From Walker on choosing Miami. “They also talked about all the guys they sent to the NBA and how I reminded them of some of those guys and just said that if I keep working hard, that I can end up playing at that level.” Kids eat up that bullshit recruiting pap about playing in the league like it's ...

I think with his 3rd visit this week came a renewed sense of optimism that he would commit afterwards.

Maybe he will. Or maybe things will unfold at FSU that will force his decision.

reckless jake

It seems to me at this point you could sum up McLeod's attitude about playing for URI as... I wouldn't mind playing for you guys, but man, I really, really want to play for those guys...

URI is only pursuing McLeod now. No other ‘19s are currently being recruited.

Hmmmm... should we read this as we have a verbal from Naheem?

Does that mean McLeod is committing? Is that how to read this?

If Koprivica doesn’t commit this weekend, he’s got other plans. Those predictions were from back in June, so they don’t hold as much weight now. But we will see. I’m kind of over the whole back n forth with Naheem and the fan base, either he comes or he doesn’t at this point...and personally I will...

I watched Somerville play against McLeod in July. The URI coaches were there watching. Both players knew that. McLeod outplayed Somerville. Somerville is a legit 6’10”. Somerville would be URI’s third option at the PF position or second/third option at C. There is a big difference between another o...

Then where are the offers? Late bloomer? So are Layssard, Tertsea and Preston I guess! At some point we have to sign one of our priority recruits if we want to approach the Gonzaga level that many have thought we can reach. We need to close on McLeod and can’t settle on Somerville. The videos are o...

reckless jake

The one thing that continues to puzzle me about McLeod is why doesn't he have more offers?

A legitimate 7 footer with good footwork and decent athleticism. His recruitment is odd in today's recruiting churn and madness.

The quiet surrounding his recruitment is deafening.

reckless jake

Candidly, I think his decision says more about the perception of the A10 Conference then it does about playing basketball at URI. Clearly he wants to play in a Power 5 conference and he favors the ACC. He's not even going to take his official visit to VCU. It hurts the ego but it's not the end of th...

reckless jake

I think it is pretty simple in terms of McLeod. If he comes back to URI next weekend than he will give us a verbal prior to him leaving. Why else would he come back? Florida State has attended some games in the summer with assistant coaches, but that is about it. They have not made him a priority l...

reckless jake

What if this was the situation - what would you do? I am not saying that this is definitely the case. Walker wants to go to all of his visits and make a decision around Oct 26-30. Walker is scheduled to visit VCU Oct 19-21. Rhody is currently one of three schools in the running for Walker and VCU c...

Coach Boswell checking out of his hotel in Philly this morning.... is he on the Naheem McLeod recruiting trail today?

I would rather coach a kid who has 85% of the talent level but always gives you 100% of his effort, then a kid who is 100% talented, but only gives you 85% of his effort.

Hammond. Mading and Long all seem to be 100% max effort coachable kids.

They liked Hammond enough after visiting with him and his family that they offered him and then extended him an official visit. The arrangements were put together quickly enough to indicate there's strong mutual interest on both sides. I get the intuitive feeling that Coach Cox is of the mindset tha...

Another option could be what happened with Amir Harris last year. He committed and Rhody still went after and got Adams. Once Adams committed, Amir decommitted. Rhody staff could’ve told Walker that Mading is only a backup. Verbal commits are not binding and players do get recruited over every year...

Maybe but why schedule a visit so far out? Over a month from now? October 27th happens to be the day of the Clemson-FSU football game.

The buyout for the Nevada game was $ 50 thousand. Essentially, Nevada bought a home game against a Top 25 team for the dirt cheap price of $50 grand.

The full schedule should be any day now. There are a couple games contracts being finalized. July 1 will be about right. With the staffing stuff, just about every position on the staff had to be posted and go through the proper state job search protocols. It wasn't just the two spots that opened wh...
