Hason Ward to VCU

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Was thought to be a top prospect for pike

Another one bites the dust

He could have been special here. Oh well.

VCU over Rutgers and the Big Ten? Someone has been giving him bad advice.

 

[Knights 1212]

It is a shame. I wonder what happened as he said he was going to take an official to RU. I guess VCU was very convincing. It is a shame he looked to me like he could have helped us. Maybe VCU promised him major minutes.

A rare loss for Pike lately.

Rare?

No one heard of this player 2 weeks ago and he's now a recruiting loss...???

Getting involved very late doesn't mean you land the kid.....getting involved as the 1st offer doesn't mean you land the kid. We went through this last spring with countless grad transfers and Tai Strickland. I really like the profile of the type of Power Forwards we are targeting, i feel pretty certain RU will get one.

In the other thread, Russ said RU backed off Ward.

I don't think he meant that, he was joking that some fans around the country usually should say that, just to deflect from the player going elsewhere.

False

Playing time promised the recruit probably deciding factor.

 

[Knights 1212]

That is exactly what I already said in this thread.

Georgia also offered this kid... is this a big recruiting loss for Tom Crean too?

(Answer: no)

I am assuming Will Wade did not learn all of his recruiting tricks at LSU

You're implying that VCU cheated to get a guy who until 2 weeks ago had only mid-major offers?

 

[BlockR]
