| Since classes started several days ago, surely someone knows for sure if he's enrolled or can find out. It will be great if he is - sounds like he's a solid player.
Isn't it a wonderful change that we have all these prospects, both scholarship and walk-on, to talk about? It wasn't that long ago that recruiting news was just a recap of players signed and usually they weren't that great. It was a BIG deal to sign someone during the early fall period. Now we have 2 VERBALS. Who would have thunk it? A HUGE season like last year built upon the turnaround of the previous few years has taken our recruiting definitely to a higher level. Let's hope the new staff can continue the success on the court to keep all this interest going. |

| | He's definitely enrolled and a player confirmed to me that one of two new walkons was from Colorado so unless anyone knows another player from Colorado that would walk on I'm guessing he's on the team. |

He is now listed on the official roster at Drake's web site.

| | i first met cory when we were both in 4th or 5th grade when we wound up on the same team. during the next few years we dominated our league. i played point...cory at center. when high school rolled around i started paying less and less attention to basketball. i started to do snowboard comps cause i thought it would be more rewarding then b-ball. i knew we were a small mountain town and there was no way anybody would ever get any type of recruiting hype what so ever. im glad i was wrong. cory has worked harder then anyone i know to get to where hes at. he is truly a great baller but an even greater person. i know he will continue to work at his game and do anything possible to get to an even greater level. his basketball IQ is unbelievible. not to mention a pretty damn good overall IQ aswell. i honetsly think that this kid would be playing at an elite program if he were raised in a big city (not taking anything away from Drake of course). His stroke is almost flawless and his handling skills are of a PG. the main thing he needs to do is get his vertical up and improve on over all quickness. he knows this though...so thats why im confident that those things will not be a problem. i hope he gets a chance to be a real part of this team in years to come. if he is given the oppurtunity to contribute and shine he will. my best wishes go out to cory and all of the drake nation. i hope you all have a great year and get back to the big dance. i know ill be watching. |

| | Can somebody tell me if Cory is a diamond in the rough? It just keeps nagging at me. His high school bio as listed on the roster web site seems ideal. Everytime someone talks about our guys getting pushed around under the boards, I think of Cory. He has the height and what seems to be on paper, more bulk than Hawley and Simons. Can he jump? Is he slow? Can he be utilized more? Perhaps in the next year or two? I know that we don't know what goes on in practice, so we don't see his skills on a daily basis, but, if I recall, in an early game this year, he had some extended time and made a nice showing. Can anyone tell us about him without conjecture or speculation? What is his true capability? If he played in summer league, did anyone see him regularly? I just can't stop wondering if there is something that is missing from his game. Once again, is he our diamond in the rough; that is, will he be a contributor by senior year, alongside Ben and Aaron and Seth? How good is he? |

| Hey, not everyone at once!!!
I just thought a guy who averaged 23.5 ppg and 9 rpg his junior year and 21ppg and 7.5 rpg his senior year and was a "Mr. Basketball" in his state for his class might be pretty good. Being a forward, he must have an inside and outside game. Also, being a first team all-state tight end he might be quite athletic. He probably got knocked around alot at tight end and knows what it's like to bump and would get down and dirty under the boards and not back down.
Hasn't anyone seen him? Like I mentioned in the above post, in the game that he had some minutes, he played pretty well. Other than the fact he is a walk on and Coach is hesitant to put him in, there has to be another reason. I'm sure if he showed something everyday in practice, we would be seeing him.
Can anyone comment? Coach? LOL!!!!! |

| | I'm hoping to see him get PT. He looked really good in warm-ups Tuesday. I feel like his size would allow him to be more effective against big guys like SIU's Teague. |

I think the Corey situation is like the Reece situation, for some reason, kids who demonstrate an ability to play defense and rebound but aren't flashy get relegated to third tier duty in place of either seniors or highly recruited players. Corey might help bang and rebound, Reece is the abslolute best backup at center, yet we again saw at the 16 min mark in both halves the other option at center being put in a position he is not capable of playing effectively. Very frustrating. Not saying Corey is better that AH or BS, but in an O for D switch, can he rebound or hold his own in the paint where some other can't?

| I have no knowledge regarding his ability, but All-State in Colorado is not equivalent to All-State most places. I've eheard many times that Colorado high school Basketball is pretty bad. I think Chauncy Billups came from Colorado. Anybody else?

| IMO Parker is a hellva player with size and a great head for the game. He can play at this level but he isn't quite there yet. I have confidence that he will work hard and play an important role while @ DU. As far as a schollie goes ... if he pulls a Bucktastic he might get one. Bucky was here 5 years and was hoping to get one his third year. He didn't get one until his fourth year. Who knows what the deal is as far as a schollie goes. Maybe he'll start for Drake his junior and senior years and still be paying a watered down tuition. There are many stories of kids who have played a ton at various schools as walk ons and even "given" their scholarships back so the team could sign another player. I really could care less whether a kid pays a partial or not ... I suppose if Parker's parents are well off, they prolly don't give a shat. Where is he from? .. Vail? ... I'd think to live there full time might be more exclusive than that slum up the hill from Booneville.

I thought Parker was an academic schollie?
