Dave in Green Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Interesting story on a player (Trey Zeigler) being recruited by Duke, UCLA, Michigan State and Michigan who might end up being a superstar in the MAC at CMU: ESPN Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well his hometown is Mount Pleasant, so I'm hoping thats the only reason he's even considering them. I just don't see why anyone as talented as him would want to go there...this is most likely just a Jakarr Sampson situation. A kid just getting an offer from a hometown school, without really any chance of going there, at least I hope thats all it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 That, and the CMU coach has been wining and dining the kid's mom for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kid just getting an offer from a hometown school, without really any chance of going there, at least I hope thats all it is I get the we don't want others to have a competitive edge. But with Zeke and this kid, MAC overall begins to improve. We should be rooting for a few teams to get these types of players, especially if they are in the West!!!

Quickzips Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 In keeping with the small, but growing anti-Dambrot sentiment around here these days... Where the hell is KD on this stuff? Doesn't he know that you need to actually sleep with the kids mom if you want to land top talent like this? Isn't he keeping up with the latest trends in recruiting? How are we ever going to keep up with the rest of the MAC if he isn't going to go to these lengths to bring in some good talent? We need to fire him and hire someone who is a below average coach but has a son who is a five-star recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horror! I don't believe that marital status was cited in the story. The Toledo Blade reports that the letter allegedly comes from a Dawn K. Gears of Ottawa Hills, and was supposedly dated dated Nov. 5, 2009, but not delivered (hand delivered, no less) to the university until March 5, 2010. The letter was reportedly unsigned, which means that it could have been typed up by anyone, so already there are oddities in the case that could point in several different directions. Coincidentally, a Dawn K. Gears of Ottawa Hills and a Jeffrey J. Gears were reported by ToledoLegalNews.com to be in foreclosure on their jointly owned Toledo residence as of Oct. 16, 2009 -- 3 weeks before the letter was allegedly written. They were apparently served at two different residences. No way of determining exactly what was going on there, but it certainly adds another odd wrinkle to the case. ToledoLegalNews.com Link As an investigative newspaper reporter, I once covered many police investigations and court cases, and know how to dig deeply into cases like this one. But it's not appropriate in this forum to go beyond what's already out there in the public domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHA I do too, it's not going to happen though. If we would have made the tourney our chances may have been better. But we choked and a kid coming out of high school wants to be in the tourney and I don't mean the CBI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
