I don’t recall if we started a 2021 recruiting thread, but saw on Twitter today that we offered Garrett Johnson, 6’7†wing/forward from Episcopal:

2021 Recruiting
04-19-20 01:11 PM - Post#306377
In response to Mike Porter
We did, but it was truncated. Here are the offers that were in it:
Casey Simmons 3*/4* wing from Milton Academy (plays for the same AAU team Jarrod Simmons played for)
Noah Harris (NR) PG from Rutgers Prep (same school Jonah Charles attended)
Jack Molloy (NR - Yale Commit) wing from NMH (maybe re-classified in 2020?)
Franck Kepnnang Very high 4* Center from Westtown (same HS as TJ Berger), offered by Kansas and visited by Calipari.
Stevie Mitchell 4* PG offered by PSU, Stanford, with Villanova involved, but not yet offering.
Ed Holland NR wing from Friends Central with offers from PSU, VCU, and interest/offers from the whole Big Five (except Nova).
We also Andy Barba discussed in the 2020 thread because he might be a 2020.
Also, for locals, Garrett Johnson goes to the Episcopal in Virginia, not EA.
Anyway, it's an interesting group of offers given recent history because Penn didn't come in before these players were highly rated, they came in after the players already were hyped.

Ah yes, I felt like there was one but couldn’t find with a quick look. Thanks for reminder and bringing all relevant prospects here as well. Sorry I couldn’t find the other thread you started.
One question and note on above:
- Did we actually offer Jack Molloy? I see on Twitter he had an unofficial visit but I see no offers there or on VC. He looks like a very good player so it’s not that we wouldn’t want him, but I just don’t see an internet trail of an offer.
- As part of Molloy’s commitment announcement, he said he is doing a post grad year at The Hotchkiss School and committing to Yale (pending admission). Can kids not do a post grad year at NMH? As a prep school I kind of figured some kids were doing post grad, but I’m not super familiar.

You are correct that I was confusing the unofficial with an offer.

Definitely can do a post grad year there. He averaged like six points a game there this year... a change of scenery and more PT could be helpful...

Thanks Mike, yeah I thought it was weird a kid would leave NMH... that’s usually where kids are going to rather than leaving. Still seems like a nice prospect, but Penn’s offered a lot of big wings, so we’ll see what happens.

For those so inclined, Garrett Johnson junior year mixtape is here (and looks to me like he either dunks or hits 3’s so have to think would be a good fit for Donahue’s offense!): http://www.hudl.com/v/2DDdMZ
If you want to check out his junior year stats, you can see them here: https://www.maxpreps.com/m/athlete/garrett-joh nson...

Think that's Llewellyn's school right?

It's a little confusing but Llewellyn went to Virginia Episcopal School, not Episcopal High School.
Columbia's Asa Shannon did go to Episcopal High School though

Is this the Episcopal that John McCain attended? I think it's in Alexandria.

From my observation, certain Ivies use certain prep programs as their stash spots. Yale had success with Makai Mason at Hotchkiss in the past. Harvard has had success stashing kids at NMH in the past (and certainly it's a feeder for all Ivies). There may be others that I'm less familiar with.
Not at all saying that's what happened here, just that it's something I've observed with certain schools...

I know you could figure this out, but being home and having time on my hands -
Episcopal High School is a boarding school in Alexandria. VA. It has sent various athletes to the ivies, in numerous sports. Although it's a member of the Interstate Athletic Conference in MD-DC-VA metro area (Georgetown Prep, Landon, St. Albans, St. Stephens/St. Anne's, all ivy feeding schools), it's traditional rival is Woodberry Forest School, a boarding school in Orange, VA. John McCain graduated from EHS.
Virginia Episcopal School is a boarding/day school in Lynchburg, VA, 2 hours west of Richmond, a member (for boys) of the Virginia Independent Conference. Lllewelln graduated from VES.
Trinity Episcopal school is a small, relatively new (1972) independent school in Richmond, VA.
There are many more episcopal schools in VA, some but not all of which are so-named. Perhaps not surprisingly, I had multiple uncles who were episcopal ministers in VA.

About what am I not to be surprised??
Multiple uncles
Episcopal ministers
In Va.
Or the combination of the three?

There is NO WAY Supreme Cook doesn't become a celebrity chef one day.

It will be impossible to compete against Harvard now with all that stimulus money they received.
