Antonio Falu

12/18: "has reneged on Valparaiso and now is supposed to be heading to Texas Christian. Supposed is the key word here, because Falu's word doesn't appear to be worth the price of the piece of paper it is printed on. If you will recall, Falu signed with the Crusaders this fall, but never mailed them the original copy of his National Letter-of-Intent and, as a result, the faxed copy that he sent them has become null and void. Falu also led Louisville on during the recruiting process for a long time two years ago, but later committed to Alabama. However, that didn't hold up either, as he became the subject of a NCAA investigation. So he signed with Houston, but failed to make it academically and, as a result, went the junior college route. In other words, Falu can't sign a binding National Letter-of-Intent until spring with TCU, so he still has plenty of time to change his mind several more times." - HoopScoop

12/3/00(approx): "He recently signed a National Letter-of-Intent with Valparaiso. Falu did sign a letter, and he did return it that same day via fax to the Valpo basketball office. However, Swaim tells us that Falu his since changed his mind and, as a result, never mailed the original copy of the letter to the Crusaders. This is important because the school has 21 days to submit the hard copy of the letter to the NCAA. If that does not happen, the language on the letter is not binding. Swaim tells us that a faxed letter-of-intent does allow the school and coach to publicly comment on the signing of a player. Eventually, though, the school needs to get a hard copy of the letter to make the agreement legal. If a player decides to transfer once that happens, NCAA rules dictate that a player has to sit out one year if the school releases him and two years if the school doesn't." - High Wired Sports



11/3: "6'5 combo guard Antonio Falu of San Jacinto (TX) JC is now hearing from the Bearcats and has decided to wait until the Spring, which tells me that he's now considering UC." - Greg Swaim/FastBreak

9/26/00: "Oklahoma State and Texas Christian are the co-favorites for 6'4 Antonio Falu from San Jacinto (JC) TX. However, the smart money is on the Cowboys, because Falu and current Oklahoma State freshman 6'10 David Anderson and Falu are not only good friends, but were teammates on the Houston Jaguars club team two years ago."
