Visited Marshall -
I hope the guy that said they should expect a verbal soon doesnât know what heâs talking about. Marshall??? Youâve gotta be kidding me.
Marshall just signed the PG Pitts we were after and now could sign this kid. If Marshall can sign these kids then we should be able to sign better caliber players than we have lately. The City of Charlotte and the Bobcats being here should offset some of the excuses of âtough area to recruitâ. Our recruiting must improve or we will be completely forgotten!

Showdawg, donât you understand that all kids in this area grow up with dreams of playing in the ACC, the only conference on earth?
oh Marshall is in CUSA? oh, sorry. I just thought, you know two high school talented kids from here, going somewhere, it must be an acc school. Donât worry, weâll pick up two jucos when these guys are juniors, it will even out.
in all seriousness, with ninerreport as dead as a doorknob, I wouldnât know if we had let off of this kid, if he was our main target, whatever.
He just committed to South friggin Florida. ID, proceed to have a field day with this one.
weâre in a race against time. does bobby recruit before he has to leave? or does he leave before he can recruit?
Every time I dont think our recruiting efforts canât get worseâŚguh.
What bothers me more than anything is we canât even land mid level Charlotte guys anymore.

Keep in mind, we have three Charlotte natives on the roster, one of which was in the top150 for a pretty long time.
Weâve lost a ton of guys we should have had an âinâ onâŚEspinosa, Cornelius, Davila, etc⌠and weâre coming up empty other than Bowden. Not too many guys left on the radar, especially with the continued trend of high schoolers committing to schools early on.

Iâm not going to worry, we still have the late signing period, and there will be gems that pop up this season. We only have 1 to give (as of now) and maybe two. If we have two, one JUCO is okay, but if only 1 then I say we go after a High Schooler if we donât get a commitment from Keller.

Well really it isnât that hard for Stan Heath to sell South Florida. I mean when you in the Big East and have a top tier Football team, itâs easy for anyone to get caught up in the hype there. I agree that we should be able to beat USF out for a local recruit, but the Big East sell will get a recruit.
I know Iâm going to get blasted by those talking about how other A-10 teams are doing it, but it isnât like Stan Heath (or his staff) canât recruit.
Every kid grew up wanting to play for (fill in the blank)___________.
No kid grew up wanting to play for__________.
Consider this:
This years high school seniors had not even started to school when Bobby Lutz arrived at Charlotte. Since todays players grew up with Bobby Lutz coaching here, shouldnât he be reaping some talent?
Lutz could probably do a fine job recruiting in the ACC or Big East. Doesnât he have contacts at West Va., Clemson and Va. Tech. who could help him find a job there? He needs to be where he can excel, and we need someone who can get the job done here.
The other thing to consider is heâs in the last year of his contract and any future contract depends on what he does this upcoming season. Some of the recruits may know that he may/may not be here in 2 years from now.
We had some good local ones;
Dinkins, Kenneth Wylie (all-state), dre (cannot remember his name), Demarco Johnson, Jobey Thomas and Vincent GrierâŚ
I am sure I forgot some, but we get our share and they usually end being good ones.

You forgot Curt. You can throw EJ in there too.
yes, great point with Withers, he ended playing on US world championship teams. Also, Clinton Hinton, he was probably one of the best freshmen college players to ever come out of the local area.
So, we have gotten our share of the good local players. Not all of them, but for sure our share.
Kyle Church and Travis Gordon are both from NC!
:biggrin:
Dre would be Andre Davis, I think?
Transferring out of USF
I liked his game coming out of HS. He could really benefit by the redshirt year wherever he winds up. By the time he finishes up he could be a Charlie Coley type player minus the ridiculous highlights.
