GTMBB Recruiting, 2017.

I'm leaving the Basketball Recruiting threads to DTM1997.
He seems to want them and glad to surrender to his scoops, leads and knowledge.

Go Jackets!
 
I'll maintain responsibility for recruiting badminton, ping pong, stars for Tech FB commits, generally bad eating and drinking habits, and sniffing glue.

I thought reading recruiting here was going to be all inclusive? Figured there has to be more than what is being posted here? Maybe he's leaving again for a few weeks?

 
Yeah, I have a desire to read the updates like you gents. I really thought he was going to dig the data out. No sense in two of us doing it. A friend told me he jumps around to different sites when he is criticized or belittled. Told Glenn W. does that as well.

I probably need to place him on ignore or develop a tougher skin. My feelings are such that if I'm going to go after this information, might as well share it with our fellow Jackets. Especially here, where loyalty exists between people who have been friends for a long time in "hive years".
 
Fresh off of winning the 17U AAU National Championship last week, four-star Alabama Challenge combo guard Herb Jones got off to a quick start against the Jackson Tigers, knocking down the first two three-point attempts en route to 25 points. When you watch Jones, you can see his on-court leadership. Not so much vocally but in his poise and how he controls the pace of play when the ball is in his hands.

The 6-foot-7, 183-pound Jones, sports a 6-foot-11 inch wingspan that allows him to be quite disruptive on defense. On the rare occasion that his man got by him, Jones' length made it difficult for his man to get off a clean shot. A versatile player, Jones plays with great confidence.

Alabama Challenge uses Jones off the ball but he plays point guard, which he feels is his natural position, for his high school.

Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Western Kentucky were all top-of-mind when we spoke to Jones following the game. The No. 90 prospect in the 2017 class does not appear to be too focused on recruiting but did acknowledge that he is considering cutting his list in August.
 
Four-star forward Rayshaun Hammonds almost quietly goes about his business when he is on the court for Alabama Challenge, but the skilled lefty definitely makes his presence known. At 6-foot-8, 215 pounds, Hammonds is a lanky forward with elite athleticism who will knock down open perimeter shots. When the defense attempted to take that away, Hammonds put it on the floor and got to where he wanted to go – usually the cup to finish above the rim. The No. 67 prospect said that he is wide open but mentioned that he is hearing regularly from Florida, Texas, Georgia, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and that Alabama has been turning up the heat.
 
The work is evidently seen through his numbers and production as schools have really heated things up for the rising senior. “Xavier, Georgia, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Florida, and a lot of others,” Brown recalled as to those that he speaks with the most often. “I will probably narrow things down to a final six but we will see how I feel during the visits and how the coaches treat me.”

Thought this thread might be most appropriate to post this in since it is focused on recruiting... http://georgiatech.blog.ajc.com/2016/07/29/more-from-labarrie-pastner-unreal-in-recruiting-effort/

First, LaBarrie has been taken by Pastner’s zeal for recruiting. Back in June when we spoke, he said he had never been a part of a staff that had had so many unofficial visits in such a short period of time.

“I don’t think I’m exaggerating this,” he said. “I think in the last month, I’ve been a part of more unofficial visits than I have in my other nine years of coaching, combined. We’ve had two and three kids come in in a day. We just have a lot of work to do.”

...

“I would say Paul (Hewitt), he was probably the best (recruiter) that I’ve been around,” said LaBarrie, who was a grad assistant and then an assistant coach to Hewitt. “But Josh is unreal. I don’t think the guy sleeps or eats. He just coaches and recruits all day long. He’s always sending us information, he’s always talking to people. He’s just so high energy that it makes you raise your level or you look bad.”
