Not a target, but Ish Leggett leaving URI.  He was a a GW recruit at some point.  It's turning into a more difficult job than expected for Miller.

BTW Zak Boisvert is now following Leggett.. 

Now THAT would be something after they took Bray from us last year lol

Two new names to add to the Zak Boisvert follow list:

Jonathan Beagle
6’9” 240
Forward
Albany
3 Years of Eligibility Remaining
2022-23 Stats (31 Games):  13 PPG, 8 RPG, 2 APG, 1 SPG
 2023 AEC ROTY.



Kuany Kuany
6'9" 200
Forward
Cal
1 Year of Eligibility Remaining
2022-23 Stats (32 Games):  9 PPG, 4 RPG, 1 APG, .5 SPG



Also, is Yale's EJ Jarvis related to Mike?  In any event, would be cool to be rooting for a Jarvis again in the Smith Center.

Haven't seen any links yet, but Ike Cornish is in the portal. We recruited him out of HS and I believe we were in his Top 8

All that makes sense Rising but it's wishful thinking.

You know the characters on this board. Reason and logic are foreign concepts to a few here.

GWRising, Given that I'm one of the main posters in this thread (Along with GW0509) and guilty of updating who the staff is following on twitter, I can guarantee you that neither of us are under the impression that we're going to corner the market on who we are actually going to sign. But with that said I would say that if Zak B or CC choose to follow a player as soon as he enters the Portal there has to be at least some interest in doing due diligence on him. Also when CC follows a guy and the player follows him back I would guess that indicates a higher level of interest from both parties (like Jennings from Texas Tech).  CC doesn't wholesale follow guys like Zak B. So yes a great deal of this might be a waste of time but I'm much more entertained by this than arguing about the moniker or previous coaches. 

With that said I understand you know a bunch about the recruiting game and always appreciate your insight. But yes us amateurs do like to troll twitter and get some ideas of what the staff is doing (Yes there is a way to see who the latest follows are).

Now onto past Miami recruits or current Miami players. That's obviously an excellent place to look for possible signings.  I agree that we have a higher chance of signing players that coaches have had previous relationships with, rather than just starting out new as they enter the portal. Truthfully the Portal is a mad house.
We'll see what happens after Miami exits the tournament. Maybe a lightly used freshman from the DC area (Favour Aire) might want to come home. Assuming he's someone CC would want (Truthfully I know very little about his ability)

Can I add that I hope CC is two steps ahead of me lol. If not we're in trouble.

In any case I'm glad you're entertained by us. But I'm sure we'll keep entertaining ourselves.

I would suspect that any current Miami player that ends up at GW will be personally endorsed and delivered by Jim Larranaga.  There is simply no way that CC is running even the slightest risk of biting that hand. 

And as for whether this might be a waste of time.....so what?

Seriously, so fucking what?

 

Yes,keep this info. coming until roster is set.  No one here has reported any signing--or even close.
Interesting. Looks like Buchanan redshirted.
  So we don't know what he did in college, which is intriguing, and cuts two ways, depending on why he was redshirted.
  Looking on the plus side, it really worked out for us with Max Edwards. 
And if he's a rebounder, 6'7, 235 is exactly what we don't really have and a major need for us.
  So if Darren gets an offer from us, he can ask the A-10 rookie of the year on our team what it is like
to play at GW.

Looks like they recruited a four star freshman over him at VPI.

And the fun continues.. Add another
 
Air Force sophomore Jake Heidbreder l. 

The 6’5” guard averaged 15.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. 

Shot 49% from the field, and 40% from 3 (5.9 attempts per game).
