Yeah no question about this and maybe a more balanced offensive team with three guys scoring 15 pts. a game distributing the ball more and less one on one play. I'm expecting big things from Kante next year who is listed as a center and has size. We don't need one player scoring 24 points a game a luxury but not a necessity.cactus wrote:PG of the future definitely needs to be #1 on the list. Even with JWF graduating they do have scoring guards next year.

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
And Gary when has it been? After signing Justin and Desure what H.S. players have we signed? They got Hughes last year and he has to redshirt. They did get Jalen two years ago but they have had to be content with transfers and graduate students. We have gotten good players but they haven't been from H.S. and we haven't had them for 4 years. I think we were lucky to get Kante and will have him for 3 years. I don't know why we haven't been able to sign anyone. Is it that competitive now or is it because we haven't had a lot of minutes to offer. We certainly had post minutes to offer after losing Rok and Sabety and couldn't land a H.S. post player. We know we were sure in the mix and it appeared we were finalists for a few.garyg wrote:Just gave verbal to Charlotte...early recruiting not looking gooddaHUPride wrote:Jamir Young - PG - DeMatha Catholic - included Hofstra (along with Charlotte, LaSalle, ODU, BC) in his final 5 choices - all of those other schools are deep at PG.garyg wrote:Anyone hear any news on prospects or players making visits ??

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
The kids we want early have lots of options with better schools...they wait it out and go elsewhere...if those schools don't come through we have a chance...same every year...Foreman and Buie were not highly recruited.

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Yeah same old same old. Foreman and Buie not HIGHLY recruited but they had options but getting one led to getting the other and look how that panned out for us. If Buie can put it all together would be huge for us to have a steady PG who can dish and score. It just seems that other CAA schools have been able to get H.S. players so how are they out recruiting us. I would imagine that when Speedy goes to recruit players he brings with him some clout, no??HUSID74 wrote:The kids we want early have lots of options with better schools...they wait it out and go elsewhere...if those schools don't come through we have a chance...same every year...Foreman and Buie were not highly recruited.
Re: MBB Recruits 2019

Anyone have any news on potential recruits ???

Lilmelo Ball looking to go to Duke North Carolina Michigan State. None of those coaches want anything to do with the Ball family. That said the family advisors would like to see him go to a mid major. Hate to say it but we will be looking for a point guard soon. He doesn’t play great defense. So he should fit right in. PS. I hope you guys realize I’m being sarcastic

I somehow missed the news of this commitment, until I saw that Speedy re-tweeted Coach Farrelly’s tweet. Apparently he chose us over VCU and St. Joe’s.

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
a 3 star forward listed at 6'6"
Verbal commits showed offers from VCU, St Joes, Seton Hall, and Rutgers. Kid must have some game!

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Great news; glad to get at least one in the early period.
Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Temple was also seriously involved...appears to be a real good get based on schools that were recruiting himCards wrote:a 3 star forward listed at 6'6"

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
he is coming off a torn acl, hoping he hasn't lost a step, but excited about his potential.
i believe there are still 2-4 spots open.
wormley, wright-foreman, dwyer are definitely done after this year
buie (listed as a SR on the hofstra website) and j.taylor could potentially return next year

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Buie has another year left but do not know about Taylor
Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Looks like a good get....although at 6-6 he's a bit small. We still need a few bigs and a PG for this class

Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Other places have him listed at 6'7'. Safe to assume has grown.
Re: MBB Recruits 2019
Looks like a great athlete. ESPN has him rated 76 and a three star. Hope is closer to 6-7...have everything from 6-4 to 6-7.Reality is yes probably in between the highs and lows.
We still need at least one real big and a top notch PG.
