Making a new thread since Portal recruiting ramping up/maybe had assumed we would be done by now instead of just really starting
Anthony DellâOrso from Campbell is on visit finishing up. 6â6 wing forward with 2 years left, @HoozGotNext mentioned he exclusively played the 4 for Campbell. Has already visited TCU and visits the Hokies next.
Elijah Saunders from San Diego St visits this weekend. 6â8 225 really good athlete and 32% from three on over 100 attempts. However the rebound/block rate isnât that impressive given how he is a good athlete and San Diego St fans are extremely bummed he is transferring out/was important to their future but also note how he needs to become more rugged and embrace the glue guy aspects he is capable of.
Trent Perry, 2024 pg/sg out of California, we are still awaiting a decision on. Realization of distance seems to be the hold up but otherwise good vibes but also concern (yes that doesnât make sense LOL)
Others of note:
Williford started following Ven Lubin who just announced to the portal today. 6â8 forward out of Vandy (and formerly Notre Dame) we recruited some out of HS. Has a do not contact tag but may still be actively engaging in a recruitment behind the scenes.
TJ Power: 6â8 shooting wing/forward out of Duke is someone we were heavily involved with out of HS and seems to be close to a decision. BC might be the hometown favorite with Wake Forest also involved. But staff also interacting with him on social media (likes and follows on top of probably zoom)
Chisom Okpara 6â8 forward out of Harvard with two years left: talked to him some during high school and some overlap with both Bliss and Dunn circle wise. Stanford rumored to be the early favorite/academics clearly important
I still really want Perry & Power. Though, I know that is a bit of a pipe dream. As a defensive program, prioritizing shooting will also be my preference.
but not getting caught up in 10000 posts on how kids fit until they actually come on board.
I think Ledlum is out of eligibility, though Pitino talked about trying to appeal for an additional year for the Ivy guys whose teams didnât play in 2020-21. Not sure if that really works though.
Iâd be concerned about why a great shooter canât get more attempts at the Ivy level?
Offensive efficiency is through the roof - making it seem he takes very few kinda good shotsâŚ
the current recruiting situation feels like those 1st halves Tony and staff love where weâve scored 3 points in 13 minutes, but we all know weâll somehow get to 20 by half itâs just not clear how.
Yale was a fairly slow team, so Mahoneyâs possession-adjusted 3pt rate does work out to be around 10 3PA per 100 possessions (about where Jake Groves was this season). He is low-usage overall though.
