2015 Recruiting

[PDGL Hoops]

I think a good recruiting class spells another year of PH.

 

[GSII]

He couldnt coach multiple All Americans to above .500 in ACC and he made us poo poo with a pretty good roster. No matter who he coaches, they regress or stay stagnant. That much we see as a proven fact. He uses players' talent instead of cultivating it better player in turn improve the whole team. He says players get betterbut havent. Leads you to think one way but we never see anything ie.marko, royal, moores shot etc. Hewitt has to go. I dont care how good his recruits look like on paper, we have seen it all before and theres no need to see it play out again. He sucks in all phases of the game. End of story.

GSII, I am getting mixed signals from your post. If I am interpreting it correctly, you think we should give Hewitt at least one more year.

Ive never said a bad thing about Mr. Hewitt. But Now, I just cant hold it in any longer.

Is this the Brad Edwards coach recruiting thread? If so, I like Jay Larranaga and Brad Underwood. Scott Cherry would be an good choice too.

- Gilbert had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in the quarterfinal win.
- Gilbert shot 6-6 from the FT line in the 4th quarter
- Mason and FIU are interested in Constitution's senior PG, Kimar Williams

Here's a scouting report on Williams from last year: http://cityofbasketballlove.com/recruiting-profiles/kimar-williams-g-2015/

Me too. Hope he realizes he can be more successful at Mason without Hewitt than he would be with him.

These sounds like some solid commits. I think we should renew Coach Hewitt to be on the safe side so they don't look elsewhere.

Ahmad "J.R." Gilbert had a game-high 31 points (13-14 FG's), 4 blocked shots, & 2 steals as Constitution defeated Math, Civics and Sciences in the Class A state semifinals last night - see http://www.philly.com/philly/sports...ution_handle_MCS__waltz_into_state_final.html.

I hope we can keep this kid in the fold with the new staff....this kid has the look of the best kid PH signed.

13-14----must have been a lot of layups & dunks!

Sounds like a good kid who has shown loyalty in the past. I hope the new coach can come in and develop a relationship with him quickly. I'd like to see him in green and gold for the next 4 years.

Talk about a match made in heaven: a player who won three state titles at a school named Constitution, and a university named for a man who helped craft the U.S. Constitution.

It was meant to be.

 

[gmutom]

How sad is that the kid who could be Hewitt's best Mason recruit ever may never step foot on our campus again? I hope our new coach can find a way to keep him.

According to a tweet I just read, Gilbert told his coach that he will seek his release from Mason.

I am not surprised as most of what has connected him to Mason is gone or headed out the door. It would be nice if he wasn't thinking that way yet, but, I don't think it means much until the new coach is hired. I am assuming BE will do as previous AD's have done and only give the release after the new coach has had a chance to talk to him.
