I think he plays point, BUT he's eligible immediately next season for only one year. Played 2 years of D1 ball and considered a junior.

Found this on Philly.com (italics mine)
“Dylan is interested in finding a program that will allow him to play the role of a traditional point guard so he can be the primary ball-handler,” (Jay) Wright said in a statement."

That's just the quickest link I found.

I bet Abdelmassih contacts him.
 
Hmm... Nkereuwem leaving RU. I wonder if he is going down a level or just calling it a career?

@VerbalCommits: Rutgers G/F Nkereuwem Okoro is leaving the program. (HT @NJHoopsHaven) http://t.co/6x3KCbOcwe

Matt is going to get St. Johns in on a lot of these transfers. Especially the kids from the right coast. Not really sure that will take much away from what Fred is doing here, though.
 
Not a big deal. SJU and ISU are going to cross paths a lot more often on the recruiting trail so we better get used to it. We still have Fred which is our biggest advantage over everyone else when it comes to transfers

St. John's is the new ISU.

Sometimes there is a big advantage to being a brand new coach.

Our rotation is probably a little more solidified, so that hurts us some.

Plus let's face it, Ames is one of the hardest places in the country to recruit to.

Sorry, I hate this excuse. You're not recruiting a player to live somewhere the rest of his life, you're recruiting him to come and play in a certain system with certain players under a certain coach. That should be the main focus, not what city you're in. If playing in Ames takes away from playing under a top notch coach on a top 15 team in one of the best conferences in the country just because it's not sunny enough or not big enough then I don't want them anywhere near the program. Their focus should be what is offered in basketball and academics, not if they can wear shorts in December or if they can be near a big city.

100+ years of Cyclone athletics proves that it's hard to recruit there.

There is virtually no talent in-state, so you're automatically recruiting guys that are from far away, and have a hard time relating to a small town like Ames.

MBB is much easier than FB, because at least the northern climate states have a lot of basketball talent, so at least you don't have to overcome that. But there is still a big cultural difference.

In Lee's case, you're talking about a guy from Baltimore, who goes to school in Philly currently. I would say St. John's is a lot closer to his comfort zone than Ames.

Go look at LSU and some of the recruits these southern schools with very little basketball tradition pull in each year.

It's sickening.
 
How do you put people on ignore?

I've compiled a sizable list.

It depends on the individual. Most big city players we've recruited love Ames. Niang is a good example. Stinson couldn't say enough about how happy he was at Iowa State. I think the distance from family, friends, and a familiar environment is the hardest thing to bring them in..

I totally agree with that, but even getting them here for a visit, or getting them to think outside the box a little, is the hard part.
