BOOM - I'm right here fellas! Sorry for the delay, busy holiday weekend - Happy Easter to all!
FANTASTIC get - WELCOME GREER!! Have posted a bit on him before, but this is a very talented young man, and a perfect fit for HU and next yrs squad - consensus 3 star, ranked at his position, offer list prior to the shooting was Illinois, Providence, Depaul, Auburn, Illinois St, Bradley, and others - a legit Chicago star - offers today have been noted I think: CSU, FGCU, Evansville, Detroit, GSU, and interest from George Mason, Iona, and others
there were concerns over his ability to rebound to the same level as before, hence the difference in offers, but he's worked his butt off at Daytona State, tons of rehab, pool work, etc., and most believe he's just about there - prob 90% - has been noted that when he's back to 100 the sky is the limit - and those offers and interest are
still Missouri Valley, Mountain West, Horizon, A10, etc.
put up 8+pts and 5+rebounds per game last yr, a major rehab year for him in terms of real PT, elevated to 12+points and 7+rebounds per this year, and that's on a very good JUCO 25-7 team that was getting votes for the JUCO top 25
played in every single game (endurance), can play or
GUARD any spot 1-4, and is just a full-hearted young man - has overcome tremendous obstacles, built himself into a good student and qualifier, and is
very driven to prove his worth - his injury forced him to expand his game, has developed a jump shot, moves in the paint, and can still slash to the hoop, attack the rim, and shoot the 3 - was a pure athletic freak before the shooting, now he's a
full player
continues a great FL connection for HU, and brings in a very nice Chicago area tie-in - this young man WILL get coverage there during his time at HU, which is obviously great for future recruiting - he should
flourish in JM's system
Now, next up, I'm looking for a big get from either Ford or Gray - HU must-have 1 more ready to play wing, and those 2 are at the top of my list - feel real good about Ford, Wofford (his other recent visit, unofficial) just took a solid HS wing-forward of exactly the same mode - I'm liking HU's chances with the official visit a LOT
Gray has landed a few more mid offers as the SPI program is starting to blow up on the recruiting trail - some big players there garnering big attention - Ford and Gray play the same spot, but slightly different games, Ford more on the 'smooth' side with Gray more on the 'explosive' side - both bringing 4 yrs - will GLADLY take either, and believe that HU needs to
Also, I'd like to see a PF and a PG to come in with the plan to redshirt unless absolutely needed - want 2 studs in those spots with a year to incubate, and then ready to hit the floor running - love the PG that wants to visit, or Cahiem Brown that EP was promoting - wondering if Junior Saintel can satisfy PF spot, or if they have another trick up their sleeves for that...
Team got big time better today for next season, let's keep it going!!!
