2017 Recruiting needs and potential recruits

[69MG]

The signing period is from 4/12 to 5/17.

At the end of the day if we only lose Berger, Lewis and Coleman and replace them with guys like Nolan our overall talent and roster should be better than last year IMO. I thInk MM sees he's got four talented bigs that are only getting better but a real shooting deficiency. If he adds a couple 3 stars that can shoot this team gets really formidable.

I was thinking the same thing. Our strength is our bigs... I didn't care if anyone left except Holloway and Baldwin because I think they can be dominant.

Yep, you can't say 1 negative thing here without being treated like shit. Very childish of you 78.

McCall is focusing mostly on JUCO recruits, all I'm saying, you don't bring in the best talent from there. They are at a JUCO school for a reason. Either didn't get recruited well in high school or didn't have the grades to get accepted to a college.

i've got something negative for you... you're an idiot

I think we found Niles' inside guy -- Dwayne Wise

Dwayne Wise is not a great dude

Personally I thought they totally underutilized Baldwin last year. The kid showed in his limited minutes that he can rebound the ball on both ends, and I think he's got a real nice mid range jumper. Kid is tough as hell ( played thru his broken nose), and you can see he hates to lose. I think he'd be great as a high post guy as he can hit that shot, he crashes the glass, and he can take some of that pressure off of Holloway down low if they guard him at the foul line. Huge asset to this team to not be seeing more time

Have no idea. Just busting Niles as it seemed like his info was from something he posted

[MassModestMouse]

Chattanooga was a much better time than us last year and probably would've beaten us 7 or 6 times out of 10. So, I'm cool if his old list is his starting point, at the very least.

You follow DMV area prep hoops pretty closely, right, or am I remembering that wrong? What are your thoughts on Terry Nolan Jr?

[TheInsider]

Honestly in 9 years DK had what... 2 really good recruiting classes??? Outside of that he sprinkled in a guy here and there.. most of those guys were 3 stars or below. I think his lack of good recruiting left us with some really down years. MM has open schollys at the last possible second. No one was already coming here this year so he doesn't even have guys to try to convince to honor a commitment. I'll give him a pass on the couple guys he brings in this year.

[NilesGold]

^ Yes, but I didn't include them because they're 2018 & 2019 recruits.

[JBUMass2011]

I've said it before, I think there's a decent chance Clark will be back

"UMass guard Donte Clark tells me he will graduate and transfer. Immediately eligible. Averaged 12.6 PPG. Will also test NBA Draft process." -rothstein

I tried telling ppl. He was never coming back

Hopefully the decks are cleared now. McCall knows what he has and knows what he needs. These 4 losses can be overcome pretty easily in my opinion. Any more defections and we will begin to have issues for next season.
