First commitment of the class. Moses Wood is a 6'8" Combo/SF out of Reno. He's ranked 3 star by ESPN and 247. He also has offers from Hofstra and LaSalle. His Dad played in the NBA. I would have to believe this was a Doug Stewart recruit.

So, watching him in High School was pretty cool, we had a pretty good run...Pierre Gaudin then Jordy Hultberg and then Darryl Moreau. some good players on St Charles.
Fan since 1965 and was at the 14-0 Victory over LSU. It can be done.

Saw this tweet from Crabtree's Prep School teammate:
https://twitter.com/Trey5mac_/status/957341683598979074
Trey McGowens is a solid 4 star, rated .9586 on 247. He's got 10/15 impressive offers from perennial tourny teams. Getting Crabtree to then get McGowens would be a master stroke for Dunleavy.

Also noticed that Crabtree committed to UNC Ashville last year before receiving a release to attend the Virginia military prep school he's at, wonder what happened there.

Hargrave Academy is one of the "Powerhouse" prep schools for basketball in the country. There's about a dozen of them, if not more. Their second Varsity basketball teams could beat most public HS teams around the country. Their first really only plays elite competition.

Crabtree appears to be the leading scorer, and hits a lot of 3 point shots. There's a lot of talent on their roster, and he's one of the best players coming out of there. This is a big signing, for sure.

Or maybe it just means they're roommates at the Academy.

Touche. Still a solid inside track for the 4star.

Anyone up in the Northeast familiar with this guard from Seton Hall that's getting his release? Seems that we're his primary landing spot.

@jellyfam_j is his Twitter handle. There's lots of highlights in his Twitter feed. A lot to like there. Lets hope.

Also, check this out. He's part of this JellyFam group. Something New York street basketball style.

247 rankings updated. Tulane up to #4 in the AAC! 73 nationally

https://247sports.com/Season/2018-Baske ... erence=AAC

Also Jordan Walker was a .8894 coming out of HS last year, as close to a 4 star as you can get.

Is Walker definitely coming to Tulane; and does anyone know if Zhang passed the ACT (or got the sufficient score?)

I haven't seen anything where Walker has made a decision yet.

He’ll sit one and play one because he’s going pro after that. He’s Dunleavy’s best recruit to date. Tulane scored big on this kid. Too bad he can’t play immediately.

Anyone know if he was injured this past season? He only played in 17 games with no starts and averaged 1.8 points.
