Rudi looks terrific, but I have learned to be very cautious with overhyping JUCO transfers after this offseason (see AJ McNeal).

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? let's say jelly might not be the best student, but better than McNeil

Based solely on highlight tape, and I realize it's highlight tape, I would love for Iona to land Leach or Williams, or both. Thing is I can't remember many players mentioned in recruiting threads actually coming to Iona. Hopefully I'm wrong about these two; both look like great fits.

JMO, but I think that Williams looks better than Leach. And I've never seen Kortright play, but it would be nice to have a couple of freshmen in the program.

Verbal Commits report via Twitter that Iona and Quinnipiac offered 2020 St. Raymond (NY) G Luis Kortright. I was at the St. Raymond’s vs. Scanlan game on Tuesday night. There were several nice bigs and a lot of 5’9”-5’10” types on both teams. Kortright caught my eye with his size amongst the other guards on the floor. Very athletic... Tough to assess in one game however. For anybody interested, St Raymond’s might be playing next on Saturday at 1 PM, Mt. St. Michaels...

Luis Kortright - 6'3" SG - All-League CHSAA First Team selection, very athletic player who plays D well and can score. Offers from Quinny, The Bonnies, Fordham, Manhattan, Bryant, St Francis (NY) and Hofstra.
I would love to see this guy in an Iona uniform.

Maybe “Jelly” being a St. Raymond’s guy could influence Luis’ decision...

Agree transfers have obviously helped but having McGill and Crawford the last 5 years to teach and get players to buy into the Iona way has been huge. It has to help Cluess in the locker room

No indication as to whether we are recruiting him, but saw in today's paper that in the Quarterfinals, MVHS defeated White Plains. Humpstead had 18 points and 23 boards.

Article on priority recruiting target Cam Holden. Kid has had a huge season. Article says Iona is one of the programs working the hardest. Coach Mailhot is doing a great job working hard on some very good JUCO recruits. Really need to clear up the health situation with Cluess'
