Don’t worry, the Bucknell guys will be in here soon to let us know why those offers weren’t still active.

I have seen Martindale listed anywhere from 6’4” to 6’7”. Looks pretty tall in some of the more recent videos.

He clearly needs a few more sessions on the HC elongator before the extra inches become permanent.

I saw Rabonovich play at the Elite camp, and thought he was one of the best players there..He went to the hoop very well, scored of the bounce, passed the ball with authority, shot it well..He did a good job on D..and rebounded well, tough to get a good read on that because of the style in the games, up and down the court...Good size, not a skinny kid, bigger than the photo shows.. .I felt that he would be a great fit at HC, and told Coach Kennedy and RJ to sign him up!Smart men--they listened to you

Cutting through all the palaver about how the recruiting process has changed/evolved to HC's disadvantage . . . 1. It has changed/evolved for everybody, not just Holy Cross. The process is essentially the same for us as it is for our PL brethren and other low/mid-majors. 2. No change in the recruiting process is a valid excuse for why we are failing to compete with Bucknell, Lehigh, Colgate, BU, and other low/mid-majors. They are all operating under the same rules and in similar environments - they are getting it done, we haven't been. 3. Competing offers are an imperfect, but useful, gauge of a school's ability to attract the best talent. Colgate just got a commitment from Sam Thomson, a big with 20 offers, including from Bucknell, Lehigh, BU, and Penn. BU just got a commitment from Miles Brewster, who had 10 offers, including ones from Bucknell, Lehigh, and three Ivies (including Yale). This is the field we need to play on, all the time, or we are destined to be a perennial second-division team in the conference. Relying on finding kids in unexplored niches is a strategy that may work once in awhile, but not often. The best current test for whether we can play on that field is Mike Rabinovich, the big from Worcester Academy. We gave him his first high-quality offer this summer - since then Brown and three other PL schools (including Lehigh) have made offers. This is the kind of battle (especially for bigs) that we need to start winningI like revisiting these messages (great analysis/insights from WooGray) so we can celebrate these nice signings multiple times

New name. Lamaute is a 6-3 CG from Montreal - he took an unofficial visit here a couple weeks ago, I believe. Sebastian Lamaute hasn’t committed yet. Wonder if he would entertain the idea of a year of prep school to put him in the class of 2021. Good size for a pg and he looks like a physical player. I think someone posted about him a few weeks ago and commented on his minuscule % of body fat.

Cooper Creek, a 6'8" kid at Williston this year that can knock down 3's and play good defense/rebound...just sayin. I've emailed Kennedy about him....American and Colgate are interested. CC committed to Assumption a while ago.

It was. I believe he is from Douglas Ma, a small about midway between Worcester and Providence. Good for him. He is going to an excellent college.

CC committed to Assumption a while ago. Yeah, he did have D1 offers but he felt Assumption was his best option for a variety of reasons. The Greyhounds got a good one.

One time HC offeree, Jay Rodgers, gets an offer from UNO which has also been hit by the transfer bug (including our own Gerrale Gates).

Rodgers commits to UNO. Gates for Rodgers swap, just fine by me.

Glad Rodgers found a good spot. Seems like he may have misplayed his hand early but there are worse places to spend 4 years than New Orleans.

Agree completely 92
Once we offered he waited for a better offer. According to an Ohio contact he wanted Big 10 or high end MAC. He got neither, but glad we walked away because based on nothing but instincts Suggest he might have been in the portal after year one

Mousse Cissa, 6’11” teammate of Bo Montgomery, has just reclassified to the Class of 2020 and was one of the very top ranked players in the Class of 2021. If he doesn’t pick Kentucky, we may be able to put that final scholarship to great use.
