Interesting. Grant Williams is on my torturous recruiting list of "what ifs." He reminds me of our own D Brooks, a rugged, skilled, largely interior player despite his size. Reportedly, he is also an excellent student-- I think his mother is a professor-- and is from Charlotte. Imagine these two loc...

Max sounds like an intriguing recruit, but I am not going to even start considering him until we have some evidence that our staff is recruiting him. Certainly, his profile would seem to be ideal at DC.

While we may see the 4-guard lineup next year, assuming Nathan and Dusan are healthy, I like the option of also going big as necessary. We should have 4-5 bigs who can be rotated at the 4 and 5.

It really is a good senior class. We have a big game Friday, but I hope that JW gets more than a token appearance. His career did not evolve the way many anticipated. I really thought he would be a consistent 5-8 pt per game scorer off the bench.

The Spring signing period does not begin until April 11. We may not know Luka's college choice until then. I know that we are anxious to know his decision, but I am assuming it is 6 weeks or more away. If we find out sooner, then I will count it, hopefully, as a nice surprise.

BDL, with no juniors on the team I like the idea of Nathan returning and only awarding four scholarships for 2018-19 recruiting class. This would reserve two scholarships for 2019-20 (who knows, maybe Greer and Burns).

Always curious why this formal announcement of men's basketball early period signings always lags so far behind that for the women's program.

The history of SA as I understand it. He is an international student who came to the U.S. Went to Evansville and redshirted his 1st year for further development and adjustment to US game. Coach left Evansville. SA enrolled in JC. To me, this explains why he is a relative unknown.

Several posters have commented on the need for bigs who are mobile and can shoot. I like the little video available of SA. He is strong and seems to have a good mid-range jump shot. I also like what I saw of his post moves. From my understanding, we are still in the process of cultivating a relation...

I know that folks are anxious for recruiting news. I am assuming that since we are past the early signing period we may likely not receive recruiting news until the late signing period in April. If we have not identified transfer candidates already, i.e., those who sought a new school by the spring ...

Yes, I think it is less of an issue of needing purer point guard material and more of needing floor experience for SO and FY guards who are in the process of figuring it out.

No, the later announcement has always been peculiar to men's basketball. The women's team's signing have already been announced, which is typical for them. I think it is more about men' basketball than anything ED related. Glass half full--we are simply waiting on Luka's decision so class can be ann...

I think that Vandy will sign at least three this year and could sign four. It is definitely looking for one 4/5. I am not sure if Riley is a top priority for Vandy, but I believe he still has a visit scheduled for October 20. The last update has him visiting his four finalists, in this order: Davids...
