Would love to land this guy

I think we should be pleased with this comment from Coach White. It speaks well of what an objective view of our program looks like to a top H.S. coach.

“By July, I would think,” said the Justices’ Coach Ty White of Nelson’s upcoming decision. “Jason can’t go wrong with either.”

 

[Eight Legger]

I had heard it would be earlier but I understand there were some delays. Still a good feeling here.

 

[spider23]

So much, "I have to win this"

Sometimes I wish Mooney had more of this attitude.

One week to wait

Moondog had best be readying his final finishing move, which hopefully is a call from Gilyard about how he developed him to one of the best PG's in the country.

Would love that voiceover during highlights of the NCAA tourney game, immediately followed by last year's victory.

It's an SEC program, I get that and Vandy is a heck of school, but I feel like we hold all of the basketball related cards in this one.

 

[spider23]

Agree 97, at this point in time we are a better team. And he must like both coaches - Mooney is much more likely to be his coach for multiple years.

 

[UR Fan 2]

I suspect a by product of the pandemic will be kids staying closer to home when they pick a college. Let's hope it works this time.

 

[spider23]

Not much chatter. Really would like to add him to our backcourt for the future. Any one see anything new? Guessing we all will just have to wait it for a couple more days.

Dammit ! You weren’t posting his decision...

 

[urfan1]

I feel hopeful

 

[spider23]

I am hopeful too. Went over to Vandy board, they seem disappointed in his size and offer list.. On the other hand I think Jason can be an impact player on a top 20 team.

I believe Gilly said it about as well as it can be said when he said something to the effect of "I became a better player when I realized I needed to make my teammates better"

I believe that this is how the good become great.

Vandy board must not have watched Vandy basketball the past few years.

I really like Nelson's highlight video. would love to lock down the PG spot here in this class this week.

 

[spider23]

I'll be sure to set my mental alarm to check things out at 12:10 tonight/this morning.
Sman, I really like his tape too. Reminds me a bit of Kevin Anderson - makes winning plays. Hope we get him.

he's announcing 6/25. you need to move your mental alarm out an extra 24 hours.

Haha, got me. Feels like should be Wednesday already.

 

[Spiders05]

This is a guy that we've been all in on. He has deep ties to the local community.

Hearing positive things (nothing definitive). Fingers crossed.

 

[SFspidur]

Decision at noon tomorrow.

 

[spiderman]

man, this is setting up nicely. we have Dread. let's say we get the thumbs up from Nelson tomorrow. hopefully Hicks would be next. then another long wing like Taylor or Johnson or Thompson. and then find that elusive big man to round out an amazing class.

Fab 5

 

[GKiller]

Don't expect 5 freshman signed. Mooney has said as much. At least 1 will be used for a transfer.

 

[spider23]

 

[SFspidur]

Things will likely open up a bit with transfers and the inevitable guys unwisely going pro early, but as of right now they only have a spot or two left for 2021, so I'd be surprised if they use two of them on PGs, even if Daniels is a combo.

 

[UR Fan 2]

Is "the decision" live streamed anywhere?

Doubtful, but I’d expect a tweet at noon

if 5 good ones want to come I think we accept them.
but we don't seems to be "in" with many post players. if we can't land a post, we'll be in the market for a transfer post ... with everyone else looking at the same guys. decent big guy transfers are going to be tough to get.

Transfer bigs are probably the most sought after athletes in college basketball. I hope we aren’t banking on finding one, because we’ve seen in the past we can end up with guys like Abakah and Madrid-Andrews who don’t contribute at all.

So you are saying we won't say "Sorry, Zion, we'll wait for a transfer..."?

 

[Eight Legger]

Decision was made a week or two ago. Hoping for the best here!

 

[SFspidur]

We got him!

 

[Eight Legger]

Got him!

 

[Spiderstew1962]

All In! Go Spiders!

 

[Spider2020]

Great start to this class with him and Dread
