Former Knick pg Charlie Ward is the kids HS coach. Hoyas have a descent shot unless FSU gets involved.

I don’t know what his rank is now but based on that first post he is top 75 and is always subject to change but he is the kind of player we need, a 3-4 year player who is high quality and not a project that may not hit at all. That is how we get sustainability going and we seem to be in a good spot so i really hope we get him

Georgetown: "I talk to Robert Kirby and Patrick Ewing. I feel like it is a good school with good academics. I feel like it is a great place to play right away and produce."

"I feel good about my recruitment so far," says Martin. "I have a variety of coaches from schools contacting me so I feel it is coming along as the summer season is arriving."

A 6-foot-5 small forward out of Tallahassee (Fla.) Martin says he plans on visiting Florida, Georgetown, and Ole Miss.

Maybe he could be the one to replace Aminu after his second year at sg or sf because I’m optimistic like that lol

Quite the jump!

Gotta keep going on this guy as he seemed really interested and is way more than a fringe four star

Staff knows how to evaluate talent.

We are still listed as warm with Florida and Ole miss, unless anyone has heard anything else this seems to be a pretty quiet recruitment with no major words from the man for awhile so hopefully we haven’t faded as he can play sf well as many places have him listed as both

Seems like the clear top 3 are us, UF, and Ole Miss. Really need to close this one. A class of Martin, Anglin, and Watson is fantastic and let's us swing for the fences.

Definitely I like Martin a lot and i believe he is the kind of player that can build stability in the program by being that top 75 3-4 year player who is genuine contributor every year and i wonder what everyone’s timelines are like as far as the ones we know of rn like Livingston is oct 15 and Watson hasn’t decided yet (i think someone said he is just waiting for us to officially offer maybe idk it was awhile back so we are just being patient I can get that) nor has Martin and I am curious how the staff will try to align things to not come out empty handed but you don’t wanna hurt any chance with Livingston

This offer business is weird! When is an offer an offer? Does Watson have an offer or not. When can an offer be redeemed?

It is odd to hear that Watson is waiting for an offer. Verbal Commits (a website that tracks recruiting) claims he was offered back in June sometime. I would have to believe that if Georgetown is in his final 3, that the staff has offered him a scholarship already.

I will agree that this offer business and what a player can, and can not, commit to is confusing.

I think Watson is scheduled to officially visit us on 9/17...I haven't seen any scheduled visits yet for Martin, Aligbe, Dunn or Hamilton but they could be in the works...my guess is that we'll end up with a class of 2 or 3, most likely 3...my wish list, Livingston, Anglin and one of the above...

His first name starts with a, "J." He should be ours to lose, no?
