Tyndall sometimes gives offers out as a favor to his high school/AAU coach to give the kid more exposure. Then the coaches hopefully help Donnie out to get in on guys early when the have a top recruit on their team's. Example would be the guard who was offered from New Jersey. I will look up his name. His offer was that. The kid knows that unless he improves on things greatly he can't go to Tennessee. Not sure if Walter's is the same. I will ask. Butch did that late last year with QB Matt Wiiliams as a favor to Buck Fitzgerald to help the kid get more offer's. I don't think it helped that much though.

Kid from New Jersey?

The key to recruiting isn't offers, it's takes. With the previous coach, he took too many low rated guys. Most coaches play the offer deal the way pdogg described, make a ton of conditional offers and tell the kid they need to talk before accepting a commitment. I'm willing to wait and see who Tyndall takes before being critical.

It's like no one on the basketball boards has ever followed recruiting.

We need to be recruiting kids that don't need to do a bunch of stuff to be able to commit.

Almost every coach in America recruits kids who need to do things in order to commit. They do it for lots of reasons, mostly in order to get their toes in the door with a kid whom they think has potential to make strides over the next year to two years or as backups in case they miss primary targets.

Coaches don't just exclusively recruit kids who they'd take on the spot.

How has he looked in the RTL? All I see is that link where it says he was 8-11 for 17 points. But stats are obviously easy to inflate in RTL play, so I want to hear how he looks.

We could use a traditional big man, that way we can have different lineups and not get pounded into submission by guys like Daikari Johnson.

If we took Walters and Dequon Miller, that'd leave 2 spots for high school kids. Not bad considering how many current freshmen we have and how few current sophomores we have (1?). Take 1 high school point guard and 1 best player available type addition.

I was wondering how he did in RTL too?

Who knows but that pdogg guy has been money on quite a few items since Tyndall got here

Like? The only thing I remember him saying before others had reported it, that turned out correct, was about Thompson going to UVA or Purdue, and Basilio had already greported that.

Not saying he doesn't have inside info, but I don't recall him informing of us a committment before it happened, or injuries before they were reported etc.

I saw this kid play in high school... and he is now playing at my old alma mater, I don't think this is a good offer, unless the kid has really turned a corner.
