Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
I have nothing against Providence, I actually root for them to a degree and I think Cooley is a fantastic coach. But if we lost Pip to a NE school, even if it's not Uconn, URI or BC, it would just feel weird.
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
I do not see it as losing Pipkins. He wants a change. Go get em, Pip.
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
Glad to see his stock is still high enough to have interest from that list of schools.
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
Love to see him with the Zags 
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
Not surprised to see Providence on that list. Pip dropped 20, 30, and 26 (with a game-winner) in 3 games against the Friars, so they're well aware of what he can do.
Similar for Nevada. Pip went for 30 against them.
Loyola-Chi is hometown. Kind expected DePaul to be on the list for similar reasons.
Pretty wide mix on the others. Fresno State seems like an odd outlier. Thought more Big 10 or Big East schools might be here.

I just want to say thanks to all the coaches that contacted me during this time, but after careful consideration I have decided to use my last year of eligibility to play for coach Ed Cooley and the Providence friars
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
I always thought Cooley was a soft players coach in the Bru and Kellogg mold. I think Pipkins just wanted some place where he could freelance in the end.
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
Good luck Pip
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
Wishing Pip all the best. Thank you for many many great fan experiences.

Honestly that's a kick in the balls.. move closer to home.. move way up..
Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)
Completely agree. He just wanted out. Providence is a bubble program so his exposure will be better provided he gets the minutes, I guess.TheInsider wrote: Sun Mar 24, 2019 4:52 pm Honestly that's a kick in the balls.. move closer to home.. move way up..
