Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread
I'm going to ask a dumb question for my own edification.
I was reading a story about Michael Porter Jr. committing to Mizzou and this paragraph struck me:
"He’s 6’10” and lanky and 18 years old, with a lightning bolt shaved horizontally into the left side of his fade. He’s dating a former Disney Channel star and he talks on the phone with Steph Curry monthly."
I don't care about Disney Channel stars, but I got to wondering, is Steph allowed to maybe, you know, prod a McDonalds All-American or two our way, or does the NCAA prohibit such things?

Every breath Stephon Curry takes influences the entire world to want to be a better person, parent, husband and basketball star. Every high school baller in America knows that SC attended DC. Steph can not do any more to help our program, except getting his jersey honored in the rafters. Will happen, for sure. Well done, young lad.

Probably not. More likely two less distinguished applicants would be wait listed.an outstanding french horn player and applying to Davidson with the same academic profile as say a top basketball player, but both were below what I will call the "admission line", the music department would be short a french horn.

Theoretically, sure, these conversations happen all the time at programs with more alum even if they are in the grey area of the rules. But like said above, it's more his success and existence that influences the program. The reason they talk though is because Michael Porter played for Under Armour programs.nalotze wrote:I'm going to ask a dumb question for my own edification.

Can I take a crack at it?

Peyton
Magoo
HUGE MINUTES OFF THE BENCH (10-20 min
in no particular order):
Nate
Frampton
Rusty
Duca (if healthy of course)
Oskar
Some minutes
Watkins
Collins
Also time for a horribly pessimistic view of an optimistic outcome:
Davidson will be the third best team in the A10 next yr and make the tournament but largely because alot of the usual suspects are gonna have down years in the conference and we return just enough.

I really think we already have a number of candidates for "pleasant surprises in 2018":
JAG
Pritchett
Ekwu
Magarity
Kovacevic
What we need instead of two players combining for 40 - 50 points apiece would be three or four scoring consistently in double digits. Aldridge is going to draw a lot of defensive attention, so we need others to take advantage of the double teaming. What our "newbies" will give us initially is relief off the bench to avoid foul trouble and second-half exhaustion. If they can turn into starters that would be pure gravy.
