On the flip side, you could suggest that he'd be following in the footsteps of Kelsey Barlow.
Eastern
- Thread starter BBG
- Start date
Whoops... My fault for the scare folks, lol...
Still though, nothing is in the bag.
Congrats....hearing you got him. A few schools, including DePaul, already got "the call". He's a talented one for sure!
Thanks, hopefully you are right. I'm up here in Elgin -- rooting for DePaul -- only a minor DePaul fan because I enjoy listening to Laurence Holmes on the score.
Good luck!
i cant remember getting a recruit to announce for us at press conference or other public forum. can anyone enlighten me please?
The one that goes to Final 4's and puts more guys in the NBA? Regardless, it sounds like MSU withdrew their offer.
I'm not sure what you are asking, but due to the signing date, he will almost certainly sign his LOI at the same time. When about any player signs their LOI, they do it at their school with parents, friends, coaches and the local press is there ... and depending on how good they are or where they are signing, maybe higher press reps.
MSU didn't withdraw, Eastern scratched them off because he doesn't want to play alongside another one of MSU's recruits. I forget who, but it's easily googled.
I ink it was Bowen or Bower. I read that too. I think MSU would have taken Eastern in a heartbeat.
I just don't understand CPR's loser attitude.
I had read that already. That is why I was asking CP where he heard about MSU withdrawing an offer, hadn't seen that anywhere.
Yeah I don't understand it either. It's like he hates Painter so much that he hopes bad things happen so he can come here and post his nonsense. I truly don't even believe he is a Boiler fan, I mean what fan gets that giddy when something goes bad for a school he supposedly supports?
There was talk of it on this board. Plus:
"there is talk that the Spartans may have backed off of him over the last few weeks"
"Nojel Eastern, a 6-foot-6 four-star guard announced on Twitter that he will make his college decision tomorrow at 4:45 p.m. ET. Michigan State recruiting has been in on him for a while, but it seems like the staff may have cooled lately... From my standpoint, of following Michigan State basketball recruiting, it has seemed like Izzo and Co. have backed off of Eastern in the past month or so and instead have focused their attention on five-star forward Brian Bowen and five-star center Brandon McCoy. I’d be shocked to see Eastern pick the Spartans Wednesday."
It does seem MSU backed off for another recruit, a 5 star. They have 3 five star and 3 four star players between 2016-2017. We have 1 four star in Edwards. But I'm sure you all know more than these guys.
So other bloggers are doing what some rip Purdue posters for doing and you are going to assume it as gospel?
Ok. I hadn't seen that. I hope they have cooled to the point they are out of the mix. If he picks DePaul I really don't have an answer for that.
As the saying goes, one's trash it another's treasure. If it's really down to just DePaul and Purdue, it's almost inconceivable that it won't be Purdue.

My quote " it sounds like MSU withdrew their offer". Obviously I have an ability to get you quite worked up over what something "sounds like". Wow, I didn't know you thought so much of what I said! #gospel
I have a hard time believing most of you actually completed a degree. Can you read????
"They have 3 five star and 3 four star players between 2016-2017. We have 1 four star in Edwards."
Good gracious
My apologies for excess on the verbiage. It doesn't discount the primary basis of my suggestion of hypocrisy.
Very true, and even though most of us hoped for a 4 man class where Eastern was one of the lower ranked guys for us, it looks like he COULD be our top 2017 recruit. Hopefully everyone read that carefully... not making a prediction, I said he COULD be our top recruit ranking wise.
I don't think that the MSU bloggers know. It could be a way to rationalize MSU not being in the lead.
Could be. But since Izzo is landing studs lately, I would tend to buy it over what any of us "know" on this board.
I know you would. But, considering that MSU has only signed two so far and they are both bigs, it's just speculation.
This has nothing to do with the other posters whom you are responding to but when I win the multi-million dollar Lotto Drawing can I hire you to be my Body Guard? I'll pay very well.
I don't think I'll have to ever worry about my security.
Okay being from Purdue and skeptical about everything that has to do with sports, I want the official, no doubt word but when this is true I think we ended up with a nice little class now. Of course little (height-wise) is not an accurate description. Just my take.
I guess you're right for the next two hours. Congrats. You won the internet today.
Gotta be honest, and I'm not counting chickens before they hatch, but...
This would be a HUGE get. Watching clips of the kid, I believe he's underrated and the kind of player to whom you hand the keys. His skills, coupled with his size, are rare. Can you imagine Eastern and Edwards together?
