Good stuff Rising.  I threw in the um because while I know he visited, there hadn't been any chatter on Twitter or elsewhere that he actually got a scholarship offer. 

Welcome Luke! Who knows if he was actually offered by the other schools listed, but if he was this is a good sign. We have lost recruits to those schools in the past, and now we have someone giving up a scholarship to walk on.  

Looks like he had offers from Manhattan and Towson.

2023 6-7 G/F Michael Belle has posted back-to-back dbl dbls in the French U21 league last week Highly switchable defender willing to make hustle plays, brings lots of athleticism and a steady two-way production with tantalizing flashes off the dribble and improving % from 3

Belle has been consistent day in day out so far this year. Here's how he ranks in 4 major stat categories in that 18-team league: 17.7 PTS (11th) 8.6 REB (7th) 3.3 AST (28th) 2.4 STL (11th)

Receiving interest from Seton Hall, Colorado St, Utah St, VCU. GW reached out recently.

Quick inter-web search did not find anything on some recruiting web sites or other schools who have offered Luke.

Sounds like a preferred walk on (purely a guess)

2023 SG Dramane 'Ladji' Camara

One of the top available prospects in the entire 2023 class, alongside Abass, is Dramane 'Ladji' Camara. You may not have heard of him but he is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard with long arms, loads of confidence and a flamethrower from three if he gets going. Every second he is on the court, he is a threat to drill a jumper and is not timid with his shot selection.

He is fresh off an official visit to DePaul but has also received interest from Xavier, Clemson, San Jose State, UT Chattanooga, East Carolina and George Washington.

George Washington is the latest to reach out on 6’8 F 23’ @ElijahStrong35_ @MyersPark_Hoops

Elijah Strong was actually highly coveted by George Mason so with the Kim English departure it looks like we're making a move.

Would love to sign a talented frontcourt player out of high school to join the same class as Jacoi, Trey and Christian.  Hate to be totally reliant on the portal.
