Where are you seeing this?

If he went juco, it's probably because of academics, I would assume.

Now, even more, I think Shaquille Walters from NU is a good experienced wing to seriously consider 🤔.

I think he might actually have two years eligibility, despite playing five already. Only ten games one year. Listed as redshirt JR on VC. They list him at 6-6 200 now. Started 69 out of 106 games. Played first year at Santa Clara. He's from London.

Take a look and lmk what you think...

Pretty sure that juco has produced some studs lately. Might just be betting on himself that a year there will get him on a P5 roster.

For those Twitter literate- Frank retweeted Wildens giving N’Guessan the eyes emoji. Now I don’t want to get too far into
this, but I will just a little to say I don’t think Frank is doing that unless he feels good about his chances of landing him.

I heard there's a pretty good Juco player this year named Sean East. Why can't we get players like this? Thanks, Tony.

Does the eyes emoji have special meaning? I've got my eye on you? IDK...

I think I heard that Luis is expected to announce tomorrow at 6 pm. Did N'G say he was announcing soon

Usually it means "pay attention to this shit right here" or something similar.

Roughly 2.5 hours to go for Luis. This has been dragged out far too long.

Good: He commits
Better: He commits and brings David N'Guessan with him.
Best: He commits, brings David N'Guessan and another quality player or two with him. We have 4 open spots.

I wonder why CJ and Cairo haven't entered the portal yet.

Maybe they are still on the fence. I believe they only have until June 1st.

If we can't upgrade above their talent level, I'd be more than happy to see them stay.

Slim pickings left in the portal.

UMass hoop and Frank Martin have added another '22 to their recruiting class in Miami native RJ Luis

https://247sports.com/Player/RJ-Luis-46128489/

The 3* wing, who prepped at Mt Zion in MD, chose the Minutemen over offers from Temple, Bonaventure and Kansas State among others
VCU and Rutgers also made offers in March, 2022.
