Impact juco in my opinion. He would really bring a major rebounding force to next year's team.

Can this staff ever win a recruiting battle against another staff? We are the defending A10 champs and we still lose the following: assorted thoughts:
Denzell Frank - did he choose Fordham over SBU in the fall ? Did he suddenly get good enough that we realized he was ok for SBU to offer?
Denzel Taylor - he chose Old Dominion (1 bid league) over SBU in the fall...how did we lose that again? now we hope we get him on rebound - toronto kid.. ?
Jerome Frink - maybe in a transfer because even tho he was from NY/NJ he took FIU over defending A10 champs? now we hope on 2nd pass?
Kevin Thomas given his combination of top ability and lower offers likely has grade issues.... still we wait with the western KY and North Texas? Anyone confident our guys beat those schools out?
Do our guys 'click ' with anyone?
This is the highest paid recruiting staff in the history of this school... go figure ... and we are the only team in the A10 to not sign anyone in the fall and we have the most rides open in the A10 now with 5.
By the way K Thomas was the key guy rumored to be a juco in the bag to save the day...,,up in smoke... Xavier Smith may help = thank you Tyler Relph for recruiting for us...tho you are not on our payroll....
Peter Van Passen thank you for fellow Neatherland guys Kloof and Mathias Runs

He is getting the groundwork layed.....if things are not good....he will say "I told you so"....if things are good......he will sink into the abyss. And, I may ask, why is getting leads from former players bad.....you make it seem that PVP helping with Kloof/Runs is a bad thing....recruiting is connections. You are not totally incorrect in what you post, but you "sing the same tune all the time".

jh. So its OK that Hurley will use his father as a connection to recruit at UB, but its not OK that Schmidt uses his connections through former players to recruit. What logic do I fail to see?

Just getting back to the SUBJECT of the Thread, KEVIN THOMAS. He’s from Ajax, Ontario, a Ro Russell player, GRADE 91 out of High School with offers from Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgetown, Marquette, NC State, and Virginia Tech. He committed to the Texas Longhorns but did not qualify. He played the last two seasons at Div I Palm Beach State CC. Stats this season 9ppg, 57% FGs, 72% FTs and 9.1 rebs. That rebound # is quite impressive since he played alongside Jonathan Holton (A10 Frosh POY at URI) who is an absolute vacuum on the glass. Kevin, as a frosh at PBS, grabbed 10.5 boards a contest. www.gopherhole.com/news_article/show/205764?referrer_id=334835 Check out VIDEO Dec 2010 scouthoops.scout.com/2/1054774.html Mar 2011 latenighthoops.com/tag/kevin-thomas/ Mar 2013 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TBrt1PzRpI Aug 2010 Video

Tariq Sbiet published an article today on northpolehoops.com where Thomas is quoting as saying he is leaning toward Troy right now....

How can someone that narrows his choices to SBU, Western Kentucky and North Texas suddenly be leaning toward Troy?

Change the results and the tune may change. You just sat home while others took a trip to Brooklyn Your team that couldnt make Brooklyn just graduated your 3 leading scorers. Your staff had the least signings of any of those teams that went to Brooklyn while you sat home.
And you are about to lose your top target to Troy.
Pass me the koolaid please !!! Must be better than that grain alcohol punch we used to make for 4th dev parties !!
