Isn't Josiah Davis from Canada....played at Teays Valley Christian.....before heading to WVU & Tennessee Tech?

He was in the portal. I haven't had time to follow every thing lately. My money it is him......not that it matters.

Yes, he is, but he committed to Niagara last week.

None of those guys.   This is a 4 star kid.  Would be a monster get.

We have a decent shot or is it a long shot?

[Haveyouherd222]

Been on him for awhile.   I'd guess 50/50.

Fingers crossed man

If Corny gets this guy, he wraps up recruiting with a bang!

If HERD is going to go places in basketball, SBC and postseason wise, going to have to beat out comparable teams, SBC, MAC, CUSA, and perhaps higher, enough times in recruiting battles to get where it, and its fans, want to go.  Beating out one legit team, like SO Con perennial power Chattanooga, and a bunch of "Who Dat" schools for a recruit isn't going to be enough, IMO!!

Are Mississippi State, Georgia, and Arkansas good enough schools to beat out? Because if this is the same HS PG who I heard was on campus, those are some of the schools we?d beat out if we land him.

I can?t divulge a name right now, but let?s just say if anyone here is a fan of the Jaguars, they?ll get a kick out of his name.

I think that's easier said than done. The Herd are on a similar level with a lot of other mid major schools as far as basketball and really any sport when it comes to getting decent recruits. Yes success will help with that, but in todays college landscape there is the NIL aspects of it and kids coming out off High School and/or the transfer portal want to win yes but also will go with who gives them the most money, that's just the reality of it.

We just need to string together a few winning seasons in a row, make any kind of postseason tbh even if just the NIT, and then build from there.

Not impossible for us to creep up to the top of the SBC, not exactly a basketball powerhouse overall, but will take time.

Did you hear how the visit went?

Speer has 1 yr to play?

According to his Tweets, yes 1 year left.

If he?s Canadian, we can compete more with the SEC schools for that player because NIL is not a factor.

[MicDrass1]

CJ will have a bunch of scholarships to fill after this year.  All starters might be seniors plus 6th man.

why is that?

[jsbowen]

why is that?

Visa regulations. Applies to any non-US player here on a visa.

I know the recent past has left a bitter taste about taking Europeans, but if our NIL money isn?t enough, that may be a place to recruit.

[Haveyouherd222]

This kid isn't Canadian.  I said he brings Canadian flavor, as he transferred to a Canadian high school to finish his career.

Two visitors yesterday?

How we feeling?

Thanks!

I heard it went well, he was posting stuff on Instagram last night about being here, so I feel comfortable disclosing the name, it?s Elijah Duval, 247 ranks him as the #177 player in the class.

He did also pick up offers from CoC and URI this weekend per his Twitter, so we?re not out of the woods yet.

He has offers from  MTSU; FGCU; Bethune Cookman; Cal State Bakersfield; Arkansas per 247 Sports. Rivals lists Ohio U; FAU; Arkansas; Marshall and Miss State. Both sites have him listed as a 3 Star recruit.

He plays high school basketball in Stuart, FL just down the road from where I live in Florida.

[Haveyouherd222]

He transferred to a school in Canada.   I believe the big boy offers aren't there anymore (SEC).   He was debating prep school, and then he recently added Rhode Island and C of C offers.

I didn't catch the fact that he played in Stuart last year. Below is a link about him from January 24, 2023 in his junior year where he scored 48 points in a game.

If he is as good advertised, I am afraid he will do the portal if he has a good season at Marshall. That is appears to be the new normal in college basketball.

That's who I thought it was

Would be a fantastic get for us

Hopefully Corny and Fulford can land him

Go Herd!
