REALLY? We have offered 1000 players for one year? Seems like we are shooting in the dark (just a bit) if that is true.

It's a joke my friend. But we do have a lot of offers out there.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

Verbalcommits.com has us with just over two dozen offers out for 2016. I imagine a few are shots in the dark at like aim high targets. A few are contingency offers and about a dozen are offers that we have a shot at.

We need commitments. All of those Loaded VA kids we offered are piling up tons of offers in recent weeks. We moved over to River City Reign and those kids are blowing up as well. Now we have branched out to Nova, Texas and beyond.

Pretty quiet.

Coach Jones was up in Richmond this weekend to look at many of the Team Loaded players (as were VT, UVA, ND, MD, VCU, Georgetown and a host of other schools). ODU is definitely working on the recuiting trail. JJ says he is feeling fine and getting stronger every day.

Thanks for the good news about Jeff.

FWIW, we offered him months ago. He was in town at the 1st leg of the EYBL, Team Final I believe.

Just showed up on VC today, FWIW

what other schools are offering/interested? since he's a 4* I suspect a lot.

He's our top priority at PF.

^ damn you're good. I hope for our sake you guys decide you have enough depth at PF so you let him come to us.

We currently have one starting caliber PF (true SO this year), and one who could be good if he gets into shape. We have zero PF depth. Our C is really a PF, but he's a SR this year anyway.

Not all 5 star recruits went to the pros after their freshman year this past season. In truth, many did. But to use an example close to home, McAdoo was 5 star and stayed a couple of years at UNC.

All this might be moot, but I don't understand why we would accept a home visit knowing we had no shot at getting this guy. What good would it do us? We're not going to brag to other recruits that "we got a home visit with so and so" and argue that they should look more closely at us. No, you either get the guy or you don't. And what's the kid get out of it? Nothing. I would hope we're not taking "charity" home visits from anyone we're recruiting.

My guess is Jones and company think they have a chance. That's all that matters, not what a group of anonymous message board users think.

Bam received an offer from Kentucky today. They are going hard after him and his AAU PG Dennis Smith Jr.

Both are going to NC State.

Just for the record, it looks as though we do have an actual offer out to Matt Coleman, who tweets that he is "wide open" in his recruitment. So do a lot of other schools.

Very impressive group of schools there. Can't blame him for picking any of those schools... except whatever school that hideous maroon logo belongs to.

he probably told them he wanted to play at least 2 years of college ball. turned them off.

Calipari is different than every other coach. He comes into play at the end of recruiting periods, that's one reason why top players keep their options open.

UK will offer probably next summer.

He wants to see what everyone else is offering before he opens up his Giant UK chekcbook.

Of course. It is absurd to believe that Calapari could be cheating.
