Jahshire Hardnett (Committed to Fordham)

FWIW, freshman PG Johnnie Vassar just transferred out of Northwestern, opening up a scholarship. Could potentially be to make room for Hardnett.
 
So, what is holding up his decision? Midnight is coming quickly.

Looks like it's between Uconn, Georgerown, Wisconsin and Murray State.

That's not a current list. I'd be surprised if any of the four was his ultimate pick.
 
Ollie's pitch should be that we are a player away and you are the player. He should land someone who wants to actually make a tourney run.

But he's not that player. You sign someone like Hardnett in the hopes that he'll be a difference-maker as a junior or senior, not with the expectation that he'll be one as a freshman or sophomore. And if we do sign him, it makes it that much harder to get a guy like Gilbert or Gibbs - who can be actual, factual contributors right off the bat.

Anyway, it looks very much like he'll be going to either Penn State or Mississippi State, unless he u-turns back to Murray State at the last minute. Good luck to the kid.

We got a shot next season. We need a player now. If not this guy, then Smith. We need someone who can give us 15 minutes off the bench at point. Create a little offense. By the time Gibert arrives,
Brimah, Miller, DHam and Purvis could be gone.

Really. You mean like Bazz?

TSAM?

Bazz & TSam were rated significantly higher than Hardnett & Smith. Bazz was around 80th, TSam around 125 (and rarely played 15 mpg, by the way). Both Hardnett and Smith are 200ish or lower.

That's not to say that the rankings are bound to be 100% correct. But I'd be shocked if either of these guys came in and got significant PG minutes ahead of three guys (TSam, SamIIAm, Adams) who are more experienced and higher rated.

No team that plays Hardnett or Smith for 15 mpg as a freshman is going to compete for a title.

So, I can believe you or I can ask the coaches of Penn St, Memphis, Georgetown, UConn, Clemson,
Murray St., Mississippi St, California(have any major conferences been left out?), whether they think he can play 15 minutes a game for them. Hymmmmmm.... tough choice.

If Hardnett had a real offer from UConn (or any of those schools), he'd be committed by now. On top of that, he's not the type of player that needs to be pitched or persuaded to come play at UConn. I don't know what to say if you think 15 minutes of Hardnett is the key to title #5.

There are still two scholarships to fill. Having a good ball-handler and passer as a reserve is good insurance against some of the higher rated players not playing up to expectations, gives flexibility for matchups (i.e. against a pressing team) and God forbid injury. I would love to see Sterling come here but most of the other higher rated options have already committed elsewhere.

How long have you been watching college sports? Very few players are expected to play 10+ minutes right off the bat - look at Kentan, TSam, etc. And the ones who are tend to be top 50 recruits.

My gut tells me he's going to Murray State. I'm not saying I don't want him, but losing out wouldn't be a huge loss for us. Jalen Adams is our next PG. And playing along side next to him will hopefully be Bruce Brown/Jaylen Brown/Alterique Gilbert. I'd rather have all these guys than Hardnett. Best of luck to him wherever he goes though.
 
This kid announce yet. Was scheduled for today.
