Does this mean maybe Goode is leaving or kid from Ohio is not coming?

Coach Pikiell offered me a scholarship tonight.
5:12 PM - 24 Mar 2016

3 star, can flat out shoot

Was offered by SMU, BC, VCU, Dayton

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Dailey (kid from Ohio) already de-committed, but given the 2 silent verbals, someone else would need to de-commit/leave. I have no info but my guess would be goode.

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Many experts think he is under-rated even at his current 3 star ranking

 

[bac2therac]

thats the kind of offer list I like to see

Where is he from?

Where is he from?

Looks like he is from Queens... played at St Thomas Moore in Connecticut and / or Vermont Academy

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

He is from Queens. Former PSA Cardinal

Thank you.

New staff doesn't have to honor an existing verbal (Tripp?)

That's a tricky one.....pull a ship from a NY guy and it could cause some backlash and negative recruiting.

flat out shoot is music to my ears

Why would a verbal be silent? Usually in football it's with the early commits. Are they for next year and if so wouldn't more spots open up?

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Like this early move.

Be interested to see what Coach does, but I like Tripp. Obviously how he recovers from his injury matters, but i think Tripp can play at this level.

Tripp has certainly had a difficult last year and a half.

Nice actual offers not possible maybe offers if player X preps, there is a decommit, and its a leap year, then the team will be really looking at him for next year type offers.

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Tripp was a highly regarded player in NYC before the injuries

Before the key word. Those offers dried up when he was injured.

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Of course because the big boys dont want to take risks

Of course because the big boys dont want to take risks

Plus, he was shot and it was no fault of his own, just a random shot. But, it will turn schools off because all they will hear is "he was shot" , assume he was involved and automatically take him off their list.

 

[MV9000]

247 has him leaning louisville. Would love a shooter on this team! Demoralizing watching them waste multiple possessions due to limited viable options for shooters. Good offer.

 

[ruman]

I will not be shocked if Pikiell thinks he can do better than Tripp. Guess we will find out in the next week or two

 

[shields]

yes the kid was shot, people seem to forget that.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

We need this kid ....

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

We did not make his final 5. Still it shows that Pike is trying to make inroads in local AAU.

Vital is actually getting a lot of crystal balls on 247 for Uconn
