A 2020 high class recruit...I hope I am still around to see him at IONA.....He not quite 15 years old and already 6-5...His projected height is at least 6-8 or higher...We have the inside track, but the competition will be fierce.......
Further confirms my thought that Cluess neither wants or will be leaving IONA...!!!!!

In years gone by recruiting was controlled by a certain group of teams...Each year there was a certain amount of top class recruits which were quickly gobbled up by the at most the top 50 or so teams...As the years went by this select group grew to the hundreds and hundreds that are available today..
Add that to the many, many coaches that waste time in over recruiting...There are also a large group that have lapsed into those that are satisfied with their position, and have lost ambition, and are filling out time...This accounts for large portion of the aprox. 350 head coaches...
Coach Cluess recognized these factors and has adjusted his recruiting process resulting in his tremendous success...Perhaps he by entering Div.1 later in life has profited by observing these mistakes and their causes...What ever it is I am glad he has given my aged years basketball excitement and joy....
It is IMO there is a great need for a new blood infusion into the ranks of College Basketball Coaches...!!!!!

OT, don't worry about 2020 recruits. We have a recruit (Hicks) who reportedly gave Iona a commitment this summer and we don't know if he's coming.

Talking about a2020 recruit in 2016 is insane,and to say we have the inside track on a 14 yr old is just as funny,I can't remember the last time a kid was mentioned here early that actually came,the players wf bring in are not generally spoken about prior and there are good readons for that!! Let's enjoy this year.
