This would be an example of taking the best athlete available. Austrie is a combo guard that is a scorer. We were not on his radar screen prior to this so I would be surprised if we got him. But DW has pulled off late recruiting coups in the past(see Georgia Tech) so it's possible. Providence always seems to come in late and get some of these guys. They are always hovering over late signing opportunities. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: toby 's message, "thanks for the update RB. Do we have a shot with Craig Austrie? We had some representatives watching the state-final this wknd at central connecticut, along with other schools. Would he be able to play the point or split with KA?" on Tue March 22, 2005 11:53:42

McGrath being one. Although, I think he had a little of a sophmore funk this year. could be wrong though. (NT) -- toby, Tue March 22, 2005 12:39:44
- McGrath is a junior (soon to be a senior). We had a good chance of signing him out of high school, but when we were recruiting him he was concerned with getting playing time with Smush and Walton in front of him. Next thing you know, no Smush, no Walton and no McGrath either. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Tue March 22, 2005 14:07:29
  - too much partying at rose hill -- back in the day -- has relinquished some of my off-the cuff memory. thanks for the correction. I do believe he was a late signing for Providence at the time. I think if we lose Lowe -- Austrie would be a great player to sign. (NT) -- toby, Tue March 22, 2005 15:09:40
  - and another year later, someone else was gone, too, but I won't mention his name. (NT) -- bfg, Tue March 22, 2005 15:09:46
    - Something good had to come out of it I guess. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Tue March 22, 2005 16:08:51
