They seem to be running a bit behind with the announcment
Just a bit.
seems like the guys on the Buffalo board think he is picking them based off the vague statement they were given by their athletic dept today.
I have no clue whether this is even real lol, a Twitter search of Antonio Reeves brings no buzz. I get he's not a 4 or 5 star prospect but you'd think there would be something.
Illinois State
There we go. Not surprised, desperate teams do desperate things.
Reeves, a three-star recruit by Rivals, announced during a news conference at Simeon that he signed a national letter of intent with the Redbirds earlier in the week. The 6-foot-4 wing guard made official recruiting visitis to ISU, Southern Illinois and Buffalo in the spring.
Damn, I really thought we'd get Reeves. Best of luck to him. I guess we'll be seeing him at least twice a year!
There were some concerns raised in premium in the last week about Reeves. I wish Bryan could have got him but I am not sure how big of a miss this is. 3 high schools, tried to sell himself to big time schools, dad handling recruitment, big announce production. Somebody said it seemed like a Caroline situation where he was showcasing for a year for the big boys. We will see I wish him the best of luck. I wish if he was not going to SIU he would have chose Buffalo though
Doesn't bother me, other than losing anything to Redturd U is sickening..
Reeves was a 2nd team IBCA all-stater .. like Saluki Lance Jones. 2nd team AP too - Lance Jones was 1st team.
According to Scout.com, Payton was our highest ranked recruit from Illinois.

Sounds exactly like Caroline to me. First bit of success and he'll probably bolt. Might be next year if Muller doesn't last, won't have to sit.

I am not too broken up about this one.
(Inflammatory political snark)
meh. jump on that sinking ship son. it's circling the bowl.
I soured on this kid a long time ago, what with his three high schools in four years, his stringing us along waiting for what (a bigger program, or something else?), being the drama queen with the press conference (for a three star?) in Chicago and the question of Qualifying. I predict (most of my predictions are usually wrong) he will bolt after one year or he will go juco this coming year or the next. I'm a glass half-full kind of person, but not on this kid. I think we got the better end of the deal.
Good for him. He chose the school he thought was the best fit for him. I hope we spank him for it every time we see him over the next four years.
