Nope that's not normally a good thing.

Or it could be a good thing.

I think he's waiting on WKU who's waiting on someone else.

That guy may be Dazon Ingram. WKU folks feel good about him from some stuff I’ve seen posted.

My thing is, we’ve known since September that we’d have 2 extra spots to fill with the one and done addition of Bathurst and then Bell becoming immediately eligible right around the time preseason camp started. So, is it really about keeping things close to vest or is it that we aren’t having that success in recruiting that is really required in terms of where the current state of the program is?

There's actually a 4star 2020 PG visiting this week who may reclassify for 2019.

Also, Gonzaga got a commitment for a PG so they may be no longer interested in Ingram...

WKU is starting a trend in this league in getting decent prospects to leave HS early. I’d like to see a back court with Scootie, Ingram, Lovan on the court at the same time defensively and as far as getting to the basket. I’m just wondering where the shooting is going to come from. Benjamin is the only decent shooter on the upcoming team at the moment.

Now im definitely sure he's not coming here just kidding. Why is it top secret news orsomething. Definitely positive results on the recruiting scene.

Looking at Curt Lewis' offers, WKU seems to be the only "peer program" hes received an offer from, and they seem to be deep at guard. JSU, La Salle, Ark St and Eastern Kentucky are his other offers according to 247. Is he someone who can immediately contribute?

It's between

UAB,mtsu,wku,eku,jsu

Scorer who probably comes off the bench at point.
Just looking at a backcourt

Bryant,Lovan starters
TSG,Benjamin potential starters

Spencer and Lewis who are pretty much the same type players imho

Add Kassim Nicholson as a possibility. UAB offered back in November.

6’6 G/F out of Holmes C.C. in MS. Averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds per game; 45% from 3 pt range.

Seriously? Because VC been closed his name out with freshman guard James Lee months ago. Could be part of top secret recruiting

I have to agree. We need another big body who can bang inside and share fouls against the teams who have legit big men. Who replaces Sullivan on the current roster? No one obvious.

He played in all games for Troy and I think he played the most minutes also.

Does he have to sit a year?

Yes.

They will announce all three at once.

He's a sophomore so I'm guessing yes. Guessing that hardship waiver would be a tough sell since he's only moving 2 hours closer to home haha.

Played just shy of 30mpg for Troy last year. He's 6'7 and blocks 0.7 shots per game. I'd be excited to land him.
