Caputo and International Recruiting
Every successful GW Coach has recruited well internationally
Miami's roster currently has players from: Australia, New Zealand, Greece, The Netherlands
Can GW get back to recruiting well internationally??
A few other Caputo facts worth mentioning:
Caputo has been an integral part of Miami coach Jim Larranaga’s staff for two decades, including helping George Mason to the Final Four in 2006 and the Hurricanes to the Elite Eight this season. He has been associate head coach at Miami since May 2015, overseeing much of the team’s recruiting efforts and serving as the team’s defensive coordinator.

In his time in Miami, Caputo has also been the Hurricanes lead recruiters with a strong presence in the Washington, DC area. His efforts helped Miami land the commitments of several local recruits such as Jakai Robinson, Chris Lykes, Earl Timberlake, Jordan Miller and Anthony Walker in recent years

Re: Caputo and International Recruiting
I'm always looking for an international team. And you're right, our biggest success comes from teams with an international flair. I still want that Argentine big man from UVA (I think). Where's Pato when we need him?

Re: Caputo and International Recruiting
I though of Gapare when I saw he was a NZ recruiting specialist. There’s one guy in NZ who is the key holder and CC must know him.

Re: Caputo and International Recruiting
NZ recruiting specialist sounds like quite a niche. Right up there with collecting foreign tennis balls and knitting humorous cummerbunds (assist to George Carlin).

Re: Caputo and International Recruiting
The rise of GW fueled significantly with the influx of International recruiting talent in the Jarvis year
Yinka. Yegor. Koul etc etc
Have we had any NCAA tourney teams that did not start at least 1 International star?
