2018 Recruiting

[MasonFanatic]

True. I used to always think when these things broke that it was always some immature kid lashing out. After the Lonergan thing though I've had more pause.

What if the "immature kid lashing out" was GW's AD?

Good news - vcu just signed a point guard PJ Bird. Will help with Tre Wood!

Yeah this is really good news. Tre is visiting next weekend, the 16th.

I think Umass is still heavily involved with Tre Wood I believe, but hopefully him or Adams picks Mason.

Curious whether the staff likes Wood enough to accept a commitment from him if he wants to do it on his visit, or if they want Adams badly enough to wait and risk losing both.

I was wondering the same thing and was going to direct my question about that at you. Just wondering what you thought. Hopefully Adams decides to commit to us after his visit with RIU this weekend, no need to visit Wyoming or GT. I know, not likely.

WE just need to steal recruits that Scott Cherry would want to get at High Point. That's what the P5 do most of the time. LEt the little guys do all the scouting, then they swoop in and steal him. I also think we should lobby the Dept Of Education, for $300 Million grant to study the effects of recruiting basketball players if any. We would need several private jets to complete this in a timely manner.

I like Wood's game a lot. He is lightning quick with the ball. I like Adams a little more because he is an elite-level shooter and I like having a PG who is a legit threat from 3.

What we really need to avoid is the scenario where Adams commits to URI and Wood chooses UMass. That would be a double nut-punch.

Kimbrough picks LaSalle. It's ok though, he wants to he a 3. If Blewhitt were still here he would have chosen us.

Ah, the old path to the NBA for a 6'7 guy. Remember when Jalen thought he was going to become a 3?

Yeah, no big loss really. With Reuter eligible to play next year, hopefully we have some added quality there. We will be more in need of another big in the 2019 class in my opinion.

Love how LaSalle has to show recruits Penn's Palestra. Take him everywhere except your own campus. Probably had breakfast at Villanova. Sounds like we were never going to get that kid. Next one up.

Getting to participate in the Big 5 games has to be attractive for a HS kid and a nice recruiting tool for the Philly schools.

Unfortunately, Georgetown and Maryland are both far too vaginal to create something similar with us, GW and either AU or Howard.

Georgetown thinking they're above anyone right now is laughable

Not trying to jinx us but we probably would have heard of Tre Wood signing with UMASS by now? Maybe we have a shot?

I didn't think we were too threatened not to have a shot I thought? Possible future issue is turning down Woods to wait for Adams.

 

[GMU1983]

I say Adams will be tough. We should take Wood if we get the chance or both of them. Adams more of a combo guard and a major talent. Also we will not lose anyone in frontcourt next year for two years so why not stack up on guards.

 

[Patriot8]

Certainly would've rather had Kimbrough than not have him. The momentum would've been great to have. Maybe this re-ignites the conversation with Aaron Johnson-Cash.

I have no idea where Relvao is in terms of credit hours, but if I recall he is pretty academically inclined. I wouldn't be surprised if he graduated after this year and moved on.

 

[Mason2005]

Are we really in Adam's top four? He hasn't even taken an official here yet.
