Raiders clinch playoff berth with win over PJC

http://www.nwfdailynews.com/news/raider ... h-win.html

Toby Veal was a monster in the post for the Raiders, scoring a game-high 27 points. Veal’s outburst was especially important in the first half, when star point guard Brian Bryant was held scoreless. Bryant erupted for 16 points in the second half, though, and had several big buckets down the stretch.

“Toby Veal was big in the post tonight,” Stewart said. “We wanted to point the post because we felt we had an advantage there. With the development of his hook shot, he’s going to be a big weapon.”

I tried to find a "thumbs up" picture, but every one I found would have come across as sarcastic.

Good news! Thanks for sharing!

 

[mwalvlior]

sounds promising. thanks for the find as always.

So what is the official word? Have we signed Veal or are we still fighting for him?

 

[Mistachill]

I don't think there's any signing involved, he just enrolls. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Enlighten me further...we don't have to sign him? He just starts taking classes and playing?

He is committed to us

but like they say nothing is really final until they go to class on day 1

Good deal...I was curious because it doesn't show on our recruiting page on ESPN...is that just for high school boys who sign?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger deal made out of the Toby Veal committment. Didn't Toby have offers from dozens of high major schools while in high school? Including Kentucky...or I'm I making this up?

 

[mwalvlior]

for the confusion on "signing." A player can only sign 1 letter of intent which is why players who commit, but then dont make it on grades, but go the following year dont sign a new letter of intent, just their scholarship papers.

Thanks getSmart! Several weeks ago, I found a list online of the schools that had offered Toby Veal out of high school. I was surprised by the number of high major offers. However, I'm unable to find this list today. What you list above are the schools that Toby had interest in, not necessarily the schools that had offered...correct? Perhaps I have Toby confused with someone else that I had looked up but I don't think so. Regardless, an immpressive list of schools above and we're fortunate to land him now.

Well at least he doesn't have to change any decorating that he may have done...just animals...
