I am still very optimistic Tugs will end up at CU. Looking at his and his mom's twitter accounts, there have been more recent posts referencing CU than the other schools he is considering. His mom even retweeted a quote from Bruce Rasmussen, none of the other schools' officials of places Tugs is considering were ever retweeted. I think it is between us and Arizona. In comparing: 1. Potential to be on powerhouse team next year - about equal, Arizona is also stacked, with more top recruits coming in next year. 2. Style of play - both schools have uptempo style, are fun to watch, and would equally showcase Tugs huge abilities. 3. Home crowds - equal, both schools sell out games. CU has higher average attendance because of larger arena. Fan base equally charged up. 4. Coaches - slight edge to Sean Miller, only beacause he has been consistently on top for more years. Also depends whether Tugs prefers high energy sometimes edgy Miller or cool customer McDermott. Both are clearly players' coaches. 5. Intangibles - does Tugs want smaller more intimate school or go to school with tens of thousands of students. Does Tugs want to be closer or further from home. Exposure - about the same, both major conferences. Weather and women - hopefully that is not a Tugs priority. 6. Education - don't know what Tugs wants to be after he plays in the NBA. Creighton has slight edge overall, but Arizona obviously offers more career paths due to its size.
