BBall Recruiting Thread 2k16- SJM, Washington, Childress & Mitchell sign NLIs; 2017?

Danny Manning and his staff exceeded all expectations by recruiting an outstanding class of 2015, securing commitments from C Doral Moore (RSCI #59), PG Bryant Crawford (RSCI #87), and PF John Collins. Moore, Crawford, and Collins will join Manning's 2014 recruits SG/SF Cornelius Hudson (UR) and PF/C Dinos Mitoglou (UR), two players who have shown promise thus far during their freshmen season.

With four scholarships currently available for the 2016-2017 season, Manning and his staff should have plenty of versatility recruiting what is looking to be an outstanding class of 2016.

Class of 2016

6'0 PG Brandon Childress, 6'11 C Samuel Japhet-Mathias, 6'8 SF/PF Donovan Mitchell, and 6'6 SG/SF Richard Washington are the the class of 2016:

--Childress is rated a 3-star prospect on Scout (NR), Rivals (NR), ESPN (#32 PG), and 247 (#224 overall/#39 PG).
--Japhet-Mathias is rated a 4-star prospect on Scout (#91 overall/#20 C), Rivals (NR), and 247 (#89 overall/#13 C), and 3-star prospect on ESPN.
--Mitchell is rated a 3-star prospect on Scout (NR), Rivals (#148 overall), and 247 (#171 overall/#43 PF), and a 2-star prospect on ESPN (#74 PF).
--Washington is rated as a 3-star prospect on Scout (#29 SG), Rivals (NR), ESPN (#42 SG), and 247 (#200 overall/#34 SG).

Wake also added freshman shooting guard Keyshawn Woods, a transfer from Charlotte with three years of eligibility remaining beginning in the 2016-2017 season. Woods will sit out 2015-2016 as per NCAA transfer rules. Woods chose Wake over Butler, Creighton, South Carolina, and St. Joseph's.
--Woods was rated a 4-star prospect on Scout (#30 SG), a 3-star prospect on Rivals (UR) and 247 (#353 overall/#81 SG), and a 2-star prospect on ESPN (#86 SG).

Top Prospects and Un/official Visits:

It remains to be seen whether Manning signs another player in the class of 2016.

Harry Giles and Samuel Japhet-Mathias visited over the weekend of September 19. Koby McEwen visited on August 28th and Eli Wright visited on August 11th; Giles and McEwen chose to go elsewhere.

2016 prospect Marques Bolden, and 2017 prospects Mohammed Bamba, P.J. Washington, Alex Barcello, David Caraher, and Curtis Hollis have taken unofficial visits.

So how much longer until we got a commitment from Lil Chill? Seems like a formality to me.

Maybe he wants to think about whether or not he wants to play in his dad's shadow and be coached by his dad.
 
I was talking to some Hoo fans about Manning's recruiting. They were very complimentary saying that our whole staff is out working every other staff on the East Coast. They also mentioned that they thought Ty Graves was ours if he we want him.

Ty Graves highlights

 
Maybe he wants to think about whether or not he wants to play in his dad's shadow and be coached by his dad.

Yeah, this is the only reason I can see him going elsewhere. This is also the reason I hope he doesn't get wind of all the "he doesn't have to be on a scholarship b/c of his dad" talk. He likely wants to be recruited for his own merits, not just b/c his dad can get a family discount.
 
They also mentioned that we were a serious contender for Giles without me prompting them. So others around the conference that are paying attention have taken note of that recruitment.
