If Watkins is the only signee, that will be certainly disappointing.  (Not in him, just that only one player was signed early)

I always thought that was a weakness of the former regime.  The non-ability to sign players in the early signing period.

I am not that dissapointed as we only have two scholarships to give.  Watkins is a great signing, and hopefully we can get another good one in the Spring.  This kid Richardson looks to be the real deal.  He is an article a friend of mine sent me.

Duquesne contacted 2013 DC Assault/Massanutten Military Academy SF Rashard Kelly today.

Another name...  Duane Notice a 2013 6-foot-2 combo guard.   He is from Canada and is spending his senior season at St. Thomas More (CT).  He is being recruited Duquesne along with a large numer of high major schools per Recruit Scoop.  Hopefully we can get another Canadian blue chipper along with Watkins.

I didn't think it would be possible, but I think we have a better surname in 2013 recruiting than Severe.

Thanks for the update.

I would absolutely love to get this kid.  I just hope we land one of the recruits we are going after.  They seem like a reach, but I wouldn't have expected us to get Watkins either.

This is what I originally wanted to post:

Simms, thanks for the video link.  Seems like a nice, well spoken young man.

Duquesne has offered 2013 St. Thomas More (CT) guard Duane Notice, his coach said.

Notiice is a highly recruited 6'3" guard from Canada

The Dukes have also offered another Canadian Mikyle McIntosh

Two offers.  Any chance someone is leaving?  I realize that schools typically offer more than one person at a time, but I would be pretty stoked if we could land 3 solid recruits for next year.  Also, If someone left, I would assume it would be one of Ron's players so the backlash of Ferry running off players would hopefully be low.

McIntosh got his offer a while ago.

I am never surprised when someone leaves any program. The guys on the end of the bench come in thinking they are good enough to play. when that doesn't happen some of them are going to leave. It happens everywhere.

A new coach usually gets a pass when it comes to easing out a player or two from the old regime. It only becomes a problem, when players are being shown the door every year. That's when other coaches can use it against you.

I saw where we were recruiting Richardson from the Kiski School and we were previously after Canady. Seems like that could be a good pipeline if we could open it up. Looks like a lot of talent passes through there. About time we see someone from San Antonio on our radar you would think.

Everyone talks about Texas for it's football. It's been one of the best hotbeds for basketball over the last few years.

Christ the King shooting guard Jon Severe has changed his mind and decided he's not ready to pick a school yet, he tells me.


It could be that the new offers may have swayed him to wait.

Alabama & Georgia have offered 2013 Christ The King (NY) SG Jon Severe
