Re: Thomas Haugh

Saw this kid live yesterday. He’s very good and skilled. Resembles Jake Layman who use to play at MD. He’s got chance to be very good. He’s combo forward. He can play inside/out.

Re: ‘20 MD Elijah Wood (Rhode Island Commit)

I respect the concern. Even from Slim. However, Slim had Matt Balanc as a major contributor on a good D1 team. We are waiting to see Matt’s results at Quinnipiac. He was also very high on Yazzy Gultekin who signed with VTech and has followed Buzz to Texas A&M - let’s see how he does. I will tak...

Re: 18 MD G Matt Balanc (Quinnipiac Commit)

Slim, any explanation for why Balanc yo-yo'ed in and out of the lineup so much? Was he hurt? Looking at his stats, I ultimately don't think we missed much. His numbers are slightly better than Jeremy Sheppard, at a lower conference, and what URI was desperately missing under Cox was star-level tale...
