While facilities have taken a big step forward with the new building I do wonder if Belk doesn't hurt recruiting at a high level?

Top 10 team with you here, gonzaga of the south. Enter: Blue chips movie for the on court sell move. Or Happys Lexus gift. Cmon everybody does it.

Hunter Tyson has to be a focus. He's in our backyard.

Other recruits that are west coast or northeast, tougher, but we're making great strides to converting. With Northeastern, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, I am always nervous given these programs are rising and our admissions standards sometimes prevents us from getting the best player.

There is no publicly available information linking us and Jairus Hamilton other than the not too reliable ESPN recruiting page and some mentions on this board in late 2015, so I would give up on that dream.

Hunter Tyson is someone we have pursued consistently and I'm sure we would love to have and we will continue to work for.

Color me curious (still white, not yellow) - what is "Happys Lexus gift"?

Some of you are dating yourselves as "too young" to have seen one of the best movies of all time. BLUE CHIPS

If you have seen the movie BASEKETBALL, also another classic, there is a reference to "everyone knows Shaq got rich in college". For those of you who are still in college and have not seen this movie, I suggest you stop what you are doing and spend 2 hours this weekend refreshing on one of Nick Nolte's best acting performances of all time.

But yea Jairus is in our back yard and hes smart - why is it so hard to say dude we could be epic with you at SF. We will build a powerhouse around you, and you will take real classes, not fake ones at UNC.

I think a healthier mindset to take towards recruiting is rooting for the kids where there is known public interest. I'm sure we could (and quite possibly did) make a compelling pitch to Jairus, but if he's been interviewed a hundred times in the last year about his college choices and talked about why he likes UNC, Kansas and Duke in every one, but hasn't even mentioned the name Davidson (except for maybe once two years ago), then he is probably looking for something else.

New name, Addison Lubert, 2017 pf/C from Chicago: http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/a ... story.html

Now, Lubert is being recruited by the likes of Wichita State, Washington State and Davidson.

Another strange, slowed-down game for Luke Frampton and the Poca Dots:

Frampton scored 14 of his team's 21 (!) points in the win.

If we don't give out the remaining scholarship, does it roll forward to 2018? In 2018 we have 5-6 spots available correct? 2018 will be a big year.

As long as the total doesn't go above 13, it doesn't matter when they are allocated, as far as I know.

Luke Frampton scored 37 in a win tonight, while Kellan Grady and NMH won in the state semifinals before taking on a loaded Brewster team tomorrow at 6, which I believe will be streamed here: https://portal.stretchinternet.com/nepsac/

We already have six spots to fill for '18-'19.

Peyton
Nate
Will
Oskar
Jordy
Rusty

I'd rather us not get a transfer in this year's class and have 7 new faces in '18.

It is probably likely that one or more of those is held for '19-20 when we have no available schollies.
