we might have a championship level frontcourt come march depending on what we get from aj, akok, springs, and samson. have a pretty good idea of what to expect from martin, polley, whaley, and sanogo.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Awesome, but still patient and keeping expectations tempered for 21-22.

Good stuff thanks for posting. Imagine he’s jumped ahead of Diggins and Hawkins good for him, better for us as fans. We have a kid who knows what it takes and sounds like he works hard. Certainly is a great athlete.

 

[ZenConn]

Still a freshman in the fall. We'll gauge when we're playing good teams.

I don’t watch a lot of hs bball, but I’m surprised Hawkins isn’t top 40 from what I’ve seen

Thanks for the alternate read!

Here's one of the alley-oops dunks mentioned in the article. Considering they haven't really met each other before this game, things are looking bright.

I agree,from watching Hawkins on film he looks like a very polished player.

Go Samson !

 

[Chief00]

The one thing Chief would like to add is the work ethic of the St Patrick School guys (Adama and Samson). Their work ethic, serious approach to the game and preparation is off the charts. A tribute to them and their coaching. You can see how someone who truly does the work can rapidly improve. Adama’s Bigs footwork was off the charts this season.

Nice article by Dave Borges. This is a great recruiting class!

Nice article by Dave Borges. This is a great recruiting class!

if we get Clingan next year could be even better. im super hyped for CFJ

 

[dennismenace]

And............we have now added Luke Murray to the recruiting staff.

[Waquoit]

Three recruits coming in ranked in the Top 57. How often have we had our 3rd recruit in a class ranked that high? Too bad for Dan Hurley of the metric shifts that ranks recruiting behind playing the portal and keeping the S&C coach's wife happy.

Speaking of NC BBQ, Mac's on South Blvd used to be pretty good.

 

[Chief00]

Chief’s got a lot of family stuff going on in May (graduations, weddings, birthdays), but after that Chief plans to hit the circuit again. Planning to see some 2022 targets and heading to DMV. 😉

 

[Chief00]

Plenty of fans can see him play in person, so Chief is staying out of local story.
