It's amazing how a recruits attractiveness goes up the minute they go the prep route......never fails. No loss here. He wasn't good enough for us. ps--have you seen the Tulsa staff? One of the dirtiest of all-time. Haith is the head coach, and he just got fired for being a cheater. Valvano's top assistant at NC State is his # 1 guy and is in his 60's. Dave Leiato from UConn for years (probably the connection to Jere Quinn at STM) was always in recruiting issues in Storrs, and DePaul. Dennis Felton was a head coach for 11 years at the D-1 level. I think he was good enough, just not "qualified" enough to play for Siena. I'm betting the kid we signed is a better player. Taplin made 6 jumpshots all summer.

Taplin committed to Tulsa of Conference USA. another recruit who went higher. It's amazing how a recruits attractiveness goes up the minute they go the prep route......never fails. No loss here. He wasn't good enough for us. ps--have you seen the Tulsa staff? One of the dirtiest of all-time. Haith is the head coach, and he just got fired for being a cheater. Valvano's top assistant at NC State is his # 1 guy and is in his 60's. Dave Leiato from UConn for years (probably the connection to Jere Quinn at STM) was always in recruiting issues in Storrs, and DePaul. Dennis Felton was a head coach for 11 years at the D-1 level. Taplin was good enough, there's just no way he was going to be admitted to Siena (or anywhere, hence why he went prep), so they had to walk away.

He also held recent offers from Old Dominion and St Peters who offered recently

Several sources reporting, Siena offered 6-7 SF Jaelin Grant from DeMartha (MD).
3 star recruit.

I wonder why no one else is recruiting him (at least no other teams listed in. VC). At 6'7" and 165 he is a bit light for the forward position so that might be why no one else has offered yet. That said, I'm glad Siena is in with him first and like the offer. Good bloodlines and three stars out of DeMatha, what is there not to like.
