Interview with Hysier Miller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0XmT3Bjj7M
Talks mainly about Philly basketball and his game: nice to hear how he's learning a lot on how to move without the ball. Seems really well reasoned, takes in a lot of advice from his coaches throughout the year on how to improve and to focus on things beyond basketball. He talks briefly about recruitment: has an expectation for a fall commitment and isn't necessarily concerned with staying in Philly so long as he's comfortable with the coaching staff wherever he lands.

2021 6'5" PG Nick Marshall (River Hill / Team Thrill UAA) received an offer from Penn
https://twitter.com/jakelieberman2/status /12853681...
https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12134292/5e75 8d9732dc...
Offers from Rice, UNCW, Dartmouth.
From his highlights, reads defense really well, very athletic, creates space, shoots well off the pass and dribble, and isn't afraid to attack the basket. Would be a nice pickup.
Looks like a great sleeper PG, something Donahue and co are great at finding and developing, but I'm not sure why we have yet to offer more forwards/bigs.
* Also from his highlights it seems he only has a right hand dribble / layup

Nick Marshall tells me that Penn just offered him. They just completed a Zoom call.

Noticed this too: I think it’s because St Joes got on a call with him a few days ago, and while they didn’t offer, they might and he doesn’t want to close them out.

Yeah he delayed cutting down apparently as some others getting involved, but seems like we are recruiting him heavily. Some good info on St. Joes boars here in this thread:

Just wondering what makes you say we’re recruiting him hard: beyond the initial offer zoom call I haven’t seen public mention of anything else

From the SJU message board:
"Once Penn learned he had a strong academic profile, they have been recruiting him HARD!!"
"East Carolina and Penn are truly PRESSING!"

Yep 91Quake nailed exactly what info I was going on ^^^
For reference, I do follow the other Big 5 school message boards fairly regularly, and the poster who said that is a big Philly basketball guy. His website is here: https://delgrecowilson.com/ (has good content around local basketball and prospects and had a weekly show on local ESPN radio, at least prior to pandemic times).

Huh thanks for insight! While this answers one question it raises another: how do they know this?

One of the things he does is advise high school players and help get them recruited. Elsewhere on St. Joes/Temple boards (don’t remember specific post) he has said he knows Hysier personally since he was little, so I’m guessing that feedback is pretty direct from the source from players perspective at least.
I personally love what I’ve seen and read about Hysier Miller online so I hope he’s right that our staff is pushing hard.

The guy who writes that is VERY connected to Miller... if he’s writing it I would take it as true

You really think that there will be any kind of basketball season this year?

Quite frankly, I don't. Can't see that there will be a safe path in November or December when a decision needs to be made with having even an IL season. Feel like I am being cheated out of one of my greatest pleasures.
Just one more reason to vote the incumbent out in November though I acknowledge there are hundreds of more important reasons - incompetence being the primary one.

And if you see what just happened here with the Marlins, once an infected player is in contact with the others, they all get it.

I have also noticed that, despite what I have read, many players in the dugout do NOT wear masks, they are still spitting and balls don't seem to be taken out of play as quickly as I thought they would, e.g. after two players have touched it on a particular play.

I'm hopeful for next year. Either way, recruiting will go on and we need bigs and a PG.
And I think if anything it is IL only (maybe big 5) w lots of testing, all buses, and no fans.

Players go through a pretty rigorous testing protocol (every week), so that may make the players feel more secure. That may be a false sense, as of course testing isn't perfectly accurate and Covid-19 could be incubating at the time. It's certainly better than nothing.
