Coached him as a freshman. He's a very large athletic young man.

We should have been offering this caliber of kid all offseason, why is it we target ungettables all offseason and wait until now to offer kids within reach? Is there something i'm missing?

Great point. I'm all for leaving spots for guys at the end like Dillman, Roderick Young, Caleb Chumley, and Darrien McNair, but that doesn't mean just don't recruit at all. Nothing wrong with getting good players realistically within reach early. It'll be interesting to see how this experiment turns out.

It's like we're trying to become the ultimate scavengers. Wait and hawk on kids who slip through the crack. IF (BIG If), we could have that be our specialty and really execute that plan i could see the benefits. We have some athletic talent at levels we haven't had in awhile, but it seems awfully dangerous to go in with a bare cupboard and hope the situation works out in the end. The only analogy I could see that fits this is that we are swinging for the fences trying to anchor a class on a big/notable pick up. But the best baseball teams i ever played on were playing small ball: hitting consistently and getting on base.

I expect this to be a smaller class compared to the last couple.  Plus, I expect to see the staff continue to spend a lot of time on JUCOs and transfers based on the number in our 2 deep.  Can't say I blame them.

If they can get 10-12 quality HS and 7-8 JUCO/xfers that will leave a few spots for late signees.  If the late signees don't materialize then they can pursue mid term enrollees.

As many have pointed out, we have been signing too many HS recruits that don't have a lot of other offers, which has resulted in way too many that can't seem to crack the 2 deep.

      If…..

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.
