David Green commits to Hofstra. Real talented and versatile at 6-7 215 pounds...Great job by the staff to get two quality commits early!

Nice job by the staff

Now if we land 6-10 Belton from Caleb's old stomping grounds what a class that would be...

Love this get!!! Great work by the staff - huge talent and potential at a position of need!!! About time the team has a legit stretch inside / outside player at the 4! A 6’7 Coburn perhaps...

Welcome Mr. Green, let’s get some RINGS

1 more to go to secure a big time class...

Very excited about the two fall signings! Great job by Coach Joe and staff! With one more place open, I'm curious to see just what player might be signed for 2020-2021.

I am thrilled with these 2 commitments - I love LOVE that we have nailed down 2 nice players early - I know the coaches are always out there working hard - but early signings make ME feel like guys want to come here (sometimes a late signing makes me feel the are coming be default; or we are just reaching). This is great news.

Believe our wide open offense and JWF's success contributing to increased interest in program.

Congrats to JM + Team... two great grabs and good momentum.

While expectations with being preseason #1 might be tough, it will certainly help with recruiting throughout the first few months of the season for that 3rd open recruiting spot.

Have been out of town recently and not posting here. Back now and very happy with the Green signing. Love the size and the potential for having a true "4" who can shoot back on the court.

Captain...has your contact heard anything in regards to what the coaching staff hopes to do with last scholarship ??

no info but based on how many quality transfers they've been able to pick up (from Purdue, St. Bona, Georgia, Rhody, etc.) the last few years, i bet they leave it open, barring a guy like javarzia belton wanting to come here.

I agree with cactus - and that is the way I would want them to play it. If a nice big commits from HS go for it - otherwise hold the spot and look for a transfer.

Sleeper recruit right in our backyard at Kellenberg in 6-9 Nick Spinosa...appears to have nice inside/outside game

Hofstra recruit David Green comes from same Florida HS as Grant Riller

I'm just seeing that 6'10" 220 lb.PF transfer Patrick Tape a grad student from Columbia is eligible right away. He averaged 11.3 points a game last year and 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. He could be a one year player for us to give us depth in the post.

WOW - we need to keep our streak of Ivy League transfers alive - Koon (Princeton)/Dwyer (Penn) - we have had our success with those 2 bigs - why not this one?
Nice find T2195.

I think unfortunately this si a long shot for HU.
Tape (pronounced Ta-pay) is a pretty good and mobile big man who starts for Columbia.Would love to see it happen, but he may have his sights on P5 type teams. He is a poor man's Nathan Knight.

This is so true this kid started most of the games for Columbia last year and I'm sure wherever he goes he wants to start and/or getting major minutes. That's not going to happen here.

Word is were close to landing the third and final piece to this class...hearing if he comes this will be our best class since Joe arrived....know nothing more.

Waiting anxiously on this but we heard he's not a post player. Correct?
