Well that escalated quickly. He wanted the big conference- got the offer and jumped on it. Good luck, Jarred!

2016. What are the odds he stick to Penn State? So many of these early commits change their minds. Agreed. In this case, though, one of his future Oak Hill teammates has also already committed to PSU, so it might stick. Butts is only a '15, and they've already taken time to watch him this summer an...

Jack Andrade at least covered it when it was first released. He also didn't feel the need to tell us that E.C. was the only A10 or Big East player selected.

Have to like this- versatile and getting better. This is from the Villanova camp in June, and now I'm done hyping Gilbert. For now. Ahmad Gilbert (2015/Constitution) The 6-6, 190 pound wing had a very strong weekend, leading his Constitution team to a 4-0 record. Gilbert displayed a consistent 3-poi...

Gilbert's another guy, like Reuter, who has cut his list as he's starting to attract more attention. The above comparison to Hassan as a player continues to make little sense, but I do see similarities in their development. Right now, he's not the best player they're after, but he's intriguing. He r...

One of my favorite A10 coaches, Dr. John Giannini. I like his approach to coaching and building a program. https://twitter.com/CDiSano44/status/495316971219861506 I thought this point was really interesting: First of all, I understand the Atlantic 10 is more about chemistry and experience than it is...

He counts to the coaches in their planning, which is way more important than mine.

ace

They'll play this out however they want, but if Mann, or any player in a similar situation, ends up playing without a scholarship, it will be his choice, not the staff's. Yeah, and…..?????? The and ??? is that he counts as a scholarship in your planning, which is how this whole conversation started.

Everyone's talking about Bressler's math. Well, if Mann does attend the UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND --- HE DOESN'T COUNT AS A SCHOLARSHIP PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah but right now they have three, which bressler wanted to fill with Butts, 2 big men, and Mann. I like his style but not his math.

Grad transfer is always a possibility.

A wing type player and a power forward type would be strong additions. I don't see an especially strong focus on guards for the '15s. Some guys might be classified as SGs, but they're the 6'5"ish types not combo guards. I think they're mentioned in connection with a few guards (like Alston befo...

But my favorite part of that interview is his answer to how it felt to go through the recruiting process, with a reference to how he went through it twice...

"The second time, getting it right, felt better."

There's one with Watson, too.

You make baskets, you play.

Interest certainly decreased on or about May 16.

That being said, Alston is very good, and I'd love to see him eventually pick VCU.

There's some funny stuff in here from earlier. I'm glad to see that GBG's hypothesized 8 player recruiting class for '15 is unlikely to materialize. As for Oregon, there was also a report that JaQuan Lyle is not yet eligible for sure. This is all coming, of course, after the mess of Austin, Artis, a...

Cooley's looking good. That mascot is terrifying. Saint Joe's contending for a top 5 finish in the A10 seems really unlikely; they have Bembry, who is great, but lost a lot of production. For those that don't click through to the Projo, Providence is going to Italy for a week in August. The Italy tr...

This is from earlier this month at the Breakout Classic where Hurley, among others, watched him. It's interesting to read how his approach seemed to change. He must be pretty confident that one of the five he's named will be the right choice. http://cityofbasketballlove.com/2014/07/breakout-classic-...

Round-up of some key recruiting points. I think this one is especially good- some targets remain the same, but it's a really fluid time right now- 7.

Nice piece from Chris DiSano on Marshall. He has a really interesting background, both as an athlete (walk-on to conference champion) and professionally. I like the way he articulates his approach to doing his job. By all accounts, this is a great hire. http://www.coxhub.com/articles/new-strength-co...

And then the next two guesses were Virgina, who just offered but made his final five.

That's a solid list, didn't expect him to rule out other schools so early. He had a great July.

They watched his team at the End of Summer Classic in King of Prussia this weekend.

His AAU team, DC Premier, has won their first three games out at Fab 48. It looks like a pretty balanced team. Butts had 10/6 in the latest game (5 for 7); 8 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal in another; and 6 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals in the first game.

That said, we signed Hare, EC, and Hassan while Bobby was here, Preston too. EC even said he was excited to learn from BOTH. Garrett was very clearly reported to be a "preston recruit," and as you can see with some kids, they get attached and will follow the relationship. JT was the first...

1) yes i totally did, and then that was unfounded once we were able to get Garrett to stay, and JT to come here. - up until that point, Hurley had not recruited a stud without Bobby or Preston. I had no reason to be confident in his recruiting ability until then, nor did anyone. Maybe anyone who di...

He missed layups b/c IMO he lacked the confidence and strength at the rim....there werent 60 of them and very few of them were open. Almost all of them were contested, but that said he still is 6'7" and if he wants to play on this team he has to finish at the rim. Slash to the rim from the win...

Before we go completely making up numbers, Reischel missed 54 total two point shots, of all types, last season (1.7/game).

Is there room for improvement in his game? Of course. But that can be said for all of them.

Ok, then.

Anyway, the Orlando Classic bracket for 2013 was announced last July, so they should be releasing that soon.

Neither style is wrong as a player, but you ...

How many layups did Jarelle miss last season? A lot. Many were wide open close in layups and many were easy put backs. Free throw shooting got blamed often on this board but I remember the blown close in shots many of which were JR and biruta had his share too but JR was the worst. This is kind of ...
