May 30th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
We did not lose Thorns……..we never offered….
May 30th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
i need my mom to have my money.
May 30th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
I didn’t think we really needed him, anyway. I do hope he does well and beats the living hell out of Duke and UNC………
May 30th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
say’s lets get this recruiting started.
May 30th, 2007 at 9:39 pm
hay rob are you here?
May 30th, 2007 at 9:39 pm
I’m curious to know what everyone thinks about Jamychal Green. He’s a 5 star that we HAVE indeed offered (2008, I believe). Yet no one ever mentions him. He is a power forward. Does anyone know the scoop on him?
May 30th, 2007 at 9:43 pm
ky rivals got news on him. But pay to play, here your home!
May 30th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
Finally, I just noticed that Mark has a new post on some of the newly mentioned recruits and Jamychal Green is one of the one’s he mentions.
May 30th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
so tell me hank, why do ya drank…………
why do you roll smoke, why must you live out the songs that you wrote……
