While Nova appears to be "late" to offer the 5* SG/SF out of Austrailia and playing at IMG Academy in Florida, I'm posting this because I am completely aware of how certain schools "offer".
The other schools that have offered the wing player are the usual suspects of Kansas, Arizona, Oregon, UCLA, UVA, UConn, USC, Duke, Georgetown, TCU, Stanford, Maryland....my guess is that every potential school in the country has offered.
I know certain offers impact other recruits and it just factors into how some schools decide when to offer and when to not offer.
I mentioned how Eric Dixon out of PA, was waiting for the Villanova offer, which essentially ended his recruitment....Now I'm not saying Nova swoops in and lands Green, but it's another indication on how far up the food chain a school like Nova and others are shooting.
Does this help with Mulcahy.....does this help with players like Hyatt.....Massoud....??
I'm not saying this has any impact, but a player that you'd figure would have an offer from Nova, just received one. As the pecking order gets reset and reorganized, we had names last spring like Frankie Policelli out of Long Island.....Samba Diallo.....and a host of others that were very high on the board of some schools....as recently as 6 months ago, Diego Willis landed an offer from Rutgers, after a strong weekend....Willis is visiting NJIT....Policelli just committed to Dayton.....Diallo went to I believe UMass....12 months ago, these were high profile names that saw their stock change last spring and summer.
So while we believe we have it all figured out as we push into this spring evaluation season and summer circuit...names will pop up on the surface, others will cool off....the best thing is to not overvalue any one player, because dominoes may fall and schools like Rutgers (Harper/McConnell/Young) benefitted greatly from a white-hot grad transfer market.....schools like Dayton get a steal in Policelli....I'm not sure if Willis is a high major or mid major player, but if NJIT is on RU's or Seton Halls schedule this season and has a 14 point, 6 rebound, 4 assist game, fans will wonder "what happened to that player"?? "He could have gone to a bigger school, maybe we can get his to transfer after this season"??
This is to make sure we don't get fooled by what name you have heard about the longest time as some sort of indication of how talented the player is....or isn't......there are mounds of talented players out there....RU is sitting in a very unique spot to finally round out the roster and stop the bleeding of not having enough talent or pieces.
Let the dominoes start to fall and let's see where kids actually do land and where they don't.....this offer for Green is one I will be keeping an eye out on, not because I have any specific knowledge on Nova or the prospect, but whether this offer changes the players recruitment or not....
