Solid player as a senior, a la Harrellson.Originally posted by TNCatfanforever:
I don't have any skin in the game. Zimmerman is a better than average player. Not a player to build a team around. He is not worth all this attention. Not a Towns or Okafor,not even close.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The last great white center we signed from out west was named Rob Lock. The over 50 crowd will remember how this worked out.
Not sure its comparable, Harris, a Kentucky boy, came to everything free both basketball and football that he could and then signed with Bama. With Zimmerman we are the other team, his home school is UNLV, why wouldn't they full court press him into staying home. He hasn't taken us for a nickle and I don't believe he BSed us at all, I think he and his mother likes UK very very much. But if the kid wants to stay home I can understand that.Originally posted by gracetoyou:
This reminds me of the Damion Harris footall recruitment. Damion played everyone the last 2 weeks although he already knew.
All signs point to UNLV...I think the kid has cold feet worrying he will get lost in the crowd at UK. I'm sure UNLV coaching staff is feeding him this bull. I'm sure there giVing him the town hero garb that never happens...& how he'll be in the spotlight bease of bring "the guy"...etc.
If he does leave after one year it won't be in the first round.Originally posted by lwbb:

I don't have an idea but its easy to see that you don't have a clue either about whether he is first round or not. Just because he hasn't signed with us and may not doesn't stop the fact that the kid is a PLAYER. By denying that you show little ability to evaluate high school talent and a little butt hurt. .Originally posted by madskilz:

This whole home town crap in Vegas is comedy. For anyone that's spent any time in Vegas NOT gambling (the best man at my wedding and friend for 25 years lived there for 12 years and is a UNLV grad), most locals know UNLV sports exist, and many follow to some extent, but kids there aren't glorified out on the town like they are at places like UK. It's Vegas - there are 1000 other celebrities roaming around any given minute. People go to the games and fans may know the kids' names, but that's about where the "hero" ends.Originally posted by gracetoyou:

Cold feet? Maybe watching all of the attention - negative and positive - even our best players received from both the TV and the internet makes kids think twice when it's time to make that decision. Just like Cal says - UK isn't for everyone, and he means the pressure and overly-analytic criticism from fans and the media (mainly fans, we can be harsh).Originally posted by Wall2Boogie:
If he wants to be the next anthony Bennett at unlv, more power to him. All I would like to know is what changed that made him decide he wanted to stay in Vegas? For months he was a heavy UK lean and out of nowhere he dreams of playing for the rebels. My question would be for these possible OAD guys who chose to stay and play at their home school. If they have dreams of playing in the nba do they not realize chances are they will have to relocate to states that could be 3000 miles from home? I understand 3 and 4 year guys but if Zimmerman wants to play in the league it won't be for a team in Vegas. Hopefully he gets drafted to a team 4,000 miles from Nevada. I've never understood OAD guys wanting to play their one year at home.
Finally now we can move on.Originally posted by Chico&TheMan:

DELETE this thread please. It has no basis. People just getting upset over a rumor. The guy will commit to UK. Just stop it already.
Are you going to come back here and eat crow? I'm glad you got a big laugh and refused to accept the obvious. News flash for future reference. Before you call someone out and make a fool of yourself, realize that if multiple sources have reported a player is going to a specific school at the same time realize that the kid is going to that school and just wants the attention to reveal it himself, okay?Originally posted by caneintally:
There are alot of posts in this thread like MD said that are pretty funny like this one but i don't think the OP realizes it .Originally posted by HeismanWildcat85:
He's gone. He just wants his moment of suspense that people keep stealing from him.
Time to move on.

passing the info is fine but your title is total bull crap . I so can't wait for Z and especially Newman to commit to UK so these things can be laughed at like they should be.....Originally posted by CPaliafito:
Settle down buddy. Passing along an article - no need to throw a temper tantrum. Maybe take a Xanax or something.
I don't get butt hurt pal. Zimmerman to Vegas. Not a big loss to me. Bet you're butt hurt thoughI don't have an idea but its easy to see that you don't have a clue either about whether he is first round or not.
