Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Can't decide how many we should take in 2018? With no one graduating in 2019, we need to leave a few for this time period.

The movie The Bed Sitting Room listed its cast members in order of height, from Ralph Richardson down to Dudley Moore, as I recall. I would suggest that pattern as priority for future offers, multi-talented though Moore may have been.

My take is we need at least 2 bigs ASAP. If 3 bigs on our list want to come I think we take all 3. If Tyson wants one a scholly is his. If he goes elsewhere we may use one on another wing. Plus, with 6 to give we could look for an attractive transfer after next season. So, we use at least 4 this year, maybe 5. If we're very lucky six guys who are so good that the staff can't say "no" to any of them will all want to come to DC.

Q- Bates was offered a ride by some DI schools. Is there some sort of understanding that he may/will get a scholarship in the future?

Agreed. We really need Battin and Tyson. They're polished, well experienced recruits at need positions. We offer them a great teacher, staff, education, student body and a chance to win a10/ get NCAA and pro experience

I would love to get a 3 and 4, and Tyson and Riley would be great additions to the team and to the college. I hope that we sign 5 this year, adding a 5th who is a consistent rim-protector, a real defensive and rebounding presence. I see Riley more as a true 4.

We graduate 6 guys this year. We'll sign a large and talented class.

It seems like we are the frontrunners for Luka (fingers crossed). Hopefully from there we can land both Tyson and Battin but realistically 1/2 would be amazing. we should try to land another big after that no matter what. Then for 2019 we would have 1 or 0 schollies left but someone may transfer (basically you never know what may happen).

DCz, MJ, Luka, Battin, and Tyson would be an absolutely phenomenal class. Fingers crossed.

Anyone have the time/knowledge to update this? Last update I could find was from October.

The Kool-Aid list reflects publicly available sources, typically internet recruiting sites (e.g., Rivals.com, Verbalcommits.com, Twitter, etc.), and published reports. News of offers and commitments must be publicly sourced. The list is maintained for entertainment purposes only. It contains no information received from coaches or recruits. waitress takes full responsibility for any omissions, typos, or other errors.

Back-of-the-envelope scholarship count: Davidson gets thirteen scholarships. For the 2016-2017 season, Davidson presumably has 12 of 13 scholarships used by: Perkey, McAuliffe, Gibbs ('17); Aldridge, Ekwu, Magarity(RS), Michelson, Reigel, & Watkins ('18 ); Gudmundsson, Kovacevic(RS), & Pritchett(RS) ('20).

Clearly we have a lot invested in landing Battin, as emphasized by the above quote, while a Vanderbilt website wrote this the other day: https://www.anchorofgold.com/2017/8/14/ ... heir-lists

Inside, there are currently a bunch of bodies with Clevon Brown, Djery Baptiste, Ejike Obinna, and Yanni Wetzell, but Simi Shittu is an obvious take regardless of the roster situation. Battin would be another body up front if Vanderbilt feels the need to take another big man.

Hopefully he realizes how much he is wanted and how well he would fit in our program.

I made some edits to the above two posts. Nothing that the two of you did, but thought it would be better not posting all the quotes as they could be harmful.
