Was rumored to be a heavy lean to Md...but he's a DC kid and I would think we offer a better immediate opportunity for him...we could really use his talents this year, and with what Md. has returning and then coming the following year (Jalen Smith, the wing from NC), he would seem to have a better impact with us...

Any top 100 talent we can land at this point is great.

Beyond that? Who knows. Could a program like Georgetown use the scholarship slot it lost from Tremont Waters’ departure to lure Pickett, whose high school career was spent in Virginia? Sure feels possible. What about another A-10 program like VCU? Nope, their five available scholarships are all full, too (like Rhode Island, they added a late junior college forward). That’s what makes Pickett’s decision so interesting, and why it certainly wouldn’t be a shock if he ended up back in Oxford, anyway. There can’t be too many other places for him to go this late in the process. usatodayhss.com/2017/theres-suddenly-another-4-star-hoops-prospect-in-the-class-of-2017-available-and-no-one-has-any-idea-where-hes-headedPretty clear the writer doesn't know much about him

Players don't decommit this late in the game unless they have a good feel for where they are going. The visits are often times just window dressing.

That's mostly true, and he's likely headed to UMD, but most say he wasn't making it to Ole Miss regardless. It was an odd pick from the jump.... Some of the lateness has to do with them trying to keep him...

I have no intel on the kid. No clue where he's going. Just saying he knows, and whatever visits he takes is likely to keep things from looking suspicious. But I would love it if he ended up here.

Honestly, if we want anything to come of this season then I think we need to nab this kid. We are screaming for a scoring wing to come in.

Looking suspicious to whom 95? Everybody. Even though coaches know it goes on, it's hard to prove. Nobody wants to be accused of tampering. So this kid will take visits even though he probably knows where he's going. It happens with a lot of transfers. Feelers are put out and it's communicated that a ship is waiting for so and so. Same thing with stealing coaches under contract.

Same thing with stealing coaches under contract. I'm probably naive but I can't see why anyone would care.. It's not a surprise that a DMV kid changed his mind about going down south.. If Ole Miss & Maryland were in the same conference , that might raise eyebrows imo..

Mathew Horton 6'10 C... Played AAU ball with Ark Wings.
Not sure where to put this. I believe he still has a year left at JUCO but not positive...

The UMass kids just committed to Houston. We're not winning many bot these recruits over with current strategy. Time to shuffle the deck.

My understanding is that we only had one schollie available and they wanted to continue on as a package...I heard that we tried to get Jarreau to come individually but evidently their bond was too strong to permit that...

Not sure...Casual continues to say we have 2 for this year. His logic is that Malinowski doesn't take up a scholarship. I have no idea how that's true.
