I am guessing here that the list of schools appears to cover offers and inquiries. Many players and families confuse an inquiry or early letter with recruiting interest. He might have offers from all of the schools, but I am not sure about that. Happy to discuss offline Yes, that's my thought as well. I appreciate the clarification

We offered, but don’t think we were involved Top 2 for us were Boston and Bryant in that order With one on board it would be great to get Bryant Green on campus for homecoming but it is very tough competition with a handful of programs This weekend will be another big one for recruiting I hope we land one of the two, plus Green
the staff is everywhere

Do you just mean in the last 2 weeks that Boston and Bryant are out top 2 recruits? I'm surprised that remembering some of the names and resumes we've seen in the last few months that these two, although fine recruits, have been our two top targets for 24's? Next, I'm familiar with Boston and Green (who I like a lot) but refresh my memory on recruit Bryant. Is that his first or last name, between f-ball and b-ball I've lost track of this recruit. Could you refresh my memory, is he a big?

I referenced our top 2 PG options were Tyler Boston and Taj Bryant Both run an offense, defend, and shot the three- each element critical (historically) to a Paulsen offense. They have been the top two all summer- getting Boston is big time
We all like Green and I heard he had a great visit, but he has some other hoop interest from Auburn, Richmond, an N Ky, where his dad played. Fingers crossed
I am guessing a big is next and possibly another wing depending on Green

I was going to say Coval had the most offers of any kid we have been recruiting but it looks like that honor goes to Brandon Jennings. He has 25 including very recent back to back offers from VCU and Louisville.

I believe that this is good news. Taj can play either the point or a two. He is 6’2” , strong and athletic with multiple skills. And having played for the PSAL city champs as well on one of the best grass roots teams, he has proven that he is a winner.
(Kham and Jave have to educate the team’s website people as to the correct name of their college.)

(Kham and Jave have to educate the team’s website people as to the correct name of their college.) I loved the brief videos available of him in action. Physically, he looks like a kid who can step in on day one. I didn't dig into an article I saw about IS8 but it said he was either MVP of the championship game or of the season. I believe IS8 has been around for a long time in NYC and is a very competitive spring/summer league for high school kids. I'd love to see him become a Crusader.

Looks like IS8 is a spring and fall tournament. The latter is going on now.

This program is in great hands In 23 we truly will surprise the conference 24 and beyond will be exciting times for hoops
How long ago was it that we competed for talent with the A10, MAC, and a few other top 150 programs
Shooting high with a head coach that can coach
The environment is better

IMO, the only semblance of a rivalry for HC within the conference was when Willard and Flannery were coaching HC and Bucknell.

HC offeree Nick Coval commits to Davidson. Coval plans on redshirting next year at Davidson. Kind of surprised a school with the academic reputation of Davidson allows redshirting.

From nerr:
Chuck Hare 6’9 (Project Triple Threat/Kingswood-Oxford School): Hare is a high-motored big man with finishing touch and rim protection ability. He played an integral role on Kingswood-Oxford’s 16 win team this past prep school season.

A nice addition to the roster. A very nice addition. A lot of Crossporters will wake up to see this and think that they are still dreaming.

Let me know when the NLI is signed, though I'm optimistic that Dave Paulsen's the kind of coach players won't back out of their commitment.

Let's tap the brakes a bit . . . Hare has no VC page, and haven't seen evidence of any other offers. NERR ranks him as the 24th best prospect . . . in Connecticut. Not ranked in the Top 40 in New England.
I'm confident DP knows how to spot potential in and develop bigs. But Hare may be closer to a project than a savior.
