Academy, formerly of St. Ray’s - who both have Big East credentials. I’ve seen Norm Roberts and the Johnnies’ staff everywhere I’ve been on the East Coast this summer. The Storm is also paying close attention to senior center Danny Jennings of Oak Hill (Va.)

Maurice Wingate of NYCHoops is reporting they have already offered Harris.The Storm may be closer to a breakthrough than we think.

LETS DO IT OMARIBurrell didnt unlock anything...yet...omari says he likes him, and if he is one of the reasons omari comes then you can make that argument...and call me crazy but i dont even think omari opens the floodgates...but we sign omari, we got a shot at lance...we sign lance, or another top 15/20 recruit, then the local kids will look at us completely different...thats when the top city kids will come back........in my opinion of course

the recruiting floodgates need to open before we become competitive...
Quote from: jumpinjohnny on July 17, 2008, 12:11:59 PMthe recruiting floodgates need to open before we become competitive...Completely disagree here. . If the coach was strong and the team over achieved... it would help open recruits eyes...If the team played competively and didn't get constantly blown out it would help open recuits eyes...If the team played a fun style of basketball it would help open recruits eyes..

If the coach was strong and the team over achieved... it would help open recruits eyes...If the team played competively and didn't get constantly blown out it would help open recuits eyes...If the team played a fun style of basketball it would help open recruits eyes..are you telling me Rutgers has a strong coach, overachieved, played a fun style of ball and never got blown out? I don't think they fit any of your criteria...college basketball is all about recruiting...Recruiting is the lifeblood of a program and there is no way to survive in the Bigeast without it..."strong" coach or not...I guess its the chicken or the egg argument but to be truly competitive you need to have some real horses first IMVHO
I'm pretty sure the name Fred Hill is not in anyone's definition of strong coach. He has somehow convinced kids to go to Rutgers...only the good Lord and those players know how.Obviously recruiting is affected by oncourt performance...but getting the talent on the floor is more important than coaching acumen in college basketball...plain and simple.
