Elijah Minnie - michaelf - 03-10-2014 03:21 PM
Saw this recruits name mentioned, classic late bloomer, did some research found some interesting tidbits:
Quote:MVPs, all-tourney teams
The WPIAL doesn't pick an MVP or all-tourney team from the WPIAL championships. So I will. This is solely from the championship games.
BOYS Elijah Minnie
MVP - Elijah Minnie, Lincoln Park (pictured). I know, I know he's 6-8 and 7-8 inches bigger than every Monessen player. But still, a triple double in a title game is rather impressive no matter who it is against. He had 20 points, 16 rebounds and 11 blocks. I will always remember one of those blocks ending up in the third row of seats.

Otto Porter?
RE: Elijah Minnie - KRB - 03-11-2014 11:57 AM
Did some checking and looked around, of course all players look great in a highlights tape. Otto Porter was who I was reminded of. I'm not saying he will be as good as Porter, but he reminded me of him.

@Keithhug77 @TheReal_MrLP_5 I can dig that dream, Would make the 2014 class complete....
RE: Elijah Minnie - thagr82008 - 03-11-2014 03:08 PM
Has nice skillset....will fit right in to what we want to do next year....run run run; score & block shots....We will be the most exciting team in the nation!
RE: Elijah Minnie - holyterror - 03-11-2014 04:45 PM
He can dunk, I'll give him that. Looks like he's still growing. Doubt we need him shooting the 3. Does he play d or just block shots? Also, he had a good passing point guard feeding him.
Dumb question tho-scholly available?
RE: Elijah Minnie - MemphisTgrsFan - 03-11-2014 06:45 PM
I am confused. Did he verbal or not?
RE: Elijah Minnie - macphil30 - 03-11-2014 06:55 PM
His offer list is not impressive,but he may be a diamond in the rough

You're being nice. That list is trash.

True,but we've been beaten by schools like that before for players.
RE: Elijah Minnie - Bluebeard - 03-11-2014 10:52 PM
Dude is not good. Why are we offering a player like this? Not a good look.

Everybody needs good hard working role players.
RE: Elijah Minnie - MemTGRS - 03-12-2014 01:07 AM
Before I write more, I will be as pre-emptive as possible ... I've read many times "It'll work its way out, blah blah blah", but the math of it all (as well as this great Class of 2015 I read about), I simply don't know how we can sign another person to this class unless there is a mass exodus ... and that is not a good thing either if does happen.
RE: Elijah Minnie - macphil30 - 03-12-2014 07:26 AM
Does seem as though we are going after a bunch of non blue chippers though.
RE: Elijah Minnie - cmt - 03-12-2014 07:29 AM
There is plenty to criticize and complain and second guess Josh about, why do any of us think we know more about current players, recruiting, how many scholarships we have, will have, won't have, need and what player's futures look like than Josh does?
Do any of you really think Josh can't even count?

About time, because every good recruit (especially role players) doesn't have to be on Rivals.com top 100 list.

Go through this every year. Some people must think that he can't count well. Last year we had 3 players transfer and one player became a grad assistant and there was plenty of room for the recruits. Not saying anyone is transferring but you never quit recruiting.
