I don't want say anything. I and others, who really follow recruiting better then me thought that USF was going to land local product and JC All American SF Rashawn Fredericks too until something strange went wrong in the 11th hour. I will take a wait and see with these local prospects when it comes to USF men's basketball. Not getting Fredericks was a blow to ribs for HC Gregory, staff and others. Torres is legit and a beast of a true PG. Day 1 starter based on what you know and instantly becomes 1 of the top PGs in the league

Working on it. Land Torres and you can fill the rest of the roster out with grad transfers

If USF lands this kid we could have the best back court in the American with he and Collins plus Quincy Rideau, X-man, and Brown. Gotta hope this happens

Torres just completed his sophomore season and was named a junior college All-American after averaging 17.2 points and 8.1 assists per game, second-most in the nation on the assists. "He has so much potential. He already is a great player, but he's got a chance to be a special, special player by the time he's done." Wichita State has made the final cut for Torres, who took his official visit to WSU earlier this week. Torres told the Eagle he is also considering conference rivals SMU and South Florida, Auburn, and Virginia Tech. Torres, who also visited SMU, will decide "soon" after completing his final visit to South Florida this weekend.

visited USF this past weekend and is making a decision on which college he will call home. Everyone in the AAC is seemingly after him. Yes he is yet another homegrown talent. It is believed that this will be the 4th local guy USF has offered this class alone. The Fredericks decision not to come here was a major stinger. Let's hope this JC AA local kid decides to play for USF and not against USF. Commitment coming on Wednesday! https://t.co/JipiEOR5nC

Yep he's ours now. Great signing. Find at least 1 more more then capable contributor for next season and good things will happen

The most disappointing recruiting news in the CBG era so far Joey Knight‏ @TBTimes_Bulls Former @ChamboBBALL star Rashawn Fredericks, who visited @USFMBB two weekends ago, says he no longer is considering the Bulls. 6:37 PM - 16 Apr 2018 from Florida, USA USF put all there eggs in this guy's basket only to get the news they weren't expecting by all accounts. Looks like schools such as Arkansas and Baylor came calling out of no where for him and the kid dropped the hometown school off his list completely. USF really needs to put more of their focus on recruiting non Tampa, or Florida kids imo. CBG needs to find himself another Chad Dollar type with ties to southeastern states outside of the state of Florida and bring in the talent to help build this program. Dollar was very good for CBG and USF in his short time here. We greatly thank him.

JucoRecruiting.com‏ @JucoRecruiting Edwin Jeudy (6’7, F, 2018) of Gillette College has committed to Lamar 12:14 PM - 17 Apr 2018

Not that I know of. Looks like his recruitment is in a holding mode right now. The guy that USF really wants is Fredericks, a Tampa native, who visited last weekend.

Yes the Dollar loss is a BIG ONE.

The team is going to be better next season. Coach Gregory needed scholarships and he now has them. Holston leaving is no surprise as it was expected. Injuries have robbed him of his explosion and agility. Minimum PT at best if he stayed. Martin wouldn't be getting starters minutes next season and clearly he's a guy that wants that. Would've love if he stayed but I understand if he still wants to chase his dream of the NBA elsewhere. Got a real nice class coming in with what's coming back. 3 more possible recruits will be added. Excited for the future of USF men basketball.

Never lived up to expectations and often injured his entire time at Maryland. He won't be a starter here at USF either so the little points he will give us is better served coming from a JC player or freshman. Don't want Wiley in the way of a player that can develop at USF.

Tremendous pickup for USF as the recruiting guys have stated. Should be an instant starter and top 3 or 4 player for USF next season. Coach Gregory not done either. With the post player committed, looks like the focus goes to SF or SG, maybe both should a scholarship come open.

Hard pass. Not a difference maker type. Let's try and build through JC or HS. Surely we can get someone to produce 4pts a game

Rashawn Fredericks‏ @RFredericks_ South Florida, Alabama Birmingham, Florida gulf coast, Ole miss, Top 4 (no order) **** good player wing player at 6-6. Old video of him

1-on-1 with NCJAA standout Edwin Jeudy MR. DOUBLE DOUBLE AVERAGED 13 AND 10 FOR GILLETTE, WY One of the most coveted Canadians playing junior college is 6-foot-7 Edwin Jeudy. This Thetford Academy product from Montreal, QC has just wrapped up his sophomore season at Gillette Community College in Wyoming. A campaign that saw his Pronghorns finish their season at 27 and 4. An instrumental Jeudy averaged an eye-opening double-double -- 13 points and 10.5 rebounds per game -- significant strides statistically from his freshman season that saw him average 11.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. In two seasons under Pronghorns head coach Shawn Neary, Jeudy played a part in 59 victories. However, in last weeks Region IX Tournament quarterfinals, the Pronghorns were upset by Trinidad State ending their season prematurely. Verification came Monday when they were omitted from the National Tournament selection process despite their 27-4 campaign. Junior College is for dogs. If you can return home with a double-double to your name that means you are a junkyard dog. Is Jeudy meaner than a junkyard dog? Canadian Ballers tossed it up with Mr. Double Double last week ahead of his conference tournament. CB: Monster season. Especially on the glass. Anything you have done specifically to improve statistically the way you have? EJ: Well, last summer in 2017 I did a lot of workouts to improve my game, I had a great trainer called “Empire Basketball” he did a great job to keep me in shape over the summer but I improve on so many aspects on my game especially my jump shot. From my freshman year to sophomore year at Gillette, I can tell there a huge difference in my shooting percentage. CB: The stretch this season of six straight double-doubles. What is your secret to corralling so many boards? Is that something you saw your self-doing ahead of the season? EJ: I always knew I could be good on the glass. It’s just a question of mindset and giving all I got on the court. There no secrets pretty much, bring a lot of energy on the court and be hungry for the rebounds. Because of that, it helps my teams a lot. CB: Some say you're a wing. Do you prefer a position? Any players past or present, pro or collegiately you model your game after? EJ: I consider myself a 3 and 4 or just a stretch 4. Because I can do both well. But I would do anything that a coach tells me to do on the court. I could say like our famous Canadian rebounder Tristan Thompson with some touch of Draymond Green. CB: Earlier in your career you were linked as a point guard, is that something you like to demonstrate from the forward position these days? Is a point forward something you could be classified as or are you more of a scorer first? EJ: Well I always wanted to be a point guard since a was a kid but I fall to be a forward because I found out I could be very good in this position. Could say more Point Forward, I love passing the ball to my teammates and also love to make them look good by passing the ball to them.

Russ Wood‏ @RussHoops Gillette College sophomore forward Edwin Jeudy (@EddieJayy14) tells me that he has set a official visit to USF for April 6.

You might be right about this.

Since he has open up his recruiting, he since gotten offers from Louisiana Tech and Texas Rio Grande Valley. Assuming he was seeking bigger offers....

Now let's start recruiting. Recruit the guys that are in coming back. Recruit some better players then the ones that are leaving. USF needs a huge offseason.

Yes got to get better in the frontcourt. Losing Manderson really hurts. Sceckic is a good screen guy and team player, but he really can't contribute much offensively. He does have a role on the team but they are desperate for more help up front. Without Lanston now, Coach Gregory better really hit on his late season additions. They don't need to be guys sitting out either. Need to be talented guys that can contribute immediately.
