Recruiting - 2016

[Phoenix]

Reported offers..yes.

[Patch]

You offer many more players then you sign (you have to). Once the offers made it's like 1st come 1st served. Players know you have other offers out there (we'll say for PG). The 1st PG that takes the offer usually gets it.

Thanks for the explanation, Patch, because I was also wondering if coaching staffs use some sort of formula like "we have to make 12 offers to land 2-3 guys" ... Offering must mean that WB and staff would take any of them, so the "first come, first served" makes sense

Generally that is correct - I think - like all things their are probably exceptions to the general rule!

[Phoenix]

Justin Pierce..6'6" SG from Illinois. Offers from a slew of other mid-majors.

Quick observation about '16 targets...most if not all 4 year kids. Just saying...

If I remember correctly we were looking at Tavares when he was in high school. His Juco shooting numbers are really good and he has great size for a guard. He was one of the leading scorers on that Monroe team that had a bunch of players going to D1.

[Phoenix]

Eric Monroe..6'2" PG out of San Diego. Offers from a few Ivies, a few Patriots and Montana.

[Phoenix]

Blake Spellman..6'1" PG out of Missouri. Offer from Northern Kentucky.

[Phoenix]

Jalen Tate..6'3" SG/SF from Ohio. Offers from Northern Kentucky and Kent State.

More geographically diverse than years past. Still always wondered why they don't make more of a downstate push though.

They probably do, but kids want to play outside of NY. Just look at St. Johns.

I'm not sure who we can get out of these lists but we're recruiting in a much nicer neighborhood. A lot of guys with MAC and Horizon League offers. Eric Monroe who Phoenix mentioned is a three star recruit who might be on one of the better high school teams in the country next year. I'm not sure how you convince him to come to Albany from San Diego but that's another story.
