2018 Recruiting

[gmujim92]

Princeton just picked up a 4-star point guard. Don't sleep on the Ivies.

Would think the Llewellyn signing takes Princeton out of the running for another 2018 PG, but who knows?

Apparently we just offered this kid today, another PG. With just 1 scholarship in 2018 as of now it's interesting to see what direction we are taking.

That 4/5 is looking a little crowded next year. Wouldnt be suprised to see a departure there.

Pretty sure the theory is, we want one 2018 PG to bolster that spot after Otis graduates, so the first guy to commit gets the scholarship.

There's also a scholarship for Jordan Miller if he decides he wants it, so safe to say the staff is operating under the assumption that we'll have at least one transfer after this season.

Offered this kid yesterday as well, looks pretty athletic. Def looks like we are chasing after a PG and a 3/4.

Looks like AJ.

What type of players should Mason go after next year? I think this will be the recruiting's staff toughest year.
We pretty much know who the starters will be next season. So we cant promise any incoming freshman/grad transfers playing time.

I am not advocating this, but it seems like an opportunity to reach out to transfer players. Coaches could pitch 'We don't have minutes to spare this season, we are not going after incoming freshman because we think you can lead us next year once your eligible."

just a thought.

The staff already knows who they want, more or less, for 2018. Those kids can sign a LOI this fall.

As far as "knowing who the starters will be," I would say we have only two guys who, barring injury or something weird, are locked in as starters for the next two seasons.

We have a lot of young kids who we all really like, but the reality is most of them still have a lot to prove.

It also helps us that Dave has established he's going to play the best kids, regardless of class. High-level recruits know they will have a chance to get on the court early here if they are good enough.

Fair point, right now everyone and myself included have really high expectations for the next 2 seasons.

We have a pretty balanced roster this year, but it wont be easy to replace what Moore and Jenkins provided.

Really hoping this is the case with Jordan Miller. I know the staff wants him badly, hopefully he decides to commit in the Fall.

Miller and Brendan Adams would be a grand slam class by themselves. Both are going to be excellent college players.

If we can't beat out Monmouth and LaSalle for a recruit we don't deserve to land him.

 

[GSII]

Its all relative. Can't wait until we are beating out some bigger name schools for recruits. Then we'll have made it to the top.

Not that I don't agree with you; I do, but don't sleep on Monmouth.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Give me Brendan Adams, Jared Kimbrough, and Jordan Miller.

Agreed, considering the amount of winning King Rice has done the last few years, plus the fact hes local to the school.

That said, I hope he comes to Mason, we could use him
