With this year drawing to a close, does anyone know of any blockbuster type recruits Fordman may be looking at for the 2006 class. This is the time for DW to really push for a top 100 kid. I'm just curious if anyone has heard any rumors, becaues I feel like our strengths are becoming more apparent on a national level. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: West Ram 's message, "This has all been said before, but it is worth repeating. We haven't won one of these one on one "recruiting wars" with a major national power in a long time (if ever). For the foreseeable future we're either going to have to find real talent before the others or find the kids that are terrific but for whatever reason are undiscovered or un-ranked. I can't get too worked up about Austrie who became the focus of Big East, Pac 10, and other schools that, at present, are perceived as, for lack of a better term, glamourous by HS ballers who are in the spotlight. Our day will come, though. We'll know it when we win one of these recruiting battles with a major school." on Wed March 30, 2005 10:01:14

We have made initial contact with over 100 players for '05-'06 recruiting, which is not surprising given how early it is and the fact that we have seen them in AAU games, high school tourneys, etc. Some of them are high major players but it's too early to tell if any are seriously interested in us. You never know until the player gets down to their final 6 or so schools. I think DW and staff will sign several more solid, tough, fundamentally sound players from winning high school programs in '05-'06. If we have a good upcoming season, I predict that we will break out with a major signing in the Spring or Fall of '06. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed March 30, 2005 12:07:36
- As it stands right now we have only 2 scholarships to give for 2006, correct? (NT) -- ConnRam99, Wed March 30, 2005 13:38:18
  - Correct. Unless we do not use our last scholarship for this season which is looking like a decent possibility. (NT) -- ace93, Wed March 30, 2005 13:45:41
