Looks like we had a visitor yesterday.

He committed to La Tech yesterday. I think his spot was taken by Helgason so let's hope we made the right choice.

Louisiana Tech received a commitment from versatile JUCO F Trashaun Combs-Pierce (@TrashaunPierce) on Wednesday:

1 down and 3 to go. As has been mentioned, we have 4 commits and 5 players who will use up their eligibility this year:
DHS
Bettiol
Brown
Banks
Placide

We will have to restock at the 2, as we lose all 3 at that position. We also lose most of our front court scoring. I'm guessing that there won't be any more freshmen next year other than the 4 commits that we know about. We'll use the portal to grab at least 2 shooting guards and a big. How many more besides the 5 we know about is the big question, but that's a long way off.

Christian is officially on board.

^ If he can shoot as well as advertised, we can use him. I wasn't worried about losing him, but I am getting a bit concerned about the other 2.

Christian Martin is our first recruit I can ever remember having, who isn’t even on the Verbalcommits database. Lol

Is he joining as a walk-on or are we giving him a full ride despite Frank’s $2M contract

Verbal commits is not really a good resource these days

????? Lol what Small conference coaches actually use the platform to discover new prospects since it captures JuCo and D2 as well, especially now with how crazy the no sitting out transfer era is

Have you found anything better than VerbalCommits? I've looked and haven't seen anything better.

Really isn’t a catch all. There are outlets that cover New England prep hoops on3 247 are solid for the national prospects. Verbal commits offers nothing just a name a generic rating in this new age of recruiting it’s not super useful

Its purpose is not to be a rating website; they don't even have their own rankings.. its purpose is to be a players database for college basketball..

In "Just Being Frank" today he said all commits have signed except one, who is signing today. I wonder if there are more than the 4 we know about?

He had 5 sets of eyes on his tweet today so it’s possible.

You got to believe we're in the mix for Sam Fleming 6'7 F from Wilbraham Monson who Chrisian Martin plays with UM alum Mike Mannix coaches and having a teammate (Luka) on UMass.

[69MG]

I saw Fleming play 2 years ago at WMA. I thought he was the best player on the floor. I was checking out Luka and Fleming jumped out at me. He had a serious injury last year and I don't know if he's fully recovered or not.
