If we could actually land Buchanan and Zamoku Weluchr-Ume, to go along with Schroder and Johnson, we’d have incredible size on the wings with 4 guys 6’7” or 6’”8 who play wing. And massoud would give great spacing for Bishop, Max, and the wings.

Probably too much to ask to land them all, though.

Keep your fingers crossed. It is not impossible that we hit a trifecta here.

My fingers are crossed

Now that would be great

There's a lot of logic behind this.
 The Mike Hall visit is great. Mike made it to the NBA from GW, has a degree, also made all sorts of money overseas and works for the Knicks. One day joining the staff or just helping with recruits means a lot.
    All of these recruits make sense. We are great with foreign players in a great international city. Mike Hall's teammate Pops shows what we can do for our talented visitor, Zamoku, who played in Great Britain.
 Mr. Buchanan was a good fit for GW out of high school and is now a great fit. We have unlimited playing time at his position.
   Ish Massoud can just ask Max what GW and Coach Caputo did for him after K State.
And any transfers can see what GW and Caputo did this year for James Bishop, Max. Brendan Adams and Ricky Double-Double Lindo.
     We have a huge amount of playing time, a coach who was a major factor into building two teams, including Miami this year into Final Four teams, and coached numerous players into the NBA where he has strong contacts.
   It just makes sense if these fine recruits make the smart decision for themselves at GW. 
There's a real opportunity to build a powerhouse team next year.

Gapare is heading to Georgia Tech. It will be interesting to see what he and Hobbs are able to do in Atlanta. Despite the talent in the state the flagship schools haven't been too good in basketball recently but I do like what Stoudamire did at Pacific a few years back.

Perhaps BM or someone else can help me with the proper formatting in the recruits section.  Geronimo is apparently visiting both GW and Georgetown shortly.  Largely a bench player for Indiana, Jordan had a double-double against the Badgers as well as a 13 point, 8 rebound, 3 blocked shot performance at Illinois while starting for an injured Race Thompson.

He can play. And I think he’s a better shooter than the 31% 3pt shooting percentage suggests. 

I really like all the names we are being linked to (only one I wasn’t sold on was the French guy who is going to George Mason).

Any interest in an 8th Year senior from Bowie?

@247HSHoops
Cal guard DeJuan Clayton is entering the transfer portal, per a source.

Clayton began his college career in 2016-17, playing parts of five seasons at Coppin State. He played two games at Hartford in 21-22 and eight games for Cal in 22-23.

He averaged 9.2PPG, 2.9APG and 1.9RPG last season.

Free Quebec was not sold on the French guy? Okay.

Well played.

Gwmayhem I'm not sure where you got the GW info but this is what I found

I see some speculating he visited Maryland and also Georgetown.
Then I saw this on twitter. No idea who this person is (other than an IU fan) so take it with a grain of salt

Looks like the 3 main teams are Maryland, George Washington, and Boston University. Might be on a visit to GWU right now
 

Florida Colonial, regarding the Geronimo visit, I had a solid source for this one.  I don't believe this had been widely circulated to my knowledge. He is 6'6", a good rebounding small forward.  I think he would be a great fit.  4 star ranking out of high school, for what that's worth.  Two years of remaining eligibility.

 

Between Massoud, Foster, Weluche-Ume, Geronimo, and Buchanan I keep hoping I’ll see some news when I come here.
