Cheickna Dembele to UNLV

[RU82]

It worked for them. They have a good team and are in a pretty good position right now.

Of course Shu got around this by hiring assistants tied to their 3 core players in Whitehead, Delgado and Carrington in landing a Top 15-20 class in 2014 .

Smart move by them.

I would do the same thing if it got me some players.

Wouldn't you ?

absolutely--was on the record for that from day1

Rutgers is at the bottom now. Shu has had some success. But in 2 years, in 5 years we'll get up in the morning and say we're Rutgers. You'll still be Seton Hall.

Not trying to be a troll here, but Rutgers fans every time they hire a new coach seem to say this, why is Piekell going to be different?

What else do we have at this point but belief?

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Hobbs has a better chance to do that than anyone we've had working for our basketball team in the past

A.C. Hobbs knows the recruits and A.D. Hobbs knows the shu recruiting playbook ...get it done.

First time since I can remember RU had such a qualified A.D. this experienced in D1-level hoops in Hobbs. Plus we finally will have some real $$$ to make it happen...no more small fry b-east/aac budget chokehold.

For one the university, for the first time ever, is investing in hoops. Spent money on the best staff in 45 years. Building a new practice facility. Upgrading the RAC. RU has been bad because They have been cheap and ignored the program.

Because Orange fan this AD cares about basketball unlike the other People who cared about football and paid Stringer too much money.

I don't know, do you think we need more centers? :grimace:

This guy would seriously be the last piece in the puzzle to a .500+ season.

Michigan State in today to see the big fella per Corey Evans

A.C. Hobbs knows the recruits and A.D. Hobbs knows the shu recruiting playbook ...get it done.

I think I'll start using PHobbs and KHobbs to differentiate the 2 Hobbs.

Dembele cut his list. Rutgers not on the list.

Signed with UNLV

Interesting to see Press reaction to this on Sunday out here. UNLV has their 3rd coach in 4 months (2 in the last month), couple of kids have signed agents so they're gone, couple transferred, one considering transferring, and a HS senior just decommitted so there is plenty of PT for next year for anyone signing on with UNLV

 

[Vegas pj]

Per the LV Review Journal : according to his HS coach the 6' 11" center's "upside is scary how good he can be", "team's best FT shooter at 78%", "accurate from 17'", "can shoot 3 pointers and is a strong rebounder", "all the schools ("Mich.. St, 'Cuse, among others, and trip planned to Missouri") were recruiting him to play 15-20 minutes as a freshman" but if he has "a good summer (of conditioning) it will probably be more", "e will be productive".

He better be productive and get at least 15-20 minutes since UNLV's roster s depleted.

Oh well on to the next one
