Would be a couple of Tertsea's or Layssard's.
Pass.
I agree with DC that they aren’t a Rhody focus. To say a couple of Tertsea’s or Layssard’s is way off.
Makhi was a 4 star recruit ranked #69. He was the best player on the DC Premier AAU team that won the Adidas Championship.

Waste of time even talking about the Maryland transfers. We aren’t even a thought in their head whether that is good or bad. I’m not sure why every time someone transfers we talk about them coming to URI with no connection or mention of it. Doherty obviously has a connection and interest. Don’t really want any of them, but this is a possibility with Doherty.
1. We like to dream. 2. It’s not a total waste of time when they are from DC, I assume Cox knows them.

Only one of them is good but they are going anywhere as a package deal. They also have excessive baggage. It’s best we steer clear.
How many schools, other than Georgetown, have two scholarships available right now?

I am not agreeing with RamStock to not talk about the Mitchell twins, and I get it might be quiet for the next 2-3 weeks for Chris to possilby make a decision/enroll
But could we move the Mitchell talk to the general recruiting thread and stop talking about them here in the Doherty thread.
I want the kid, I believe he'll help. Others that don't agree I'm totally cool with and respect ur opinion, but lets stop talking about the Mitchell twins in this kids thread
Wrong thread. It’s discussed under General Recruiting thread.
Note that it was already brought up as being in the wrong thread way back when it first started. Just go to the General thread - - - if the Mitchell Twins need to go to any KB recruiting thread at all.
I'm curious to see how he would do here, if he does commit to URI. Like Walker, who was basically going to rot at the end of the Georgetown bench for a couple of years before given a shot, Doherty was having a similar experience at Notre Dame.
I don't think you can replace the sheer rebounding efficiency that CL give you, but on the plus side, Doherty seems to be able to find the basket with more efficiency, down low in a crowd, so there could be a trade off.

I would disagree with Walker rotting on bench at Georgetown. From what I was told by a couple of Georgetown people I know, though he didn't play a lot as a frosh, they had high hopes for him to be a good player. It was thought he could contribute even in his soph year. His problems were not on the court and lack of playing time that led to his transfer.

Same. Georgetown fans respected Walker and many were sad to hear he was leaving. I got no indication that fans thought he was going to rot on the bench, quite the contrary.

Hm OK. If I were Northeastern and I was going to add a mid-year transfer I’d have preferred Dana but that’s me.
I don’t think they can risk not getting either. I’m sure if Tate wanted to go to Northeastern they would find room for him also. I prefer Tate over Doherty for sure

One thing we can give a front line player is playing time right away. Thats for sure.
A center for sure. I like both Harris and Walker much better than Doherty. Hopefully we can get someone in 6-10 or taller range that can rebound, play defense and make the most of the offensive opportunities they get.

Disappointed - Am I missing something, but our bigs for next year are Harris, Walker and?????
I guess we will see who we ultimately get, but the big man pickings are pretty slim this time of year.
At the least, Doherty would have given us a respectable Richmond or Davidson type of center.
And our big men when we went to the tourney were? 6’6” Hassan Martin and Cyril. Don’t overate the need, Walker and Harris is a good combo. Need a third guy who can come in and rebound and play D.
Toppin is easily 6’8” and could still be growing. He will get stronger physically.
He had an NBA level blocked shot in the Richmond game - just an amazing play.
Toppin defends well, rebounds well, blocks shots. Between Harris, Walker and Toppin we have much to look forward to next season and this one as well.
Guard play is an opportunity particularly in shooting proficiency.
