2023 Recruiting: Tafara Gapare Decommits from DePaul

[ToolzieFan]

UMass it is.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

What a bizarre recruitment. Top 50 by 247 and it comes down to Depaul and UMass.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Great long-term spot, but especially as a reclass, I don't see him getting a lot of minutes.

BC transfer Gianni Thompson is my pick to start at the 4 for UMass. Captain quality work ethic, three-level scoring ability, athleticism and can defend multiple positions at 6'8 205 with length.

The Tre Mitchell experiment left me sour, but I'm very intrigued with UMass after the Frank Martin hire. He's one of my favorite coaches so I'll definitely want to catch a few of their games on TV.

Did Matt Cross get a waiver to play yet?

To be fair, Chicago is nice and all, but it is no Amherst, Massachusetts.

Without knowing anything, that tells me everything I need to know

Matt Cross just got the waiver. Interesting roster that Martin has cobbled together..

let's get UMass on the schedule instead of a cupcake. play them at XL.

 

[Vuce]

Why? What did he ever do at South Carolina except that 1 year where he had 2 very good players?

That’s actually true. In his last ten years Martin made the Final Four but that was the ONLY NCAA Tournament team he had. And in the last decade his teams only made the postseason twice - 1 NIT and 1 NCAA.

Is his mom banging a UMass assistant like Tre Mitchell’s was? Bizarre

 

[Umami Zen]

Frank has made friends in the Admissions Dept.. Perhaps it was always about a flexible academic load

I only learned about that pretty recently. How is it that everyone knows these things but me? Lol!

This feels like we avoided a headache. For some reason satisfied with this.

I’m not too close to his recruiting, but I feel like there are major red flags if a top 50, 4 star recruit is picking between George Washington, DePaul, and UMass.

You need to spend even more time on the Boneyard. Lol

I question my commitment.
