I notice you're not taking issue with 'crappy.'

Or backwater.
It's like the film Splash, when they introduce the "m0ron twins" and one of them says, "we're not twins".
(can't use the word m0ron on this site )

2017 Recruit 03-25-16 12:05 AM - Post#205303
In response to besnoah
Great that the staff is still pushing for 2016 recruits - yes please to more added talent sooner rather than later.
Maxime looks like he would be a good late recruit. Here is his midseason highlight reel from this year: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/6923970/highl ights/329...
To give some comparisons:
- He is ranked #41 in latest NERR 2016 class rankings.
- Ray Jerome is ranked #63
- Jimbo Lull who chose mess of a program USF over us is #51
- Yale's recruit Miye Oni is #40
He wad also first team Class A in New England, the same division Yale's Miya Oni was player of the year.
Perhaps most intriguing is this description:
Maxime Boursiquot, Kent – He’s most naturally suited for the wing but has the power and physicality to play either forward position. His motor and toughness are his calling cards but he also offers extremely long arms as well, making him a gifted defender.
Gifted defender would be a VERY welcome addition.

Don't see any of those guys coming to Penn but we did offer a wing named Cormac Ryan from the Middlesex Magic, an AAU team some of our guys have played for.
He's getting some interest from power schools in addition to most of the Ivies.

Asia,
Mike Jame's podcast has Harvard seriously in the running for Mr. Bamba. Is that consistent with your information?

Probably worth mentioning that Matt Donahue, Jackson's brother, also plays for Middlesex.

If he starts getting top 10 guys we may as well just quit.

Even if you don't believe me, there's public confirmation that this is true. Here's an excerpt from a Scout article with Wendell Carter's mom (another 2017 5-star Top 5 player that Harvard is aggressively pursuing):
You’ve mentioned Mohamed Bamba before and what that would look like for him and Wendell to possibly play together, have you guys talked a lot more about that with him or just in general?
Not at all, but Wendell told me that him and Mohamed have talked about it. They may be planning something or just talking about how they are being recruited by some of the same schools since they are, so they have probably chatted about it but we definitely haven’t talked really seriously about it, not at all. All they would have to say is we’re playing at the same school, that would be that. I know Wendell told me that Mohamed is very interested in Harvard. I think it would go well for Wendell and Kevin and Mohamed for either way to play together or not, but they definitely could play together because Wendell has played with Kevin in USA and they played well together and he only played with Mohamed in the Bahamas that one time but with all of their high IQs and abilities with a good coach, it would work.

Well, he's now officially legit as LeRoy beat Newark 58-50 tonight.
Chastain scored 34 (14 for 17), including 4 for 6 from three point land, and added 12 rebounds.
Newark was 28-2 heading into this contest.
Per Twitter, this kid is on official visit to Illinois State this weekend and Utah next weekend.

Doesn't seem all that interested in us.
Is that transfer possibility dead? There so many of them out there.

--When he transferred to Westtown from Saint Peter’s Prep in 2014 and reclassified, Najja Hunter (2017/PSA Cardinals) had offers from several NY/NJ area schools, like Seton Hall and St. John’s. Since then, his recruiting has gone in a completely different direction. Now boasting a 3.7 GPA as he prepares for his final year of high school, Hunter is being recruited heavily by the Ivy Leagues; so far he’s visited Harvard, Yale and Columbia, while also hearing plenty from Penn. A planned African-American History major, Hunter said he’ll take his official visits after the EYBL season with a decision to come before the 2016-17 high school season.

Chyree Walker (2017/Team Takeover) has a number of Philadelphia schools involved in his recruitment: Penn and Saint Joseph’s have both offered the 6-5, 195-pound wing out of The Bullis School (Md.), joining a group that also includes George Washington, Georgia Tech, Towson, Old Dominion and more. But it’s another Big 5 institution that Walker said has been in touch most often: “Temple. They haven’t extended an offer, heavy interest.â€
Playing on a loaded Takeover group that includes no fewer than five future mid-to-high-major wings, Walker had his best offensive output of the weekend on Sunday with eight points against Mac Irvin Fire, hitting a nifty pull-up baseline jumper and connecting on all four of his foul shots. He admitted his shot was “developing†and named that as one of two things he was focusing on this summer, along with his ball-handling.
