Scout - Donnovan Kirk Piling Up Offers - What's Next?

m_sell31 · 03-18-2008, 06:07 PM

I hope Kirk is next!

Jersey Spartan · 03-18-2008, 06:13 PM

I think Appling will commit for '10 before MSU gets another '09 commit. It just seems like Appling is the closest to pulling the trigger. I have heard this Sherman commit may pressure Kirk into commiting though so you could be right m_sell31.

I'd take Appling too

But I like Kirk out of the remaining 09' bigs.

Update on Scout.

Crow · 04-05-2008, 07:58 PM

so what kind of game does he have? back to the basket? mid range? is he a legit PF?

and most importantly, is he agressive?

Jersey Spartan · 04-05-2008, 08:21 PM

His nickname is "Pogo". He dunks everything in the paint. He is really athletic. Not much of an medium or outside range shot. When I hear people describe him I think of Marquise Gray.

Scout - Donnovan Kirk Piling Up Offers - What's Next?

Offers from USC, Miami, MSU, and USF. Recently visited South Florida. Going to start narrowing down schools in July. Any new teams are too late.

NorCal Spartan · 04-07-2008, 01:36 PM

Surprised to see USF involved. That would be a big get for Stan Heath.

Winters in Florida.Big East competition.

Jersey Spartan · 04-07-2008, 03:01 PM

Yep. I would not shock me if he went to USF or USC.

DrTre11 · 04-08-2008, 02:19 PM

This kid has got to chose MSU. We can offer some good playing time at that position and he'll be a part of some great teams coming up.

He did not have that much better of a year than riley did. While both Riley and Kirk have offers Izzo isnt exactly pressing either for a commitment. It seemed according to that article msu is slow playing him. That's what I took from it. If Izzo pressed he would be a State commit long ago.

I don't understand something here. If you have an offer and you want to play at a school, you don't necessarily have to have love from the coaches too. The offer is the love. It seems it would be a dangerous thing for there to be offers out there to kids we really don't want to sign. Does that really happen?

Jeebus, North Carolina with 3 5* PF committed for 2009. Sickening.

Seriously, a good get for The U. There was talk he really liked South Florida.

peter465 · 04-30-2008, 01:24 PM

That sucks.... I dont know how much I really like this kid.

Everything I read is that his stock is dropping and that he doesn't play with any passion.

There are multiple players I would have rather had commit....

1. Jamil Wilson
2. Noel Johnson
3. Howell

Also... who can actually confirm this: last post says he has a solid verbal to MSU via Scout.com (or Rivals.com) but the message/post above it says that he already committed to South Florida?

peter465 · 04-30-2008, 01:26 PM

What the hell?

Rivals and Scout both say he committed to South Florida...
