Have you seen him play? i have not seen thatch play. so i have remained quiet on thatch. from reports sounds like a nice player. that said, again, just based on reports and comparisons from people that have seen him play, maybe a notch below the likes of goodwin and french, thus it does puzzle me that we rushed to get a junior verbal from him. likely lots of time to decide. but thus far from a recruiting standpoint, ford has been good so i have to assume he knows what he is getting.

Can't have it both ways that we offer kids early but don't want to actually accept verbals from them. Personally I'm thrilled to have kid ranked in the 150-250 range that was getting a lot of interest from programs like Memphis, k-state, Arkansas, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorydays2013 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Do players talk to the team before they commit to be sure an offer is still on? I would assume so, just wondering if some of our lower calibur recruits would try to jump on right away while they can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Thatch needs to develop his guard skills. Right now he overpowers people. If he can do that, he'll be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids understand this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I know some poster mentioned that Moore from George mason would be similar to Goodwin but I think Thatch compares more to him. Same size and game. Goodwin is taller and bigger with a better shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
