Jacob Gilyard - 2017 Signee
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
Well I hear there is a team in town with 41 2017 offers so I guess we have a few more to go...
Yes, at first glance I saw Dayton was getting a 5'10" Gilyard, so I did a double take.
Terrible interviewer, so I wouldn't bother listening to it, but when asked about his offers, Jacob only mentioned UAB, UMKC, Portland, Long Island, and Stephen F. Austin, so I'm assuming we're not involved anymore.

Jacob is a 3-star highly rated point guard. Would be a good get. OSC

To use a 97spiderfan analogy, I think the stars are less meaningful than who he has offers from.
I'd really love to see the remaining players in the 2017 class be 6-7 or taller. What am I missing with our roster construction? Aside from Golden, who the hell is going to defend the post in 2017-18 and beyond?
Paul when healthy can play. Hopefully we get Grant's brother, Bryce. We will be ok. OSC
Paul cannot seem to stay healthy and Bryce is 2 years away, even if we do get him. Has there been anything that has even indicated that the Golden Brothers want to play together?
Here ya go Mo:

Here is an excerpt:
"With his older brother Grant recently committed to Richmond, Bryce entertained the thought of playing with his older sibling in college.
“That’s definitely always been in the back of my mind. And it’s definitely what my mom wants me to do,” said Bryce. “I’ve been thinking about that a lot, and I think it would be really cool to play with him at the next level, especially because I didn’t really get to play with him a lot in high school because he got hurt last year.”
Apparently all it took was me saying we didn't appear to be involved in order to get a visit.
So I'll just say this: It appears we're not involved with any Top 25 guys.

Good stuff SF, I was just thinking someone said we didn't seem to be involved. I guess we never know what is going on with recruits. I do feel Moliva's angst about signing another big. Really with Solly was eligible this year as well.
I think this is a bit of wishful thinking Ulla. Paul has played virtually no time for us, maybe he will but he's on the wrong side of history right now. Maybe we will get Bryce but that's far from a sure thing. Far.
As of 7/20...
“Right now, it's a pretty long list, but recruiting me hardest is Tulsa, Wichita State, Missouri State, Richmond, American, Oral Roberts, UAB, Wofford and Vanderbilt,” he said.
Nice article about Jacob and his pedigree. Has been coached at the highest level by a former Kansas guard and NBA player. He knows how to play and makes everyone better. OSC

Loved the looks of that video. I'm on board with the "we really need a nice big guy recruit" crowd, but we also need a guy like this. He reminds me of the guard out of Memphis that ended up going to Florida. Big time talent it appears. Very nice!
Wow KA and KO combined so now let's get a 4 or a 5 or both and this will be
one heck of a class. Forgot about Solly, so I will take a versatile 6'7" up who can
play SF or PF. Am I being too greedy?

Welcome aboard! Does remind me of a KA + K0 mix.
This class desperately needs a big. Hopefully we can reel Moorman
