2018 Recruiting

[gmujim92]

Jim, do you have any insight into why Adams has Wyoming in his final list? And it looks like he took an official visit there. Seems odd in view of the his other final schools and some of the other schools that offered him.

Very odd. No clue whatsoever.

Maybe he just wanted to get a free trip to check out the state of Wyoming. Seems weird to me too based on all the east coast schools listed in his final 5/6.

Brendan’s Mom wrote a blog about the whole recruiting process I found kind of interesting from the perspective of parent who’s kid is getting recuited by multiple schools. She wrote it in 3 parts if anyone is interested in checking it out. Not gonna lie to found and took it right off the URI boards.

Still think we get Wood tomorrow and Adams ends up at URI Sunday. I’ll be happy with either or both, we just need to land at least 1 of them.

I will tell you why Wyoming is in the mix because I am here to combat ignorance.

Oh yeah I forgot:

The first step to unraveling the mystery is asking yourself--where has Thuc Phan been all these years?

Then, you will begin to piece together the mystery.

Well Friday at 6 is as good a time as any to get Wood, I guess.

Whelp, it's between us and UMASS...looks like Towson didn't make final cut.

My father went to St John's way way back (late 1930's)

I woke up with morning WOOD today... maybe that's a sign.

Saw this on the UMASS forums

have it under pretty good word that Tre Wood will be sticking closer to home.

So how much does the timing of these things matter? Like do players wait on each other? I don’t really follow recruiting that heavily. Like is Adams URI bound because he thinks Wood is coming here? Could he be waiting out Woods decision? Seems like if wood comes here he has competition at either program and may as well go to the one that’s stronger at the moment.

I'd say it all depends. Seems like what you are describing certainly comes into play with some recruits (especially QB's in football), but a lot of recruits it probably doesn't matter to. Based off the comparable rankings, I doubt Adams is watching what Wood does. But Wood may have been told that if Adams commits before him, there might not be a spot.

There are several different types of offers - the top guys get offers that are basically we will take you no matter what, middle guys get offers that say we would love to have your commit - but your spot might disappear if someone else commits first, and the lowest guys get offers that say we think you are good enough and love to have you, if we have space at the end of the cycle.

I imagine there is also a wide variation in how well/honestly the strings that are attached to offers are communicated by the coaches.

Spot on.

I know we are all interested overwhelming in what Mason does, but as a side note, I see where Rhode Island just got a commitment from Jermaine Harris from Upper Marlboro -- a high quality power forward. That crew does a really good job recruiting, and with Adams maybe going there, they might get even better very soon.

Rhody's top assistant, David Cox, is dug in like a tick in the DMV. Uber connected to the local AAU scene.

Cox gets credit for Dowtin, Harris and soon-to-be Adams. Impressive sales job convincing them to go play for a turbo douche like Dan Hurley.

Anybody know if Wood is live streaming his announcement?
