Zags Article on Doucoure

Yeah outside of here i never saw anything about reclassing.

Also Doucoure seems like hell fit right in defensively. Shoots a good clip in HS albeit low ppg.

I hope we can land one or more of the following: Isaiah Mucius, Naz, Mathis, Tavon Jones. we also have 6'11 PF joining us this weekend a 4* for a visit. Name slips my mind.

This will set up on the right path.

Do we actually have this young man locked up ? But it sounds as if he could use another year at the HS level to develop his offense. And ... can he shoot free throws ?????
 
We need a grad transfer big or a late minute swing to us next year. Gettys gone is gonna be tough. Doorson/Diallo and the boys just arent talented enough at the big spots.

My apologies he was there Saturday at Minny. I thought i saw a giant behind our bench.
 
2019 Qudus Wahab, a 6'11" four star from Va visited last weekend and was offered.
 
seems like just a lot of wishful thinking and assuming...RU is in big trouble next year if he doesn't reclassify

He is not reclassifying. Well see what happens in the off season. The team still has a lot of ball to play, and Doorson will get his minutes.

Is it a grades issue why he won't play in 2017-18?

If the reason is he isn't ready why would we want him to play?
 
That wasn't nice to do that to Paul Malcahy. That could be your future team mate, Doucoure.
 
We just have to wait until the fall of 2018 but Doucoure is very good. He impressed me last Saturday at Kean. Our staff is working on recruiting constantly. I trust they will add a big guy for next fall.

Mods (folks) here and elsewhere have mentioned it's possible as an option that he reclassifies to 2017......if we have another Gettys option as a 5th year this summer (there are plenty of irons in the fire), then we can go that route......RU is fine either way, not concerned at all....staff has too many connections to not come up with a viable option.
 
I always worry on both football and basketball when we get a commit that is coming in 2 years. Because we haven't been a successful team I worry a perennial top 25 team will sweep in late and steal the kid from us.

If he can't sign an early LOI until next fall's early signing period there is worry that if he blows up this summer in AAU ball that other schools can steal him.

It appears that UConn, Pitt, SHU, and St johns are in on him too. What happens if a Villanova , Georgetown, or Notre Dame offer as well? Coming from a religious hs he may be steered to a religious based college if he blows up recruiting-wise over the next 8 months.

The good thing in hoops is--usually--once a kid commits other teams back off. There isn't too much poaching. Hopefully that happens here. We only have to keep him verbally committed until November when he can sign.
