Max Hoetzel a 6'8" F at Indiana is leaving their program, somebody we offered at out high school

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

3 star SF out of Calabasas, CA, who prepped in MA.
7 minutes a game this year.

I saw Hoetzel play at RIC last year when I went to see Jarvis play. I can't remember exactly what I liked, but I remember being impressed.

Blue Man · Unread post by **Blue Man** » 9 years ago

Says he wants to be somewhere his family can see him play more though. Don't think another 1000 miles would help.

We've only had two kids from California in my 87 years
following the program, that I can recall.
The handy-dandy Mike Brown and Josh Openheimer.
Unless you're UConn, UNC or Duke you're not moving
cross country.

87 Years?? Wow..I didn't know you were that old Rod. No wonder you're so grumpy lol.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

If you asked my granddaughters how old I am, they'll tell you
that I'm 98 years old.

I don't know. Just thinking of BC...up the road, Jared Dudley and Craig Smith were from CA. Reggie Jackson is from CO. All NBA guys. Smith was four star. Jackson was three. Even Ryan Anderson could play...transferred to Arizona and he played at BC for three years from Cali. I bet if you looked up and down the east coast at the non blue bloods, you would see plenty of west coast kids. If you have a quality reason to go, kids will move cross country. Some guys want to experience the east coast. Lot of quality players out there...no reason to just eliminate it from recruiting.

Two player, one who was here for one year, since 1962,

I hear you. Just saying that kids will go cross country for school even if it's not Duke, etc. And, it would be foolish just to look east of the Mississippi.

The only time we went after CA players was when Harrick
brought in Jason Kapono and Shea Cotton.
Calhoun could do it. Not sure what Al's secret was for his
West Coast players.
An interesting story....Al was supposed to be on one of the planes going
to LA, that was crashed into the Towers on 9/11.
He'd changed his plans at the last minute.

reckless jake · Unread post by **reckless jake** » 9 years ago

Your point is a valid one Rod, and this doesn't change it at all, but wasn't Josh King from Cali?

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Yup, but his father lived in Boston, so it
was kind of a fluke type recruitment.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 9 years ago

There was a connection between one of Mike Brown's coaches and Tim O'Shea who was an assistant at the time.

I didn't know that about Al's flight change. That makes him eligible for the next "Final Destination" movie.

Have heard we are involved with a transfer from Indiana. Also, another name to keep an eye on is Junior Etou.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

With Dan's name out there, I'm guessing everything is on hold regarding possible transfers, including that big man we're supposedly getting.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Yup. This is now a weapon for other coaches to use against URI.

Bos,
would it be the Freshman Forward Max Hoetzel or the Soph Stanford Robinson? or someone else?

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

I would think Dan has, or will contact his players and any recruits in the pipeline, and let them know where he stands.

He's not going to leave everyone twisting in the wind, that would hurt recruiting for sure.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 9 years ago

He did last time, so yes, he will when he has something concrete to say.

I imagine everything gets hashed out (extension for Hurley or he leaves) by next week, at the very latest, anyway. I don't think it's a long enough time span to substantially hurt recruiting, unless there was some sort of visit or scouting trip planned that was disrupted as a result.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 9 years ago

Correct, decision on whether to stay at URI or take the SJU job will be done within a week.

In the glass is half full philosophy, -- South Carolina is the choice and as a result Chris Silva reopens his recruitment.

Rod says he doesn't count because his dad was from Boston.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

If Chris Silva is available, Dan should be making a call, like yesterday.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I said King was a special case. Don't put words in my mouth!

Chris Silva isn't available. He signed an LOI way back in the fall.

Florida State signed a 6'4 juco today. is it possible Terrence Mann rethinks that commitment?

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 9 years ago

Damion is about to get very, very popular. He'll be a huge get for somebody. I hate to see good players leave Philly, but I don't blame him.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Twisted, read the A10 board where you think 2 from URI are leaving.

I guess we know who the 3 candidates are, Oneykaba, Butler, and Reischel. The first 2 are more likely.

Announcement forthcoming?

Having 3 'ships available would be nice. Sorry about whoever leaves, but hopefully they can get minutes somewhere.

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 9 years ago

I hope Butler is the DII player of the year.

Wait, what if they are a package deal?

At first blush, not really what we'd need. We don't have major minutes available for a guard and as everyone knows we need size. But if an extra spot were to open up, Lee would be the best shooter on our team immediately from three and the line. As much as we need some size, I see shooting as as big of a hole. TJ's role/minutes have to go somewhere. He has decent size for a wing and can rebound a bit for a wing. If they reached out to him it wouldn't upset me.

SmartyBarrett · Unread post by **SmartyBarrett** » 9 years ago

Would help Friars quite a bit, also. They could use a shooter about as bad as we could.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Look at Lee's shooting percentages.
He's more of a scorer than a shooter.
Roughly EC's percentages, and we don't consider
him a shooter.

Interesting list with some familiar names.
Don't see a lot of help there.
I wonder if Tariq Owens was the player Dan said he almost got
to transfer mid year? Dan said the player was 6'10'.

I disagree. I looked at it last night, so this is from recall without looking again, but he shot 6% better than EC from three (not a negligible difference) and shot 89% from the FT line.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

We could use all the shooters we can get.....

Hey with 3 openings we could get a big, another shooter, and a PG.

bressler3south · Unread post by **bressler3south** » 9 years ago

To me, the very best player who would thrive in Coach Hurley's system and the team would benefit most is Brown's Rafael Maia, a defensive workhorse, a pure rebounder with soft hands….His development was hindered by limited coaching. He is active at both ends!!!!
