PSN Recruiting Update Story

https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2019/09/09/keith-dambrot-keeping-busy-on-the-recruiting-trail-in-coming-weeks/
 

Pete was a starting guard for Carmel as a freshman last year as they won the big school Indiana state championship.My guess from the little I know is Pete Suder is going to be highly recruited by all the big schools.
 His dad was lightly recruited and developed into a very good basketball player at Duquesne.He was a great shooter and steadily improved  year after year .I think he was a first team A10 pick his senior year.
  That 15-14 team nearly pulled off upsetting St Joes in A10 semifinals,Suder had his arm slapped the ball
goes to St Joes and a foul is called on Stevenson on a blocked shot that looked clean.St Joes wins by 1
in one of the most heartbreaking losses in Duquesne history.Thanks alot A10 refs.
Emmett Sellers was starting to come on strong and who knows what Suder,Sellers and Rawls could have done if they had played WVU in finals.It hurts just thinking about that game.Very painful,so close.

Thanks for the info. I was there for the St. Joe game and it was a brutal no call. Everyone knew Rick would make the shots since he was a 90%+ free throw shooter. Pierre Brooks (ton of Big Ten offers) and Jaden Adkins are both top notch recruits for 2021. It is good to see us involved.

Dukes should recruit him hard,Pete could be a 6-7 kid with skills of a guard,you got one of the Miller boys from Beaver Falls as head coach at Indiana,you got a assistant at Purdue who served for RE when he was at Duquesne.Schools will be salivating to get Pete Suder because if you are reading about this elite team in Indiana,he was making clutch baskets throughout the season and he still has a boys body.When his body catches up to his skills watch out.Rick was a great player because of hard work and this young man
is going to be awesome as a senior at Carmel High if hes got that same work ethic Rick had.GO BLUFFITES.

I think I know the answer, but, how do we have room for anyone next year?  

As luck would have it, there was an alumni event in Carmel, Indiana last night with President Gormley. Looks like Rick Suder attended as I do believe that's him, second row, second-from-left in the red shirt, no?

Simple, we'll have four 5th-year seniors who will be eligible to graduate-transfer out and play somewhere else next year. I suspect that at least one and probably two will. And then the standard underclassman transfers. KD's had eight of those in his first two seasons and is bound to have a few more after this season.

Hope that Mike Hughes, and Marcus Weathers don't go anywhere. That's why it's important to take another step forward this year. If were looking like an NCAA team next year, as starters, I'd think they'd be less likely to leave, as opposed to being on a team that at best, might make the NIT. Make the NIT this year, and we'll be among the favorites to win the league next year. Why leave that?
 

Dre Harris (a player discussed above) is on official visit this weekend.  He is a 6'8" Power Forward  with offers from Montana, Washington State, New Mexico and Georgetown.   As reported about he is KD's top target, and would be a big time recruit for the Dukes.

I want this kid and we need him!  C'mon Dre, join the Dukes.  Anyone hearing anything about how the visit went?  I think the early signing period starts this week.  

CLK, thanks for clarification on the signing period.  It would be special for KD to land a PF sought after by the likes of GTown, WSU and New Mexico.  Close the deal!!!!

I think TDM would be attractive to some bigger programs, P5 schools that need a shooter next year.   But thats way down the road.   Like you say, hopefully we win a lot this year, they are excited for the Coop and they stick around and win the A10 next year!

Facebook group (Mike Vukovcan) is hinting we have a commitment from somebody today.

Mike, I saw where Tyson Acuff is signing at 3:30 today.  My guess since he visited a few weeks ago it may be him.  Just a guess.
