His list is all large state schools plus Georgetown and Seton Hall. I don't think that bodes well for us. When is anyone's list any different? I've never seen a Georgetown-Villanova-Gonzaga-DePaul list. 40% of this player's visits are to private schools. That's a lot higher percentage than the number of private schools out there in major conferences.

I've never seen a Georgetown-Villanova-Gonzaga-DePaul list. 40% of this player's visits are to private schools. That's a lot higher percentage than the number of private schools out there in major conferences. His list is Georgetown, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Florida, Maryland and Seton Hall . Seton Hall is clearly a "safety" or "immediate playing time" option. So that puts Georgetown with only large state schools which won't challenge him academically and have other advantages. Yes, Georgetown stands out, but why so much interest in those other types of schools and nothing comparable to Georgetown? Looking at this list and not knowing anything else, I'd say our best chance (other than normal recruiting stuff like relationship with coach, etc.) is that he might want to stay close to here and chooses us over Maryland. Doesn't really matter. We'll see soon enough.

Dhall. I honestly don't think players taking into account things like private vs. public that much. They're just looking at schools that are good at basketball. That's all the matters. The fact that we're a private good school doesn't factor in with recruits all that much.

The fact that we're a private good school doesn't factor in with recruits all that much. Some kids would love to live in a basketball/football athletes' dorm of a 20000+ student university in a college town and take garbage classes for 4 years. Can't do that at Georgetown, but they can do it at those other places. That's all I'm saying.

Sure, but I don't think you can look at the school list of guy who is a few months in the country and just really being recruited as all that indicative that that is the exact reason he's selecting those schools.
These are the teams who are good and have recruited him heavy, I think.

These are the teams who are good and have recruited him heavy, I think. Definitely, and I don't blame him at all for having any of those schools on the list. If you look at our roster, almost all of the kids went to high school or grew up within 20 miles of Georgetown(Monroe and Hollis being the big exceptions). Staying close to home is a huge selling point for a lot of people and I'm hoping that Moses would like to stick around the area and people he has gotten to know in his short time in the country rather than pack it up for a totally new place that is not nearly as cosmopolitan, etc. That's why I'm most worried about Maryland, but hopefully he'll see that Gary is a jerk!

from what I see in this recruitment , his AAU coach/guardian seems to be loving the attention - but is a local and is aware of GU's tradition and JTII ect (even plugging in Moses good friend from Nigeria as the 2nd coming of M.A - although he has yet to land in the US) .. and if I'm not mistaken , Markels brother is the coach at his current H.S.(I may have that info mixed up .. but I think I'm on point) .. with that said , I think we're in a good position as long as JTIII and JTII stay active on him and continue to show "we're here to take care of him and help develope him as well as ready him for the next level" .. our staff seems to have approached this recruitment in a "ALL OUT" fashion .. even Ronnie is involved. I feel confident that we'll seal the deal. On a side note .. I know Bruce Pearl and an Assistant coach were in the area to watch Selby play this week , I'm sure he found some time to go see Moses. If coach Cal gets more involved I'd be more concerned about him then MD.. I think its between GU and Tenn right now and we'll prevail hopefully. A verbal from his good friend and teammate has to help as well ... they seem to like playing together.. guess we'll have to wait and see.
Also .. Rakeem is suppose to be visiting OkLa. this weekend I believe FWIW.

Jerry Meyer of Rivals was on local radio in TN this morning and gave a prediction that Moses would come to the [Mountain]top at 37th and O. Take it for what it is worth from Meyer, but he does have good sources in TN.

I noticed that the recruiting services don't have Abraham ranked in the top 100 prospects for 2010. Is this because he is new to the country? If so, where does he rank amoung other big men in his class?

He seems to be one of the top available big men, but he obviously hasn't played as much here against as much competition, so I imagine most evaluations are less reliable.

He's not in the top 100 because Jerry Meyers of Rivals thinks he's coming to Georgetown. If he had said Duke, Moses would be top 10.

His list is all large state schools plus Georgetown and Seton Hall. I don't think that bodes well for us. Good grief. Perhaps that's because most non-large state schools are not considered to be "big time". I can't say where the heck Moses will end up but I don't think Gtown is hurt by not being a large state school. Wouldn't be the first time the Hoyas lost a recruit because of those reasons. At the same time Gtown has won plenty of recruiting battles for big time talents even when competing against mostly big state schools. So I find it curious you would come to a conclusion that Gtown's chances aren't so good because of the other schools on Moses' list.

Moses, time to come home to the Promised Land! Enough drunk kids pulled a fire alarm during my tenure in New South. Can't imagine what they'll do if they see an actual burning bush

Villanova is pulling recruits like crazy and they don't have a great football program.

He said that in reference to the other kid he's bring over, Echebo. Not Moses. Also, at this point I'm not taking much of what Joe Boncore says too seriously.

Yeah, that was a different advisor about Maurice Walker.
