DJ3 clearly doesn't know what research means. Everyone learns in elementary school to cite your source. The fact multiple people proved you wrong on Paulsen's players on Bucknell in terms of athletic scholarship options proves once again, you are not a real Mason fan. This is sports. There are up's and down's with every team in every sport. A real fan would stick through it all.

I think you just proved DJ3's point

Think again.

You see where it says none? That means no offer!

DJ3 - Once you enroll in a college, you have no interest elsewhere. Go on verbalcommits.com and punch in Otis Livingston II. You will see enrolled at George Mason and no interest in the other offers he received.

ESPN and 247 sports. No one has actually cited a report where any of those players had an offer. Yeah plenty of interest, especially with Muscula. But no other offer.

I'm would be happy to be wrong. But after checking ESPN and 247dports I felt that was good enough.

That's because no other school was interested. try your approach with Jenkins.

2012-13 season
Joe William- IDK
Mike Muscala- no other offer, only interest
Steven Kaspar- no other offer
Bryson Johnson- no other offer.
Cameron Ayers- No other offers

I obviously know dating back this far its hard to determine if the recruiting websites are accurate. None the less I believe the sites to be accurate because I wasn't able to find anything else to make me think differently.

Please try to convince me DP respects recruiting.

Many of the above posts have proven all of your info is wrong. But I'll add a few things. Bryson Johnson had a few other offers, but he committed early. Also being from Canada - rural Nova Scotia until his junior year in HS - he wasn't a known commodity. Current Bucknell center Nana Foulland had about 15 offers, including ones from Seton Hall, UMass, and GMU. JC Show had about a dozen offers, including ones from Davidson and Vermont. Show committed at the end of his junior year, and Foulland also committed early or both would have had more offers.

To go on, current Bucknell forward Zach Thomas had a dozen offers, and he committed early. Also his list was kept smaller as he wanted to major in engineering. (Currently a biomedical engineer.) Further, Nate Sestina picked up a dozen offers in a three-week span just before committing at the end of July prior to his senior year. Joe Willman had 8 or 9 offers. John Azzinaro had at least five, including Rice. Etc. Etc.

As for Muscala, he was greatly underrecruited . First, he was only 6-8 his HS junior year, which was the first year he was a starter in HS. Thus was a bit of an unknown. He grew to 6-9 as a HS senior - after he had committed to Bucknell - then 6-10 as a freshman, and 6-11 as a junior. Also he was very thin in HS. Further, he was very young for his class, meaning his coordination hadn't fully caught up with his rapid growth as of the AAU season after his junior year. He had a breakout senior HS year - which would have brought him a lot of higher level offers had he not already signed. Another factor in his decision is that he was looking for an academic school.

You are totally, absolutely WRONG. Do just a little research. ESPN and 247sports are notoriously inaccuate - except for a few high-major recruits.

This shows three colleges with medium interest:

LOL! Jenkins had a lot of offers (or at least interest): http://verbalcommits.com/players/jalen-jenkins (click where it says show other offers)

 

[Bison137]

Please tell me what highly touted recruit he landed. Don't say Muscala. Muscala had no other offers.

Just for fun I went back to Paulsen's last team with Bucknell 2014-15 team. Here was there starting lineup.
Dom Hoffman- Only offer Bucknell
Nana Foulland- Had other offers including mason.
Steven Kaspar- No other offers
Chris Hass- No other offers
Ryan Frazier- No other offers

Lets go to his 2nd two last season starting lineup.

Brian Fitzpatrick- Walk on.
Ben Brackney- No other offers
Ryan Hill- No other offers
Chris Hass- No other offers
Cameron Ayers- No other offers

But according to GMUJIM I know nothing. But I actually do research and back up my claims.

You've been proven totally wrong on so many levels. But I'll address a few of the above.

- Dom Hoffman committed late winter of his junior year, at a time when many good players still don't have offers. However he did already have one from La Salle. He was ranked #15 in his NJ class by NJHoops.com.
- Nana Foulland - many offers including Seton Hall. Addressed in other post.
- Steven Kaspar - offers from Air Force and Tennessee Tech. Offer list was not as great as it might have been because he wanted to major in engineering.
- Chris Hass - already addressed above; committed around Christmas of his junior year and was ranked #8 in the state of Michigan.
- Ryan Frazier - committed in January of his junior year; had a lot of interest that would have translated to offers had he not committed early.
- Brian Fitzpatrick was a recruited walk-on who later got a scholarship. However he was a starter at Penn as a freshman before a coaching change made him decide to transfer. Had scholarship offers coming out of HS before committing to Penn. When he left Penn, he could have had a scholarship at many mid-majors but was interested in academics and his family didn't desperately need a scholarship. (Was paying his own way at Penn.)
- Ben Brackney wasn't a great signing but he did have offers from Eastern Illinois, Bucknell, Murray State, Air Force, Holy Cross and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. He was an All-State QB as a junior and I think they hoped that concentrating on basketball for the first time would bring his game to a new level.
- Ryan Hill committed in June, at the end of his junior year, and never developed.
- Cameron Ayers had a ton of offers, including ones from Clemson and Georgetown plus St. Joes , Temple, and La Salle and many others.

Bison137, aside from all of these examples you've cited, is it fair to say DJ3 was pretty spot-on with his in-depth analysis?

 

[Falco]

Ok I was wrong about the recruiting, the players did have other offers. I learned don't trust ESPN and 247 sports.

 

[GSII]

I sure don't miss DJ3. Ignore on full blast. Does he see my posts? Oh well Dildo Jammer3...suck it we won!!

 

[Jack Strop]

Dude, Paulsen did not recruit Jalen Jenkins.

Here's some advice: When you find that you're digging yourself into a big hole then simply put down the shovel.

That was my point! Jalen had offers and he wasn't DP's guy! But I admit it I didn't fact check well enough

It was cute at first but now it’s just terrible.

Why we allow a troglodyte to take the boards hostage with his stupidity repeatedly is beyond me. I have him on my ignore list but it’s hard to ignore him when everyone diverts the conversation to address his nonsense.

Do you really believe he would post as much if no one responded to him?

You guys are feeding the beast. The more he gets called an idiot the more he feels important and compelled to post.

 

[Mason2005]

The worst part is those fools can criticize all day but can't compliment when Paulsen does well. Kick those fools off this board.
