Sy Chatman - 2018 Offer
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
That guy from Evansville looks like he could be a nice fit if we go that route.
Sal replaces Jordan.
We still have to replace Solly.
We need to replace Paul. As an aside, did Paul say he was going to try to play or attend anywhere else? or simply not playing with us next season?
There is the possibility we may need others...

I follow your thinking, but I think we should be looking to get the best available, regardless of class. I’m of the belief the rest will shake out (a 6 man class screams of someone eventually transferring), which to me isn’t a bad thing, it means we have players overtaking them that are younger and better.
Just watched his highlights. This is a must get. Mooney needs to fly to Minn. right now and pull a Sean Miller if necessary! Lol.
When did Sy visit? I believe I saw that he visited Siena and Northern Iowa, when did Ulla get the chance to chat him up?
Well this doesn’t make me feel good about our chances. We haven’t gotten him on campus yet? Not a great sign, but maybe now that we’re out of the Bryce sweepstakes, we can focus on Sy.
Yes, what the heck are we waiting for. Would think that we SHOULD be an attractive option. I have a feeling this recruitment is stuck in the mud. One of the articles mentions his play senior year was getting him some high major looks.
Would love to have him, but I’m guessing that won’t happen given that we haven’t heard about any other steps since offering (no visit, etc).
Nathan for whatever reason, I get the feeling that he wants to be closer to home. Hope I am wrong.
OK, didn't see the April 11 post a couple above. But yes, spots are filling and it is all connected. You just sit back with no urgency (like Mooney) and let's see who we end up with. Tick
Tock.
No hurry.

Very well could be. There is a lot that happens behind the scenes that we as fans don’t see. I hope we’re working on him though, especially getting him on campus.
I’m also one to assume we are doing all of this. With 2 scholarship spots open, I would also assume that means no sleep for anyone in the men’s basketball department for the foreseeable future. Long days, lots of work to be done, gotta fill those spots with quality players.
So he has no high major offers per VC which I think is generally pretty thorough. The basketball season has only been over for a couple of weeks but I think he’d have more interest showing if P5 were lurking.
It seems he’s taken officials to Siena and UNI.
Why would we not be interested in a fairly athletic 6’9” forward? Seems like we should keep after them until we have more than one proven big in our rotation.
Based on inside info, there just being not a lot of smoke on the inter webs, or just general pessimism?
Cause I agree with you, we definitely should be in on him. Athletic wing, 6’7”, who can play the 3/4 in Mooney’s system sounds like the exact type we want. Also, while he doesn’t seem to be a dead eye shooter at the moment, he also doesn’t look awkward when taking a jumper, which gives me hope in him progressing.
That is the CYA way of thinking by many on this board. If you buy into this way of thinking our top targets in years past were guys that transferred down levels and/or failed to exist in the basketball universe upon leaving Richmond.
2020, targets change in time. Perhaps there is another recruit that has replaced Sy as a primary target. Just don’t know.
I know he's listed anywhere from 6'6" to 6'9", but he's nowhere near 6'9". he looks like a solid 6'6". still, I'd be happy to get him. good athlete.
but we offered in February. I know he was busy winning states, but he hasn't visited yet either by his choice or ours. if we don't hear he's scheduled to visit soon, then he isn't.

This seems to be the only good player we are currently involved with. Mooney needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat here.
"Richmond or Bradley" feels like we're behind the other three schools in the pecking order right now.
