I wouldn't agree that no one knew UC was recruiting their 3 current commitments until a few weeks before they committed. The Enquirer ran an article in the summer naming Nick Williams as a target. I think a lot of us also knew UC was recruiting Whaley and that UC coaches planned to monitor Pilgrim in prep school (his summer play moved him way up the charts and made the coaches feel he was worthy of a scholarship in the early signing period). Just because a guy's rated highly doesn't mean he's UC's top target. I know Whaley and Williams were top UC targets, and Pilgrim approached that level as well with his summer play. From what I've heard, UC stopped recruiting Minor, Gibbs, and Taylor, not the other way around. -- Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball Recruiting Board

I guess I really didn't say it the way I wanted to say it. Although Whaley, Williams, and Pilgrim were targets, they weren't talked about that much where we thought they were at the top of the list. My point was that we rarely get the kids in the top 50 of high school. I didn't do a good job of saying that. Anyway......I don't think we'll get any of those kids on that list except, obviously Butler and I think it's a lock that we'll get Terwilliger. Sorry. (NT) -- Chatter, 21:48:14 11/10/02 Sun
- Wingfield, Fortson, Johnson, Satterfield, Maxiel, Hicks were top 50 and there were more.... -- The Truth Hurts, 06:52:27 11/11/02 Mon
  - You're so full of crap, Truth. -- Chatter, 09:20:01 11/11/02 Mon
  - Huggins has been the proud coach of 5 Mcd's -- bearcatattack, 12:39:02 11/11/02 Mon
    - Other than '99.......they've been pretty scarce. I can't believe Damon Flint was a MD AA......unreal. (NT) -- Chatter, 13:46:44 11/11/02 Mon
