New York Kid Visiting Today?

[SLCPoke]

Got this info from trolling the GWG board....rivals has him listed as a PG but ESPN has him as a SF. I'd probably say Rivals is generally more reliable.

I don't know what this guy's potential is, but unlike previous Wyoming coaches, this staff is not just recruiting athletes. They are looking for players that are coachable, with excellent attitudes, and with a strong desire to play at Wyoming for a solid coaching staff. This staff must be doing something right, because these recruits who are being recruited by some big name schools, are taking a serious look at Wyoming.

3 star rivals recruit

But more importantly he has offers from

Arizona
Colorado
Seton Hall
Rice
Iowa State
Rutgers
St Johns
And many others

Nice set of offers. That would be a big addition to the pokes. Again when was the last time we have even been competing for kids like this let alone getting them to come in on an official visit.

I just watched some Youtube highlights of this kid and if Wyoming can somehow land him it would be a HUGE steal. The kid looks like the best recruit of all the kids we have recruited so far. He can jump out of the gym and is a great passer and can get to the basket anytime he wants it looks like. Go to YouTube and toss him name in the search and watch him.

Sorry, he is visiting TOMORROW. Not today

I've always thought the biggest challenge in recruiting was to get the players here on an official visit to begin with. That alone must garner impressive skills on the coaches' behalf.

And once here, the artful science of persuasion and impression seems so much more likely with this coaching staff vs the previous two.

If they really want the player, have him and his parents meet with the President and the AD. That lets theathlete know they are really serious about it.

Kelvin Amayo never visited Wyoming according to his twitter account , he has nothing mentioned about a visit here. Says something about going to the park today in New York or New Jersey. So guess this must have just been a rumor unless I am missing something. I thought I would check it out to see how the visit went but found nothing.

Haha! sorry man!
I was actually hoping he really was visiting after seeing his highlights.

I think he must still be taking a visit though because I scrolled down pretty far on his twitter page and saw the posting about him taking a visit after going to rice on a visit. I saw another blog that said Rick Pitino at Louisville contacted this kid with interest this week as well. He is a big time recruit so if Wyoming somehow landed him it would be a HUGE get.

Read somewhere that he didn't end up coming out and didn't know if he was going to end up coming out.
