Bar I was just going to post him in the "Transfer" thread.
He is a player Woodward should be all over, being from his backyard in East Orange NJ.
Also shot 54% FG
I would love us to add a player like this with our last spot.

Agreed Jersey. Would want him over Fuchs in a nano second. Another proven commodity.

Yup, give me proven commodities over JUCOs and less heralded freshman any day of the week.

IMO, our biggest need or spot to fill is a PF or 4 and if they can stretch it even better.

Currently we only have Rory available who is still very raw but in time can develop into a solid player.

Even if Archie decides to play small, that only leaves us with Brown and Foumena upfront and neither have any Div. 1 experience which can pose a problem until Bilau is able to come back and be effective.

There are still several available so curious to see what direction the staff will go.

The last weekend but, perhaps not a good weekend.

You don’t want to piss off mom - unless coach arranges the visit to end by early Saturday evening.

Recruiting while pissing off mom’s…no bueno.

I think it is listed as a big no, no in the recruiting handbook.

Not that you insinuated anything, Jersey. But just in case, be prepared to duck and cover in case there are any lurking mother’s on here.

A paid for trip with mom to beautiful Rhode Island.
Plus, her son gets a scholarship offer to URI and hopefully accepts, what a nice present for mom.

Excellent solution, Jersey. Adapt and overcome!

Don’t forget a nice NIL offer, too.

I stand corrected.

He would be a better get than Green.

9 ppg and 7 boards.

39% from 3

Dropped 21 against Kentucky, 14 against Florida, 13 against Louisville.

He can help on the boards - which fills a need. Plus can provide some scoring and another 3 point threat.

He could improve the team.

Based on what Stevey presented above, what’s not to like ?

I love that 3pt %. Seems like the coaches are finally prioritizing shooters, which is great.

We haven't yet but not like Archie hasn't tried: Pride, Minor, Mack, and Conway, just to name a few.

I think he will try and take a player that fills our biggest need, regardless of how many eligibility years left.

Rather take a freshman at this point, like Spenser Mahoney..

It's pretty common, like an informal kind of agreement that you'll make the team if you come to the school. I can't remember who, but we had someone else who was a preferred walk-on within the past five years.
