Recruiting Tidbits from Amore Article

i hope this is bad info, these dudes are underwhelming. Not sure on Golden, haven't seen enough. But the HS guards here, no thanks. I think this staff can be a bit picky because they know they are going to do great in 2019 class.

A couple of those chairs would only average 1 or 2 less rebounds per game than our last few Centers.

Ya think?

That league is not bad at all. Saw a kid we know play against UCF from that league and they had a guard better than any of UCF's guards (Taylor didn't play but I really dislike his pound it forever and not look much for others game). 17 ppg in that league means he can play.

Also, his dad was a recruit I really wanted a Looooong time ago, James Scott, who ended up at St. John's! Back in the Felipe Lopez and Zendon Hamilton glory years lol!

Would love to see a grad transfer that can score at the 2 or a smaller 3, a reclassification of a 4-star type talent or better and a transfer like Washington from Minn. That would be a home run to me.

Wow, that's a blast from the past. His dad had a ton of skill, but it did not always translate so well.

I really trust Hurley's ability to gauge talent as he has had to find players at both Wagner and to a lesser extent, URI, to rebuild those teams. I really do not think we are just going to just "fill" a roster without some purpose. I'd like a grad transfer and then an HS guard or wing. Bank the rest and let our improved recruiters (in theory) do work.

Wouldn’t surprise me if a guy like Isaiah Washington came back closer to home with a coach he trust... Kimani

Sterling seems very connected UConn. With his NJ and Seton Hall history, he has to know Dan Hurley. He is probably too young, but maybe he takes a job here if KFree moves on.

I'd say RJ Evans is way more likely to come here as an assistant coach in the nearish future. Been a GA under Shaka Smart and Rick Pitino, and a legit assistant at Louisville this past season. Plus, Sterling will have a bunch of years of pro ball should he want it.
