[Spiders05]

Saw this post on Cayo. In his last outing, he had 21 points and 11 boards.


His school doesn't play many games. Their schedule is here.

they take a break from December 2 to January 13? next year will be a shock.

 

[Spiders05]

Freshman wall is a real possibility given the limited schedule.

Grant Shepard - 2017 offer (though he might be 2018)

http://www.hoopseen.com/news/player/201612/grant-shephard-draws-heavy-attention

 

[Spiders05]

I don't believe he still has an offer from us.

 

[MrTbone]

Verbalcommits still shows an offer and he says he has one, so go figure. We don't have a scholarship open for next year so he would have to reclassify if he wanted to come here or something else would have to change with our current players/signees.

VC is using that piece on Grant as their source, which is using Grant. Given that none of our staff is following him on Twitter and that he's not following our staff and that we don't have any ships open (keep in mind that the guys that signed are locked in unless the staff changes), my guess is that he had an offer at one point in time and someone else (likely AJ) took it before he pulled the trigger.

Spiders 05, Thanks for the update on Bryce. Love to see those assist numbers along with the points and boards! Please continue to post on our other guys, especially those that we currently know little about, like AJ and Nathan, in particular.

If AJ "blows up," and has a big senior year, it will tell us something very positive about our coaching staff's ability to spot "under-the-radar" talent, since he did not have a junior year that was high in statistics.

 

[Spiders05]

AJ has been dealing with injuries this year, so I don't expect a whole lot out of his senior year. I think he's got potential though when healthy.

From what I've read and seen of the incoming recruits, limited to highlights, short clips, and coach-speak, it seems as though Nathan may have more athleticism than the others. I hope that one or two of them can contribute meaningfully next year, though except for Gilyard, I think that any of the others having an impact might be a stretch.

 

[Spideroldie]

Agree with iSpider, based on the early returns. However, am hoping that one or two of th other guys "blows up" real soon, and would love to see it be a 6-8 guy!

05, any news to report since January 4th?

 

[Spiders05]

Oldie, I'm constantly retweeting things. If it's something material, I'm updating in the premium forum. One thing for example - Gilyard was nominated for the McD's game.

 

[Spideroldie]

05, I can appreciate that you would like to beef up the premium board's subscriptions, but it would also be nice to post a few more updates on this non-premium board. Ulla, or anyone else out there with access to game video clips, can you provide an assist?

 

[Spiders05]

Oldie, my goal is to provide value to those that financially support the board, and one way to do that will be through providing updates, etc. to them. Over time, I'm planning on posting to the public board less and less.

I am fairly active on Twitter and woke suggest following me there as a way to get routine updates. @spidersportshub

[Spideroldie]

05, Since the high-school season is now over, and since there have been very few posts on this board recently about the final high-school stats of our recruits, wondered if you might be so kind as to post this info. If not, is there anyone else on the board who may have access to the final HS stats for our guys (Ulla1?)?

Even just a listing of final PPG and RPG stats would be nice. Although I always find shooting percentages to be more significant, like 3-pt-FG% and FT%. Based on our coaches "taste" in players, and desire for versatility, I would also expect some info on assists per game, steals per game and/or blocks per game to be most helpful.... Am hoping, for example, that Mr. Ford was able to get some practice swatting shots this past season, and we could use a "rim-protector" player to give Buck a hand defensively...
This incoming class will be very important to the program's future. So, ANY sharing of final HS stats would be far better than none....

 

[SFspidur]

I just shared some for Cayo in his thread.

 

[spiderstudent17]

He hasn't been mentioned much, but Tomas Verbinskis has a 3 star rating on both ESPN and 247. He doesn't have any recruiting videos though that can be seen

 

[Ulla1]

17, check out the "Tomas Verninskis - 2017 signee" thread; there are videos posted there.

 

[Ulla1]

Both Class of 2020 recruits, Henry Coleman and Darrick Jones visiting UR.

 

[Ulla1]

Interest in 2019 Zach Crisler.

[Ulla1]

Rasir Bolton committed to Penn State. Spiders offered early on.

 

[SpiderK]

How many offers do we have out now for 1 spot in 2018?

 

[MrTbone]

962...

 

[Ulla1]

New interest:

 

[urmite]

Since the first post was updated on Monday, does that mean there is nothing significant to add for the 2018 targets? Like narrowing list of schools?

Have we had much recent activity on anyone outside of the 5 on verbal commits list?

Doesn't commitment active pick up around this time? and early November...

 

[SFspidur]

I haven't seen much this week that would be reflected in tracker. Ulla posted some info on visits and our coaches' visits.

This is a crazy week for me though, so I haven't been keeping a super close eye on things.

 

[Spiders05]

We put a new offer out there a couple of days ago and had a couple of guys in to visit a couple of weekends ago. My apologies, this new job is eating my time right now, so haven't been on my game as much either.

So, 05, have you heard anything later?

Carter - just put a couple of nuggets on the premium board for you.

Thanks a lot 5...

Wow! But not too surprising as Nathan seemed to be taking his minutes. Wish Solly nothing but the best.

 

[Hanca]

Nothing against the young man but appeared lost the entire time. Hopefully, more minutes for those who remain.

 

[CarolinaSpider]

I have a feeling that dad was busting Mooney's chops pretty hard and frequently. Unfortunately,
he was not showing well when he was in and I really expected a lot more from him. To be honest
Nathan moves better than he does. What I do worry about is the depth again due to fact anyone is
better that Kwesi from last year. Still wonder what TJ saw that did not show up.

 

[fan2011]

Any ideas on who we the main targets are right now? When does the next recruiting period open up?

 

[SFspidur]

Recruiting is open now except for Final Four week in early April. Signing day is April 11.

 

[SpiderFan]

Hey great another wasted scholarship year and recruiting miss for the team.
