Is there any chance we go after any previous targets to try and flip them to the Cuse?
Graham can definitely play at a high D1 level.What about someone like Devonte Graham? Former teammate of McCullough's up at Brewster. No idea if he can play at this level, of course, but looking at the $cout PG rankings he's the highest ranked unsigned PG on there (though ESPN says he signed with Appalachian State).
So, if he does get released...he still couldn't play next year?Devonte Graham is probably the best PG available from Brewster Academy, but he has a complicated situation going on. He signed with App St first but then asked for his released. App St refused because they thought schools like NC St tampered. So basically if he signs with another school then he can't play for them next year. The App St coach was recently fired, so there is a good chance that Graham will eventually get his release. If that happens then I would hope that SU will show some interest.
If he gets his release then he'll be "free" to play wherever he wants to play at next season.So, if he does get released...he still couldn't play next year?
I remember when I watched the McCullough highlight videos, Graham definitely stood out to me. He looked like a hell of a player.
Good to know. And obviously, since the staff recruited McCullough, they've got to be familiar with Graham so it's not outside the realm of possibility he's someone they would reach out to.If he gets his release then he'll be "free" to play wherever he wants to play at next season.
Nope. I'm sure the staff thought Ennis and Joseph would be running the show over the next few years before the season started.Good to know.

We never recruited him before, did we?
We'd have more success with a JUCO or 5th year guy than another freshman coming in. Any frosh worth his salt isn't going to want to be the designated backup.
Bryant Crawford? He's a 2015 recruit, but I don't think there is any interest in him currently.I would be happy with an under the radar type guy someone to play 8-10 minutes a game the first couple years. Then maybe move over to starting. Good ball handler maybe needs to work on his outside shot. I have a specific player in mind Francis maybe able to help with the name. I know him and I had a conversation about this player. I will search for it also. I think he had ties with Red maybe? And there was a comment about his shooting ability. Blah still drawing a blank.
The 5th year guard transfer waiver wire list hasn't filled out yet. Hopefully some quality names will be available over the next few weeks. Have to do some research on the JUCO PG's to see if anybody good is available. I know there are some quality JUCO forwards still available.Thanks for the info on Graham. Any other possible targets we could look at Francis? I just looked up Whitehead, never realized he signed a LOI with Seton Hall. That hurts..
I don't think Crosby is a SU caliber of a recruit. He was supposedly a G-Mason lean not too long ago. I think the best option is to wait and see if a few quality 5th year options become available like we saw last year with Barton and Kane.Did John Crosby sign with anyone? I know he was a low 3 star type kid but if I remember right he was like 6'3'' - 6'4'' kid. I know he was from Baltimore. He is more of a 4 year type kid but I think we need a system kid in here at PG.
