Any relation to corny Thompson?

[CamsRams]

Duane Thompson on campus today.

[RhowdyRam02]

Great day to be on campus!

[CamsRams]

[Rhody15]

Backdrop definitely better than the plain white background that always seems to be used for visits.

He would be a player I would be extremely excited to get.
Considered one of the top Juco bigs (6'9"/225) in the nation, last season averaged 12 pts/11 rebs.
He would be part of the 23-24 class, thinking at least one of our current bigs will leave if he signs.
He is from Virginia so probably a KJ recruit.

[Jdrums#3]

Interesting. Will have to look up scouting reports on him for insight.

Is he a perimeter big? More of a banger, low post presence? Good passer? Has a handle? Athletic? 3 point threat?

I am curious.

More of an inside rim protector/rebounder.
Not an outside scorer.

[DevRam]

He’s a double-double machine.

[DevRam]

This kid is playing very well, 2025 URI offer.

[DevRam]

Can we offer the next Martin brother in line! Qadir appears to have that Hassan game to him. Get him here, they are hoopers!!

35% FT shooter if I looked up the right guy. 48% the year before. That would surely need to improve.

[Dino611]

Per Verbal Commits we offered this JUCO kid as well, I think we are all right that a big or two is going to be asked to leave at the end of the year

Has nice stats at one of the better Juco basketball programs.
He is 6'8"/215 from Australia.
Averaging 14.5 pts/ 11 rebs, shooting 65.6% FG and 45.5% 3PT.

I don’t know if we will or if we have shown interest yet. Qadir has only one offer that I saw when I just looked him up (from Bryant).

Hopefully, some of the others here that are more tied in to the program will come along and provide more insight.

If there is mutual interest, I agree that it would be an excellent story and tradition.

Looks like a young Hassan !!

[Jdrums#3]

He does, Reef. Good gene’s!

For the purposes of full disclosure and running the risk of appearing too excited, my good gene’s comment is not meant as an evaluation of talent but is purely meant as a relation on a physiological level.

[steveystuds06]

2:58 in, he has an absolutely ridiculous putback jam. WOW

[Jersey77]

Probably more skills than any other big we currently have, would be a great addition.

[steveystuds06]

[jcru]

That looks Big Time, to my eye.

[theblueram]

This guy, this guy is not taking any crap under the basket. Sign him up coach.

[Jdrums#3]

Yup. That is one impressive put-back.

Tyson Brown at 24
Buru at 29

Get them both Archie!

[bigappleram]

For any Last Chance U fans (btw this latest season is 1 of the best IMO) there are a few ELAC guys on that list.

That’s literally the first thing I looked for haha. Episode 5 when they pick up a big win and then are all celebrating in the locker room was freaking incredible. I love that show

[bigappleram]

I legit wanted us to recruit the Bryce Penn kid. Ended up at Cal Poly.

[adam914]

So funny, I kept thinking the same thing while watching. "We could use a couple of these kids". BPJ was definitely my first thought. Great show and this season has been really good.

[reef]

Not familiar with that show what channel ?

[adam914]

It's on Netflix. The whole series is great. There are a few seasons of a football version to.

[bigappleram]

You’ll love it Reef.

[steveystuds06]

You’ll love it Reef.

Watch it, Reef. It's awesome!!

The football seasons are great as well but the two basketball seasons are my favorite.

[bigappleram]

[Billyboy78]

Hopefully we can keep that pipeline from Orangeville going.

[bigappleram]

Intriguing prospect with that size and skill set.
Borderline 3/4 star per 247 for those people who care about that sort of thing.

[theblueram]

You know I care BAR . Like I've said in other posts, I'm trying to be patient until the October signings. That class is going to give a big indication on where we will be going.

[jcru]

yeah, his game is refined and smooth. That would be a nice get for Archie.

[Rhody15]

You still haven't answered my questions regarding next years class.

We have two commits already.

There's 4 kids left in the Top 100. They go to school in FL and AZ.

4* transfers don't count according to you.

We will not be getting those kids ranked in the Top 100.

So you're already punting next year and the future?

Not sure what to say to you. I am waiting on the October signings to see what Archie can pull in for recruits. That's October 23, which hasn't happened yet. That is the 24 class. Am I punting next year? Well unless we get some solid transfers, yup it's a punt because the same players this year will be here next year. Along with 2 2* freshmen.

They aren’t 2* you idiot, but maybe according to you anything outside the top 100 isn’t worthy for you

I understand where you are coming from, unless some 3rd party validates the quality of the recruit, with I would say at least 3*, you are then relying on your faith in the staff to have found a hidden gem. One could argue it’s harder than ever to be a hidden gem in this Information Age. Has this staff earned the benefit of the doubt?

[bigappleram]

247 is widely believed to be the most reliable.

They are both 3 stars on 247.

Estevez held offers from VCU, Wichita State, St. Bonaventure.
Dubsky from K-State, Maryland and GW.

IMO the quality of the programs offering is more relevant than the stars.

247 doesn't even have Dubsky's correct school that he's at.

Rivals has more offers listed for Dubsky as well.

Estevez doesn't have a Rivals page.

[theblueram]

I get shit on all the time because I focus on star recruiting. Like it doesn't matter. I'll give two recent examples. EC Matthews was a 4* recruit and JT was a 4* Top 100. In 2014 when EC was a soph and JT was in his second game in D1, they beat #21 Nebraska. JT hit 2 dimes in overtime and EC scored 26 pts. Combined, they scored about 60% of the points. THAT'S what top ranked players do for your program. If I add in Hass who was a high ranked 3* recruit, those three scored 70% of the points that game. It matters.
