BB Recruiting New 2019 Hoops offer

[Russ Wood]

Sounds like a guy looking for a finders fee lol. Why would someone need to contact the coach he just decommitted from?

My guess is that the kid's HS Coach is one of those coaches who doesn't feel that it is part of his job to help his players get scholarships.

I'm sure you read that and thought "WTF" but I know many HS Coaches, mainly public school coaches, that don't call, text or email college coaches about their kids. Don't send game video (unless requested by a college coach) of their kids. Basically, they do not lift a finger to help some of their kids get scholarships. Sadly the number of coaches that I know who fall into this category outnumber the fingers on my hands.

Maybe his juco coach just cares about helping kids chase their dreams. Good for him.

Athletic but a little concerned about competition level and the fact that Nebraska hasn't offered.

I checked with a source in Nebraska and he told me that there was interest from the Cornhuskers, "just nothing serious because it looked like there was no way the he'd qualify." Miles went watched him and kept tabs on him. Hoiberg had to move quickly and put together a roster so he was not in a position to save a spot for a kid that looked like he'd be a non-qualifer.

My source also said this: "He’s a really good athlete. Raw but a D1 was player for sure."

Why wouldn't they just reach out to the kid directly?

The JUCO coach played 10 guys and always seemed to want to get all of his players into a D-1 program. I think he is just doing what he thinks is the right think to do. It appears as if he just wants to help all of his players even though he will never get to actually coach Lok. This to me is very admirable.

It's good advertising for the coach to use with other recruits.

Hopefully the kid wants to travel the world and gets excited about the trips to Spain and Toronto and the prospect of going to school near NYC

 

[Russ Wood]

Why wouldn't they just reach out to the kid directly?

Because the JuCo coach can provide some info about the kid other than just his abilities on the basketball court. Also, and let's not lose sight of this, the JuCo coach can also bring up some of his players in the 2020 class as well as do some networking for a future job.

TAMU and Oregon... new pains in our arse. SMH.

 

[Treeman]

Virgina Tech, Oregon St Louis and Texas A&M apparently have all offered in last 2 hours...(1:30 ET)

What are 2 of 4 teams actively working to become worse by hosting Omoruyi?

I’ll take basketball post season droughts for $300 Alex.

You're joke doesn't really land, buddy. Might be the wrong thread.

Every roster needs a grinder to do the dirty work....if he sits a year and gets in the gym, gets healthy and becomes a willing shooter from perimeter, he's a contributing player....just not your go to option on a rebuild with better players and upside.

Thiam came on campus at 6 9 and 170. He left at 6 9 and 180.

Does the same thing happen to Wur?

I think there is probably some resentment of SOME HS coaches toward AAU coaches who perceive themselves as the kings off the high school world and recruiting offers.

Could be, and good for him if he is, but most of these guys care most about making connections so they can get a big time job.

The resentment of some high school coaches towards some AAU coaches has always amused me. Almost every AAU Coach I've ever met IS a high school Coach.

To the best of my knowledge, Wur played for an independent travel team and not on one of the three shoe circuits.

Wow. I hope we get him. Seems like everyone jumped on the bandwagon after Pikiell offered.

 

[Knight Ed]

Article says he has visits to Oregon and Hawaii lined up.

[knights1212]

I wonder if we will even get a visit as he now has so many schools after him.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

He’s not coming here.

 

[CollegeAve]

Hawai’i?

 

[bowlgoal]

He’s not coming here.

Doesn’t sound promising. Sucks.

 

[bowlgoal]

Hawai’i?

Free trip out there if an official.

 

[higgins3]

Any other 19 recruit Rutgers is after?

 

[Russ Wood]

He’s not coming here.

You sir are correct. Lok Wur cut his list to five schools the other day and they are: Creighton, Hawaii, Oregon, Texas A&M and Virginia Tech..
