That really is incredible. I have to say, however, most of the comments I have read by the Pitt fans have been very complimentary of not only TJ but Talley & Jones as well. It will be fun watching these guys play together and develop. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Motor 's message, "Incredible just incredible to see the Pitt Fans raving about TJ. I cant wait to see him in a Dukes Uniform and never have I seen one of our recruits get such publicity before coming in locally. But hes not a shooter hes a scorer. Oh I forgot he shot 50% from 3 and did it against top notch Div1 players summer league or not. WOW! Thanks for the info CLK" on Friday, July 23, 07:36:53am

Motor, publicity-wise, I know BB Flenory had a big build-up upon arrival. Pipkins and Kevin Price, too. But the Internet really has kicked things up a notch, hasn't it? Welcome back - great to be talking B A S K E T B A L L again! (NT) -- El Duque, Friday, July 23, 12:32:25pm

Thanks for the welcome El D and I will throw out another big hype ATKINS and ARNOLD but your right the Web has kicked it up intensely. I love our freshmen and this class if it stays together has the potential to be one of the all time best! We can only hope! (NT) -- Motor, Friday, July 23, 12:58:58pm

Who could forget the A-trains (no disrespect to Don Vito L-Train)? Their arrival coincided with the hiring of Mike Rice and had the city quite pumped. I think this year's frosh class will indeed pump some new life into the program. It's nice that we already have some good talent already here, for a change.

- The Atkins & Arnold hype was the biggest I can recall. And for someone who left town, how about Lloyd Moore's recruitment? A big factor in him leaving town was he was tired of all the publicity. (NT) -- VBC, Friday, July 23, 03:09:54pm
  - Wow, Lloyd Moore. He was John's "little" brother, right? He and Billy Varner (BB's cousin) were guys in the pre-Internet days who were thought to be "locks" for us. Lloyd had a world of potential but an injury at Marquette and the inability to control his weight at Rutgers cost him. Varner was decent at Notre Dame. I heard he wanted to be a "big PG" but Rice had him pegged for the frontcourt. Bet someone has the real scoop on both ... (NT) -- El Duque, Friday, July 23, 04:00:14pm
