I would like to see DU more open with recruiting, but in a way I understand. Case in point two years ago we were recruiting Lance Jeter. He came down to DU & Nebraska and that information was posted on this board. One person, who no longer posts here and knew nothing of his talent, made a bunch of comments as to how he was too fat and did not want him. Of course Jeter went on to be one of the better players in the Big 12 last year. Not saying the comments infulenced his decision, but comments like that don't help. Pretty sure it pissed Ron off. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Abdul Rahman 's message, "TMH, Pennlive.com has listed an offer from DU to Donovan Jack 6'8" from Reading Central, and said DU has interest in Mike Zangari 6'10" from Red Lands HS. Both are from the class of 2012, and live in the southeastern part of Pa. "Offical" visits are limited to 15 ( ?? may be lower than that at this point ) per school year for hoops. I'm sure Ron E uses them judiciously. DU's philosophy is certainly to keep things as secret as possible - different strokes for different folks - as some schools like to get the info out." on Wednesday, October 20, 12:59:19pm

RE reads this board or has close cronies that do. He makes references to things posted here at different times. Never directly, but I know he is aware of what goes on here and we all have to pull in the same direction. (NT) -- Alan, Wednesday, October 20, 04:50:33pm

  - Ok, he doesn't. (NT) -- Alan, Wednesday, October 20, 06:03:34pm
- I agree Alan. Ron is a smart guy. I know he knows of this board. I don't know how much he reads it, but he is aware of what goes on here. I am an Everhart fan, and glad he is our coach. I got to tell you, however, some of the stuff I read pisses me off, so I can only imagin how Ron feels. You have to have thick skin to be a coach. Fair criticism is one thing, made up BS and cheap shots are another. (NT) -- CLK, Wednesday, October 20, 06:04:12pm
  - Not just Ron, but the players, recruits and their families. We know that for a fact because some of them have posted here openly from time to time. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, October 20, 06:22:41pm
    - Now I have to go back and check my old posts esp my Wish List series :-) (NT) -- TMH, Wednesday, October 20, 07:40:49pm
      - If you're on the mark about incoming recruits, then may all your wish lists come true. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, October 20, 09:53:52pm
