I called the St Vincent St Mary basketball coach and asked if we could arrange a night in Worcester for the original Shooting Stars and the current version of the Irish to attend a Holy Cross game and play against Worcester Academy as a prelim. Next call is to Eddie Reilly and then to Holy Cross Could be a way to bring the Buckeyes back to the Hart Center so it works for everybody No prelim allowed under NCAA RULES. WA and St. V’s players are considered “recruitable players”. It would be a recruiting violation, big time.

Well, it sounded good for a few hours. Would a St V-StM team visit to a game be any kind of stupid NCAA violation ? .

Wills has a minuscule Twitter profile. A total of four tweets over five years.

I believe that HC92 was referring to scholarship players only, as was I. With freshman walk on Declan McIntyre, that makes 15.

Preliminary game could be played at Worcester Academy But was informed that it would be difficult for the school to come east in the next few years-so an interesting idea that wont happen

This is a bit strange to me, especially the timing. Did CDP extend the offer the other day while flipping burgers on the grill? Looking forward to hearing more on the whole process.
Backcourt getting a bit crowded.

Backcourt getting a bit crowded. Agree. Definitely a strange recruiting story / commit that came out of seemingly nowhere. Here's what I've been able to uncover -- He was offered on June 25 ( http://instagram.com/p/Ct6onjtOvgc Made an official visit to HC last Friday. http://instagram.com/p/CuHpxOZOWi2 Announced his commitment on his Instagram this past Monday. The school he attended is "Shining Stars Sports Academy" -- shiningstarssports.com/our-staff/Appears that his father and mother have leadership roles at the school. What I'm curious to learn is how we found this kid, what it his connection to HC, and why were we seemingly the only school that was after him.

Thanks SoV.
A little irony with Boo Williams, too - Milan Brown's Michael Crotty, of sorts.

Well, DP said that he tried to recruit Wills for Mason So he has known him for at least 3 years.

Does this recruitment follow the pattern established by prior pursuits of other actor/athletes?

It would have helped if we saw the offers he had. I tried to find him in 247 data base for'23 recruits and didn't see him listed at Mason or Wichita. But maybe it depends on what year he was offered, 3 yrs ago or "trying to recruit" means something other than "offered". I'm with Dave, if he's the guy who's going to run the point for 4 yrs it's worth it. If not I'd probably want to save it for next year and get multiple bigs. Hopefully he's a superstar that everyone else missed.

Apparently, JMU offered Wills, as well.

Will we see an announcement or update to '23/24 roster... or not because he didn't sign NLI?

He is indeed an actor- and does a nice job in the Shooting Stars movie about Akron St Vincent St Mary High School/LeBron James The filming of the movie took him off recruiting list and in the end was available.

By the time summer-session 2 starts for hoop team, I’d think we will have an announcement. He would be accepted officially by then, yes?

5 days ago, Wills posted on Instagram, “Holy Cross? Not committed”. 2 days ago that changed to “committed “.. Just to keep everyone up to date on his Instagram page… (no clue how to post them here!)
