ZachTheZip Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Another short article about him. And don't be sure that we don't stand a chance against "bigger" schools. I think the loss of Jeff Boals hurt us for a little bit, but the coaching staff is bouncing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hard to really know what a kid is looking for in terms of recruitment. Far to many variables go into such a decision. -Location. Does the kid want to be close to home? Is he looking for a little distance b/w himself and Mom and Dad? Is he looking for something in between? -Academics. How committed is the kid to academics? Does he view them as secondary to playing basketball or is he using basketball to get himself a good, free education? Does he have a particular field of study he wants to go into that the particular University offers or is well known for? -Coaching/Teamates/System. Is the kid looking to play in an uptempo, high scoring type of system? Does he value defense more? Is he looking for a coach who is going to push him more and hold him accountable or does he want to be in control of his own game? Is he a "me first" kind of guy or is he a "team first" kind of guy? -Long term goals. This one is kind of related to academics, but does the kid look at himself as a future pro who just needs the right situation to attract the eyes of the NBA or does he view basketball as a gateway to an education that he will be able to use for the rest of his life? -Playing time. Is the particular team loaded with young talent at this players position such that he's staring down a big fight for minutes or are they graduating their only real contributor at that position and looking for an immediate contributor to fill the void? Is the player alright with having to redshirt or is a redshirt and absolute red flag? These are just a few of the issues that are going through a recruits mind during the whole process. What issues and how much weight each individual recruit gives to them are far too difficult to tell. As for Harrison-Docks, I've seen his name floated around some on the web in connection with the Zips. Definitly someone to keep an eye on, as his early recruitment indicates that he has some perceived talent. Probably a little too early to be making predictions on what a high-school sophomore is going to do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old timers might remember Butch Lee who led Puerto Rico to a near upset over the USA in Olympic basketball. He decided to attend Marquette to play basketball because he liked the way the University's name was spelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
