Tariq's father tweeted that he grew over the summer now he is 6'10 with a 7-4 wingspan..Wow Wow Wow. A little nervous about the late Georgetown offer..
He signed a LOI so it is a done deal.
I think the fact that Georgetown came in late and we STILL signed him is a good sign for the future of this program. The fact that a program of that caliber came in and we were still able to secure a commitment from this young man reflects well on Christian and his staff's ability to compete with the big boys.
Like it or not, the fact is programs at the major level continue to recruit kids after the kid gives a verbal. If we want to play at this level, our staff needs to be ready for that. It appears they are.
While I am not going to argue we have a hoops program on the level of VCU or Temple or Miami (FL) or Georgetown I do think we are to the point we can compete with them in recruiting.
Ohio University: Good school, amazing campus, committed leadership, strong tradition, good arena, good atmosphere... The only real weakness is that we are in the MAC.. But hey, we have been able to win tourney games from here so who cares? Christian has what he needs to be successful here.
