Re: big man help is on the way, maybe

[Nick Owens]

I also read on another message board that Mick is looking at a German 7 
footer that is good defensively but a little rough offensively. Apparently 
they have checked his eligibility and if he is in fact looking at this 
mystery german i would look for him to sign him if we do not get mcclain. 
The person that posted that information also posted that apprently crowell 
will give up his scholarship one way or the other (leave or become a walk 
on) and that warren has also talked about leaving. The poster also said that 
Alvin Mitchell is down to UC and VT with his coach pushing hard for VT and 
his mom pushing hard for UC. Apparently when he came to the WVU game he was 
rooting pretty hard for UC so we'll see how that pans out. Hopefully this 
info is accurate as it was posted on another message board and being a 
frequent there i know the poster to not be someone who fabricates 
information just to drum up convo.
