UCONN, though 2 hours away, was too far away for his family to travel. He wanted to be closer to home. That variable worked in Rutgers favor, and one of the reasons why the ASU faithful were dead wrong. Although he did take an official, thay in itself worried against them. If it was just UCONN versus an ASU battle, it would've worked out favorably for you. That and he felt in his heart, that Rutgers was rising and improving year to year.
Rutgers a young team and expectations are higher for them next year. Why wouldn't you want to be a part of that and with spaceat the positionfor him?
Creepy urinal peepers?
Said Muhammad Oliver: “That situation helped [Arizona State] get to this point. But Rutgers did such a great job, that it didn’t matter. Cliff was going to commit earlier, but when Rasheen got to Arizona State, that kind of shook things up so that’s what the delay was. The delay was he had to get to know Bobby and [assistant] Rashon [Burno] and all the other players. Our relationship with Rasheen isn’t going to change, but for him to go all the way to Arizona State, it had to be bigger than Rasheen.”
Along with his youth (+ for healing) he already seems to have an A+ Attitude toward goals both individual and team and the the will to win. In some ways reminds me of Okafor. This long term recovery voyage is not for the faint of heart. He also probably learned a few things about courage and character from the example of his Husky teammate Alterique Gilbert. Talk about "profiles in courage". Amazing how young people's courage in the face of adversity can be an inspiration to everyone. As a child my teacher used to read to us about young people who overcame great adversity. One was Glenn Cunningham, a world record holder in running whose legs were so badly burned as a child that doctors thought that they would have to be amputated and that he would certainly never walk again. His mother never gave up hope and massaged those legs every day and at one point he was able to walk across the room. The rest is history and one of those stories that can inspire everyone to not give up hope. Praying for Akok! Isaiah 40:31.
It’s another school to recruit against. We don’t want Rutgers to be good.
No, no... that would count for UConn... I'm just not sure why.
