Problem is, as has been pointed out on numerous occasions, we have one recruiter even though we're paying for two. Matt can't be everywhere, especially with regard to the 5th year seniors, who often turn up unexpectedly and who need to be corralled quickly, especially giving the often-intense competition for them. Anyway you look at it, paying a well-connected recruiter like Slice to do nothing is taking its toll ... and will likely continue to.

Eerily reminiscent of the times I would see Tony Chiles in the CTK gym and no Lavin or Jim Whitesell or Rico Hines and certainly not Gene Keady. And, like Slice, Mo Hicks disappeared.

Steal for the Hall. They need offensive threats in the front court and this kid is real deal.

If this kid came here, it would take no time for us to be calling him Amar 2.0. He is not the banger we are looking for.
If everyone is back SHU is going to be loaded next year. This kid seems like a nice add for them in addition to the Top 100 SG they have coming in Cale. Even if they don't find someone to play point, Carrington should be able to handle given depth at SG with Powell/Cale.

Their site is also saying they were close to playing Kentucky but they only wanted to play the Hall @ MSG not the rock. Similar to what they did with Providence a few years ago playing at Barclays.
Hall site also saying they are playing in the Under Armour games at MSG again next year. I wouldn't mind us some how getting in to that doubleheader.
Be interesting to see if we get a good big 10 team in the Gavitt Games this year. Especially where the game would be at MSG and not on campus.

Be interesting to see what Willard does after this year. Reality is it's looking like their third straight trip to the dance and the best and most experienced roster Willard has had on paper to do some work once they get there.
Would not be surprised if opportunity is there for Willard to make a move if this year pans out well for SH, and he capitalized on it especially because they are likely to take a step back the following year. Although they are in far better shape there than I thought they would be with Powell/Cale, and a big year this year should only help with '18 recruiting.
What Willard did in recruiting back in '13/'14 certainly seemed like desperation. But have to give him a little bit of credit, it worked. Been a long time since SJU went to the NCAA T two years in a row and were well-positioned for a third straight trip.

I would love to see Clark play his former team, Michigan State
Am I stretching it too much in saying that by not agreeing to take Whitehead's coach in order to sign him it ends up causing Lavin his job and ends up,saving Willard's job?
Lavin lost his job because, for whatever reason, he stopped working. Period, end of story....he could have saved his job had he worked at it because given the effort I am sure he could have kept us at an acceptable level. We are not UCLA nor are the expectations here remotely the same.
