Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
Ryan Boyce signed a LOI with UAB then decided he wanted to walk on at Memphis. I don't know if he was expecting to get a scholarship this year but with the guys they are in with, he may not. Although not a real high level recruit, he was #230 on 247 composite in 2018.Naz wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 12:18 amRight. My question is didn't he supposedly have other D1 offers? If so, then why would someone even consider walking-on anywhere if that was the case?
Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
Boyce wanted to play for his HS coach, Penny Hardaway as well as with old teammates from the Memphis East HS team. I'm sure if Hardaway was aware of his intention to play at Memphis earlier, he wouldn't be walking on as a 4-star commit. I guarantee he gets one in the following season. That's a big difference from a kid whose been telling everyone who will listen that he has other D1 offers but those end up not being true and he ends up having to walk-on.Irse wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 2:37 am

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
I hope he gets one but not a guarantee. Depends on who else they can get to sign. They are in on about 5 guys. If four sign and Penny's son walks on on then Boyce gets one. If all five sign, then Boyce and Hardaway will walk on.Naz wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 2:48 pmBoyce wanted to play for his HS coach, Penny Hardaway as well as with old teammates from the Memphis East HS team.

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
I guess that's the difference between Memphis, a high mid-major yet national power, and Hawaii, a lower mid-major, mediocre team. Ganot got to get moving.

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
The coaches need to do a better job of keeping the fan base intrigued and hyped for the upcoming season. I understand they may be trying to keep their recruits a secret, but there needs to be something to keep the fans interested for the upcoming season, if for no other reason than selling tickets.

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
May 15th is the final day to sign. Anyone got any tidbits on players being brought in, or offered?
Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
There are 3 kids with ties to Maryknoll that are on the recruiting market right now I would like to see UH get. 1) Justice Sueing (Cal transfer) - probably the hardest get of the three... 2) Marcus Shaver, Jr. (Portland transfer) and 3) Brian Washington (just graduated has offers from UMKC and Oral Roberts). Imagine a UH team with 5 scholarship players 2 of which from Kahuku and 3 from Maryknoll. That would be something!

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
I don't think they have a shot with Sueing. He visited Ohio St. last week, so it looks like he has his eyes on another Power 5 team. Do you know if they are pursuing Shaver? He'd have to sit a year, so that might not be the best thing for UH.
Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
The clock is winding down on Ganot. Will he surprise and pull a rabbit out of the hat, or will he get coal in his stocking?

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
I'm fine with losing Sueing and Shaver... but Washington? To not even offer the kid is crazy. As of 5/2, Nevada was his third offer. Kids with D1 talent with even remotely the slightest connection to Hawai'i should always be considered in Hawai'i's recruiting trail.

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
To an extent I agree, but after looking at his video, is he what we would need right now? A 6'6 post player that doesn't show much range in his shooting, shouldn't be a priority in the recruiting at the moment.Naz wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 2:46 pmI'm fine with losing Sueing and Shaver... but Washington?

Re: 2019 Hawaii Basketball recruits?
We have three open scholarships as of right now and the guys UH are offering are landing at other schools. I don't see a recruit worthy of an offer for Nevada being below an offer from UH. I believe he is bigger than 6'6". I feel Washington would highly consider moving back to play at Hawai'i.
