reminds me of the Christie Brothers (Max and Cameron)

At the same time, and a completely different players comp, but Jack Clark at VCU with some more on ball skills?

Wonder if the staff will try to stick around in that recruitment anyway since they aren’t really looking at any other PGs so far?

Could see Rippey Jr staying instate with Duke.

Maybe it speaks to the situation of a new staff but seems like we are catching up a little.

None of our offers are to identified sleepers yet. Luca, Junior, Blanco, etc. are all well known established top 75 kids with top power 5 programs making them a priorty.

I’m curious if Odom and staff’s two phase recruiting approach will look like Tony and some other coaches have (not necessarily plan A and plan B but moreso kids identified early and later as opposed)

Im also interested to see where Odom’s first stop during the scholastic period is going to be. Since there are one million scholastic events spread out around the country, we will get to see who the actual priorities are for Odom (obvious guess is wherever Latrell Allmond or Jordan Smith Jr are, although it would be interesting to see Odom in Houston day 1 for Christian Gibson). And if he will only spend time watching kids with offers are taking a lot at kids they are still evaluating (like Dreylan Creasy or that 6ft mid Major recruitment pg who is leading Adidas in scoring)

It’s so obvious Latrell Allmond’s top 5 are going to be:

NC State (Adidas)
Kansas (Adidas)
Louisville (Adidas)
Indiana (Adidas)
and either UVA or UNC

If he’s that tied into Adidas, we shouldn’t even bother. Either should UNC.

Morillo is a big combo guard from NYC, goes to prep school in Boston now. The old staff was looking at him last summer then he reclassified back a year to 2026.

“Old staff” still stings a little

Is 247 bad now? His page only shows mid major offers but in the last two months hes gotten Creighton Marquette and Illinois offers amongst others

There’s no dependable website for tracking scholarship offers anymore. Verbal Commits used to be great but it’s gone downhill the last couple years. I just pull up the players’ social media now and search for which offers they’ve posted, visit pics etc.

Oh snap I’ve been curious about this guy. Guard/wing-sized but he’s got big man stats; 15 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 3.9 apg, a little over 5 FTA per game. Curious as to what he is positionally in college. A little reminiscent of Chris Mañon?
