We think there may be more gold in the Northfield Mount Hermon mine.

Edited to reflect pm spell check.

Looks like he wouldn’t mind joining him.

If this is based on the fact that Davidson is not in the B1G or ACC and the other 6 finalists are, I would look at it this way, it is one of them or Davidson.

To (sort of) paraphrase Captain Beefheart, if you want to be a different fish, you have to go to a different school.
Just based on fact
Unfortunately, this appears to be correct.

It's tantalizing to think about the impact of potential recruits, but the process is often dismaying, when it really should not be. We are inevitably pleased with the recruits who select Davidson. I am tempted to call for a moratorium on recruit profiling, perhaps unless the recruit has actually visited Davidson.

No top 4 for Beran

Post by 1992CAT » Thu Sep 20, 2018 1:42 pm

Just saw this forum even existed when I Googled Robbie beran today. Been tracking Beran's recruiting as a Richmond resident and thought we had a chance.

Stinks didn't make the top four.

I don't think it is really sour grapes to suggest that if a player's priorities are such that Davidson is not in the running until the final cut, that he probably wasn't a good fit for our program.

If a kid is not interested in Davidson, it's better he tells us right away, rather than make us expend time and money on a futile exercise.

One of our assistants saw the eldest Plumlee brother at a summer camp many years and introduced himself. The kid said, "I know all about Davidson and it's a great school. But I can't go there because I'm majoring in Engineering. My brothers are, too."

I've never checked if any of the brothers graduated with Engineering degrees.

While that would be nice, I don't blame any of these young men for taking their time and choosing what they feel is the best fit for them. I will happily support the kids who end up becoming Wildcats with no regrets.
