Re: Khalif Battle
How does it usually work? Is it rare for players to commit during the visit?

That's a great question - I've seen it happen, but I don't know how common it is.RhodyRams916 wrote: ↑1 year ago How does it usually work? Is it rare for players to commit during the visit?

Re: Khalif Battle
Isn't there usually some kind of "had an awesome visit with ____! #uncommitted " tweet first?

Re: Khalif Battle
Me, Stevey & smartybarret all heard news before vault posted anything about him also let’s be patient and not be concerned that there wasn’t anything on social media for four of our commitments last year (Lou, Rory, Foumena & Weston) didn’t post any pics about being at rhody during their visits until they actually committed, everyone be patient and to be totally honest I don’t think we’re getting him

I’m not saying Battle is the guy but Archie must start winning some recruiting battles over P5 schools.

I’d assume there’s other connections as well at other schools.RhodyRams916 wrote: ↑1 year agoDidn't RhodyVault say we had some sort of connection with him? That could help.
Will most likely get a bigger NIL deal elsewhere too.

Re: Khalif Battle
Why not? Hurley won many recruiting battles against P5 schools. Isn't that why we hired Archie Miller? Have some faith.

Where is the list of P5 schools?
Of course getting your name linked with good programs is half the battle.

Hurley almost always used to close a guy if they made it on campus for a visit. Let's hope Archie can do the same!

Could be the first piece in the rebuilding...
A bit concerned about his temperament though, hope it was exaggerated in the reports.

Re: Khalif Battle
Rhody Fan wishlist for 3.20.2023:
1. Battle commits
2. Lady Rams get the 2nd post season win in history
3. Cooley announces his move to Georgetown
4. Ish says, ah, f@ck it, I'm staying at Rhody
not asking for much here.

Re: Khalif Battle
Is it fair to say if Battle doesn't commit on campus we probably aren't getting him? I just think once he sees the fancy facilities at P5 schools URI will have no chance.

Re: Khalif Battle
I don't think I would look at it that way in Battle's case. Obviously you want to get a commitment when the player visits if you can, but Battle has been playing college hoops for 4 years already, he knows whats out there and what other schools can offer. It's different than when you have a high school kid just learning about all this stuff for the first time in my opinion.RhodyRams916 wrote: ↑1 year ago Is it fair to say if Battle doesn't commit on campus we probably aren't getting him?

Re: Khalif Battle
Unless something has changed recently my understanding is a player can't commit while they're on campus

Most portal players want get it over with quickly because they know how tedious being recruited can be after having gone through that before.
However some like to drag it out and like the attention.
Regardless we have to make a great impression today if we want a chance!

Well seems like this will be a drawn out thing if we do have a chance to get him
He's the first visit right?
