Apparently 2012 target, Joel James of Dwyer HS, is a teammate of Gathers on the Latin America team.  Hopefully he is in James' ear!

Just cause kids feel dissed by just about anything these days, we should note that James spells his first name Joell (he corrected a Scout  wonk during his unofficial at UCLA last week)...

Gathers had a big game today against the USA team with 28 points 8 rebounds.  I believe he was matched up with Andre Drummond much of the game.

Way to go, Bayou Bull!

I am looking forward to Richardo joining us in 2012.  I would like see him hit the 20 rebound mark at least once during his freshmean year.

I was thinking the same thing.  It's going to be great seeing SJU landing some McD's AAs

Do I remember that it was mentioned (before he verballed)
 that Gathers considered switching to 2011

Is there any chance if true that He could arrive in Dec 2011 ?
I remember Dave insinuated it once.

That particular situation was squashed awhile back.

In SJ's history, we've had our share, but I predict coach and the staff will eventually be landing McAA's at a similar rate to the schools that historically have the lion's share of McDAAs such as NC, Duke, UCLA, Kentucky, and a few others.  We'll go from 2nd tier up towards the top tier.

Possibly, but I'm not so sure.   In 7 years at UCLA, Steve signed Baron Davis, Dan Gadzuric, JaRon Rush, Ray Young, Jason Kapono, Ced Bozeman and Evan Burns (whom the NCAA stopped from playing at UCLA).   7 in 7 years.    And remember, his mentor (and advisor on this team) Gene Keady coached his way to the hall of fame at Purdue while nabbing only FIVE McDs in a quarter Century (Russell Cross, Troy Lewis, Kip Jones, Glenn Robinson and Michael Robinson).

One thing to remember about the rate of McDs at Duke and UNC, etc, is the number that are McDs only BECAUSE they were signed by those schools.   Neil Fingleton?  Michael Thompson?  Eric Boateng?  Taymon Domzalski?  Greg Koubek?  Serge Zwicker? Vasco Evtimov?
A lot of superior players have been displaced by tobacco road recruits over the years....

He certainly was. Amir Garrett, surprisingly, was also pretty large.
