2018 Recruiting: All You Need To Know

[wichshock65]

I'm not starting a thread because this seems like a long shot, but Donnie Jones just followed recent Louisville de-commit and Top 10 prospect Anfernee Simons on Twitter. And Anfernee followed back.

Looks like he is now also following Alex Lomax and Erik Stevenson.

Interesting.

Crazy!

He plays with Keyontae Johnson at IMG Academy. Also was previously attending Montverde Academy, Morris Udeze's team.

He's been following them both for a long time so I wouldn't read much into that. Keyontae transferred from IMG to Oak Hill this season.

He is a Florida kid so I would suspect AHC Jones has some level of relationship with him. Interesting to see that 247 Sports had an 85% prediction he was going to Florida and then suddenly the kid decides to commit to Louisville. Things that make you go hmmm.

Given Louisville's problems that might be a concern, but it probably involves reading too much into the accuracy of the crystal ball projections.

Commitments:
Nick Honor (Fordham)
Ronaldo Segu (Buffalo)
Clay Gayman (Abilene Christian)

Added Offers:
Flo Thamba (Memphis)
Keyontae Johnson (Florida)
Yor Anei (Oklahoma St)
Antun Maricevic (BYU)
Vincent Williams (Xavier)
Sasha Sukahnov (Morehead St)
Trey Doomes (West Virginia)

New Highlights:
Neftali Alvarez - https://twitter.com/Hoop_MIA/status/8088845690511974
Dimon Carrrigan - https://n.rivals.com/content/prospec...arrigan-202781

I think Abilene Christian really stole one in Clay Gayman. Only D1 offer that Clay received.

This guy is projected to go #5 in the draft as of now. Who knows, maybe he would want to play for a year with an All American point guard. Stranger things have happened.

Wonder how many of those schools he's following on Twitter? He's got plenty of time to be wooed and no need to announce anytime soon.

Moving to current page for convenience.

The Shocks will be replacing 6 seniors and possibly 1 or 2 underclassmen at the end of this season. 3G says he needs at least 1 of everything plus a special player.

FYI...

Apparently Dimon Carrigan left Woodstock Academy and enrolled at a JUCO in Boston. Not sure how this will affect his recruitment or whether he'll be eligible for 2018.

Also @1972Shocker:, Emmitt Mathews Jr committed to UCONN.

[1972Shocker]

Also @1972Shocker, Emmitt Mathews Jr committed to UCONN.

Wondering if we have any other juco PG's we're looking at as a back plan.
