Not that landing Marbury wasn't an accomplishment, but signing him at "Point Guard U" isn't a fair comparison to the work he'll have to put in to out recruit a BE or ACC for a player at FU. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Rambacker 's message, "There's a lot to be said for being first and hanging in the longest when recruiting. PC did an excellent job here, and McDermott, in my estimation, will have an immediate impact on their program. Re: ace93's point, I agree that we will sign a player(or 2 or 3) who's being recruited by higher ranked programs because DW has proven in the past that he will outwork other coaches to land a good player(as was the case when he signed Stephon Marbury at Georgia Tech)." on Tue April 12, 2005 09:45:36

I'd like to see DW make Fordham "Point Guard U'. It's the most important position in college basketball. Probably a better example is the player that DW signed at Wagner that led them to the NCAA's. Can't recall his name, but I believe he was headed to Georgia Tech, then signed with Wagner when DW got the job there. (NT) -- Rambacker, Tue April 12, 2005 11:39:55
- You are talking about Jermaine Hall. He was a 6-5 pf though. He was headed to GTech and then went to Wagner with DW instead. Great player and could have gone alot higher than Wagner. (NT) -- confirmabacker, Tue April 12, 2005 13:06:14
  - I remember seeing him play in Wagner's league championship game that got them into the NCAA Tournament and I was shocked at how good he was. We're going to need a PG in our next recruiting class - I think we'll sign a good one and have a nice 1-2 knockout punch there with KA. I like KA's potential alot. But to go deep in the tournament, you need two good PG's. (NT) -- Rambacker, Tue April 12, 2005 13:31:09
