Boya, what would you say the chances of getting Hood are? I agree with you on the Ammons kid but I'd take the Robertson kid. A team can never have enough 6-10 kids with 35+ vertical leap and 7-6 wingspans in my opinion. If it were my choice I'd offer Bishop Daniels and Robertson tomorrow bringing in two freakish atheletes would improve practice at least.. LOL!! I'm serious though, we've seen the "hold scholarship for next year" game play out a lot lately and it hasn't worked out well.. Odds of getting Hood are no better than 20% at this point, IMO. Hope I'm wrong. I'd take Robertson but would think long and hard about taking Daniels. Just don't see the immediate need at that position for a short guy who's an athlete but is weak at the basic guard skills (handling/shooting). He narrowed his list to 5 so mathematically you're right. However since I believe Kirby was his recruiter at Mississippi st. I would think that that bumps up our chances and lowers theirs, in the same way losing cox hurt us. GT, FSU, marq, and miss st. are our competition. A bunch of good recruiters so yeah it will be tough. |

O'Bryant, Hood and Robertson seem good on paper. Honestly we need at least 1 solid big from this class. Otherwise, we may have enough guards and swing men to make it to 2012.
Guards: Clark, Sanford, Starks
Swing: Benimon, Thompson, Bowen, Sims
Bigs: Lubick, Moses
In all seriousness though, looking at this roster, this year may be our last chance to make something happen for quite some time.

Not sure I agree with the characterization of Benimon or Sims as "Swing" (would definitely put both in the Bigs category), but I agree with the assessment that we would be fine even if we don't get a guard or wing in the class of 2011. |

How much blame goes to the assistant coaches? I keep hearing about Kirby but where are the other guys that's been on staff. If you listen to us on here you would think Cox was the only one recruiting.I got a lot more I would say but I don't wanna get blocked!

It's still very early. Lets wait until Midnight Madness to have a better picture of where the recruiting stands. Remember Monroe's recrutiment? A class of JOB, Hood, and either a guard or another big would be an excellent class.

That's true! I'd take JOB, Hood, and Hopkins.

Trawick is a Hunter recruit, according to the article.

Why do I feel that if you put any of us on the recruiting trail we'd do a better job than our current assts.

This is part of the problem. Guys like Sims are not bigs even though they are 6'10. Bigs need to rebound and play strong inside defense. Who knows if Lubick or Moses will even be serviceable bigs in this sense of the word. Either way, we need to get some more tough 6'8+ guys over the next few years. |

Just don't see the immediate need at that position for a short guy who's an athlete but is weak at the basic guard skills (handling/shooting). See I say you take Daniels because he doesn't fill an immediate need and could be developed in the system for a year or so. I just want the roster to get much more athletic in the near future. |

Why do I feel that if you put any of us on the recruiting trail we'd do a better job than our current assts. Haha, I can't go that far but I do wonder what their strategy and plans are. The staff appears to be in major scramble mode after Johnson and Rak went elsewhere. I mean "offering" two 6-5 or so kids now when the squad has guards and forwards but desperately needs bigs for next season is very odd to me but what do I know except that I'll be rooting hard for the team regardless of who suits up for them. |

I mean a lot of the bigs in this class: O'Bryant, Chol, Hopkins all already have offers. There aren't an infinite supply of bigs out there. I agree we need to land at least 1 probably 2 for next year, but 2012 is a hug year for bigs: scouthoops.scout.com/2/990635.html |

2012 is widely considered the better of the two classes.

The same was said about 2011 vs. 2010 I believe as well. It appears that is an easy out when you miss on a lot of guys to say the next class is better.

I mean as far as bigs is concerned and in general. Not speaking in GU terms, but just look at the class of bigs in the two classes, especially at the top.

I just dont know if there's a need for another point at this point. For the 2011-12 season G’town will have JC, Starks and Vee as the primary ball handlers so you’re right Daniels probably wouldn’t get much run. However he would get a lot of practice time in the system and he should be ready to take on a bigger role in 2012-13 after JC graduates. He's reported to be a good on ball defender also. I just want to see the roster have a few dynamic type players on the squad.. Imagine this kid catching an alley-oop on a fastbreak or backdoor cut and flushing it on somone’s dome! We’d go nuts right? I said it ealier in the thread I’d take him and the Robertson kid today if they want to come here and the squad will have two scholarships left over for Hood and JOB A class of JOB, Hood, Daniels and Robertson would be very acceptable… |
