Re: ‘19 MD F Anthony Walker (Offer)
I hope we are still heavily involved with Walker, but I feel like the seemingly increased attention to Mading is indicative that we have an inkling we are out on Walker. I am interested to see what kind of presence we have at the open gym. Every staff in the country recruits 10+ kids for 2-4 positi...

Re: '19 MD F Marial Mading (Offer)
Right, there’s the rankings and also, like you said, a bunch of equally qualified staffs assessed him, and he ended up with officials to Tulane and ODU, aside from URI. Taking a chance on a guy is easier to take if you hit on all your primary targets. Official visits are easy to cancel if they’re n...

Re: '19 PA C - Naheem McLeod
At 7'4", if he can just block shots and rebound, he's worth a scholarship. Blake Vedder would agree lol This ain’t a Blake Vedder situation, Rhode Island has lots of options in this class and this is surely a top 125 type prospect in 19’. He is athletic and will only continue to improve.

This would be a huge signing for us, no two ways about it. This will also put us in a stronger position for Bishop and Walker which would allow us to close out this class and move on to recruiting 2020’s at this early stage which is a huge advantage to have.

It's hard to gauge the interest. I think he's a backup plan for LaSalle if they don't get Somerville. You think La Salle prefers Somerville over McLeod?
