Perhaps, the University of Iowa was a bit peeved that a kid they just offered a scholarship, didn't know the actual name of the university.

I thought it was so important that I posted it twice. Actually, the page reloaded when I hit reply, so I hit reply again.
I saw a short video clip of Joe in which he ran the floor for a dunk. Young man looks impressive, strong, agile with more than decent hops. Could be the shot blocker that we desperately need.
Check out the video associated with this nola article.

Mike Dunleavy Sr. just took the Tulane job; wonder if this will affect Joseph's decision. Hope he chooses to become a Spider. OSC
when i was right out of college and living in columbia, dunleavy was an excellent player for frank mcguire there at usc so he has to be in his 60s now, right? know there are guys older, one in the final four coming here this week but to take over a program at this age?????? tulane must really be hurting
Yep, Spinner liked to talk about Larranaga being old and the Miami job was a retirment gig for him. I'd take that oldster Larranaga at 66 any day.
heck, i retired too early if these guys are still going strong. by 62, had been out of working for a while and enjoying free time. more power to them but would not want us to hire a new coach in that age range. yes, am old, still do whatever i want but coaching a D-1 program is a bear
Posted this earlier; watch it one more time for the kids. OSC

Looks like us and a collection of garbage. Close the deal, staff!
Not really. We have no business recruiting guys like this. I like the Marcus Jenkins strategy of going after solid, highly rated kids who have other high major offers.
We will lose more than we win in the recruiting business. I'm not going to get too down on missing out on guys where we are probably their best offer. Have to agree with Ulla, that he was probably not our number 1 target (although Ulla says that about everyone after they turned us down).
can't land everybody. if we did where would we put them?
for a while, each recruiting miss was painful. I can brush off misses now because the last 5 or 6 commitments plus the level of prospects we're involved with totally eases my mind. we're recruiting very well.
