I mean, on paper this would be our biggest pickup in years?
Looks like a “Purdue Fan” has already shamed us…hmmmm
From June 21, 2022 Prephoops report of the 2023 standouts from the KABC shootout:
6’5 SF Linton-Stockton (IN) 2023: Hart got the gym jumping with a lefty dunk off his right foot, showing some impressive explosiveness and coordination. Hart is a big time scorer who is required to create for himself a lot on his high school team. Hart gets to his spots well and can really score it from the mid-range area. Hart right now is a priority at the mid-major level with double-digit Division I offers.
Looks like he may be a coach’s son?
Missouri State offers
Annual Charlie Hughes Shootout this weekend in Carmel IN and nearby venues. Players include Markus Burton, Joey Hart, Zane Doughty, Sam Orme.
Toledo offer.
Is this typical of a mid-major recruit to announce a top 4? Seems more typical of a top 50 recruit nationally, not Joey Hart.
You be you Joey Hart…who cares, we are not in it.
Not unusual at all. I see it a bit more with our football recruits than our basketball recruits, but not uncommon.
I’m not surprised to see us not in his top 4 either. With either 0 or 1 spot left, there’s a good chance we don’t see much activity within the class of '23 until the staff has a better idea of weakness through gameplay and who might be leaving. Would make sense for the staff to hold onto that potential open space for a transfer or a late bloomer. We probably need to be open to the idea that even though Miami has never been a program with a lot of incoming transfers, the transfer portal has changed recruiting and we’re at a disadvantage if we don’t use it at least once a year.
Recruiting Twitter has gotten a little out of control-I saw a kid with a full blown color graphic announcing he was coming BACK from the portal.
Evansville seems to be his hometown team. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s trying to build up excitement there before he commits.
The social media graphics are, oddly, a major part on recruiting these days.
It’s criminal that last coaching staff did nothing by the way of social media besides tweet about Purdue
