2019 & Beyond Recruiting Targets

[tornado]

the flurry of offers in the past two weeks is interesting...
obviously is was a very busy, active recruiting & contact period so you expect a lot of offers...
but it also may suggest that a few of the earlier offers are guys who have moved on and maybe no longer considering BU and thus we are not pursuing...

...
Caleb Grill - OFFERED on 7/22/2018 ...

Bradley 2019 recruit who we have reportedly offered, Caleb Grill...
has verbaled to South Dakota State - they are a program that's coming off 28 wins, and both their ballhandlers/point guards are seniors & will graduate - and only 1 of their top 10 players & scorers from last year will still be around in 2019 - opening up a chance for good playing time even as a freshman next year for Grill.

This kid needs a look - he can flat out play. Plays for the Illinois Irish 17u who have had one heck of a July. Taking down Mac Irvin Fire and Meanstreets both by 20 points

2019 Ryland Holt 6-4 Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley High School, Gibson City, IL

Bradley 2019 recruit ...Caleb Grill...
has verbaled to South Dakota State ....

article on Caleb Grill says his reasons were..
"the coaching staff, the opportunity to contribute right away and the chance to play in a fast-paced,
3-point-happy system that highlights his long-range shooting and athleticism"

he will have an opportunity to sign a LOI in November but kids have changed their minds before once a few phone calls or other "offers" arise..

[Da Coach]

This article from college basketball writer Jeff Eisenberg of Yahoo Sports about former Bradley recruit Caleb Grill from Wichita, Kansas claims:

Texas Tech, Nebraska, SMU, Washington State and Colorado State had each already offered Grill a scholarship. Oklahoma State and Kansas State were also in frequent contact with Grill and Wichita State and Oklahoma have shown interest as well.

But he passed up all those to commit early to South Dakota State.

If you wanna develop and get better number 4 is a no brainer 👀🤐 #whynotBU

Wouldn't this be a recruiting violation?

[Da Coach]

Depending how one interprets the vague wording of the NCAA rules, it could be considered so. However, this happens all the time, and it happens far more in other ways of communication (verbal, private call, private text message, etc.). Whenever a recruit visits a school, he usually will hang with and scrimmage with players, and undoubtedly a lot of talk goes on between the recruit and the players that sound a lot like that tweet.
So I seriously doubt the NCAA would see it as something worth pursuing, or they'd have to police millions of tweets and other communications that recruits have.

Ha - no - it may be you who are the one who has committed the marginal recruiting violation

it is perfectly OK for one student athlete to talk to his long time friends but the schools ask their fans & boosters NOT to publicly communicate or post the individual Twitter & social media identities of the student athletes. It just increases the burden of supervision that their compliance offices have to do to avoid impermissible contact and recruiting violations...

That is why I did not identify the accounts of either Earley or Childs - just what Earley made public.
