Seems like that west coast road swing has gone well!

When looking for sleepers in the west, Marcus Ruppel might be one of the best. The 6-foot-7 forward from Deer Valley High School in Arizona fits the mold of someone that is lying under the radar.

Even after a successful junior campaign where he averaged 21.4 points and 9.8 rebounds a game and a strong performance at the Pangos All-American camp in June, Ruppel is still waiting to break out on the high-major scene.

Marcus Ruppel is eying a handful of fall visits.

"I would like to think [that I am a sleeper]," Ruppel says. "I haven't been playing with the biggest club team out there so people haven't really be able to see me this summer. When I see all of these big names going to all of these schools, I think I can play with them. But that's okay. I'll go and get my education somewhere at a mid-major and then do my thing there."

If one thing is for certain, Ruppel is a must-get guy for a number of quality mid-level programs.

He is claiming offers from Boise State, Lamar, San Diego, San Diego State, Oregon State, James Madison, George Mason, UC Riverside and UTEP. USC, Arizona State and UNLV are also in the mix, he said.

Ruppel will take the SAT for the first time on Sept. 13, he said. Shortly after taking the test, he will set up dates for his official visits. Ruppel said he does have a handful of schools that he would like to consider visiting.

"The only four that I know for sure is UTEP, Lamar, Boise State and Oregon State," he said. "UTEP has been on me really hard. They do a good job of staying on top of me."

Ruppel participated at San Diego over the summer, too. The plan, he says, is to sign early in November after taking his official visits.

"I want to find somewhere on the West Coast and somewhere that I can play and get a good education," Ruppel said. "After college, I will be set and be able to do whatever I want if I can find that."

Edit: I know some of you make think this guy is a long shot, but if we can get a visit, which he says he wants to do, you never know! I would encourage everybody to get out to the Montagne this year so we can get guys like this to play for our team! He would make an immediate impact his freshmen year for sure.

I think Coach Dominguez may be responsible for this but who knows. It should also be mentioned that another article i read on him said that he is an honor student with a 3.2 GPA.

I don't believe Mobil Oil is the refinery behind the Montagne Center. Why would you want to camouflage "money"? One day one of these refineries just may make a large donation to the athletic department.

I was starting to miss your comments, or at least the factual ones!

Mobil, Standard, Motiva, Texaco, or whatever! It's time to shell out some money to the program.  ;)

I think part of the campus master plan is to plan some type of tall trees behind the stadium and the Montagne Center.  One thing that bugs me about watching a game on the west side of the arena is you can see the trains through the exits across the way.

We've talked about this before but the Montagne definitely needs an upgrade, not so much the seats but the scoreboard and concessions.  Also, telling recruits they'll be playing in front of 1000 fans for conference away games can't be too exciting.

BTW, it looks like Marcus Ruppel has verbally committed to UTEP.

Man, sometimes I do long for the good ol' days. Scandal, sex, cheating and illegal players in college sports. I had a dad tell me this past weekend his son isn't accepting any offers from schools unless they offer something under the table.

The men's basketball program (UTCC), led by former Miami coach Perry Clark, is also a target of the report. The NCAA alleges an assistant coach made at least 43 impermissible phone calls to four recruits. A separate allegation involves the program providing impermissible recruiting inducements to a possible transfer, including transportation to the border town of Laredo so the player could renew his immigration documentation.

Included among the allegations is a secondary violation involving men's basketball, in which the NCAA said Teter told Clark to use personal funds for recruiting and not program funds.

Clark did not immediately return a call to his office on Saturday.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      Phelan and Karl Rove!

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
