2015 Recruiting

[GMUgemini]

They are signing 6'7 guys. Trying to keep up with Mason! They know whats comin!

They've only been in the league for two years. This year might be theirs (although I have my doubts about their front court, and as good of a defender as Graham is, he is not gifted on the offensive side).

Graham has a shot to finish as vcu's all-time leading scorer, so I'd say he's plenty gifted offensively.

I assume you were referring to Weber?

My thought as well. Graham is a great offensive player.

Yes, I was. Thanks for the correction.

For F sake, no one gives a shit about vcu here. I don't need to be reminded on a regular basis that vcu is good and will continue to be good... especially on our own boards.

Arent we supposed to root for conference foes once the regular season is over? I find it helpful to know which A10 teams will be there regularly......

May as well lock up the recruiting threads until we get a new staff in place.

No matter who Hewitt signs from here on out, he's a total lame duck.

I hope we can keep Gilbert after Hewitt gets canned, but I'm not optimistic.

I have no faith in who Hewitt recruits.

Hewitt has recruited some nice pieces, but doesn't know how to coach them so it's all for naught.

Starting Jenkins, Marko and Thompson together is example number one of that.

Name a nice piece. You, my friend, live in fantasy land. We have no one on the current roster that any respectable program would want.

What is nice about any of them?

C'mon, that's just not true.

Impossible to gauge the talent of players who are so poorly coached. I bet Larranaga could win at least 15 games with this group.

Come on we do have nice pieces, let's not lose all hope now

This is no different than GT....he can get some pretty good players, he just cant make them a team.

nice to see Ahmad Gilbert in the stands for both games this weekend.

Delaware just lost a recruit because Monte Ross is coaching in the last yr of his contract without an extension:

I don't think I need to explain how this is relevant to Mason, do I???????

Delaware's AD was in a tough spot because they went to the tournament last season. No way to fire a coach coming off an NCAA bid, but Ross has been way too mediocre to deserve an extension based on 3 days in March.

JMU faced the same situation with Brady 2 years ago, decided to extend him and went right back to sucking again. Now most of their fans can't wait until he goes away.

This won't apply to Mason because we have zero chance of making the tournament this season.

Interesting article on Gilbert, safe to say if Hewitt is cut he's going also.

You never know. If its a coach that recruited him and he knows, he could stay. And proximity will remain a plus.

Wasn't Drexel in the running for this recruit?

Better for both Gilbert and Mason is Hewitt is fired (if Hewitt stays, Gilbert will have to be coached by this coaching staff and play in Hewitt's system; and us fans will have to suffer through another season with Hewitt as the coach).
