missed it

If we were to somehow sign him up, thinking as far as rankings go - he would be one of, if not THE highest ranked recruit we have had. Mooney's by far?

Ranked 64 by rivals and 51 by 24/7.

Is this the long awaited Chris Mack payoff

 

[Eight Legger]

Yeah, the next time we sign a 4-star kid with offers like this will be the first. It could be Mooney's own kid and I would still expect him to sign elsewhere.

 

[SpiderTrap]

Yeah. This kid is too highly recruited to come to UR. Unless we “will wade” this recruit and make a strong offer he can’t refuse - but we all know that’s not happening.

i think the only way somebody like this would come to UR is if their dad played at UR and they have a strong connection and love the school. We’ve got one of those but no idea if he has that desire and love for UR

Sometimes we need to keep our opinions to ourselves. After all it is just an opinion.

 

[urfan1]

There are lots of reasons for a kid to come to UR, even a 4 star recruit.

 

[Eight Legger]

Completely agree that there are tons. Just being realistic considering that we have never landed a recruit like this under Mooney. It might be different if he grew up in Richmond and was a Spiders fan all along. Maybe he has been one in Maryland, I don't know. Hope so.

 

[spiderman]

this is one of those special circumstances that gives us a real chance. we'll see.

 

[spiderman]

no mention.

Come on Dad, get to work. Wouldn’t you love to see your son follow in your footsteps?

I will repeat what I said on the other thread. I see virtually no chance that a players transferring high schools to go to a higher profile basketball program is going to choose a mid-major college program over all those high majors that are after him. Just doesn't add up. Time to move on from this one!

You’re right of course, but we have year of speculating on him. LOL

Maybe he can come do a shootaround at the Rob and launch a bid to surpass the AW3 thread.
