Anyone know if Mount Vernon’s Troy Hupstead has committed anywhere yet? Would be great to get a local MVHS kid into the program. Don’t think we’ve had a Mount Vernon recruit commit out of high school in 20 years. Watched him play a bunch of times. Seems like a hard worker and has changed his body nicely. Not sure how his game will translate to the next level. A little flat footed and slow laterally. Wouldn’t be able to guard wings and guards. He’s about the same size as EJ but has a back to the basket kinda game. Would that really work for us?

Mike Glover, Roland Griffin, Taaj Ridley, were all cut from similar cloth.

Hard to believe he is only a 2 star.

I believe he's a perfect match for our system. From what I've read he is very coachable and makes people around him better. Another Canadian gem.

We had the "right-handed Chris Mullen" from Canada. Could this be "Gretzky in sneakers"?

With all the offers he has received, I don't think we would have offered this late if we didn't think we had a good chance to "win" the Rudi sweepstakes. Fingers crossed.

If he has other offers and we have a starting PG why wouldn't he go to the higher offers

If he has other offers and we have a starting PG why wouldn't he go to the higher offers Since we will have a starting PG (plus a backup), and assuming they'll return, the only reason to recruit Williams, is that the Staff believes he can play off the ball. P.S. Why do you (1970) think we offered?
