Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

I believe coach publicly acknowledged Ford and Watson for the first time on the most recent Bob McKillop Show. Didn’t really elaborate on them too much other than citing their versatility and acknowledging they are both having great senior seasons, things we here are well aware of. I’m curious if th...

Sheick Samoura continues to be an impressive prospect with a high academic background and versatile game. No reported interest from us yet.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Grant Anticevich, a guy many of us thought we were landing a few years ago, looked like a bust/guy that we shouldn't worry about missing on after his first two years there. He has since turned into a very nice player as an upperclassman, especially as a senior. I remember being relatively unexcited ...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Davidson commits Chris Ford and Des(mond) Watson have had some big results lately. Ford had 26 points and 16 rebounds in a 99–70 North Meck win over Hopewell. He had 18 points and 10 rebounds in a 82–44 NM win over Mooresville. Watson had 24 points (10/10 FTs), 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals i...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

No public ties to us or inside info, but I figured worth mentioning 2021 Sheick Samoura since he is high academic (4.2 GPA and 1450 SAT) and local, and we have open roster spots: https://ncpreps.rivals.com/news/sheick-samoura-will-make-sure-you-know-his-name Looks like a similar mold to Watson and F...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Adam Thistlewood is an excellent shooter for CSU. I think he was once on our long and very unofficial interest list. Much more than that, we had offered and had an official visit scheduled: https://www.basketballcolorado.com/2-official-visits-set-2018-adam-thistlewood/ Ended up committing to Drake ...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Watching Colorado State, former recruits who we were finalists for Adam Thistlewood and David Roddy are both very good. Excited to see what Ford, Watson, and anybody else we scout this time around looks like in a Cats uniform.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

I have seen him listed as a wing guard and as a SF. I think he played as a big for a while and then more of a wing player later. He can really get to the rim and is known as a tenacious defender. I think his potential is vast. So, do we have two spots left for this class? I think I saw or heard som...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/30116895/ncaa-grants-extra-year-eligibility-all-winter-sport-athletes I wonder how this impacts our recruiting strategy, and our roster generally. I know we have more hurdles to go through for players redshirting getting another year than other schools,...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Very curious how this cycle plays out. Since 2015 we've always had 1-2 dynamic scorers, and at least one dynamic scoring guard, and after KG graduates pending the rest of this recruiting cycle, it seems like we will have a roster of guys who fit Davidson basketball to a tee (unselfish, high IQ, shoo...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

https://twitter.com/MattNorlander/status/1313122444203491328?s=20 I wonder if this is why it's been so quiet on the recruiting front. It is hard to envision how this would work for us without graduate programs, but could be enticing for guys the CC and Bates if they wanted to and were capable of com...

Lucas Taylor announcing commitment 10/9. Great kid, would love to have him. Clemson would be disappointing. Not much tying him to us publicly for awhile now.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Excited about Chris Ford, but nervous we have been too patient during Covid. If we land Lucas Taylor I will be ecstatic, and I know there are other names rumbling out there, but we will be losing a Davidson all-timer and a double digit scoring expected starter this year, and this recruiting class is...
