Luther Muhammed-6-4 PG Hudson Catholic, NJ - OHIO ST.

Hopefully Luther sees what's going on in Charlottesville and cuts his list to 4.

Not to mention Kent State. All we need are a couple more massacres and we're a lock.

Hopefully Luther sees what's going on in Charlottesville and cuts his list to 4.

Just because Trump supporters marched in Virginia doesn't mean they can't march in NY.

Ohio State continues to make up major ground with Elijah Weaver and Luther Muhammad, two Rivals150 guards in the 2018 class, and the Buckeyes should be in the top three for each.

Weaver, one of the top playmakers in his class, has set official visits to USC, Florida and Ohio State. His visit tour begins with a trip to Columbus on Sept. 8.

Muhammad is more of a scoring guard but is also one of the top defenders in his class. St. John’s was his perceived leader but after taking a visit to the Queens campus in June and not committing, the window is opening for another program to land Muhammad. He recently cut his list down to a group of five comprised of Xavier, Ohio State, St. John's, West Virginia and Virginia. He will make his own trip to Columbus on Sept. 1, and the Buckeyes should now be considered alongside the Red Storm as a favorite in his recruitment.

It seems unlikely that Ohio State will land both Weaver and Muhammad, but I would be shocked if the Buckeyes struck out on both.

He's thinking out loud, nothing of substance there.

Luther Muhammed's quote...
“That’s great, but at the end of the day you have to know how to coach and you gotta know how to make people better,” is repeating the mantra other coaches are putting in his ear.

It's a tough business for sure.

Early October will be fun

Early October will be fun

I don't know that "fun" is the right word. Let me know if you can still use fun after the announcement

If I'm reading the Paultzman teal leaves correctly, the fun will be after the announcementS- plural.

I'm guessing that the staff will be stopping by Hudson Catholic a couple of times during the next 3-4 weeks. Timeline is aligning with Paultz' early October prediction pretty well.

Most of these visits supposedly goes 'well.'  He didn't commit, so nothing to really see here.

I also sense he'll commit to us, but Ohio State are probably our biggest competition.

Since the football team was dominated...hopefully that soured the mood enough

Yeah I don't think football is the best recruiting-sell anyway for most ball players.  Msg a much better sell.  Mainly though, staff has to sell themselves.  I'm happy he didn't commit while there.  Hopefully we land him and solidify a solid early class.

At the rate we are going w/only 5 home games at MSG, we won't be able to tout this

The problem is for SJU to make a profit we need to sell 10,000 seats per game.  This has not been happening unless we play Duke, Georgetown or Villanova.  We must start winning to get fans in the seats and then more games will be at MSG.  Sell out carnsecca every game and more games will be at mSG.

MSG is such a great sell that recruits have been banging down our door the last 20 years. Let's hope Luther wants to stay close to home and buys into Mullins vision. Ultimately we are going to have to start winning to get the high caliber recruits. Don't have to be overnight, but must see improvement.
