The staff was all over the south this weekend recruiting for 2020/2021. C.B. was at GDS for their showcase, while other members of the staff were in Columbia, SC and Atlanta, Ga. No word on any offers yet, but it makes me wonder if they still have any desire to add a big for the 2019 class.

They are not doing their jobs if they don't!

Offers from C of C, ETSU, Murray State. Solid group of fellow mid majors.

Any chance this kid could graduate early, like say, oh, last month?

"At 6-8, Benson possesses a 7-2 wingspan which shows in his shot blocking ability. Has the ability to stretch the floor behind the 3-point line as well"

He's definitely a high ceiling prospect. I wouldn't be surprised if some high majors get in on a player with his kind of potential, but it's good that we're involved this early.

A 'bounce back' season is our only prayer with this kind of prospect.

I would imagine he'll be someone that commits during the early signing period. We probably won't have time to bounce back. If he doesn't sign early, it would be because he's waiting for High Majors to get involved with his recruitment, which also doesn't bode well for us.

The staff has been recruiting him since last summer, I remember reading about him. Another quality target.

He seems to be leaning towards High Point and Tubby Smith.

Former 2019 recruit Mike Fowler just recently got his release from JMU. at 6'9 he'd definitely fill a need if the staff was interested in bringing him in. Kind of weird for an incoming freshman to ask for his release in July, I wonder what the deal with him is.

I, for one, think we need another big body on the team this year.

6'8" Jalen Williams is leaving Furman, and is immediately eligible for a year as a grad transfer.

Numbers less than impressive, his PT actually went down from SO to Jr year

I'd sign him today if he'd come. Good size, tough on the board, shot blocker. As a grad transfer, he'd have the mature strength in the post we need badly. Looked at some video and strong Hawk Yeah!
