[color=inherit]jake lieberman[/color] @jakelieberman2·4m Darren Buchanan (@dbuchananjr2) tells me that he will be taking an official visit to Pittsburgh today through Sunday.

Darren's AAU teammate Judah Mintz just de-committed from Pitt and reopened his recruitment (https://twitter.com/Jmintz10/status/1458537712152162306)

Maybe Mintz and Darren can be convinced that staying local is in both of their best interests?

Damn GW0509 you're good. I can't tell you how many times i pull up the board to post some news and you beat me too it This is indeed a good turn of events in our recruitment of Buchanan.

FYI - Mintz is a 4 star top 100 guy too. Major blow for Pitt. Locally, UMD and G$%&town offered him.

Hopefully he watched the Maryland game tonight and saw how much fun it would be to play with Joey Bam and co.

Mike K · 11/12/2021 10:33 am

FQ- Exactly what I was thinking. It might have been the clincher. I re-read an article and his time frame was to commit in December.

If he saw that game tonight, no way is he coming here

Yes, let's encourage him publicly not to because the Good Lord knows we don't need anymore talent. SMDH

Yes, what’s going to hold Buchanan back is probably the twenty fans posting on a message board rather than the team losing by double digits despite an athletic advantage

Hopefully he says to himself, "I can go out there and take care of some of the shortcomings!"

Good article on Buchanan from the Washington Post. It says he's looking to commit in the winter. I read an article from late October where he said he was going to be cutting his list down within a few weeks, but I haven't seen any list yet, so who knows. He said he's looking to go to a college that, among other things, gets big crowds, which GW certainly does not :/

Does anyone know if Darren or other recruits were at the Smitty last night?

2022 prospect from @WWHSTigersHoops Darren Buchanan Jr (@dbuchananjr2) tells me that Wisconsin, Quinnipiac, Virginia Tech, George Washington, and Richmond have been reaching out in the past couple of weeks.

@jakelieberman2
Senior Darren Buchanan (@dbuchananjr2) tells me that Georgetown, George Mason, Rice, and University of Charlotte have been reaching out to him.

Virginia Tech has also been reaching out to Buchanan.

Not sure if this means we’re now out of the running.

Marquette now also.

I'm one the more positive people on here and even I can't see a reason for him to pick us

That ship sailed with our results this year

You're saying Ryan Devlin retweeting every DBJ tweet isn't going to do the trick?

Florida Colonial · 1/10/2022 6:55 pm

If he can still pull it off under our current situation he deserves to get a bigger job

GW0509 · 2/02/2022 8:55 pm

DBJ in attendance tonight vs. LaSalle. Maybe all hope isn’t lost yet?

Florida Colonial · 2/03/2022 8:06 am

Positive news. We'll take it

Mike K · 2/03/2022 8:15 pm

great news
