Rick Ray down in Florida recruiting today.

[Intramural All-American]

He's recruiting at the IMG academy. Anyone have any idea who he's looking at?

[Dawg61]

Probably Oliver Black since he plays for them. Checking in on him I guess. Hope he adds 2 more shooters while he's there too.

[Intramural All-American]

Ah I didn't realize he was there. Scout shows him as being at Wingfield.

Little hijack here...

I've heard how bad RR's recruiting has been, but I checked it out a little myself.

Oliver black offers include oklahoma, OM, Tulane, and Wichita st.

Maurice Dunlap has an OM offer and also LA tech.

Demetrius Houston has offers from Alabama, auburn, and seton hall.

Fallou ndoye had offers from Nevada, USCw, and Virginia tech.

While none of these are game changers, they are solid players. When you consider we're getting a walk on the quality of elijah staley and Travis Daniels is already performing well in practice, I think we're (myself included) being too tough on RR. Next year's team will be much more talented and deep than this year's team.

Basketball recruiting websites are a joke. He transferred.

Shhhhh. They all suck.

Zero shooters outside of the rookie Dunlap and we still aren't using our 13th scholarship. Why? We will have 4 rookies playing next year so basically we are already down to 8 guys that have played college basketball before with 3 of those being Davis, Bloodman and Thomas. Are we just assuming we'll have zero turnover? Like that's happened. Ever. Plus we are always good for an injury or four right?

Unless there's some good shooters still out there, I'd rather actively recruit a transfer (known commodity) or two if someone on scholarship leaves

Works for me as long as they can play right away.

[Coach34]

We didnt have any turnover last year that I remember after the season

[C222]

I believe Dante Scott is at IMG as well.

[smootness]

I believe Dante Scott is at IMG as well.

He is, and I believe he could end up being a steal. Seems like he has Craig Sword-type athleticism with better size, a much better outside shot, and a higher basketball IQ.

[Corey♥DemDawgs]

IJ Ready & Jacoby Davis have shown flashes of being legit shooters, more game experience for both will benefit us soon.

[starkvegasdawg]

He heard they have a 5'6" shooting guard he wants to look at.***

Ray just tweeted this: @rickray1
I just saw our future Bulldog, Oliver Black, play down at IMG. LOVED what I saw, a long, athletic big that chases rebounds and affects shots

Isn't this a violation? I didn't think you could mention recruits by name until after you received an LOI?

[Intramural All-American]

He has already signed in November.

[HailState39110]

I figured that must be the case. Wasn't trying to be Bracky just was curious

Not from April-July but I include Steele, Lewis and Applewhite in the turnover category

Well, once school starts, we SOL on turnover- you can't plan for that

I disagree. You force it. Hopefully not every year but I'd say this is a year you need to. Ray can't just hope it doesn't happen. He can not afford to not have a full 13 man roster next year. Be proactive not reactive.
