Game 11: Georgia Southern University, Tuesday, December 12th, 7 PM, Atlantic10.com

That's bull. That's basically admitting DP knew Dixon wouldn't work out here but wasted the kids time anyways. That's a Dick Punch. How about just admit that's all he knew how to do was recruit guys that were Patriot League level.

Otis and Jaire are only Patriot League level? Danny Dixon was 6ft 7 on a team that had no height other than Shevon and Jalen.... Danny Dixon had the skills of a 4th grade basketball player... But so did Shevon at the time he came here.. he was just a behemoth and improved greatly under Paulsen.

Yes, they are on the high end but either Pat League or CAA type level. Grayer reminds me of the kid from Drexel, Damion Lee, who grad tranferred to Louisville. Decent player as a 17 year old but a stud by year 4.

Shevon played Juco for two years so he didn't arrive here as a freshman like you are making it seem. Dixon was pure DIV III. Maybe Div II. Or rec league.

Jaire and Otis are high end Pat league or CAA type level guys? Hate to break it to you but they have turned out to being top level A10 guys
Shevon played for 2 years at Mason and came to college not being able to dribble the ball more than twice without it being stolen... his senior year ended up going ok if I remember correctly...
Danny Dixon is low level community college talent... that is correct

 

[Jack Strop]

The whole point to recruiting is that you identify players who fit the program, can fill a role, possibly improve the team, and be a player who will be likely to sign on to the team. Why waste resources on players that you know you have no chance to sign?

Accordingly, how do you rebuild a team when you have no current relationships with players who are most suited? You'll have a hard time walking up to a recruit that has been courted for two years by URI or St. Joe's and asking him to join your team at the last second. Why would such a recruit even consider you at this point? He doesn't know you from JMU or NJIT or any other team that didn't recruit him. And you think Coach Dave had some magic spell or Jedi mind trick that he could cast on such a player? NO! DP filled his first two teams with the players he could find to suit his new team and hoped to develop. Some worked out others didn't. Move on, Jeeves!

By the way, I don't think there is a single poster on here who doesn't wish at least one of the three forwards signed in the first two years had panned out, even marginally. So, I'm not exactly sure what DJ3 or GSII want us to say about it other than to say, yes, it sucks that we don't have any experienced forwards on the team right now.

Get over it and watch the team we have.

Nothing to get over. I was worried about his recruiting ability in A10 from day one. I watch every game this year, and have watched almost every game since DP arrived. But I won't give DP a pass. He screwed up the roster and too many are giving him a pass. It's not just the bigs but the Newman departure. How do you not know whats going on with you youngest guys? We have been over the bad signings of the bigs, but Revalo and Newman just got up and left late in the game. Had to of seen it coming if paid attention. We shall see.

Sure I overstate the importance of facilities. That’s why Clemson spent millions to built a football facility with a bowling alley, laser tag area and lazy river. Because 17-year-old recruits don’t care at all about a school’s facilities.

Seriously? You think this is even remotely the same thing?

I didn't say they don't care. I said you're drastically overrating the importance of our little project which cost 25 times less. Like, I didn't make that up. 25 times less.

Of course it’s not remotely the same thing. Duh.

But not having a facility at all put us behind the many other A-10 schools who already had one.

I’m not saying a recruit is going to pick Mason because of a practice facility, but you are kidding yourself if you think kids don’t notice stuff like that on their visits and draw conclusions about the quality of the program.

Now we are at least doing the things for our program that we should be doing if we want to compete for a conference title.

When you are recruiting kids who have multiple high-level offers, every little bit helps.

Well, our target Evan Buckley got an offer from Delaware tonight, so let's hope these facilities pay off!

LOL.

 

[GSII]

Kids notice facilities that are "off the chain". Ours is not compared to vcu and some others.
