2023 Recruiting

[Patriot8]

Probably a good time to shift our attention to Brandon Williams and his visit to Fairfax next week - here’s the latest with him:

Looks like we can take Jamie Kaiser off the list:

Wasn't he supposed to visit today?

George Mason: "I would say the coaching staff for sure. I feel like they had a very willing coaching staff to dig deep and develop their players. Kim is my guy, I like Kim English, me and him developed a great relationship."

But then again Jamie Kaiser said similar things too.

Two official visits can only be good as well but who the heck knows. I have to think if he is coming we'll see a great day in Fairfax tweet a few days prior.

He'd be a great get.

Yeah, but Kaiser blew up and has elite P5s calling him now. Carrington's list is a lot more realistic in terms of the type of battle we can win sometimes.

My guess is with the timing of everything it’s Pitt, but I hope I’m wrong.

True. But Kaiser was quoted saying that only a couple weeks before he narrowed his list to 9. I completely agree with you that Carrington might be an achievable commit compared to Kaiser. Either way we're at least given the time and consideration by these high caliber players...which never would have happened under Paulsen.

Kim’s relationship with Carlton and his dad goes back a long way — and we have a ton of minutes opening up at the SG spot with Cooper and Bailey moving on after next season. Despite the competition from some high-level recruiters, hopefully Kim can get it done because this kid is really, really good.

 

[gmujim92]

And not for nothing but Kaiser was/is closer to Simpkins. This is a Kim show all the way and I’ll take our chances with him any day.

Kaiser was going power 5...His father has been advising to go big 10. He may very well end of a Terp. Janhanthan Lamothe has publicly stated he is going to recruit kaiser there.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but over the last week Carrington took an official to Pitt, said Pitt is at the top of his list, and now announces he is ready to commit… I admire your optimism though.

The one negative to being involved with so many good players is missing on a lot of them, but plenty of good fish still in the sea.

I haven’t been following it closely, been slammed getting ready to move next week — didn’t even know Carrington had visited Pitt lol. Thanks for the info!

Guess Mason will catch him on the portal after Capel gets fired.

Not sure why anyone would willingly choose to play for sorry-a** Jeff Capel and finish at the bottom of the ACC every year, but we did get passed over for a school that prohibits premarital sex so …

and hoping that we get some spillover effects - other players at his level about GMU and begin to put us on their radar. The Reputation of the progfam within the player/recruit community grows. That can only help . if we can get #100, then we can get #90, ......

Big week for Mason begins tomorrow - Mason So will be coming on an official visit. Mason is a 6’2” PG and will be playing for Dematha next season. Pair that with the Williams visit next week, and it’s a big week for the 23’ class.
