MBB recruits 2017
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Why is JM and staff so hush hush? Previous coaches were more open.
Re: MBB recruits 2017
DCDUTCH, they might not be hush hush, might just not be anything to report on.

Re: MBB recruits 2017
They also aren't allowed to mention any recruits names until they sign.
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Been on vacation so have not posted anything lately. Very quite out there.
Lots of good 4s and 5s out there on the transfer sheets. Most that would have to sit out a year - but that's fine, If we can grab a big and have him ready to go after RG and HS leave.....
The number of transferring 4s that can play next year is not that long of a list. Of course that does not include anyone from the JC roles. I believe that the staff is working hard on landing an impact 4, but in the end, its only the delivery of that impact 4 that matters. If we pick up an impact 4 and maybe another combo 2/3, I think we will be set for next year.
As was mentioned by another poster, I will be very disappointed is Pemba does not average 15+ next year. Combine that with JWF at around 20 ppg and that's a real nice 1-2 punch.

Re: MBB recruits 2017

Agree 100% Polito...Polito wrote:This staff is on the hook to land an IMPACT 4 for THIS SEASON.

Re: MBB recruits 2017
And time is ticking as the impact 4's we desperately seek, are starting to sign elsewhere.

Re: MBB recruits 2017
There are 507 players transferring. Who on that list is the best fit for us.End of the signing period is 5/17. its 23 days and counting. Still plenty of time.
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Stu is correct, plenty of good players out there and based on last year there will be another 200 plus additional transfers out thre before all is said and done this season.
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Transfer season has really become a major thing lol - unbelievable how many kids are involved nowadays. And good point HUSID, many still waiting to see who heads toward the draft, some jobs are still open, some changes are still to come.
I'm not going to go nuts about it anymore, too much energy lol - staff knows what they must do, there is still time and there is still available talent.
Get the job done, or fail the class and program. Pretty straightforward to me.

Re: MBB recruits 2017
agree Polito. Somehow Hofstra has to create an atmosphere or persona where athletes want to come to play. JM does not have a dynamic personality which does not help in recruiting although his staff may have that personality. He may be a good coach but HS athletes or transfers hear the same pitch from all the recruiters so first impressions or track records are important.Polito wrote:Transfer season has really become a major thing lol - unbelievable how many kids are involved nowadays.

Coaches must be able to sell themselves as well as the school, facilities, campus, and location.
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Tick-toc...Tick-toc....JAM and staff are on the clock...we can not recruit another Ty Greer for the 4
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Bob, you know him personally? The man has more energy than most people half his age and he knows how to recruit... have you seen the work they put in to each recruit's visit? they develop a personal development plan for each kid who visits and not just basketball...this stuff is garbage...bobe13 wrote:agree Polito.

Re: MBB recruits 2017
HUSID80...are you JAM's agent...LOL
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Never said he doesn't work hard. I have seen him enough on sidelines and in many interviews to determine he does not have a charismatic personality. When you are in sales which recruiting is and which I have had a 40+ year successful career in no one cares if you work hard but do not close the deals.HUSID80 wrote:Bob, you know him personally?

Re: MBB recruits 2017
Sorry guys...Jahlil Tripp to Pacific
Re: MBB recruits 2017
However this may point Osbel Caraballo our way since Pacific had offered him as well.
Something will break soon and I believe roster spots will open up too. Just a feeling.

Re: MBB recruits 2017
Bob didn't say that. He knows the business and has been successful as a D 1 coach for about 20 years. He knows how to recruit, believe me.
Re: MBB recruits 2017
Still no official announcement on Jalen Ray ????
