If LDE could provide any info on future big men that would be helpful.

eepstein0 {l Wrote}:Turner was previously the #1 overal prospect for 2016. No clue why he's bounced around (defer to LDE here).

He would play about 35 minutes a night on our squad. We need about 4 of him. Supposedly an incredible rebounder

#1 overall as in, like, no qualifiers?

Granted I don't follow this stuff that closely but he's not even ranked by most places. 247 has him in the 300s.

Sure it was this same guy?

Sorry #44 and #1 in AZ.

Weird.

I have no idea how these individual sources rank against each other, but ESPN has him as a 3 star, 76 grade. 12th in state (guessing LA at this point?), #40 "center". Still list him as 2016 with no college activity.

Verbal Commits lists him as 3 star (aggregating scout, ESPN and rivals) and unranked.

24/7 has him as a 3 star, 85 grade, 8th in LA, 34th at Center, and 328th overall.

Guess he had a real terrible senior season?

He had offers from Arizona and a bunch of other big time D1s.

All I know is he is an elite rebounder which we desperately need

Updated concerns of posters in thread: in all likelihood, we now need a top guard to come in next year too.

LDE--anything?

Like Mark Smith or something...

I think there were originally clearinghouse issues, but he got over that hurdle according to his twitter.

yeah well according to my twitter I am an unselfish basketball player that doesn't drink too much cheap tequila, and I never throw my eight iron into water hazards out of frustration

I don't know that I trust him as an unbiased news source on himself, but if he can get us out of 15th place in a 15 team league, great

JC is doing an in-home visit with Malik Ondigo today and Spinelli will be there next week.

Do we have a shot at Howard Washington?

Don't think BC is even involved.

One of the uninformed jackasses of Hockeyrection (which is to say everyone but Hoffses) wrote that we have a chance with this kid. I looked it up and we offered him in 2013 and there's been essentially nothing since. In other words, the current coaching staff has probably never talked to him. But ESPN still has us as an "interest," which qualifies as research on that forsaken women's hockey gif repository.

Long Distance Eagle is the one gives us recruiting news we can trust

occasionally, Funishment: we have a coach watching Mark Smith's game tonight...doesn't hurt that Illinois' coach got fired

Mark Smith is the best guard we're still looking at. He would be an absolute steal. Problem is everyone else in the nation is looking at him as well.

certainly complicates matters

It's JC who is at Smith's game. He flew to Chicago from Phoenix. And he has never mentioned Washington to me. Smith's recruitment is going to be a long process. His family is not rushing to make any quick decision. Despite having only 2 official visits remaining, he will be considering a larger number of schools.

Thanks for the continued updates, LDE. Any thoughts on Ondigo?

Unfortunately the longer this drags on the worse for BC.

That Ondigo list is doable

It is, but I wonder when Purdue reaches the Elite 8 if that will make it a wrap. Also, BC is a huge outlier in term of the teams listed.

At Purdue he's going to sit behind a bunch of big men. He might start at the 4 here

This kid is a 5 all the way. Stylistically he's closer to Reyes than Popovic...and I wouldn't really want Popovic at the 4 in anything but an emergency

You need a different PF when we're playing "Insert Shitty America East Team Here" vs Louisville/FSU/UNC.

There is no way they're starting that Euro kid against those monstrous teams in the ACC

I'm not a believer that you can glean much of predictive value from these types of articles, but here's something on Ondigo

Sounds like BC is second to Nevada.

If he does he will join our old friend Shawntrez Davis who went to JC after not getting the scores needed for Texas Tech.

He seems well-spoken and well-studied for 17/18, I would really believe him if he said academics were going to be a big factor. And looking at the compeition, I think we can benefit from his maturity

Choosing Nevada over Boston College if you're into academics is a bit like being homophobic and buying a two foot glass dildo, but they did at least crack double digits in the win column

maybe he's interested in the academics of hookers and gambling
