2017 Basketball Recruiting

Maxwell Evans out of Bellaire decided on Vanderbilt.

However, we made the Final 4 for Ethan Chargois who’s a 3* (4* on ESPN) PF out of Union City HS in Oklahoma (6’7" 225):

No stars, but the kid has tons of offers from a number of top schools.

Jase Febers has an official visit at UH during Sept. 3 weekend. Hopefully CS gets a commitment from him then.

Jared Vanderbilt was at UH on a visit a couple of days ago

I keep hearing Vanderbilt may commit to Jamie Dixon and the purple frogs.

Seems like Jase is climbing up the boards. #45 now, according to 247sports.

Would be UH’s highest recruit since Danuel House. Plus, he’s local.

Got a feeling if he comes here, there will be many more with him.

Looking at his scheduled visits, I got a feeling that his favorite right now is Houston then Texas and etc…

Can’t lose this hometown kid to UT. Absolutely not.

A sideline guest at nrg? Not sure what is involved in visits but this coming weekend is good time to be around campus. Lots of buzz for UH sports…

Jase Febres is visiting UH as we speak right now. UH can’t let him leave campus without a commitment. He would be the first big fish coach Sampson would get.

Febres will probably drag out his commitment like J. Allen did. He will probably want to see who else we get since we have a ton of scholarships. Same AAU as well.

You’re right Patrick, college basketball recruiting is so dirty.

Progs,

In that Tramel article that @PAWRFUL posted, did you notice the section on the Development Facility.

We sat in Sampson’s office, overlooking the practice gym, in which NBA player Gerald Green was working out. James Harden is scheduled to stop by Friday and play some basketball. Harden also is expected to be on the sideline of the football game Saturday.

I wonder if Harden was called in to help with Febres. Also have noticed that quite a few NBA guys are using the facility for practice. Sam Dekker was there a couple of weeks ago, Isaiah Canaan was using it about a month ago, and a few others.

Hopefully, the facility will help attract current NBA players who will help attract &/or develop UH players and prospects. This is part of coach Sampson’s NBA background and experience at work.

Along with Febres, Fabian White is visiting UH right now.

A trio of Febres, White, & Adewumni, would be a solid way to build up the program. All, are ranked in the top 20 in state, according to Texas Hoops.
