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.

Seems like a walk-on via his insta:

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.

From Great Neck North? Know the Blazers well. Excellent chance he's a preferred walk-on.

Shout out to the north shore. And, welcome Luke.

Looks like he had offers from Manhattan and Towson.

Huge praise for our 2023 class:

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)

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

Here's what I found in a City of Basketball Love article from December:

"Still adjusting to life as a post player and not as a 3-point shooting guard, his previous speciality, he’s proving himself to be a versatile ‘4’ man, one who’s got high-level, high-academic Division III programs like Hamilton (N.Y.) and NYU in touch, along with what he said is a “plethora” of local D-IIIs."

Sounds like a preferred walk on (purely a guess)

Good use of the word plethora.
Would be a welcome walk on addition for that, along with his size, and potential to grab some boards,etc.

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.

Pops has done a good amount of developmental work with African basketball, if we are interested in
recruiting from there. He may well be able to help.
Great example for recruits of going to GW and being a success as a pro player in the NBA who also made big money internationally and went into management with an NBA team.

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.

6’8” C. Was named Most Outstanding Player at the North Carolina HS basketball championship as his team won the title. MaxPreps ranks them in the top 25 nationally.

Another tweet says he has offers from George Mason, Bonnies, Duquesne, Illinois St, samford, Mercer. More recent tweets mention GW and Boston College as being interested.

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.
