i imagine they're gonna go hard after him if they are offering at this point. most of our recruiting approach has been to get in early on kids and establish a relation ship before they attract bigger name schools. occasionally, coach k and the staff go hard later on after a more highly recruited kid they think they got an angle on. this is what happened with rogers. otherwise, most of our recruiting activity has been 2017 and 2018 kids.

I think this guy looks like a really good prospect and an area of need. I would be surprised if Pitt or WVU really push hard he wouldn't go to one of those schools.

This is how great ideas come about! 14 kids, should be able to populate a couple teams. Getting friends involved? Brilliant!
I'm seeing a whole rewards point program starting to develop in my pea-brain. And who says Ma and Dad are done? If they sign on, as a bonus maybe send the parents to a romantic get-a-way?

14 kids. Fourteen. Let's think of a different reward.
