Mark Selig @MarkRSelig 10mLG Gill, an athletic swingman who drew considerable interest from JMU, has committed to Duquesne. At least he'll be a Duke. Last edited by CLK (5/04/2013 12:32 pm) Got a full boat now. This recruiting class is just what I've been waiting for, on paper at least. Everyone will have to show up and prove their worth to this program, but I am feeling pretty good today. Congratulations to Coach Ferry & Co. for an outstanding effort! Yep, full boat, but a heck of a lot of new faces. Somehow, I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the team's chances entering next year, opposed to this year. There'll be a lot more size, that's for sure. It's Christmas morning and I'm six years old again. Hope their basketball IQ is good. I've seen too many bonehead plays the last two years I've seen Duquesne. I realize I saw only two games, but I'm willing to bet the other games had mistakes too. Anyway, it looks good. Play hard, play smart, and the talent will take over. I like this tweet from this young man. Shows you where his head is at. Welcome to Duquesne LG. Probably won't be many minutes for him this year, but with Soko a senior, and McKoy a junior, he'll have a chance to play a lot down the road. Might he get a red shirt? I don't think he's competing for minutes with Soko, Watkins, Lewis and Robinson, I think he's competing for minutes with McKoy and Jerry Jones. I don't think he's competing for minutes with Soko, Watkins, Lewis and Robinson, I think he's competing for minutes with McKoy and Jerry Jones. I think Soko may play the 3, not the 4. In that scenario, it may be a case of McKoy vs Watkins for a starting spot. If Watkins looks to be the better player, Soko starts at the 3. If McKoy looks better, Soko starts at the 4. Most likely, Soko will see time at both the 3 and 4, depending on who else is on the floor. Probably won't be many minutes for him this year, but with Soko a senior, and McKoy a junior, he'll have a chance to play a lot down the road. Might he get a red shirt? Out of Soko, Watkins and McKoy only Soko can shoot like you need from your SF position. Soko wanted to go where he could play the 3 and Ferry might have recruitrd in a way that would allow him to do that.

LG Gill commits to Duquesne
LG Gill –Benedictine (Richmond, VA)
A 6’6 wing forward, Gill is exactly the type of kid that coaches love to have on their roster. He’s versatile, plays hard, and doesn’t force things. Owning fluid athleticism, Gill affects the game in multiple areas and has put himself in a great position to find a home at a low to mid-level division one program. He’s a guy that can score for you in the half court set with set jumpers and straight line drives, or in transition, as he runs the floor well and fills lanes appropriately. Gill will never blow you away with flashy play, but he will consistently impress you with his business-like approach and all around basketball ability.

Good question. We have 6 in this 2017 class counting Mason. Gill I think would benefit from a red shirt development year, and since he seems to value the opportunity for education (see his tweet in my previous post above) would also get an extra year of college, and this would help with our class distribution. •
