URI closing hard; Seton Hall trying to hold on. I like it

Today concludes his visit right?

ALL THE BIGS

I want Silva and AFLAKpui.

Read in one of the blurbs on Silva that he's originally from Africa? Anybody know anything else about his backstory?

Really like this kid, even moreso than Enoch, he seems more athletic whereas Enoch was a bit more polished. I will take the athleticism and trust DH to bring out the polish. Great company in the schools recruiting him, would be a major get for Rhody if we could land him.

Did you not see me post the flag of Gabon on the previous page?

He has a familiar story- been in the US for only a couple of years, very new to basketball in general.

I'm not really getting much feed back on the visit. I know ...I know...patience...

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

Yes, Ace. We're all well schooled on what the flag of Gabon looks like.
Seriously, it's just wait and see, as all of these visits are.

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

Sept 19th, so we only have to wait 2 weeks for his decision.

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

Gabon's biggest export? Oil. (that is just for you, rod)

Jonathan Nwankwo just committed to Minnesota over SHU, among others, have to think they're even more in need of Silva now.

I know it was almost 20 years ago now that Hurley was a student athlete there but I wonder what he had to say to Silva about Seton Hall

Yes, Ace. Gabon has four times the income as the average African nation,
because of that.

How does Rhode Island stack up with Gabon????

Thankfully, we've got elections coming up to straighten that out…….

I really like our chances when we are recruiting against schools that don't have much in common with us. I just do, the stuff that we have going for us gives us a fighters chance when we make it into any kids last 3-5.

Interesting that Seton Hall would ever to assume to be the leader for any recruit. Hopefully we can land Silva since he would solidify our 2015 class that's for sure.

Some Seton Hall fans do not view things the same as you do.

We cannot lose this kid to URI...that would be very bad. Feels like we are in the lead so fingers crossed.9/5 7:51 AM |

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

Last time I checked there were plenty of those types in Johnston, Cranston and Providence.

And you can understand the SHU opinion that losing a kid from their own backyard to URI would hurt.

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

Ah, BAR, very true….But to have another poster describe us as "nondescript" is oxymoronish, as the best thing one can say about West Orange is that it's close to West New York.

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

BAR left out Nort Probidenz.
Oh, and West Orange (or any Orange, NJ) is a DUMP!

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

Means nothing, I know, but 2 of the 247 guys switched from Seton Hall to us today.

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

And Rutgers might be jumping in late.

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

Rutgers head coach Eddie Jordan was present to watch 2015 recruit Chris SIlva. Silva is rated as a 4* recruit according to 247Sports and is also considering Rhode Island, Seton Hall, and South Carolina among others.

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

Rutgers had offered, but I was told that Jordan was there just for Briscoe and that Shaheen was there for both Silva and Briscoe. We'll see, I guess.

That Seton Hall thread was pathetic, only one page and just a couple

I wouldn't say it means nothing. I wouldn't bet my house based on their CBs, but going our way is better for us than the reverse.

You've probably never been to West Orange. There are massive homes there. And, really, the average home price is probably close to 500k. South Orange is unique. There are some really cool homes. Turn of the century mansions. And a really nice community. The problem is if you go about a mile off the beating path, you are in the war zone of Newark. I wouldn't want to live there but I can see why people do.

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

It was written with a Seton Hall slant. Obviously this writer
doesn't regard their former point guard enough to consider
URI a real threat to get Silva.

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

The people on the Villanova board seem to think he's going to SH too.

I'm sure they're all experts on what Silva is thinking.

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

I find it interesting that we cancelled Enoch and now Cylla is delayed. Could Silva be a RAM next week?????

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

Cylla is a swingman. He's not connected in any way to Silva's recruitment.

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

Silva is visiting South Carolina this weekend, let's not make the mistake Seton Hall fans are making and assume his interest in other schools isn't real.

Cylla is a 6-6 athletic wing, not a big man.

Enoch's visit was probably cancelled because they didn't believe his interest was sincere.

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

BFC sees the truth.

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

Well if Silva commits then either Poyser or Cylla is out. If Poyser commits then either Cylla or Silva is out. We only have two ships to fill and we are on three entirely different positions. Doesn't matter to me, but I would rather have Silva out of the three.
