reported bb commit for today

[LC-88]

Well we needed to sign somebody.

Sorry BAC but I got a good laugh out of your opening line. Sadly you summarized our current recruiting situation. Hope it all works out for all parties.

Shields -- that's 4 players over 40+ years. For every Battle there have been 10 Justin Goodes and 10 Justin Sofmans.

we should have learned a lesson--don't recruit anyone with the first name of Justin!

 

[MGSA99]

Be thankful SOMEONE wants to play for us.

The reality is it is tough to have confidence in Jordan's ability to identify talent.

1. Game reinforces how important having a shot blocker is. Dribble penetrations were inexcusable, but they happen and were amplified when Lewis wasn't in middle

2. Sanders just isn't effective when playing with Daniels. Not necesarily a knock on Daniels..just an observation. Sanders didn't touch it enough and when he did he was looking to score.

3. Grier and Goode just don't have enough defensive ability. When Grier isn't knocking down shots he isn't effective

4. I'd think Laurent Freeman Diallo and Johnson in this game it is a totally different game and different team.

We definitely need 6'4'' guards or wings

Welcome, Jahlil! Good luck here on the banks!

Laurent played vs Indiana and it was a game. Goode can't play 25 minutes because he adds nothing. Like playing 4 on 5.

 

[Knights 1212]

Congrats to Jahlil. Hopefully he can be the first of several recruits and our team can begin to make serious progress.

 

[ScarletRunner]

Not surprising this is the kind of guy we're able to get at this point, but at least we're getting bodies. Hopefully he is able to add something on the court.

 

[Fzacsattac]

No need to knock the kid......Lets welcome him aboard.

We should just skip 2016 and save up for a monster class in '17 for our new coach :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[Local Shill]

Well now we can't fire Ed. Don't want to lose the recruiting class.

 

[SkilletHead2]

Hey guys, this is a "commit" thread. Could we lighten up on the personal attacks and incessant whining and moaning, and just welcome the young man to the University? We're going to have a basketball team next year, and perhaps he can make a real contribution to it.

Haven't seen this article posted. https://nychoops.n.rivals.com/news/tripp-commits-to-big-ten-school

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

This kid was being regarded as one of the top players in NYC prior to being shot in the leg and then suffering broken tibia. Obviously, a lot of schools backed away because of the injuries so I don't mind the staff taking a flyer on this kid.

Welcoem to the banks Jahlil!

 

[MADHAT1]

Glad you picked the Scarlet Knights MBB program and let me express my joy :
Welcome to the Banks Sir Jahlil, you made a wise choice [cheers]

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

I just jumped from the usual right vs left dumb vs dumber thread to this. I wish they would all come here with me . Maybe they would grow up for a few minutes. 34 and done is an absolute atrocity. My deepest condolences to his family ,friends and to the Rutgers community.
