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.
You fellas might be on to something. I saw somewhere that he was crystal balled to Duquesne(100%). I'm not sure about this crystal balling stuff but we'll see if this one"s right at 3:30.

He would be another guard and I still think we need another big.

Re: Recruiting update
What about Dre Harris, 6'7", 6'8" PF? We signed two more guards and looks like we'll be overloaded at that position next year. I am more worried about getting a PF behind Weathers to tell you the truth.

Re: Recruiting update
And I know we have Amari and Rotroff, but I would still like a young big in training at the 4 if you will. Amari is probably more of a 4 anyway than Austin R. It also remains to be seen how well Rotroff and Amari are able to bounce back from those injuries. As the GMan and Inky say, "time will tell".

Re: Recruiting update
Good questions WashPa, I haven't seen anything yet on the official DU website and once they are done with recruiting they usually put out an article. Interesting, could this mean there is more in the works? I think CLK pointed out the early signing period dates and I believe we are still within that window.

Re: Recruiting update
Acuff is signed. I didn’t see any announcement on Jett. Jett’s team, The First Love Academy was at the Lamar game. There is a definite need for a shooter like Jett on the team.

Re: Recruiting update
Dre Harris posted on Twitter pictures of him with his parents and the coaches with a Duquesne uniform on and it says "what do you think" - it's on PSN. Dre here is what i think, "JOIN THE PARTY" and sign up with the DUKES! We'd love to have Ya!

Re: Recruiting update
I would love to get Dre Harris on-board. Does anyone have any thoughts on how he plans of fitting on these guys here?
Baylee Steele only one leaving. How would he be able to welcome in a 3 man recruiting class?

Re: Recruiting update
Dambrot has ways of juggling scholarships to make it work. It's also assuming that current player may transfer out, which on aggregate is probably likely, but to speculate on any particular individuals would be improper

Re: Recruiting update
Yea i was thinking along those lines as well. I could be wrong but is James Ellis on scholarship? I thought it was something different - like you mentioned above Dambrot swung something different.
The transfers have ruined college hoops for me - just so many anymore but not part of the landscape.

Re: Recruiting update
We pretty much have had at least 2 kids transferring out every year lately as have just about every other school. So 3 kids coming in and one graduating is par for the course. It's just the nature of the beast.

Frankie Hughes will likely grad transfer. Other than that, we have 3 other players who could also grad transfer. Let's hope that doesn't happen, especially Mike, and Marcus. A guard could fall out of the rotation and decide to leave, as well as one of the bigs if future playing time doesn't look to be in the cards.

Losing Mike or Marcus would be a big blow to next years team.

Re: Recruiting update
Duquesne makes both official.
Interesting to see Acuff is listed as 6 4. His recruiting profile says 6 2

Re: Recruiting update
For what it's worth, 247 Sports lists Tyson Acuff (6"2) in their Crystal Ball section as "Duquesne, 100%".

Re: Recruiting update
We signed a couple of really good players:
Jett led First Love with 29 points in their last game
Tyson hit a half court game winner in their last game
