General Visits/transfer recruiting

[adam914]

Yet another phenomenal name!

[Jersey77]

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.

[bigappleram]

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

[Billyboy78]

A Supreme Cook is Always Wright.

[Rhody74]

A Supreme Cook is Always Wright.

I’d be worried about them being poached by Proctor & Gamble.

[Rhody15]

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

[Jersey77]

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.

Definitely need a 4.

This is the last weekend to bring recruits on campus before the "Dead Period" 5/18 - 5/26.

[Billyboy78]

I'm glad we still have one spot open to see who entered the portal at and near the deadline.

This is the last weekend to bring recruits on campus before the "Dead Period" 5/18 - 5/26.

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.

I am a mother, and I would love a Mother's Day present such as a REALLY good recruit signing with us! The heck with a great brunch, I want a great player.

[Jdrums#3]

LTR - For that selfless display of Rhody support you deserve brunch AND a great player!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Pay attention, Archie and staff.

[rhodyram22]

Yet another phenomenal name!

Surely if we get this guy our team would have the best names in the country?

Yes, it wouldn’t even be close

Would be a great weekend.
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.

Go Rhody!

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.

Absolutely Stevey and BB78, I would definitely take him.
Hope something develops more than just social media communication.

[Jdrums#3]

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.

[Iggy1979]

Archie yet to take a one and done.
(He averaged 16 ppg against those 3 and 9 on the year?)

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..

Can’t find the tweet but we did reach out to him

Yes, almost 3 weeks ago, but haven't seen anything since. I wonder if Iggy heard something.

Congrats man! It might be too late for you to see this, but just enjoy the hell out of it and don't worry about anything. All you'll remember in a few years are the fun parts with your friends/family!

[Billyboy78]

Austin recruited a walk-on!

[Dino611]

Austin recruited a walk-on!

His first recruit in three years!!

[Rhodymob05]

How is that a thing?

[NYGFan_Section208]

How is that a thing?

Just like in contracting...four kinds of walk-ons?:

P Preferred
A Acceptable
D Discouraged
U Unacceptable

[SGreenwell]

How is that a thing?

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.

[SmartyBarrett]

Brandon Borde was a preferred walk-on I believe.

Eric Youncofski And Shane Plunkett were a couple of Hurley recruited walk ons.

[Jersey77]

Talking about walk-ons.

Trivia question.

Name a non-scholarship basketball player who was 1st Team All-American and National POY?

[rhodyblue12]

Interesting. Did they just not have a basketball scholarship, or none at all?
Like, could they have had a football or baseball scholarship? Dick Groat?

None at all, not Dick Groat

[Rhody78]

Bill Bradley!!!

[Jersey77]

Bill Bradley!!!

Bill Bradley is a good guess and yeah he was a POY but prior to the Naismith Award.
Not the one, I had in mind, but was a trick question.
Ace knows.

[Billyboy78]

Talking about walk-ons.

Trivia question.

Name a non-scholarship basketball player who was 1st Team All-American and National POY?

Is it Doug McDermott who didn't need a scholarship because his dad was coach?
