Ricardo Gathers?

Post by dthomas=ddixon »

Was watching the espnu signing day special & they brought up Ricardo Gathers, 6'7 240 lb PF, who just decommited from St Johns. One of the main schools that they said to watch out for was Oregon. Said you will be hearing the names Cal, Oregon & Kansas. Anymore know much more about this kid?

We have two more scholarships. We need a PF with one of them. And with the other, it seems like we might go the JC route. Either way, outside of Bennett right now, there's no obvious prospects DA's pursuing. Could make sense for us to pursue Gathers though.

"Riverside center Ricardo Gathers has decommited from St. John's and will not sign until next spring, Gathers said in a statement."

"Gathers averaged 20.7 points, 16.2 rebounds, 3.9 blocked shots, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals during a 33-6 season that ended with Riverside winning a second consecutive Class 2A state championship."

Like that he has a mid-range game. You don't see that in a lot of PFs out of high school and would seem to fit in with Altman's style of offense.

He was supposed to visit in August, but I don't think he ever did.

Phillip Nolan is supposedly opening up his recruitment. He's all over the place.

I think Oregon has a pretty good shot at Wanaah Bail if he ever decides to visit. I believe Houston filled up and I don't see him wanting to go to Texas Tech. Most of the other schools that offered him also filled up/took someone at his position.

We need a SF forward also... Singler and Emory will be seniors next year.
