None of the guys listed except the great Freddie Brown and maybe Govan Perry were top recruits. All the ACC schools + a few SEC schools regularly recruited the NYC Catholic league + Syracuse Louisville STJohns, even UCLA Stanford etc. I can remember coaches from all these programs come to our practices/games. My sense was also that for the big NJ schools our presence was also limited. Gtwn was pretty much absent.
Obviously Gtwn is in a great recruiting area--just think it will be interesting if Colley expand the reach a bit. I would think there would be good receptivity from the recruits.

Trying to beat Dickinson to the punch? Hard to imagine either guy would want to share minutes at the 5. Agree. Hard to know how the Dickinson rumored interest affects this decision. I'd have been bullish on Lampkin announcing for Gtown. But is he really going to announce to Gtown if there's a possibility he's the backup big playing 10-15 minutes a game. Seems highly doubtful. And in the reverse, if he does commit to Gtown, seems very unlikely we win the Dickinson sweepstakes. Tomorrow will be interesting. Sounds like Lampkin was told he's not the Hoyas #1 option. Highly doubt he's coming. Dickinson appears to be option 1,2 and 3 for Cooley at C at the moment. Let's hope we find the NIL bag we'll need.

Has there been more information on Lampkin? Any information on Dickinson since he hit the portal?

But here's Stockrisers guy basically telling a PC fan in this thread he's not going to Gtown.

Watching the tournament, it’s clear that experience and maturity matter. I’d like to start all upperclassmen next season. If we rely too heavily on freshmen recruits we’ll struggle.

Seems to me that a lot of Cooleys focus both at PC and rumored interest at Gtown is on 1st time transfers with multiple years of eligibility. Now, even moreso with the rumored crack down on 2nd transfers by NCAA, that seems like the right plan imo. Get guys who will be around for multiple years and can show the new guys each season the system.

Is anyone else nervous? Seems all too likely that Dickinson is gone to Maryland with the Mike Jones news. Did we screw ourselves with Lampkin if that’s the case? How much does Epps move the needle if he commits? Is there reason to be skeptical about Garwey committing as each day passes?
Obviously Cooley deserves time and benefit of the doubt. That goes without saying. But man there are a lot of holes to fill. Am I the only one feeling this way?

I am fine with that, and am not nervous about riding out the short term. We will have a representative squad to build upon.

Portal activity won't really pick up for another few days - dead period ends Wednesday I think - and we will have a sting of visits, commits and we'll get to see Coach build his thing. In the meantime, he is all over campus, probably driving his daughter crazy as she tries to enjoy spring of her senior year only to find him everywhere she goes. And he is around and about in the community too, getting oriented and making friends no doubt. Look at the signings last year - we were still hemorrhaging guys at this point and didn't sign anyone for another couple of weeks. Breath deep, fill up with relief. 1 2 3 Fireballs

Reminder that this is the account that had both Brey and Pitino going to Georgetown in the last month …

We will have some clarity perhaps this weekend but there are still people putting their names in the portal and some major players who have no lists at all so we have no idea of targets. Plus we have no idea which players Ed Cooley may have recruited hard at Providence who are in that portal already that he might have an inside track on.

Apparently the Fairfield account is one Ed Cooley follows.
