TaLBErt Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Xavier Tillman just committed to Michigan State. I think Marquette will go after French hard now. Could be bad news for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He picks Michigan State. Still some options for Wojo: Hasahn French, Jacob Epperson, Jordan Nwora among them Big East Coast Bias @becb_sbn 1h1 hour ago Don't have any inside info, but I imagine if Marquette doesn't land Tillman, they'll put the clamps down on Hasahn French. #FightMassachusetts @FightMA247 Sep 28 With Wabissa Bede's commitment to VaTech today, the #Minutemen will turn their entire focus for 2017 to PF Hasahn French (@Hasahn22). #UMass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 If I'm a player and being recruited by a school, I don't think I'd like the idea of being the fallback option because the player they really want went somewhere else. Maybe some wouldn't care but to me I'd take the school that's been recruiting me the hardest and longest, even if it is perceived as a notch lower. If a player just wants to go to the highest possible school, he should probably wait till the spring signing period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want French bad. Especially because most Marquette fans think they have him locked down. Any news on his visit this weekend? Someone with better photoshop skills than I should tweet him a picture of what he would look like in Billiken blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good example of why it's important that we don't aim for unrealistic targets. It's less of a problem (so far) under Ford, but still something the staff needs to keep in mind. Fwiw I've heard good things regarding French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextYearBill Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 From a quick review of French's twitter account, it seems like he leans towards UMASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Looks like his latest tweets/retweets are about either UMass or SLU. Hard to tell which way he is leaning right now, but I would bet those are the top two. Goodwin retweeted a tweet about him and French being a dynamic duo, so hopefully that's a good sign.

Old guy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The interpretation of tweets is likely to be (or become) a scholarly subject similar to the interpretation of the most obscure passages of the Bible, or the interpretation of the intentions of the Fed. I do not think we should sweat about it. Despite the disaster wrought by Crews, we are a good program with a good coach, nice facilities, and very highly ranked players who have committed to SLU or are red shirts. French has to see us as a real opportunity to get a lot of play time and to shine alongside others like Goodwin. I have no idea what the attraction of UMass may be to him, but I think we are a very attractive program to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMass had a really good recruiting class this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
