Absolutely, it's great to be involved with players early, especially since the offer is not binding. It's interesting to see our recruiting expanding to the west, with Steve Hall's influence in Michigan and maybe Greg Gary is tapping into his Indiana connections. I have the feeling that our NY/NJ/NE connection is drying up with Bill Barton leaving and the fallout with Norm the booster and his NYC connections.

- I hope the NYC area pipeline doesn't dry up. Duquesne has traditionally done well when getting players from the NYC metro, and adjacent areas. Recruiting areas like Philly, DC, and Ohio, has not worked out nearly as well in the past. (NT) -- duq81, Sunday, August 29, 01:56:12pm
  - Are not Sean Johnson and Joel Wright from NY? (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, August 29, 04:31:36pm
    - I forgot about Joel Wright, El Duque. (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Sunday, August 29, 04:44:25pm
- Who's Norm the booster and what fallout ? (NT) -- Somerset24, Sunday, August 29, 03:46:32pm
  - Can't remember his name, but the guy to whom Stephen Wood (and Robert Mitchell, I think) was connected. Guy was involved with the AAU program. I've probably got half the story. (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, August 29, 04:30:30pm
  - Somerset24 and El Duque, the connection revolved around Mensah and James. Click for Fanhouse Article (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Sunday, August 29, 04:54:59pm
    - Ahh, that's why I couldn't put it all together. I've been blocking that whole collection of knuckleheads from my memory. (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, August 29, 05:40:08pm
    - Thanks, Phoenix Rising. (NT) -- Somerset24, Sunday, August 29, 07:28:35pm
