BOOM.
EXACTLY the kind of player we need to compete in the AAC.
6'7" with offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, & Texas A&M. Plays great defense, can hit the 3, and gets to the rim on offense.
Now, if Dooley can land the 1 or 2 big men he's after, we're in business.
Rivals and 24/7 assign him "Not Rated" but the offer list is impressive. Congrats!
With that offer list, no idea why he hasn’t been graded yet. Odd.
I also think we are in on two of his teammates as well and they are both 3 stars. So the fact that he's not rated is odd.

It puzzles me, also. Hopefully, a reasonable explanation is forthcoming (eg, financial or recruiting).

I agree. Please verify because perhaps I erred.

How weird. Perhaps he has something planned for his team with the Celtics and Northeastern is by the hotel. Easy green line trip.

He is not rated. I think maybe because it is a Military Academy?
And yes, we have offers out to 3 Massanutten Military Academy players.
Brandon Suggs
SF - 6'7" 200lbs
Offers from: ECU, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M
*Committed to ECU*
Unrated
Dereon Seabron
CG - 6'5" 180lbs
Offers from: ECU, NC State, Minnesota, Providence, VCU
*Committed to NC State*
Seabron was unrated, just like Suggs... until he committed to State, and now he is a 4* (0.9574)
Mahamadou Diawara
PF - 6'10" 220lbs
Offers from: ECU, UMass, Penn State, Rhode Island, VCU
*Not yet committed anywhere
3* (0.9000)

It's apparently a package deal for some sort of event being held there. We're getting an appearance fee from the event, not from Northeastern.
Remember, next year we will have Wiseman, Jeffries, Dandridge, very likely Watford and good chance for Edwards.

Correction. It's apparently a 2-for-1 deal, and NE is the one paying us.

Tacko's block rate dropped off quite bit now that were in conference play.
In conference games only, Nysier Brooks is actually the leader in block %. Teams in conference know how to game plan around tacko a little more than other teams
