I think he meant Gonzo was a sixth man at Notre Dame Prep when we recruited him. So he flew a bit under the radar and we lucked out.
That is why I posted Davidson’s latest recruit in the recruiting thread. Not because I care who they have, but because I hope we are looking at the same type of players.Why don't we, or why can't we, go after foreign recruits, especially some of the bigs that come out of Europe and the Balkan region? That seems to work great for Mark Few. And Davidson has gotten some quality bench players as well.
Coachfezz, I would love your opinion on this. I bet you even have connections overseas, you could be the school's scout and recruiter.

We're not. Unfortunately.
What non-Canadian foreign player have we even offered in the past 5 years?
For both grad transfers and undergrad transfers, it is best to either get someone who has done extremely well at a lower program or who hasn’t had an oportunity at a higher program.These two spots are important. I know we haven’t been good with grad transfers, but I’d much prefer a bad grad transfer to a reach on a 4 year commitment. Kid sitting for a year or 2 is better than 4-5 (obviously neither is preferable). With a good nucleus coming back, this is a make or break moment (again) for this staff to get it right and finish out a promising roster.

Dang Eight, does America need to import basketball players now too?Right, I'm not counting guys who we recruited from American high schools.
I know, just messing with you. Jack Salt has been a nice find for UVA. I think he is a Kiwi.Ha, well other coaches seem to find and attract Europen talent from Europe and bring it into our league. Fordham has. GW has. Davidson has. We sign a Lithuanian kid from Florida at the last minute because no one else wanted the scholarship, redshirt him and probably will never see him score 10 points in a game for us. Frustrating.

Tell us more. Is anyone else recruiting him, or would he be another walk-on?Has anyone heard about Joe Kirby's brother coming to UR?

I believe NC State offered about 2 years ago. So I would be ok with him as a walk on...Tell us more. Is anyone else recruiting him, or would he be another walk-on?
Well, I have seen no other info since the NCSU offer 5/11/2016. And Mooney DOES have a great track record with recruits with no internet sports presence so...Mooney does have a great track record of landing highly-regarded brothers of current players, so...
Has anyone heard about Joe Kirby's brother coming to UR?
He worked out with the guys last fall during a visit.
Is he still 6’4”? He was 6’2”, then 6’3” then 6’4” very quickly...
It’s the shoes.Is he still 6’4”? He was 6’2”, then 6’3” then 6’4” very quickly...
I guess any higher lifts would risk ankle injury?It’s the shoes.
Did he sit one at a JUCO without playing then to Dayton?Well, we'll have plenty of time to be out recruiting, at least.
Based on past springs, best not to get our hopes up for any meaningful addition to our roster with these 2 scholarships. Hopefully, he sends Rob Jones on a 2 month long recruiting trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Mooney gets on his horse and personally recruits these last 2 ships.it'll be interesting to see if we get a nice addition this year. seems to be a good spring to have open ships.
