Luke Hunger - 2022 Offer/Visit
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
I thought this article was interesting and sorry if it has been posted already. We will likely need to wait a little bit before the decision as he said he will likely visit one more after Richmond. Article dated 10/15.
“I’m hearing a lot from Northwestern, BC, Richmond, and UPenn. I visited Miami, Harvard and Northwestern and will probably visit Richmond and one more.”

Hmmm, also says things could change and not take the visit. Would be awesome to get Luke. This would really solidfy the front court in coming years. We lose starting 4 and 5, we let big men handle, pass and shoot, what's not to like.
Honestly if he takes two officials to us and DOESN'T end up here, that will feel like an even bigger failure than if he'd just come here once.

maybe they're just working on the social media announcement graphics?
That would be nice, this would be a great get imo. The type we have been in the top 5 with the last few years and end up losing out. Would be even more impressive to break the NMH P6 or IVY or bust cycle. And again, would point to a trend of successfully mining the very fertile NEPSAC - with Burton being other recent recruit.
That reminds me, someone remind me to troll the Temple board at some point, I see they are picked 8th in the AAC, sandwiched between those powers Tulane and Tulsa

Yep, it's the fans fault that our athletics are a decade long bad joke. Nailed it.

When I compare what we have accomplished to what big brother down the road has done in the same timeframe I consider that a joke.
nothing really new here. just saw it was tweeted an hour ago and Will Gipe was quick with the "like".
lol, yes this would be our first 5-maple leaf recruit of the Mooney era!

I guess the "we sweep Hunger off his feet and seal the deal on his second campus visit" ship has sailed then?
Seems like it. Perfect opportunity for Mooney to wrap up a nice two man class here. What's our 2nd option?
I hear we are still in the hunt, don't give up yet.
Good to hear fan1. This would be an important recruit for us, and it seems like our plan B's are dwindling to non existent at this point.
yeah, we don't have a lot of lines in the water. and I think we would if we didn't feel we were strong with someone.
we must feel we're in a good spot with Hunger or Buchanan or some under the radar guy we don't know about ... and I've lost confidence in our chances with Buchanan after the recent Pitt full court press.
I want to remind you all, often we have had kids, a player come out of nowhere that we sign.
Admittedly, with all of the social networking going on, a lot doesn’t stay secret. But every now and then. Boom
It sucks that Mooney can never close the deal on the big recruit. I know every kid is different and has different priorities and interests, but just every once in a while it would be nice to land the kid that we know is our top priority.
Those uniforms are horrendous. He chose that over us? And three days after being here? Oof.

yep. I had us at 20%. still a gut punch. he would have been a great fit. now we'll be desperate next class for a 5 to play with Walz.
perfect target to shoot for, but unless we somehow surprise with Buchanan we have to go to plan B. wonder if we put offers out soon, or if we wait. the transfer market will be red hot this spring.
I think most schools now would look at the transfer market to fill this hole, but not Mooney's MO, so who knows. I like Walz, he seems like a good prospect, but I am not picturing much early impact. Really leaves us in the same boat of missing impact and depth on the interior, probably both next season.
Hunger commits to Northwestern. And I beat SF to the punch
Very good choice academically. Terrible f'ing choice athletically.
Transfer portal in 2 years.
If Collins is still the coach, that would be a miserable situation. All of K's worst traits rubbed of on that little....
I doubt it. NMH guys are almost always academics first. he'll play and they most likely won't win much. but he's getting what he wanted. a terrific network for the next 40 years.
I'm impatient so waiting for the transfer market would be tough for me! but there will be opportunities if we do hold off.
I do believe Matt and Sal come back so with Walz we have depth at the 5 for one year. Hunger would have really solidified that position long term. next class big man will be very important.
big forward might be a bigger need than the 5 for next year. I think Burton likely becomes the bigger forward and that opens time for others at SF, but then we're kind of small. Sal might get his shot. or maybe Noyes is the future. a guy like Buchanan would really solidifyy that position long term.
there's no need for a 2 or 3 in this class, and we're strong at the 1 with Nelson, Wilson and Bailey.
Shocker - we lose to a Big 10 school with a Duke head coach. But as mentioned before - hopefully we were close, and if in a year or two he is looking to transfer, we should be the first call he gets from the transfer portal.
How good of a salesman is a coach, that is liked and well respected by his big man, Grant, and yet he can’t even get his brother to come here. Even his mother wanted him to play with his brother.
As someone who has been in sales his entire adult life, CM is not “asking for the order” soon enough.
It's a slap in the face that he visited here for a second time and then three days later committed somewhere else.
the word I got was it had come down to Northwestern and us. unfortunately second place recruiting is only the first loser
