One of his coaches son's was a walk on at Syracuse. Not saying they are pushing but Syracuse and City Rocks have in the past had a close relationship.
 
Say what you want, but I only want kids that can shoot. A bad jumper costs you in the long run. Get the guys with a stroke. We have two on the board that can shoot. Give me one of them.

I generally agree, especially with how much more important shooting is in today’s game. But there are exceptions, and I think Jackson is one.

with the 3 pt line moving back this year shooters are more important than ever

And if you surround Jackson with shooters the extra space means bigger lanes for him to drive

then how about someone who can both drive and shoot, like thomas and richmond?

Those 2 things are not mutually exclusive, we'll be bringing in multiple recruits

they are pretty much mutually exclusive skills for jackson arent they? he can drive not shoot. ideally all the perimeter players can both drive and shoot. i'm not saying i don't like jackson, at all, i hope he commits. i'm just talking up richmond in the unfortunate event jackson goes elsewhere.

I'm saying it's possible to have Jackson commit here and still get Thomas or Richmond. They'd complement each other well

Lol. Who are all these Syracuse wings? Carmelo...
Something changed here, the locals are feeding him some serious nonsense and he seems to be eating it up now.

Don't forget Red Bruin.

The new Rivals 150 is out. Andre has fallen another 12 spots.
He's dropping like a rock.

richmond is up to a 4* and #101 in the 247 composite

i hope staff takes the first 2 to commit between thomas, richmond, and jackson. they are the only wing options left and if staff waits all winter for cam and misses they could very well miss the boat with richmond or jackson too

richmond, jackson, and cardwell woulda been good for the 32nd ranked class last year. take it and run!

I know it’s not over but this recruiting cycle has been so depressing. With the big east move I was hoping we would capitalize. 4 subpar years in a row really taking a toll.

Lol what? We've been on the final lists for basically every top target and seem to be in a good spot with a lot of them.

This fanbase deserves their misery sometimes

I think he’s referring to our lack of participation in March Madness the last few years. Plus, who will be the first recruit as excited about the Big East as we are?

"I know it’s not over but this recruiting cycle has been so depressing." Definitely talking about recruiting

And the first recruit as excited about the Big East is Cliff when he started answering the phone again

At the end of the day, this is likely a 3 member class.

yeah thats what i was saying. 2 wings + cardwell = 3

my point was to take the first 2 wings willing to commit. without anymore backup options we cant wait on cam at the risk of losing either jackson or kadary. we need 2 of those 3 wings and a center.

I understand where you are coming from. The move to the Big East got announced and Hurley and every national talking head said that this would help us recruit. We got connected with some good players and had some momentum, but it does seem as if things have stalled lately. Our last two visits were unofficials that we are long shots on. We have lost momentum with Andre it appears, and other players like Cam Thomas and Geronimo have gotten crystal balls for other schools or committed elsewhere.

The two players we have been linked with the most are ranked 101 and 165. While I think Richmond and Cardwell are intriguing, I was hoping for bigger fish.

That said, it is still very early and things can change, but we are not getting talked about nationally in recruiting as I thought we would.
