2015 Recruiting

[mkaufman1]

A stretch 4 (Royal, Arledge ilk), and a SG who can also handle the ball (although Gilbert seems to be of that nature), so it might be best available. Two schollies are available (Edwards/Copes) unless someone else leaves.

Isn't Gray a senior, too, making it three slots? Or were you assuming Gilbert would be slotted in for Gray leaving two more?

3 Seniors right now which means 3 scholarships, but one is taken by Gilbert which means 2 are available.

So what do you guys think our needs are for the Class of 2015?

That really depends on where Jenkins, Porter, Lockett, Mayimba and Jackson actually are going to play and what their real strengths and weaknesses are.

Also depends on what happens with coaching situation after this season. We could be looking to fill a whole bunch of scholarships if Hewitt gets pink-slipped.

point guard. end of story.

We need a 2016 Thread now. See on twitter than Mason has offered 2016 Shooting Guard Nick Sherod from St Christopher's School in Richmond, Va.

John Crosby who once wanted to commit to GMU committed to Dayton...

Who needs a real point guard when you have a converted small forward coming off a leg injury?

 

[933127]

I would not be suprised at all if the Elite 8 run made by Dayton had a large or moderate influence in Crosby's decision to committ to Dayton. Making an NCAA appearance is always a great way to lure in recruits to commit to your school.

Five Two is dead on target on what we need. We need a PG to replace Edwards when he graduates and maybe even Isaiah Jackson if the frankenstein experiment fails.

Hewitt needs to calm down and stop trying to hog onto every 6-7 swingmen he can find. He has more than enough of them at the moment. The position that has been void and in need of tweaking since the day he stepped onto Mason has been the point guard position.

Eric Bowles from W.T.Woodson might be someone Hewitt should look at more closely once he clears his obsession with small forwards.

Don't hold your breath good buddy.

Inasmuch as I'm not expecting Coach Hewitt back for a 5th season, I'm hoping that he saves the available scholarships for the next coach. If you recall, Coach Larranaga used the available scholarships in 1997 to sign Jason Miskiri, Erik Herring, and Tremaine Price (in addition to George Evans & Terrance Nixon who were signed by Westhead during the early signing period).

 

[gmujim92]

Not sure why -- other than, perhaps, the inevitable Hewitt hatred -- but it puzzles me that people here continue to act as if we're desperately incompetent at the PG spot.

Is Marquise a great shooter at this point? No. But he certainly showed enough promise as a true freshman to be our starter at the PG if he's healthy by Game 1.

And yeah, Corey drove me nuts when he was a starter, but he's fine coming off the bench for 10-15 minutes. He's the best backcourt defender on our roster (non-freshman division) and it's not even close.

All of this is to say, yeah I get that we're not the best in the A-10 at PG. But pretending that Hewitt hasn't recruited one is silly and borderline disrespectful to our players. So please cut it out.

I agree about Moore. He was particularly impressive attacking vcu's press last year.

He's strong and explosive and if he ever develops an outside game will be unguardable.

 

[Pablo]

Let's not forget Marquise's 16 blocked shots in 26 games.

We weren't the only school that was hot on John Crosby at one point, and there were ACC and B1G schools on him, yet he ended up going to prep school. Presumably there was a reason why no one closed the deal. We should move on.

Doesn't it bother you that Archie Miller just took a pretty good PG right from our backyard? In looking at Crosby's past, and the fact he was on his way to commit to Mason, one has to question the confidence levels he had in our program throughout the process. I assume it was on downtick. Plus our idiot fans tweeted him, which didn't help.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Nobody tweeted him. They tweeted about him, and he responded.

Dead horse. Beating it. Etc.

 

[hoops10]

just curious, have not heard a word on T. Myimba. Is this kid still with the team? From all the hype and videos he appeared to be a very solid addition to the team.
