I think we don't really hit the "big leagues" until we actually enroll a 4 star player.

Grady is a four star player. One service has him ranked as the #42 prospect in the class of 2017. He may not get the recognition he's due now that he has committed to Davidson (and not a P5), but had his recruitment remained open, he would have easily become a consensus top 100 player. He still may. We were very lucky to get his commitment early because he was primed to absolutely blow up. An amazing get.

My bad. I thought he was still ranked as a 3 star! Still a great rating, though.

Steph was a 4 star that Coach discovered. 8)

Hi, first time poster, big fan of the board. Did anyone realize that Harvard has 4 top 100 recruits on espns top 100 recruits for 2016, mind blowing! If Harvard can do it why not Davidson?

Harvard had an RPI of somewhere near 190 last season. Davidson's was around 65. Why would we want to be like Harvard?

Harvard goes after high academic and talented players just like us and landed a bunch this year, we have landed a few and will land similarly ranked players in the future. Nothing wrong with hoping for similar success going after similar players, and we have the edge of having a culture with a great coach with a history of developing talent even if we don't end up with players with high rankings next to their name.

That may or may not be true. I have read, on their board, probably about a year ago, many fans ruing the lowering of academic standards to admit players. Whether they knew that, or were speculating, I don't know.

This is technically correct but slightly misleading. One is ranked in the sixties and the other three are literally ranked 97th, 98th and 99th.

We can't because we don't have 4 scholarships to offer. We weren't crummy last year, so we cannot promise freshmen they'll start because our incumbents do not need to be replaced.

Since Harvard and the other Ivies do not give athletic scholarships, is there any limit to the number of players they could bring in?

They are much more willing to cheat than we are. They seem to be okay with it. Good for them.

Indiana offered Platek.  All we need is one or two more recruits in 17 and we're going to have a pretty sick team.  Success breeds success makes it that much easier to keep rolling in these players.
