New offer out to 6-3 scoring PG Aquan Smart, a Chicago kid who recently decommitted from East Tennessee State. He's expected to get some bigger offers, as seen by the early interest. Can't hurt to toss our hats in the ring, but probably a long shot unless those bigger programs decide against it.

Maybe there is an AAU connection. Any hook would help.

We were at Stepinac vs Cardinal Hayes in the city tonight. Stepinac is #15 in the country and won again tonight.
We’ve offered 2021 big Malcolm Chimezie from Stepinac already and he visited this summer.
It was also reported by Andrew Slater that we were watching 2020 guard Luke Fizulich from Stepinac. We were reported to have interest earlier this summer/fall and apparently are still watching. No offer yet. Kid had 16 points and 4 assists today. He’s a 6-3 combo guard. Really good shooter, steady ball-handler, smart. Playing with top 75 PG RJ Davis (UNC) and 5-star wing Adrian Griffin (Duke) tends to make you look good. Certainly would help us in our pursuit of Chimezie.
Again, no offer yet, so we’ll see what comes of this kid. But he’s at least on the radar for us. Has interest from several other mids.

Love to see our coaches out there beating the bushes for kids. Use the break to find players

Recruit tracker is totally updated.Some recruits that are still open and are intesrting includes Ryan Meyers who has had a nice start to his season, Bol Akot, and Tegra Izzy. Also Sam Towns is making some noise and suposedly closer to 6-9 then 6-7. I am sure more recruits will continue to emerge.

I think Terrell Ard remains a target as well... another multipositional kid with a lot of upside. PSA kid like Gray.

On a scale of 1-10 how hard are we recruiting Aquan Smart? Is it just a casual 'throw your name in the hat type recruitment'?

Right now I think the interest is more on our end than it is on the kid’s. He decommitted from ETSU because he was getting HM looks and he has had Texas, Indiana, Cal, Northwestern, etc at his games since opening up. No one has made the offer yet so maybe we become a bit more attractive, but I’d imagine it’s a shot in the dark for now.

I think the recruiting board for 2020 right now is something like this:
PG/CG: Aquan Smart (OFFERED) Marty Silvera (No offer yet) Luke Fizulich (No offer yet)
Wings: Terrell Ard (OFFERED) Jayson Woodrich (No offer yet) Kazell Stewart (No offer yet)
Bigs: Sam Towns (OFFERED) Abou Ousmane (No offer yet, just got TAMU offer so may be out of reach now)
May be forgetting some but those are some that I know we've been connected to in some way or another. I also know they will explore a midyear kid if they are the right fit as well and then grads this offseason.

I wish we were still recruiting Ryan Myers from NYC who has had a nice start to the season. Another local name is Rob Brown who transferred from Academy to Kimball Union and reclassified. I assume he could play next year and was just MVP of a pretty big tournament

ETSU has been a top 93 team the last 4 years and are 11-2 this year with 5 key seniors. My guess is it would be a rebuild....and/or the coach jumps to a new school. Would be interesting if the kid plans to follow. Either way, I would like to see some more options show up...cause this one seems out of reach.

Let’s make it a package deal and bring Steve back to Siena as a coach ... has 16 more years to work in his son’s dribbling and passing skills
