I'd say he's looking more at size, where Davidson is definitely "odd man out."

I don't think so as Cal and Stanford are pretty big.

As are Harvard, Richmond, K State, NC State, Miami, Nebraska, PSU and USC. I don't see anyone there under multiple thousands besides Davidson.

K State's interest (Bruce Weber) suggests Singer is a hard-nosed player who isn't afraid of floor burns.

Sounds to me like a young man who has smarts but is also attracted to the notion of playing big-time basketball. Understandable. I am not sure size is necessarily a key issue with him. As I understand he is a big-time recruit for us, I hope, as he sorts through these issues, that he will value the opportunity to be a central player at DC while playing against top competition, having an opportunity to annually win a conference title, and receiving one of the nation's top educations. What a great combination!

Singer and Sullivan can start a variety show....

I'd guess that's it. Clearly hasn't decided what is more important. I'd take a great education with a good basketball program.
Whoops already did.

Fascinatingly simple and convincing post by "Acorn" -- a scoring roadmap of sorts that points to Davidson at every juncture. Let's hope this recruit (and others as well) has the same 20/20 vision when it comes to making his choice!

Update on Davidson PG target Jack Gibbs, who tore his ACL early in his junior season.

Twitter comment (Ryan James) that Connor Voss, 6'11" center from St. Cloud, Mn received an offer from Davidson on July 26th; Yahoo Sports shows offer and indicates he has a visit scheduled for 9/22.

I like the fact that his visit to Davidson is the last of the three he has scheduled. That sort of timing has seemed to work well for us in the past.
