Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

[cliftonparksufan]

Again, I have no clue why someone so close to his parents goes thousands of miles away. Makes absolutely no sense.

 

[djorange1989]

If he had committed to SU maybe he would have gone straight to the D league anyway. Hey, trying here

 

[OrangeDW]

Lose a kid in your backyard to a vastly inferior program and conference. The assistants need to be on notice. Recruiting has to get better.

Eh. The assistant who started recruiting him here is the one who got him. Not your typical scenario.

 

[Finwad32]

Anyone who doesnt think Hop is gonna get the first phone call when JB retires...is LYING to themselves

No doubt, BUT, does he answer?

I think he’s going to be tough to move.

 

[phil77]

Hop sure can recruit.

Although there is a lack of recruiting...given that it is Hopkins...he has established relationships with these guys. I would hope his pipeline to upstate is reduced over time. He has probably recruited this kid for 5 years.

 

[BludOrange]

Its nice seeing a kid blaze his own trail and not just be another replaceable cog at some one and done factory.

 

[moqui]

Fire GMac.

Not really, but, that was the hottest take I could think of.

not your best work

this is how it's done

 

[samspann1]

Yodaki? Huh?

 

[jdubs30]

Tyus committed to Michigan first too. I agree with Jake his family didn’t look too happy

 

[HuskyHooper]

As I was saying...

 

[hoopsupstate]

We’re stuck with no post player again next year. Stewart is the only big who could have an impact on next year’s team.

I wasn't aware that La Porte, Indiana is now in our backyard.

 

[Funk Doc]

Neither do I, but for the 6 months he’ll actually be enrolled in school, he made it clear he’s comfortable with the coach.

 

[cuseguy]

Time to go get Carrigan

Heard he’s having a bad year. Any truth?

 

[creatorsgam]

Y’all want these takes mild, medium, or hot?

Going to get them anyway. May as well choose your sauce.

I, for one, prefer buffalo garlic parmesan.

Upstate hasn't always had this many good recruits. It goes in cycles. Eventually Hop won't have anyone else here to go after. His pipeline will dry up.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Hopefully he stays recruiting out west and this is the last real recruit he had a connect with

 

[reedny]

Eh. The assistant who started recruiting him here is the one who got him. Not your typical scenario.

No it isn't. I mean, it feels a little strange to have Hop exploiting his SU connections to edge us out for a program-changing recruit like this. And from the kid's standpoint, why travel to the pacific ocean to get a slice of the staff when you can have the whole thing 60 miles away. Oye.

 

[OrangeDW]

As I was saying...

Kick rocks.

 

[Funk Doc]

As I was saying...

Bye

 

[chugg21]

Heard he’s having a bad year. Any truth?

4 pts, 6 rebs, 3 blks in 17mpg at juco. He isn't making a difference.

 

[Noexcuse]

Speaking of which and maybe I’m wrong but when Allen Griffin was hired to replace Hop wasn’t there some buzz about Naz Carter following Grif here? Instead, Carter ends up recruiting IS to follow him to Washington.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Yodaki? Huh?

I think that's UDub's version of "OITNF".

 

[Dome Eddie]

How and the hell do we keep missing on the number recruits in New York State? This is totally unacceptable!
