Recruit Lists v2.0

To be honest, Fred will go with his own assessment. His 4* may be a rivals 3* or vice versa. Signed Melvin Ejim.

Or, maybe if Melvin were in high school (or prep school, whatever) today, we wouldn't even be recruiting him...

You don't take a commitment from him before you know what Diallo, Ellenson, Ahmad, and Illikainen plan to do.

Understand your point, except for Illikainen. Don't think we're recruiting him now.

I can basically guarantee that we wouldn't. He wasn't highly coveted.

Disagree, Miller is a stretch 4 and is known for his face-up posting ability. Great fit for hoiball. I bet the staff will take a further look at him.

Did more reading up on Miller and it sounds like he can make the three and does have the capability to shoot it from all over the floor in a 6'9" body. Does sound like a guy the staff would be interested in, regardless of 3 stars.

In some of those same articles it mentions us with 2016 guys like VJ King, Amir Coffey, and AJ Turner. Any of the three would be a great get. Man, I hope we're still watching Hoiball come 2016.

AJ Turner is class of 2015.

VJ King isn't happening.

VJ King isn't happening.

Not denying you know, but what makes you say that?

He knows we have no chance, but the staff continues to recruit him? Makes perfect sense to me.

He'll go to Ohio State. Book it.

Looks as though Malou will be going to College of Southern Idaho next year. I was hoping he would stay local.

Well, no one realizes that there is a difference between the two states, so...

AJ Turner picked up a MSU offer and is visiting East Lansing this weekend. Eric Davis picked up a Michigan offer.

Does Mann recruit anywhere else besides Michigan? Other than Monte, haven't had much success there and I don't see that changing with two powerhouse programs in the state.

book what?

 

[ISUCY23]

It.

He hasn't had a great deal of success outside of Morris (although he's a great one), but much of that is because of our philosophy, which obviously comes from the top.

Recruit a select group of high end HS talent, and then fill in with jucos and transfers.

To be honest there are always outliers, but on average the 4 and 5 star players usually turn out to be a lot better.

Generally this is true, but we've had success with 3 stars, Ejim being the obvious. Others include Babb, Kane, Naz, and going back to a guy like Stinson
