Ferry knows it's OK to recruit big men. Right? This isn't the Irish league, where everyone is 5-10 with red hair and freckles.

Funny that you take issue with the size of the players when Ron had that same 6'5" thing going.  I used to ask the same question regarding his recruiting all guards and small forwards.  I don't know why Duquesne always seems to lack adequate size, maybe it's just something endemic in the program.  Given the limitations of the "bigs" that we do get; maybe we are better off playing small and fast, but it sure would be nice to get a few bugs that can play.

They pretty much give everyone other than the top 150 guys 2 stars. The better indicator is who else has offered the player

A few more '17 offers:

They play their home games at the Brownson House in Washington but most of their games are on the road. Ashton Gibbs is one of the coaches at First Love.

Prince, Samson, and Frampton.

I would sign them just for their names.

I meant to post something on that first love basketball team but never got around to it. It would be a big boost to our program if first love can develop into one of those basketball factory prep schools. Here's an article on the program.

Yes, but we are dating ourselves a bit.  Our younger fans could google "Frampton Comes Alive" to figure out the reference.

Who's going to be Frampton's Camel?
