Yes! Maybe Isaiah and Marquez can help recruit basketball players.

Getcha popcorn ready. opcorn:
For real though, I like Hinson even better than Tevian Jones. He's got the pugnacity that this system requires. Plays like the football player he is.
The Isaiah Williams commitment is bringing folks back to life round here
Jordan Caroline or Josh Cunningham would be immediate impact guys that can get you to the tournament. You potentially slot in Liddell or another top 100 guy next season after they depart.
He's a plan B, and they have to decide if they want to use an official on him or not.
Is there anything beyond wishful thinking to believe that either Caroline or Cunningham are (1) transferring, and (2) considering Illinois?
It stands to reason that if they were to look elsewhere, we would stand a chance given our connections to both recruits (locality for Caroline, the Chin relationship with Cunningham). But why would Caroline transfer from a great situation in Nevada?
If the staff slow-rolled Hinson because they were waiting on Caroline or Cunningham, then we should fire the staff right now.

S+C coming in with his patented EXTRA HOT TAKES!
Yea, not sold on Caroline...seems to be really slow with his feet....if he has to guard someone on the perimeter he seems to get beat fairly often...not sure he would fit BU's defensive scheme.

We just offered him three days ago I'm pretty sure we didn't slow roll him when his first comment on the matter he says w he will be attending either Illinois, Seton Hall or Washington.
I don't think Jones is a lock by any means, but he seems far more likely than Trice (on whom it appears we have cooled) or Ramey (has always seemed like a long shot).So, pulling together all the talk over the last few weeks, here is my current understanding. Correct me where I'm off...
So right now we have 3 "likely" commits with only 2 open spots. Obviously timing (who commits when) affects what happens, but mining the wisdom of the crowd I would think the liklihood of signing fall in this order...
- We currently have 2 open scholarships
General consensus (unsubstantiated) is that TJL or MV will transfer
In the hunt for Ramey
In the hunt for Hinson (CB lock)
In the hunt for Feliz (CB lock)
In the hunt for Bezhanishvili (consensus is he'll commit soon)
In the hunt for Jones
In the hunt for Trice
1. Feliz (he came out of nowhere per this board)
2. Bezhanishvili
3. Hinson
4. Trice (mainly because all scholarships may be gone by 4/11)
5. Ramey
6. Jones
Personally I kind of like the JUCO path (Feliz or Trice) just to help with class balance. They come in as Juniors, right?
Discuss!

Not sold on a guy that just averaged 18 for a S16 team while the beloved went sub-.500? Come on now. Caroline isn’t going to leave Nevada, but don’t act like we wouldn’t be thrilled to get him.

Caroline would actually be a great fit for our system and our needs. just that is not happening.
Likelihood is tough to measure, it's all dominoes:
- If we sign Ramey, we won't sign Feliz
- If we sign Jones, we won't sign Hinson
- If we sign Bezhanishvili, we won't sign Trice

Valdir Manuel commits to Seton hall
Valdir Manuel commits to Seton Hall.
Isn't SH among those in the Hinson race? Not that these two guys are the same position or anything....
