In the second quarter it was the 6-foot-7 Hoffman’s turn. He grabbed one of his 12 rebounds for a put-back that provided Gill St. Bernard’s, No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, with a 39-16 advantage. Hoffman, who entered this season with 1,305 points, is headed to Bucknell next season.
and in the, if only it were so category:
"In the second quarter it was the 6-foot-10 Hoffman’s turn."
don't know when the copy changed
Maybe if we check the link again tomorrow he'll be 7-0".

If there was any possible way to land Sina, you can bet BU would have been recruiting him. Sina, who is a junior now, committed to Alabama during his sophomore year before subsequently decommitting. Has reported offers from Rutgers, Seton Hall, St Johns, Cinci, UVA, and a bunch of other strong programs.

Hoffman only 9 pts last night in a blowout win.I am guessing limited minutes.It seems Sina in the last few games is getting the shots and as the coaches son I guess that may explain that.

Huge win for Gill today in West Virginia over #8 Mater Dai (CA)... Hoffman gets MVP with 24 points, 13 rebounds
From twitter...
TheHoopGroup Hoop Group
Gil beats national power Mater Dei. Bucknell bound Dom Hoffman takes home MVP with 24 & 13. Alex Mitola(Dartmouth) scores 20 for Gil
highmajorscoop Chas Wolfe
Bucknell got a steal with Dominic Hoffman. Motor, rim runs, crashes, defeats box out and finishes with counter post moves. #crcbeast

Dom will be a great successor to Wilman. The question remains -- who will replace Muscala?

Well, the biggest star in this game was a big man by the name of Dominic Hoffman who will soon become a nightmare for all the coaches in the Patriot League once he arrives at Bucknell in late summer. The game was the best of the day and it really wasn’t close — Mergen Sina from St. Bernard’s coached the hell out of his team and they responded by playing harder and smarter than Mater Dei and ultimately being rewarded with a much deserved W in overtime.
Dominic Hoffman 2012 6’7 Center (Bucknell)
Hoffman might be 6’7″ but he plays 6’10″. High energy player with a motor to match. Crashes offensive boards. Runs rim-to-rim. Blocks a lot of shots with his timing and long arms. Hits 18 footer. Has post moves and counter post moves that he uses to score consistently down low. Excellent in the two man game with either Jaren Sina or Alex Mitola all night. Would Not Let His Team Lose! Finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks. Outstanding performance of the day (along with Kris Jenkins).

Agreed. It seems like he shows up in big situations and puts up some impressive numbers. 25 and 17 is pretty beastly.

I do not actively follow the recruiting posts on this forum, so I am looking for some input from those of you who do...Would I be correct that Hoffman sounds like more of a PF than a C, and thus a potential PF replacement for Willman in two years? If so, do we have any centers signed for the next two classes who could potentially replace Muscala and Fitzpatrick in two years?

Just my own thoughts:
1. Yes, Hoffman appears to be more of a PF, although if the BU press release on the signees is accurate he could be as tall as 6'8". With his size and skill set, I imagine he could hold his own at the five against almost all PL centers.
2. Currently there are no centers signed. Need to sign at least one, if not two, from the current H.S. juniors. Fitzpatrick, however, is only playing his second year - even though he is an academic junior - and could return to play center for the Bison for a year after Muscala graduates. No idea if that will happen but that might be an attractive option for him if offered a scholarship to return for a final year and a chance to earn a Masters.
