Elijah Gertrude offered by schools from Big Ten, ACC, and Big East They must not have seen the article 94 was talking about. I did not like that his answers to questions were all about going as high as possible and needing the coaches to see what he can do, rather than focusing on working hard and improving to be the best player he can be. It was all about “they need to watch to see what I can do” attitude. I don’t like that attitude but I’m not evaluating how good of a player he is/isn’t.

Well considering his first two offers were MAAC programs and he’s now got the eyes of P5 conference programs his play must of done a hell of a lot more talking than he did. Looks like a kid who has worked hard based off of what I’ve seen. He’s def going higher but nice we offered & keep showing interest.

Every year I fall in love with a kid that I think is really important in having a winning program. This year its 6'6" 220 forward Cornelius Robinson from Camden, NJ. Plays in the shadows of 5 star kids like Wagner and Bradshaw, but Im betting their coach knows how valuable he is to their teams success. Does all the dirty work. He's their D'Raymond Green.
To my sheer pleasure, I see Carm has already offered him, and the list of his 9 schools (which I predict triples by Christmas if he's still available) are schools we can def beat for his services IF we really show the love.
Lets get this kid an NIL deal and ensure he ends up in green & gold!!

Doesnt look 6'10" to me. Maybe 6'8". He's not bad. Not as good as the last kid we were after from Pa. that went to Delaware.

This is a kid Junkie said we should get in with a few weeks ago.
6’3” PG Justin Menard (Loomis Chaffee ’24)
The NY native has been sensational since headed to prep and has slowly been improving his stock. He’s a terrific shooter, playmaker, distributor, and competitor. Menard has a great basketball IQ, plays with great pace and is excellent in transition. When June 15th hit his phone has been ringing non-stops as multiple programs reached out. According to sources he’s heard from Penn, Pittsburgh, Siena, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, LaSalle, Longwood, Air Force, Vermont and Farleigh Dickinson.

We offered 6-8/9 Seth Joba from the Buffalo area prepping in Maine. I pegged him a few weeks ago as a kid we should pursue

We certainly seem active on the trail. So much for the narrative that this staff is lazy and not recruiting aggressively. The proof will be in the signings. If I were a kid and looked at the impact in the portal I would sign earlier rather than later to secure a spot that might not be available in the late period. But that is just me. Most top end 2* and 3* above kids believe that they are NBA bound and want the best offer possible and will hold out until the very end hoping for a better offer when the bottom line is if you are an NBA talent the NBA will find you no matter where you play.

Joba and Musiime-Kamali both took unofficial visits too. Our visits just aren’t as publicized as they were when JC was leaking every day.
