Wow this would be HUGGGGGE! He would immediately slot in right next to Cyril. I heard he had two officials already in the works and we weren't even one of them?

No further insight, but my connection to DCP is as solid as concrete. Just a waiting game now. Seems to be he's going to do his visits to keep his word to those schools and that we're the one for him.CT Rhody wrote:Wow this would be HUGGGGGE! He would immediately slot in right next to Cyril.

Wow that's great news. Unfortunately 18 year olds can change their minds often so hopefully this continues to play out this way. Glad to see that we are also getting an official visit!NorthernRamFan wrote:No further insight, but my connection to DCP is as solid as concrete. Just a waiting game now.

Re: '18 MD PF Jermaine Harris (Offer)
From what I could gather in the conversation I had he isn't making this decision on his own and the family loves our staff, the development players have had and the fact that we have a great academic institution not just a "basketball factory"

Only one thing: If it's true we're the one, why would the other schools "waste" a visit?
Doesn't quite add up from their point of view.

1. Top 100 bigs don't grow on trees so you take your chance.
2. Every coach feels like once they get a kid on campus anything can happen.

This is so true on both points. That's why we shouldn't feel even close to good about it until he commits and visits are done.Dre3000 wrote:It makes sense to me:rambone 78 wrote:Only one thing: If it's true we're the one, why would the other schools "waste" a visit?

Harris retweeted the video Fatts posted of video of himself at summer practices. Have to think that's a good sign!

His official visit is scheduled for the first week of classes and it is his first official scheduled anywhere. He will not be the only one we are following that will be here that week.

Great info, do you know who else is here that weekend? That's great to hear that we get the first official! Hopefully Dan and co can close that weekend.

I've always thought that it is frowned upon to tweet recruits, by both the NCAA and our coaching staff.

IIRC, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, someone (RR12345?) was tweeting a recruit and our staff contacted him and told him to knock it off.

I recall the same 78, told not to do it.Billyboy78 wrote:IIRC, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, someone (RR12345?) was tweeting a recruit and our staff contacted him and told him to knock it off.
The question NRF and Rambone is - at this time, does the URI Coaching staff want fans tweeting recruits? Not tweeting recruits? Or don't care either way? For me it does not matter since I never have and never will, but it does matter for hundreds of fans out there. Another issue could be that with 35 or more offers out there, how do we know what the staff has ommunicated to each of them? Could tweets be misinterpreted?
But regardless, bottom line is we should follow the direction of the NCAA and the URI Staff. Good question to ask the staff.

Re: '18 MD PF Jermaine Harris (Offer)
There's ways to tweet that are kosher, don't necessarily think the school needs to be mentioned if your profile says something that makes the connection... other schools do it, why can't our fans?ramster wrote:I recall the same 78, told not to do it.Billyboy78 wrote:IIRC, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, someone (RR12345?) was tweeting a recruit and our staff contacted him and told him to knock it off.

Re: '18 MD PF Jermaine Harris (Offer)
I suppose they can if they want to, but knowing it was said in the past by our staff "to knock it off" that this in itself would warrant an approval of sorts from the Coaching Staff imho. Would you agree?NorthernRamFan wrote:There's ways to tweet that are kosher, don't necessarily think the school needs to be mentioned if your profile says something that makes the connection... other schools do it, why can't our fans?ramster wrote:I recall the same 78, told not to do it.Billyboy78 wrote:IIRC, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, someone (RR12345?) was tweeting a recruit and our staff contacted him and told him to knock it off.

Re: '18 MD PF Jermaine Harris (Offer)
If you tweet at a player, like @playersnamehere, that's considered contact by the NCAA. If you're an alum or a season ticket holder than you're considered an agent of the school.
I think you could say "Player A would look good in Keaney Blue." That's just a statement, and without the @ it's not contact.

That's obviously some very tough competition. Hopefully his long relationship with Cox and his newer relationship with Dan is enough for him to consider us. As someone said, fingers crossed.Iggy1979 wrote:Still sounds this way to me.Iggy1979 wrote:It sounds like it's more like a top 5 and 3 others:
