Kelly's brother, Rich, was Cheshire's PG last year - Caleb clearly got the better of him when they matched up in the NEPSAC AA tournament last spring, but Rich had a very nice debut for Quinnipiac today. Apparently some St. Luke's players were in attendance as well, presumably including 2019 PG Jonas Harper, in whom we have shown interest. Holy Cross connection at St. Luke's, too - coach is Tony Newsom.

Interesting that John K went to our game rather than his brother’s There were other recruits with Kelly

My bad - Q game was this afternoon, not last night, so Kelly the Younger probably saw both.

Haven't successfully recruited anybody from NMH in a long time (Jave?). . . . We watched Greer in open gym recently, appear to have serious interest. Greer with a triple double on Sunday . . .

Setting aside the nice 10 assists for a minute, you have to think there is something special about a point guard who has such a nose for the ball that he gets 14 rebounds in a game.

Puts me in mind of Torey Thomas, who had great rebounding intelligence - despite his size, TT averaged the same number of boards in his career as Tim Clifford.

Many guards in the RW era rebounded very well, KH and Brian Wilson to name 2 others

Many guards in the RW era rebounded very well, KH and Brian Wilson to name 2 others As a freshman Big Tim played sparingly (261 minutes) but averaged 10.4 rebounds per 40 minutes. As a soph-junior-senior his averages were 7.4, 6.4, 6.8 rebounds/40. Clearly he became a more experienced, skilled, and savvy player but his rebounding numbers went down. An outside observer would question his rebounding but those who know the team plan that hchoops points out would not. A contrast might be Tim Kempton of Lehigh: it seemed to this inexpert observer that while he was an exceptional player, his teammates did do everything they could to ensure that he got the rebounds.

Another snippet of Tabor. Love the quick release on the catch-and-shoot. Needs to eat his Wheaties.

I'm assuming (but I'm not sure) that this is a 2019 recruit.

On to the short list he goes . . . gally is a nice player (as was colby giacubeno in his day!) that is skilled and would fit in nicely with the program identity that carmody has created. part of that identity, cutting across princeton, northwestern, and hc, is skilled bigs who might not wow you with their bulk or athleticism, but that can shoot and pass the ball, i.e. faw and grandy. if gally stays on our radar, i'll try to check him out at some point this season.

Some highlights of Cole Prowitt-Smith's performance in recently completed Zero Gravity tournament. We appear to have some serious interest.

I have followed both Crossports and the Bucknell Fusion board for several years and rarely have seen both schools recruit the same player. Anyone have thoughts on the reasons why?
