Re: '16 Transfer SG - Peter Kiss

I don't get what you guys expect from a true freshman... He averaged 13 points a game on the season. He actually has a nice shooting stroke and I think he could end up being a good shooter. I watched him put up 18 points against Gonzaga and I remember thinking why the hell is this kid at Quinnipiac...

"As for ratings, Bob Knight said, "These guys who rate players, never even saw most of them play."" There is some truth in this, but this is a different time. These guys have not seen everyone, but with the way AAU, prep and tourneys they have now, they have seen most of these gu...

Re: '16 Transfer PG - Frankie Hughes

I am not saying this guy would be or will be a great player wherever he ends up, but, unlike many here, I don't think this program can simply dismiss opportunities at ACC or SEC recruited level players.

"If Hughes is Stan I take him. But Stan was a Top 100 HS Player. Do you think Hughes has Stan Potential?" Hughes maybe wasn't a top 100 guy, but he was at least a 3 star and originally committed to Louisville. The reason he backed out of Louisville is because of trouble the school had and ...

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments

Every school offers about 50 guys a year. Doesn't mean anything except assuring recruit knows you are interested. Look at all the guys we have offered, that we don't get, goes for basically every school outside of KY and Duke types. Russell looks to be an excellent recruit no doubt. He probably wasn...

Re: '16 Transfer PG - Frankie Hughes

Hughes played in SEC, was initially committed to Louisville and de-committed when Louisville had some issues. So clearly someone at higher levels thing the kid has some talent. Lane was recruited by Drexel and landed at Longwood. Yes, he scored a lot of points in the Big South on a team that won 6 g...

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments

Agreed. Trust in Dan, trust in the process. If he wants Fatts over Langford, then it was the right move, and we can enjoy watching this play out over the next 4 years. Umm, was he recruiting him? URI was never really associated with MAL, so I don't think it was a matter of taking one over the other...

With who we are mentioned with for '17 remaining scholly, this is the guy I would like to get. Let's go with Berry and the 3 bigs we got. Laysaard was a nice recruit and Tertsea is big with apparently a lot of upside. And Berry can score around the basket and continues to work hard. Toppin has athle...

Good players come from everywhere and the staff has done a very good job of identifying good talent and kids, so I respect their view obviously. And the fact that he is visiting Pitt shows he has impressed some at the higher level. But looking at his stats, he played for a team that was 6-24 in the ...

Seems to me, could be wrong, but staff has been targeting more size and length. At least with this board. Dan mention size and length, and how basically important it is, talking about NC, I think, may be realizing if you want to win at the highest level you need it. Game is not going small, at least...

I hope the prominent alum, no matter what he gives to the program, doesn't interfere with the recruiting process of Dan's staff. We don't need any NCAA violations. No, this person is smarter than that. He also won't do anything, when his help isn't wanted. In his 50 years plus of involvement, nothi...

It seems like our recruiting of the NE Prep ranks died down once Luke left. Maybe we didn't stop, but most of our recent recruits have not come from any NE prep schools or any NE schools period. I think Berry is the last one, and he wasn't directly from the prep ranks. I think that last true one wa...
