A Fab 5 type of deal. Friends wanting to play together?We were in his original Top 7 before he committed to DePaul last month.
Since then, two of his AAU teammates, Jaylen Ross and Solomon Ball have committed to UConn. We definitely have a decent shot of landing him IMO
#1 and #2 picks in the 2023 NBA Draft - Rahsool Diggins and Tafara GapareThe Frank Martin effect.
Why? What did he ever do at South Carolina except that 1 year where he had 2 very good players?If he ends up at UMass, a big if, that will certainly turn some heads
If anyone can recruit at UMass, Frank Martin can
Without knowing anything, that tells me everything I need to knowWhat a bizarre recruitment. Top 50 by 247 and it comes down to Depaul and UMass.
Matt Cross just got the waiver. Interesting roster that Martin has cobbled together..Great long-term spot, but especially as a reclass, I don't see him getting a lot of minutes.
BC transfer Gianni Thompson is my pick to start at the 4 for UMass. Captain quality work ethic, three-level scoring ability, athleticism and can defend multiple positions at 6'8 205 with length.
The Tre Mitchell experiment left me sour, but I'm very intrigued with UMass after the Frank Martin hire. He's one of my favorite coaches so I'll definitely want to catch a few of their games on TV.
Did Matt Cross get a waiver to play yet?
That’s actually true. In his last ten years Martin made the Final Four but that was the ONLY NCAA Tournament team he had. And in the last decade his teams only made the postseason twice - 1 NIT and 1 NCAA.Why? What did he ever do at South Carolina except that 1 year where he had 2 very good players?
I only learned about that pretty recently. How is it that everyone knows these things but me? Lol!Is his mom banging a UMass assistant like Tre Mitchell’s was? Bizarre
I’m not too close to his recruiting, but I feel like there are major red flags if a top 50, 4 star recruit is picking between George Washington, DePaul, and UMass.This feels like we avoided a headache. For some reason satisfied with this.
You need to spend even more time on the Boneyard. LolI only learned about that pretty recently. How is it that everyone knows these things but me? Lol!
