At what point do you think we will see SPU entrees. I suspect after the conversations with Mason are over.?

At what point do you think we will see SPU entrees. I suspect after the conversations with Mason are over.? Good question. The timing is an always strange to me. I would think your presumption is correct but last year we lost Juju last day the portal was open. This year the portal closes May 1st. It’s amazing anytime you refresh verbal commits there are more and more entries. |

I believe JuJu was going to stay but was offered the money late and he took it. Most going into the portal now do not have offers as yet. Many will lose out. There is enough bad info on NIL offers to demand more clarity before accepting. So no school is safe until after deadline for transferring.

Peacock agree 100%. And that was always my thought in what happened with Juju. Which even in todays age is still a violation. You aren’t supposed to be able to recruit/offer kids that aren’t in the portal but we all know how that goes. Fingers crossed until 5/1.

When you hear that an agent is recommended before you entertain a NIL, you know there are issues. And in addition, the agent will get his cut.

What I find fascinating is that the schools mentioned in these tweets, are basically the same schools. I think the algorithms are such that it's a default setting to offer ANY player. Face it, the tweets that you have illustrated are far and away more offers than the player EVER received coming from HS. I'm sure schools have an algorithm to automatically offer player xyz.

Perusing the portal 4 names caught my eye. Rafael Castro 6’9 from Providence who went to Dover hs and was recruited early and hard by sha b4 his recruiting blew up as senior. Zarique nutter 6’6 guard who was a peacock then left for n Illinois. Kind of remember that there was a problem back then. Akil Watson 6’9 Arizona st local kid and crazy thought Mohamed sanogo6’9 from li Lutheran and Fla int. Don’t know if there’s a relation to adama and Hurley UConn connnection. Just out there. No info on any interest at all. And honestly who knows what we will have as available spots anyway. I suspect that some will leave either for better offers or in search of minutes

I suspect that some will leave either for better offers or in search of minutes I remember seeing Castro at some of our games when he was a jr in high school. As you say his recruiting blew up and he went higher. Nutter was a highly rated commit. There was even a youtube documentary on his high school team in which he was featured. He was here and dismissed. saintpeterspeacocks.com/news/2020/9/28/zarique-nutter-suspended-from-mens-basketball-teamWhat I've learned the last couple years is anyone that I make a logical connection of being in play for us never seems to come to fruition. I am trying not to constantly check verbal committs but it is tough. 35 more days until the portal closes. |

Young alum. U are so right. I always look for kids who might have had a connection to us or the area but u never know who the staff has connections to or what they might know about a player in the portal. Who knows how Perkins woods houge showed up here this year. I too have I think never hit on one that’s why we pay for tickets

The academy of art? My daughter got her mfa from there. In San Francisco. Didnt even have a team then about 20 years ago. They play usf occasionally. Their roster has been a mishmash of transfers jucos and the assorted unwashed. We should be able to beat them out but looking at the list doesn’t exactly make me want to start an nil collective
