MBB Recruits 2019

Eh, you're prob right, but I'm holding out hope on JT until it's truly official either way. I think there's a shot!

Kante is not a 40 min guy, and neither is JT. Either way HU will need 2 key guys in that role. Would be awesome, and allow HU to really battle more physically by the basket.

Although my bet is when HU makes the dance, that would play a factor - he'll prob feel very at peace with this part of his life at that point, and be happy to move on. And I would be perfectly fine with that as well!

[HUSID74]

If JT wants to play in Europe this current year has really helped him...if he were to stay at Hofstra another year his stock would go up even higher...love to have him back next year not only for the basketball but seems he's a class act and appreciates his "second life."

Yes JT a real good get for us. Whatever is best for him I'm 100% behind.

Not sure if we've seen this article yet, but a good one on KVonn Cramer - this kid is going to be a BEAST when he steps on the floor in 2 years - big time get for HU. Of note, confirms he has a redshirt year already built in, and that he is 6'7 = full salivation! Say hello to the future:

That's a very informative article thanks for posting it so we have a long wait to see what Cramer looks like for us. I'm sure its for the better and he will come in 100%. Looking forward to seeing this kid.

Let's hope he reaches his full potential at Hofstra

[Flying Dutchmen]

Great article. Cramer looks like a hard working guy that’s already dealt with adversity. I think he’s the character guy we’re always looking for. I didn’t know it was such a serious knee injury, I like the idea of a redshirt year, see if he can get it back to 100% and develop a perimeter game in the time off.

[Jojogunne]

High risk, high reward. I wish Kvonn well on his continued recovery and look forward to seeing him play down the road. Should be a man among boys by then.

Are we close to signing anyone else?

[joeg1]

Same injury Buie had- except he had it twice. He should be good as new after the rehab

That size player I like...

We can do better !!!!!!!!

[triplec2195]

We can do better !!!!!!!!

I'm thinking the same thing!

[HUSID74]

Easy boys, just putting him out there...he is rated a three star recruit however.

[Mikey77]

HU shouldn't be turning its nose up at any recruit, especially one recruited by a program as good as Cincinnati. Let's not let this year's good fortune go to our heads.

Interesting article on Sarr:

https://www.app.com/story/sports/colleg ... 788947002/

Looks like Monmouth pulled his scholarship last June, but not for academic, team violation, or legal issues, just strictly basketball.

Sarr doesn't appear to be much of an offensive threat, if we recruit this guy, what does it say about Schutte and Hughes? They can't even give us backup minutes next year?

I'm like the GM of a pro team, always scanning the waiver wire...we have had good luck with one and done transfers and he caught my eye. Nothing more to this than that...Quiet week for us HU fans!

FD I wouldn't assume we r not going to get backup minutes from both Schutte and Hughes. I definitely feel Hughes may give us some quality minutes and his size is a big plus especially if he can shoot beyond the arc.
