Rambacker - thanks for the info - do you expect us to sign anyone this spring? (NT) -- EC'71, Tue April 26, 2005 14:28:06
Fordham Recruits -- Jasper Maven, Tue April 26, 2005 15:00:18
- AAU coach said Manhattan checked him out several times. He was never offered by Manhattan. (NT) -- Rambacker, Tue April 26, 2005 15:37:48
  - Manhattan didn't offer him? The Albany Times-Union and his high school coach disagree- link inside. -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 18:30:49
    - What's the deal, RB? I thought your AAU coach said that Manhattan hadn't offered? (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 21:21:18
      - I don't have time to look this up but the AAU coach may not know the whole story. The question is, who cares? Do you work? How the hell can you be so preoccupied with me that you just hang here and wait for my posts? Absolutely pathetic. Get a life. (NT) -- Rambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 12:21:37
- His high school coach claimed that Manhattan had shown interest. Your info in incorrect. (NT) -- Ramfan, Tue April 26, 2005 16:43:12
  - Not even close. Nice try, but I'll take the AAU coach I talked to about him over you any time. You have already proved your lack of credibility. (NT) -- Rambacker, Tue April 26, 2005 17:08:40
    - Hey smart guy, his AAU coach and his high school coach are THE SAME PERSON, former Fordham player Billy Lovett. Maybe you should keep your mouth shut next time. (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 14:53:55
      - You obviously have no idea who you are talking to. You don't have the slightest idea of who I am, what I know, or who I speak with within the basketball community. But, despite how oblivious you are to my identity, you know me better than you realize. At some point, it might click. And you're going to look like quite the buffoon when it does. (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 15:05:54
        I could care less who you are and will continue to point out all of your inaccurate statements here. And again, your statement above is moronic. I didn't talk to his AAU coach, I talked to an AAU coach I know who coached against him. You are really simple, and continue to embarrass yourself. I'd give it up. Seriously. People are laguhing at you. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 15:20:47
        So let me get this straight- you'd rather trust the information of an AAU coach who only PLAYED against Trimboli versus the guy who coaches him in AAU and high school basketball (and is handling his recruitment)?? That is the most assinine thing I've ever heard. Stop trying to pretend that you're an authority on these prospects with this third-hand info. And actually, Scout.com also cites Manhattan's interest per his coach, Billy Lovett. Are you implying that your sources are more credible? That's preposterous. Give it up, old man. (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 18:22:53
        The coach I know has knowledge of the entire recruiting situation for this second tier player. Everything he told me has been confirmed by a 2nd source today. So yes, you do need to "get things straight" and find out the real story about a recruit before you post. You are a weirdo wannabe poster who doesn't have a clue and tries to appear as if you do. I would spend your time on a high school message board(perhaps your high school alma mater) if you want to have any credibility. Because you certainly have none here. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 19:37:13
        You just revealed how completely irrational and delusional you are with this post (as if either was in doubt). You would actually trust the information of your "AAU contact" as opposed to the person who ACTUALLY HANDLING the kid's recruitment: his high school coach. This is the guy the college coaches are calling!! But you are so pompous that you won't back down, despite the fact that what you are saying is completely illogical. Credibility? It remains to be seen whether or not you even have a grip on REALITY. You are a joke. (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 21:13:03
        The facts are the facts, and I stated them above. End of story. By the way - who cares about this player? You're wasting my time. (NT) -- Rambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 07:49:03
        wasting your time? youre on this board 24-7, if hes wasting your time, it's only preventing you from finding new websites to pillage. (NT) -- slambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 13:09:24
        Will you get the hell off this board? For good? Everyone who comes on here for news is sick of your bs. You are an idiot and a loser. (NT) -- CBA '80, Thu April 28, 2005 17:09:01
        why dont you make me, you old fart (NT) -- slambacker, Fri April 29, 2005 09:27:03
        Perhaps you need help with your grammar, too. Any rational person would think "AAU coach said this.." was referring to the kid's AAU coach, not some opposing coach. Why weren't you more specific? (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 18:26:30
        Incorrect. That assumption is yours, not the typical reader. If you went to Fordham, you should be embarrassed. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 19:39:24
        You should be a little more careful next time. You look like a fool. (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 21:14:46
        Reading comprehension is something you're supposed to arrive at Fordham with, not leave without. (NT) -- Rambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 07:50:08
        i know who ramfan is and he is right, rambacker is looking quite the fool right now (NT) -- slambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 16:40:30
        You know who ramfan is because you are the same person. That's obvious. Anything else new? (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 19:40:32
        The only thing obvious here is your senility. Slambacker's not me. This is the only name I post under, for the umpteenth time. (NT) -- Ramfan, Wed April 27, 2005 21:25:44
        Yeah,and I went to Iona. Next joke? (NT) -- Rambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 07:51:05
        we're not the same person, jerkoff. and it is hilarious that you don't know who ramfan is. if you did, you'd be kissing his ass. (NT) -- slambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 08:58:52
        Actually, if ramfan knew who I was, he'd be doing so. You have no idea. (NT) -- Rambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 11:56:16
        Then perhaps the two of you should create anon email addresses and contact each other and reveal identities. some of us have more important things to do, like discuss fordham athletics and berate you for stealing other sites' content. (NT) -- slambacker, Thu April 28, 2005 13:11:32
A few more that we recruited: Jessie Sapp, 6' 3" 2G - Signed with Georgetown/Raymond Sykes, 6' 9" PF - Signed with Clemson/Andre Smyth, 6' 7" F - Signed with Central Michigan/Chester Frazier, 6' 1" PG - Signed with Illinois/Saiquan Stone, 6' 5" SF - Unsigned (Providence? Pitt?) (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 11:25:05
