Did he throw out the first pitch of the Padres game? Did they announce him at halftime and let him do a tight 5 minute standup set? Did he win the tuition toss? How was he at the tricycle race?

would guess he is going to take his full amount of visits, see where he sees himself with the best fit- with his priorities.Then make his decision as he said in the April. Enjoy the roller coaster ride.

OK, so let's see what everyone thinks on this.
I made the following tweet (to SI.COM Basketball Writer Andy Glockner, who I go back and forth with quite a bit) on Saturday Night and it was just retweeted by Winston Shepard.
@andyglockner Aztecs two game slump is over, look out UNLV. Plus we had 'future Jalen Rose' Winston Shepard in the house tonight
I follow Edward Lewis so that is how I got my info and I didn't include Shepard's twitter, so there should be no #compliance issues!
Anyway, already go a bounce back from a NM fan and UNLV fan.

Before his trip, he also retweeted a derogatory tweet from an Aztec fan that basically said F- Winston Shepard, January is better. I got that Aztec fan to remove his tweet, but these guys are following this stuff - even without the # tag.

Thanks for getting him to remove it, but man...we really do have a handful of dumb*ss fans(unless it was a UNM fan in disguise-wouldnt be surprised). Why would someone tweet that? Just stupid. Both kids are very talented, yes. But let Fisher sort out who we want. Good god. Just dumb if it was one of ours.

Its funny that New Mexico fans seem positive that he is going there, but I'm not sure why. I think it is certainly possible but I'm just not seeing why they are so confident. I actually feel pretty good about his chances to come here.

a derogatory tweet from an Aztec fan
hmmmm...you identify this individual as an Aztec fan....with fans like that, the AZTECS don't need enemies.
Seriously folks, the guys that make up the current Basketball Team and the kids Coach and staff are currently recruiting are either literally kids or (very) young adults. Before you post or tweet something like this you might want to take pause and consider that this is someone's son you are speaking of, not some commodity whose sole purpose in life is to bring you enjoyment in the world of intercollegiate athletics. In fact, for some on this board, these kids are the same age as your kids. So how would you feel if someone expressed this attitude towards your kid - all because he was taking his time and checking all of his options out before making one of the most important decisions of his life. I think Winston is showing a tremendous level of maturity - which is more than I can say for some AZTEC 'fans' - and I for one would like to apologize to Winston and his parents for this incident and let them know that he is just the kind of kid that we would be honored to have be a part of our basketball program - but that is his decision and we respect that decision no matter where he lands. kman out

Quite possibly could have been a desperate Lobo fan signed up on twitter as an Aztec fan in an attempt to try to deter his decision making. Because I can't possibly fathom any Aztec fan tweeting such garbage.

Because I can't possibly fathom any Aztec fan tweeting such garbage. No it definitely was an Aztec fan. He had a long history of pro Aztec posts. I think he may even post on the board, but I won't call him out here. He basically wanted January now, doesn't think Winston will ever commit to the Aztecs and was basically expressing his frustration. I found it posted on Winston's page, but it was only up for maybe a 1/2 hour before I got the poster to delete it. I don't think he expected Winston to ever see it since he didn't use a hash tag. My "represent the Aztec nation with class" tweet did the trick.

As long as JF keeps playing well and keeps improving on limiting his 'bad occurrences', I don't see how he isn't a starter next year. BBA shouldn't be too worried, but it will be interesting to see how our lineups shake out.

My "represent the Aztec nation with class" tweet did the trick. So this thread got me to go back to the tweet in question. It looks like the account with the negative post has since been deleted. Thus, could have been a fake? Or he got a lot of heat, so deleted it? But he did appear to be a true Aztec fan. In any event, we should all remember to represent the Aztec Nation with class as these recruits and even current players do read this stuff...they are only kids after all.
