according to OUinsider.

a potential class of Crocker, Clark (both appear likely to qualify), Maze and Hall (anything could happen with either, but looking good) would be 3 top 150 players and a juco all-american. all things being equal, considering the circumstances, that's not too bad.

Might have something to do with Shawn James following his coach from Northeastern to Duquesne. He looks like a good player. The Domino effect just continues.

Hall never played for Duquesne, was at Lon Morris Juco last year and was a teammate of Michael Neal's the previous year.

Heck, if he's as good as Neil I'll take him in a heartbeat.

What I was refering to was the changes that the coaching moves are continuing. The new coach for Duquesne is apparently bringing a big man with him. He will have to set out a year but I imagine Hall with 2 years left wants to play as much as he can. He may not have hit it off with the new coach and enter Capel to give him some PT. With a little bit of luck we will still have just as good if not better class than the last few years just not a consensus top five.

From all I've heard and read count me as very suprised if Clark qualifies.

It does sure look like we are likely to get Hall and Maze though. I don't know enough about Maze to have much of an opinion but Hall would be a good get.

The class isn't shaping up to be the top 5 class we first thought it would be but it still could be better than average and Capel already has a great start on 07.

Has the Thabeet, or however you spell it, 7'2" kid declared yet? I saw we were on his top 3 or 5, but didn't hear anything else...

Not that I've seen anyway. I presumed he was a fallback/other option if we didn't get Hall. I know not everyone is too high on Longar (I think he will be pretty solid) but I think if we have Hall and Longar we are covered at the 5 spot, at least compared to our needs at PG.

I'm also a little skeptical of 7' + players that aren't on everyone's short list. I'd take a player like Bogut anyday but I think an athletic 6'9" or 6' 10" guy is the way to go.
