If we got a player for only one year, I'd want him to be a small forward with some length and impeccable ball handling skills. Tate Hall has been playing that spot primarily, and I like him more at the shooting guard spot on both offense and defense.

Alas, judging from what I'm seeing online, it looks like Jeremiah Williams might wind up at Temple.
Still haven't given up hope though.

I came across this Jeff Goodman story (https://komonews.com/sports/loyalty-isn ... s-stay-put) about players sticking at their schools despite success. It mentioned Javion Hamlet who we recruited heavily last year. He ended up being the player of the year in Conference USA. After a slow start went on an absolute tear the second half of the season for North Texas.

Looks like we might be dipping back into the D2 pool.

Also has offers from Southern Illinois, North Dakota, McNeee State, St. Bonaventure, Quinnipiac, Southern Utah.

Apparently we're following Mullins and our AD's old university on the recruiting trail. This would make more sense from a scholarship/depth chart perspective. Also, considering his Dominican heritage and choice of picture announcing his offer, could Marques Townes help put us over the top in this recruiting battle?

Here's a 6 minute video of his freshman year highlights, which is notable for having nary a dunk. He seems fundamentally sound but definitely not an explosive athlete. In other words, the type of player Moser naturally gravitates to and knows how to use.

Here's a very good (and long) biography of Verplanken, describing his journey from the Dominican Republic to Belgium to the US.
Might want to read it if he signs with us.

Did you really expect him to include his misses in a highlight video?
