press release today

So am I, and so are we!!

Read that too about NU< and knowing Cohen was in on him is the icing on the cake - a long-time well-respected coach who knows talented bigs, recruits them well, and produces winners more often than not - this is clearly a last-minute win for HU

ST II solidifies the HU '16 class, the '16-'17 season, and the 4 spot for the next 4 years - I'm not saying he's a definite starter there, although he may develop to be, just that he adds stability for a full 4 - that is very key and comforting, and will allow HU to continue to bring in impact / star guys from the Juco/Transfer market if the opportunity arises

As far as PT this yr, I would agree he will likely see some general backup time to help Greer whenever needed, and that is exactly what HU needs right now in that spot - a protection plan, and ST II is a super one who also has the ability to play real / major minutes if ever required

I'm super high on Greer and believe he's the go-to 4 while he's here, but it feels fantastic to have another CAA-level player right behind him! Quality and depth = postseason

Any new updates?

I sent email regarding Djambo and received a reply August 5th...I guess that is when we will know definitively if he is on next years team??

[garyg]

Sent email this am and waiting for reply...regarding ST seems like a great "get" and he may still be growing...a couple of online articles said he grew another inch since winter and is now 6-8...I will take him at 6-8 LOL but imagine if he turns out to be 6-9 or 6-10...hey, David Robinson entered Naval Academy at 6-6 or 6-7 and left at 6-11...stranger things have happened

[garyg]

I have heard nothing back on Djambo...HUSID80, have you heard anything of late?

[garyg]

Received reply re Djambo...no news is good news?? Staff thought they would know more by yesterday...cutting it close..when do athletes usually report to campus ??

[Captain]

So if we are lucky enough to land Djambo, do you all see a redshirt for Trueheart? If Greer and Djambo get the major minutes it might not be a bad idea.

[Cards]

Certainly something to think about Captain. With Djambo, Greer, Rok, Walker, and Sabety, we would have the 4/5 slot pretty well covered. That being said, we don't know if JM had promised the kid some minutes this year, in which case, JM should keep his promise. With Trueheart and Djambo we certainly would have plenty or depth this year - what a concept

[HUSID80]

Have heard nothing on Djambo...my sense is that he can come in anytime before classes begin

[garyg]

My opinion is if Djambo does come Trueheart will red shirt...

[Polito]

I would agree, and that would be a fantastic scenario. If not, I am comfortable with ST backing up Greer from day 1.

The Djambo mystery continues...hoping for the best!
