RE: Jamar Butler scenario

[Brad Holdheide]

Backing off Jamar for ANY reason is a mistake IMO and likely never happened.
Jamar is likely going to be a great player and is a local Ohio kid who
wanted to be a Bearcat his whole life (tongue in cheek).....so WHY would you
do anything to jeopardize his verbal commitment.

I'd say Jamar backed out, UC didn't.

Subject: [UC Basketball] Jamar Butler scenario


So what do you all think of this scenario regarding Jamar Butler.

Bearcat staff finds out there is a strong possibilty that Isaiah Swann will 
commit if he is told he can play the one (there is a report on the 
recruiting page that he will commit to a school where he can play the one).

Staff brings this up with Jamar and asks if he will consider playing the 2. 
Jamar wants to play the point. Meanwhile Terwilliger and OSU are telling 
Jamar he can play the point.

Staff starts looking for a relacement for Jamar should he consider going 
elsewhere and find Vincent Banks willing to commit.

Jamar Decommits, opening door for Swann.

Just some thoughts...But if the staff can land Swann and get a similar 
player to replace Butler, it could turn out to be a really good class.

But when are they going to land a center...
