True. His recruitment looks quite full.


Yes. And with most of those other teams he will be in the NCAA tournament without winning his conference. At Penn it's more of a crapshoot. Kids like to be in March Madness.

You may be just trying to be a realist - but I think Penn has plenty of merits too - 1) great education; 2) great urban location; 3) great alumni base; 4) great historic program; 5) great gym; 6) chance to be a team and league star; 7) still a pretty good chance to be in the tournament; 8) great coach and teammates. I neither choose to get my hopes up or down - will just wait to see.

2020 @mtnbrookhoops SG Colby Jones has picked up an offer from Penn

Jones was on a Yale official in April and appears to also have a Harvard offer. He was also recently offered by Georgia, Clemson, and Xavier.

He looks like a typical Donahue recruit from the highlight reels.

One advantage we have there is he attends Moon Area High School. Still a long shot but you never know.

Is that Simmons' school?
Or did he go to Mars? I used to work in that area and frequently confused the two. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Isn't Calipari from Moon Township? (Too lazy to check.)

Calipari and Simmons both went to Moon Area, like Johnson.

Robby Carmody went to Mars.

Would rather we shoot for the Moon than not be involved. Or maybe shoot for the Stars and land the recruit from Moon.

Penn was his first offer and he made at least an unofficial visit:

As I recall, the coaches really wanted him. Anybody know why he's transferring?

He wanted the coaches to call him Cormac the Magnificent but they balked.

It seems strange because he got a lot of PT. Maybe he just wants or needs to be closer to family.

- This is by all accounts unexpected. Ryan struggled to stay healthy, but started 17 of his 24 caps as a freshman, playing 28.5 minutes per game. Despite streaky shooting, he averaged 8.7 points. With the departures of KZ Okpala and Marcus Sheffield, he seemed primed for a significant role.

Entering the portal does not mean he has committed to leaving. Rather, he is declaring his intention and will gauge interest. At this time there is nothing to indicate the decision is final.

Should he leave, he would become the fifth Cardinal transfer in the last three years (Reid Travis, Robert Cartwright, Sheffield, Malcolm Allen), but the first one recruited by Jerod Haase. Stanford hasn’t had a player transfer prior to graduation since Schuyler Rimmer in 2015. -

https://247sports.com/college/stanford/Arti cle/Sta...

- Ryan was very much the jewel of the Cardinal’s ‘18 recruiting class. He arrived on campus with Keenan Fitzmorris, Bryce Wills, Lukas Kisunas, and Jaiden Delaire and was ranked as a four-star and the #68 overall player in the ‘18 class. He was a major piece of Stanford’s plans for the upcoming 2019-20 season and beyond. Ryan would be the first Jerod Haase recruit to leave the program via transfer. -

Back in 2017, Verbal Commits and the New England Recruiting Report listed the following offers for Ryan:
Stanford, Villanova, Providence, St. John's ,DePaul,Notre Dame, Boston College, Northwestern, Michigan, Indiana, Rutgers, Florida, Oklahoma, Tulane, Rice, Daviidson, George Mason, Duquesne, Penn, Yale, Harvard, and Columbia

https://247sports.com/college/villanova/Art icle/Ca...

Back in 2017, he was interviewed at 247 Sports and listed his final teams - Stanford, Northwestern, Michigan, Notre Dame, Villanova, and Yale. His brother, Thomas Ryan, was on the Yale basketball team and just graduated.

- Can you give a quick comment on each of those schools? What were the highlights of their pitches?

They all have great staffs. They're professionals, all of them. They know how to do this and have done it for a while. With Notre Dame, Mike Brey's a great guy and runs great offense at Notre Dame. Michigan is both high academic and basketball. (John) Beilein is also a great coach and knows how to develop his guards. Villanova speaks for itself coming off of a National Championship two years ago. They have a great basketball culture over there. Coach (Jay) Wright has really done a phenomenal job in building a culture of winning and respect and teamwork. Stanford's a new coaching staff, but Coach (Jerod) Haase and his staff basically put together almost a top ten recruiting class coming in 2017, which is really impressive. I think those guys have a great job of hitting the ground running over there and are poised for success. Northwestern had a historic season this year making it to the tournament for the first time, a lot of energy in the program. Coach (Chris) Collins is a really great guy, loves the game, loves basketball, knows how to use guards in his offense. Yale is shocking to some people. The Ivy League is commonly undervalued, in terms of basketball and the conference is really good. It's not as big time, show time, TV money stuff, but they have some high-level players. Coach (James) Jones and I have had a long relationship. My brother goes there right now. They're doing a great job. -

Reid Travis had taken a medical redshirt year at Stanford, and played last year at Kentucky as a graduate transfer.

West Coast Elite
2020 Clark Slajchert (Oak Park) is heading to the East Coast for 2 Official Visits this week. Clark will visit Penn on June 16-18 & Dartmouth on June 19-21. #ALLIN #WCEUA #WestCoastElite

I know nothing about the level of competition, but he apparently averaged 32 points per game on 50% shooting from 3 for his high school team this year.

Looking at Verbal Commits, Clark has another Ivy offer at Brown.

His brother Wes just finished his first year at Dartmouth.
