Yeah, there was very little recruiting activity this entire season. They basically offered a few juco players and that was it. Offered some local kids last year but then didn't maintain those relationships.

Lamont Evans is also in the portal.

The Recruiting Lists thread has been updated as follows: 2024 offer names have been updated, but these are still the players that Ford's staff offered. Because the recruiting cycle is so short for a new coach in the spring, I'm not updating it with Schertz's offers for this class. It is unlikely any of these players are still in play for this cycle. 2025-2027 offers from Ford's staff will remain. Most of these will become stale if they aren't stale already, but there is the chance that Schertz's staff refreshes some of them. I keep all offers listed for documentation purposes, regardless. 2024-2027 interest names for the previous staff have been removed. Remaining interest names are only players that the previous staff recruited and the new staff follows. Interests have not been updated to reflect all recruits the new staff is tracking. I will let the dust settle a bit from this period and then pay attention to the new recruits they're pursuing in the 2025 class and beyond. I still have to do updates on 2025-2027 in terms of recent offers, interests, etc. Much like the previous staff, I have not done a lot in recent months. That will be changing now.

Not Conwell. Swope and Avila Thursday.

I've searched but can't find anything about who it is.

Graves was his lead recruiter. Seems like Indiana State is still his most likely landing spot. I'm still not sure about Alderink or Birmingham, the other 2 ISU signees.

It sounds like the Dutch kid coming in this weekend would be a good get if Nitu stays committed to Graves and ISU. Max Pikaar, 6-11, 200. Very fluid stretch big. Skinny but a good fit.

Gray is official now, too:

He shot 37% as a junior. DePaul is showing interest and he's reportedly visiting Xavier soon.

"McCottry has NCAA Division I scholarship offers from Arizona State, Arkansas State, Grambling State, Indiana State, Louisiana Tech, Miami (Ohio) and UW-Milwaukee, according to WisSports." State champ. Almost had a triple double in the final. HS team went 29-1 and only lost to Wisconsin Lutheran (30-0), which has Kon Knueppel. According to West Pine Bills, he averaged 22.1 PPG on a slashline of 56%/32%/73%, with 8.8 RPG, 5.3 APG, and 2.1 SPG. Plays the 1-3 positions.

SLU is getting a visit next week from Amari McCottry of St. Thomas More HS in Milwaukee.

Sure looks like Boisvert, Gray, and Gaetano are the three recruiting assistants, and Rob Gardiner will have a position similar to what he had at ISU (Special Assistant to the Head Coach).

Oh man, you're ringing a faint bell. What year(s) would this have been?

On the last @Midtown Madness we did a very quick combination of who we'd keep from each roster and ended up with: Avila Swope Conwell Kent Larry Jimerson Thames Curcic Hughes Williford Nitu Birmingham Alderink The last 4 are signed HS players, Williford to SLU and the other 3 to ISU. This team would be very expensive but would win the A10. The incoming players and Curcic would be nice values to round out the roster and keep the budget somewhat realistic. I guess this also means Jaden Schertz would walk on. I also realize that we wouldn't have much positional depth behind Avila but this was an unplanned exercise.
