2018? Sounds like Corey is definitely gone then.

Where do you see 2018?

 

[dpwhite]

I can't find what year he'd be eligible to come here. Either '18 or '19 is my guess.

 

[MadRU]

Seen him listed anywhere from 6'2" to 6'4". Zags article has him 6'3" from the canaries Acedemy. 18 years old Mexican national team player.

When I see Canaries...I think Shoes Vetrone

 

[RC85]

Other offers?

 

[dpwhite]

I've even seen him listed at 6'5"

 

[dpwhite]

He's a 2018, per Zags on Twitter.

Or bullock

 

[RUChow]

Nice shot off the dribble.

 

[RickB113]

Bullock and mensah could be gone

Corey doesn’t even know if Corey is gone.

 

[RUChow]

Bullock and mensah could be gone

Awfully early on Mensah, isn't it? Give the kid a chance.

 

[RU_DIO]

Awfully early on Mensah, isn't it? Give the kid a chance.

Having a hard time envisioning him doing well. He can't shoot. Maybe he will improve but has looked bad so far.

 

[bowlgoal]

I’m sensing a few open spots and we could use another point good guard regardless of Corey. Kid has a shot off the dribble like Geo, seems relatively fast and can hit the 3 pointer. Bring him on.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

We know that there are three players that could be gone for different reasons that are scheduled to be back next year

You Keep recruiting ...period

According to Wikipedia he's 6'4

[MadRU]

Here is his video:

 

[alex13rufan]

He was 7 of 11 from 3 point range in that game.

 

[gordel1]

Can we get the PA Announcer from this game to walk-on for 2018? The current RU PA announcer I can't stand he doesn't say the full name of the players.

That's the answer. Makes no sense singling out a player

 

[BellyFullOfWhiteDogCrap]

Me likey

 

[knights1212]

The kid can certainly shoot, move & pass. He even passes well with his left hand. He would certainly be a nice addition.

 

[RUJMM78]

I wonder how Mulcahy will react.He was supposed to be the future point guard.

 

[drewbagel423]

I wonder how Mulcahy will react.He was supposed to be the future point guard.

I would imagine he would understand the need for more than one PG on a team.

 

[kcg88]

I wonder how Mulcahy will react.He was supposed to be the future point guard.

Somehow many other teams in the country have gotten two good players at one position and made it work.

Also, it's not as if Mulcahy is committed or anything.

 

[kcg88]

And after watching the video, he and Mulcahy have different skill sets. Mulcahy is quicker and a better dribbler, Willis seems to be the better shooter.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

He outplayed SHU commit Anthony Nelson. I like that we are the first to offer.

 

[RutgHoops]

I know nothing about the kid but he just went 27/11 against a couple of kids playing D-1 ball next season: Nelson (SHU), Joseph-Bryan (Manhattan), de Sousa (Albany)

Also went 13/6 in a win against Simi Shittu's (Number 8 prospect in 2018 class) Saxtons River squad.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

RIght now...in my book, if another ship comes open, I would like it to spend on another front court guy

Next year
Sr....Doorson
jr.....Carter
So...Doucoure
Rfr...Johnson (I am assuming he redshirts)

I would NOT mind signing a big guy, and specifically get him to redshirt unles Doorson is the one who doesn't come back next year due to medical reasons

Then...class of 2019 we sign ONE ...hopefully Eric Dixon

If two become available....then I would spend the second one on a PG

Why do you say that based on this offer? Need to always be out there recruiting. Ideal situation is to bring in a point guard while Corey stays.

 

[rubaseball78]

I wonder how Mulcahy will react.He was supposed to be the future point guard.

Maybe his reaction should be to commit then.

 

[RutgHoops]

Willis was First Team All Tournament with Rasir Bolton (Penn State commit), Tre Mitchell (Ga Tech, Kansas State, Tennesee, Wake, etc offers), Keshawn Curry (VCU commit) and Koreem Ozier.

[4theknights]

Pike has stated we need guys who can shoot, pass and dribble. This kid fits the bill. On a broader scope, you have to like coach and staff and the recruiting effort. (3) kids all signed for 2018 and still pursuing more!!!

 

[RutgHoops]

The '19-'20 team has zero point guards currently on the roster (unless you count Baker as a PG). I really like Mathis and Harper, but the pursuit of McClung shows this staff sees the need for a PG in the '18 class. I agree.

 

[knights1212]

I think you can bring in Willis as well as Mulcahy. I think Mulcahy can play SG, PG and SF because he passes and can shoot very well and he is 6'5" tall. Mulcahy I believe is a class of 2019 guy.

 

[higgins3]

I think we have at least two scholarships open after this year.

Also, a poster mentioned how all Harper could do was shoot. Perfect!

 

[lilphilw]

He made a couple free throws in his highlights. I'm sold!
