Rothstein is the worst.

I do think DJ will be very good but I’m not sure about him playing 4 positions...would need to put some lbs on. And he needs to get that jump shot fixed if he wants to be great.

Just saw Fernandes popped for Wichita State on Twitter. Bummer...

Saw that the Buie kid committed to Northwestern... I follow recruiting and get into it and in the past I might fret a bit about kids visiting/choosing P5 schools over us. But in thinking about it, I don’t necessarily care who we pick up, McCall and his staff seem to know what they are doing. I think...

Sounds like a few of their targets are taking some official visits this weekend.

Fernandes is headed to Wichita State.
Buie is headed to Northwestern.
Leveque is off to South Carolina.
Adams-Woods goes to Nebraska.

Not sure how his summer went but here’s a story on him from April:

I could have used that info 29 ferrets ago.

Nothing more say here is right...the only thing I will add is your initial post was geared towards this one player not any philosophy or overall recruiting pattern...that came later. In regards to your "If UMass was in a players Top 5 with all other NEC, MAAC schools, and it's becoming repetitive, y...

So is it bad look for a P5 school to be recruiting against those schools for Williams or is it only a bad look if that's what they consistently do? (Not looking for answer) Your original post seems to be about this one case and that's what I originally responded to. You've since expanded your point ...

Ooof, that’s a bad look for an ACC team to be recruiting players against those schools.

This was your original message.

I believe they just say tape or film. “I watched his tape” or “Christ, have you seen this kid’s film?” as if they are a coach watching the All-11 at 1:30 am to try and pick up schemes or the iso reel of the offensive line to try and pick up tendencies. Yes I find it incredibly pretentious and annoyi...

I think it all comes down to a coaching staff's ability to evaluate talent and fit. This is why, even though I follow recruiting pretty closely, I try not to form strong opinions on players I haven't seen play very much and don't put a ton of stock in rankings/stars (they are fine as a gauge but at ...

yeah I have no idea if he is. I don't know anything about him.

I was just pointing out two examples of players (who aren't similar) that may have appeared to be reaches to some but turned out to be pretty good. no idea if Williams falls in that category or not.

This has nothing to do with playing devil's advocate. I just don't necessarily agree with your statement and pointed out a couple of examples that were similar. I also don't think coaching staffs necessarily care who they are recruiting against and how that "looks" -- all they care about is: Can the...

Similar things could've been said for when they signed Jerome Robinson and he turned out to be pretty good.

Similar things could've been said when we signed Carl Pierre last year and he turned out to be pretty good.

A new name - Kamari Williams from down in the Maryland area. Wing who is supposed to be a pretty good shooter. Son of former Terp great Walt Williams, although he doesn’t wear the sweet tube socks like his dad. Guessing Cliff Warren knows his dad who does I think radio for the Terps. At any rate we ...
