I believe all 3 play on the same team... heard of the 'package deal', but the 'triple play' so to speak would be unique!

New PG offer per Verbal Commits:

9/26/2014 - 2017 PG Chris Lykes (5-6, 145, 2★) has received an offer from Hofstra.

Looks to have offers from ODU and Richmond already, projected as a high-major recruit - wouldn't be surprised to see that 3-4 star ranking next yr for him

JM and crew are not backing down from going after top talent, that's for sure - I think we all know it's a tough mountain to climb and it takes flat out HARD CONSISTENT WORK, but I think they're up to the task and therefore it's 100% worth the effort IMO - this program is a winning season/post-season appearance/media darling away from being able to attract that type of talent a bit easier - this is a BIG yr towards creating those rock solid recruiting in roads... absolute VITAL year.

I don't know if it's just better transparency or what, but this staff is ON IT - maybe previous guys did similar things (all know TP was a strong recruiter, I've always felt that), BUT fans never knew anything - I've never seen or read recruiting like this before from HU ... -> FRESH AIR

Judging by the very good talent evaluation so far by this staff, I would bet good $ that won't stay that way for long

You never know what a hopefully very successful season can have on the next years recruiting class. Agreed that this is a very long shot, but we will never land a guy like this unless we try to. Might as well go for it JAM.

Oh I love seeing HU's name in there with the big boys... Long shot sure, but gotta have guts to play this recruiting game!

Look, it just takes ONE tourney run here fellas...I'm telling you, in this market, just one noise making yr would produce a noticeable boost - send another guy to the nba on top of that, even bigger - a yr like that, albeit no small task, with THIS STAFF can = a major shift to a program like HU

As we have seen, JAM is quick to spot top level talent. HU was first to offer 2017 PF Aamir Simms - now Simms he is listed on "Verbal Commits" as a 4 star recruit with many offers. HU also offered small forward Myles Douglas a while back.....he is now also listed as a 4 star recruit.

Of course these guys would be tough to land, but the only thing you can count on is that they wont come to HU if you don't try and get them.

Here is another nice prospect that we have offered. 6'6" wing Anthony "AJ" Williams out of the DC area. Attached is video of him from his sophomore year. he's already a 3 star and looks like there room to grow.

I just love the talent level of recruits that JAM and staff ID and are going after. Should be very exciting times ahead.

Making offer letters is one thing. Getting them to accept is another.
