Aaron Rountree picked Iona. Surprised because I didn't think they had any scholarships left.

What it does suggest is that it's entirely possible (probable, I'd even say) that others have visited and haven't been reported as doing so. A signing could easily come out of nowhere and the fact that this guy was interested enough in Hofstra to visit is a terrific sign.

Hofstra extended an offer to 6-8 PF Aamir Simms. His first offer so far.

It's 13. We've already got 11 enrolled so just two left.

I disagree. You need one big but two is pushing it. Joe never plays two bigs at once so as long as the depth chart has Djambo, Gustys, and one more (not expecting Walker to get much time) then that's fine. They could use another bench guard because right now the bench guards are Buie, JWF, Eliel, an...

@VerbalCommits: Hofstra, Rice, and Western Kentucky offered 2015 Norcross (GA) G Tim Cameron. @lovin_2_hoop http://t.co/BnxgpYxxVw Interesting that Hofstra has another offer for a 2015 guard, makes me worried that Alcegaire is going elsewhere and also likely debunks the theory that they've already l...

Iona just used up their last scholarship, so I guess they're not getting Rountree. I expect a lot of news for all schools to start coming in on Wednesday when the late signing period begins.

VCU commit Kenny Williams just re-opened his recruitment following Shaka Smart's departure. He was looking at Hofstra before committing to VCU. He's a shooting guard who gets 4 stars across the board. Curious if JAM and crew get involved again.

Rothstein reporting that William & Mary will play at Virginia and Delaware will play at Villanova this season. I know JAM and crew were working on getting a Nova game, hope that's still on the table.

Aaron Rountree is visiting Iona on Thursday. Good news: he's interested in a NY school. Bad news: he's interested in a NY school.

Given that Alkins wanted to stay local, gotta wonder if he comes to Hofstra if St. John's doesn't make a coaching change.

Mamadou Diarra picks up an offer from UConn. So while it looked like he could have been a promising underrated big pick-up by JAM and co., a big school offer is likely to erase Hofstra off the board. Also Rawle Alkins got an offer from St. John's. He already has a dozen big 5 offers on the table tho...

I'm actually bummed that he and McGlynn could be leaving the conference. Ultimately one would prefer the conference gets better rather than worse so that the conference as a whole looks better and draws better seeds in the NCAA's. Sure, an auto-bid is nice, especially if it comes easy. But if everyo...

I agree, don't think there's any reason he would leave Drexel for Hofstra. He could get some serious playing time at a big school and that's probably where he's going. If you're looking for an in-conference transfer, Four McGlynn seems much more likely. He's already visited Rhode Island, Iona, and A...

Seattle, but close enough. And thanks!

To be fair, nobody said anything about offering him a scholarship.

My main concern with redshirting Buie is that you might be relying on Eliel to run the offense for the beginning of 2016-2017, unless you're willing to give the job right to Buie from the get-go. Have to assume he'd need some time to adjust to the team before he would be relied on as the primary poi...
