Does anyone have any info on how the basketball recruits visits went? Do we expect them to commit/sign?

Today is last day to of early signing period...

Luis Hurtado has committed. Hopefully he's signing today. According to 247 sports, he had offers from Maryland, Florida St, Georgia, and USC.

Watts playing this year also opens up another scholarship the 17 too right?

We still have 2 available. With one of those, we need to get an immediate impact big IMO to replace Tosin. I'd like to see either a JUCO or grad transfer that can be counted on as a contributor next year.

Yes, he's a senior.

Sweet !

So with Hurtado committing, we can expect to have 3 true PGs on the roster for the next two seasons? Bryant, Norton, and Hurtado?

That's an awesome pick up. Where's he ranked nationally?

Yes, but I think Hurtado will play off the ball.

Hurtado will be used strictly as a SG

And keep in mind Scootie could find minutes at the 2 while Nick is still here.

Barring something crazy I'd suspect this be the starting 5 next season.

Nick
Javien
Lavender
Haha
Coke

Guessing based off our rules for great guards he is better than Norton yet not quite as good as Bryant.

Great pick up undervalued facilitator

Woohoo Dee with something positive. He looks like a pretty solid distributor for sure. Great size too.

Here's the negativity both Hurtado and Gueye will lose a star for signing with UAB

Any word on the big from last weekend? The guy from New York?

Today was the last day of the early period. Looks like he'll hold out until the spring.

Did hurtado sign?

Didn't sign Hurtado nor Calixte.
Calixte is picking up some new P5 interest.
