NMSU is simply recruiting them right now but he wanted to make the other WAC fans aware of what NMSU (Jans) is targeting. When (if) they commit to NMSU, I am sure he will had them to the commit thread.

No contest. Sorry Dan and Mr. Colangelo.

The Finke transfer really did nothing to impress at Illinois. He stunk when we played against him. Young Finke hasn't proven anything. The transfers who are not eligible yet were ok at their previous schools, nothing spectacular. I don't think Rhymes is that much better than Vernon or Glaze. Again, every year since Majerle took over we hear the same thing every year about a breakthrough recruiting class but still the same result, end up 2nd or 3rd and lose in the first round in a crappy tourney.

I think GCU's recruiting classes have always been decent but in no way shape or form going to get them to Top 25 Gonzaga like status that Majerle is always blathering about. Like I said in the past, since Majerle took over and since Royce Woolridge was the first savior transfer that was going to make them get over the hump supposedly, they have done well getting 20 plus wins by playing pansies all at home on their OCC schedule in front of the Havocs and loading up with pretty decent players. However, they have not broke through like even Bakersfield did winning a WAC regular season and tourney title and getting to the final four in the NIT, the only other real post season tourney that means anything. Unlike GCU, Utah Valley has even won games in those buy in tourneys. So far, ZERO post season wins other than the WAC tourney. I love our GCU guys on this site, no disrespect. I'm just not buying in just yet on what I have seen up to this point with Majerle at the helm. I think this coming year another 3rd or 4th place finish is in GCUs future for the upcoming year, especially if NMSU snags those two top 10 juco forwards adding on to an already pretty solid team coming back.

The Lopes won 2 games and made it to the Quaterfinals of the 2016 CIT Tournament.

If a coach really wants a player, you make room on your roster.
