Welcome aboard Jacob! By the way, that's BU Terrier to be Javante McCoy in the background. So - do we know for certain that Jacob is getting that last schollie?

Last July, Northern California basketball was reporting, that he had interest from Boston U, Penn, Dartmouth, Holy Cross. _____________________ That said, nobody has yet narrated of what he was doing, basketball-wise, during his junior and senior years of high school. He went to a Bob Hurley camp as a rising junior, was recognized with a most improved player award, and then basically nada until last summer and then Phillips Exeter.
Perhaps, given the limited playing time and exposure, he's seen as a diamond in the rough.
His mother has a PhD.

"committed to a scholarship offer from Holy Cross" according to his coach

I read in another article that Lucas is Jacob's brother--think Lucas is two years younger
Jacob may be a late developer, physically-----I saw in an earlier article that he was 6-4, 143 lbs---pretty thin then

Interesting names in there. Nick Macarchuk (must be his grandson), Chris Herren, Jr.
And there was a freshman Samuels, playing for Franklin HS. Methinks he's Jermaine's brother, as he is from that town.

The photo with the article is not the same as the one on the right side, which is the correct one.

Thanks for spotting that, hoops. BTW, with all these posts, could someone please post a list of signed recruits for next year? (It would be nice to have all the names and stats in one place.) Thanks.

Don't get how 6 in one year makes any sense whatsoever. CBC must be hoping to go out with a flourish after his 6th year. If that's the way it plays out, he'll likely leave an empty cupboard.

Interesting. Will this be the last year for recruits? Yes, there will be 6 frosh players in this next class. However, there are more than 6 players on a team and I wonder how you know what the other players (none of whom appear to be known by anyone else) will be on the team in 4 years? If you don't yet know, how can you say the cupboard will be bare? HC92, Thanks for listing all 6 recruits in one spot for me!

6 recruits? Some desperation there?

6 recruits? Some desperation there? Why? It makes sense to fill all available spots if the talent is there. IMHO, a scholarship not used is typically a scholarship year wasted.

Does this make sense: (1) use the scholarships if you can sign players that you believe will be a big help to the team, regardless of the imbalance of graduating classes, (2) don't use the scholarships just for the sake of using them if you don't have confidence in the players. If you have,say, two open spots but don't see anyone singable that you like a lot then leave the spots open. I think this is going to be a very strong class

"Singable"--maybe he can sing the National Anthem also ?

KY, I agree. Seeing all six listed above and then rechecking their videos (posted earlier) makes me say that I agree that this is a strong incoming class. Freshman year is typically an adjustment for most players in D1 ball. The women had 6 frosh this year and the ups and down, along with development, were apparent. The key is the ability to give talented frosh significant minutes and in the coming year I believe that will be the case (as it as for the women this year). I remind myself and others not to expect too much. As Al McGuire said "The best thing about freshman is that they become sophomores." I look forward to watching their progress toward that end.

We can always hope for the Karl Charles freshman year: 28 mpg, 10 ppg, for one (or more) of these recruits

If those who are "signable" are also "singable" it seems like we get two benefits with one recruit. No problem there. (Or might it have been a typo?)

We'll see how it plays out. While less common in the PL, kids don't always finish in the class in which they started due to injuries or transfer. If Carmody thinks a 6-person class will help us win more games than holding a scholarship or two until next year, I'm going to trust his judgment. With our luck, we'd hold a scholarship for 2018, the kid would tear his ACL in his first game and he'd be in the same class as those who enter in 2019.

I do know flawed reading comprehension when I see it, though. In my opinion, such a huge class imbalance will "likely" have that result.

With our luck, we'd hold a scholarship for 2018, the kid would tear his ACL in his first game and he'd be in the same class as those who enter in 2019. That is indeed the case. No conclusions can yet be drawn about the HC careers of the six recruits, except that they appear to be arriving with a load of talent. A few years ago, didn't Colgate have two players (brothers?) leave the school and come back after a year as a de facto redshirt? Non-injury red-shirts are are in the Pl but are not unheard of. Plus, I am not sure that having balance in every year of a 4 year span is, in itself, a benefit. In the PL it seems to be possible for some to see many years into the future and to know what will be the case in 4 years. Perhaps that e.s.p. does not extend to injuries.
