On his Hargrave profile ...

"Loves to listen to Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck and Charles Mingus to relax during down time"

Different kinda kid, wouldn't you say?

Talent-wise, he seems a little fringy from my perspective, but the post-grad year should help and the coaches can evaluate these guys better than I can.

those are good artists, classics in their space, and i must say, shows some maturity on his part!

otherwise- i like the commitment.  maybe im alone on this one, but im more concerned with our bigs.  we are dominant when we have great talent in the paint, whether it's warney or brenton or joyner, etc.  also, the AE is a league where 1/2/3 talent can pile up; not so much in the 4/5.  VT has presence inside and so they win.  so i love what we are doing there, but show me the bigs!!!

With recruits, I always look to see what other schools offered to see what level they're at. Hopefully our RPIs are in the same ballpark or better.

Jules Moor held offers from IUPUI and St. Francis (PA). I actually thought IUPUI was better than what their RPI says, but they've been bad recently, as have St. Francis. Also, you never know what offers he would have received as the season went on. He might be on the verge of breaking out.

Either way, we're excited to have you on the team, Jules.

We are going to need more length in 2018.. With only Ochefu on the roster, Alex Christie is a great addition. But still need more. Hopefully Tre King (another Hargrave connection) and Alanzo Frink (Roselle/Warney connection) are seriously considering SB.

Talking about length, we recently offered Jeffrey Otchere, a JuCo 6-10 center

Would that offer be for this season?

i was confused too... says he was at delaware state, but verbalcommits has him listed as a RS freshman this year, but that he's at garden city CC.  he's not on the roster, but why go to CC, in kansas, when you're from the bronx, if youre not on the team???

we need bigs, however this freshman class is shaping up to be a monster.

I agree it's confusing. May be he was comittitted to Delaware st but ended up playing at garden city CC. I don't know why or how. And VC has conflicting report stating both this year and 2018. I think 2018 is more correct. And if he does accept our offer, he will at the best be backing up Alex Christie. A 6-10 with talent usually doesn't play in CC. Still we need bigs next year besides Christie.

thanks.  looks like victor potter's offer list right now is just SB and Quinnipiac.  also o'connell has offers from just SB and Columbia.  would be nice to get either or both!

soriano and somerville intrigue me too... dont know enough about them though.

He is 6-8, 215lb now. Plays more small forward position. Not back to the basket. His teammate at LuHi Donatasi Kupsas also looks pretty good talent.

ive noticed kupsas is getting big attention. 

i forgot that HS kids grow!

i think the twitter feed said he's 6'9'' now.  either way, at that height, id think we'd want to use him back to the basket no?
