To show how far he's come, here's a video from two years ago at the Ivory Coast.

How much do we know about this guy? Any issues such as age, academic eligibility, or handlers trying to get paid?

Maybe its naieve of me but with some of these people I see a distinction between a confidant trying to get the best deal and somebody basically importing a player from another country for his own personal gain and openly shopping him around.

Basketball U is also with Quentin Grimes and importantly they are Adidas affiliated which gives us an advantage over all of the other in state schools (and the national schools bar Kansas and Louisville).
Sahvir Wheeler is a Basketball University guy. Definitely the staff is working its way into this AAU organization.


Skeptical about Wheeler playing high major D1 ball because of his size, but if we land another quality recruit (or recruits) partly because Wheeler is helping recruit for us then signing a munchkin might be worth it for that alone.

So, I can't get the tweet to post, but it appears we offered 2019 PG Tre Mann from Gainesville.

Some highlights of Mayer in some Houston Hoops AAU action just a couple of weeks ago. The Scout recruiting site currently has him ranked as the #52 player nationally. Rivals/247 composite both have him currently ranked as a Top-100 2018 player nationally.

Similar to Savion Flagg, it looks like A&M got on Mayer really early before most other majors, offering him way back in October of 2015.

Baylor, Longhorns, and A&M have all offered him in-state, and he seems to mention those schools usually in his recruiting interviews. Barnes over at Tennessee among others has also been trying to recruit him.

Quote:

Austin Westlake small forward Matthew Mayer continued to display why he's such a touted prospect during EYBL session 1. The talented 6'7 wing/forward displayed great ability as a two-way player that can play multiple spots on the floor.

Mayer absolutely dominated against Indy Heat, finishing with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks and played a vital role in the blow victory for Houston Hoops. He may have turned in the highlight reel of EYBL session 1 when Matthew weaved his way through traffic in transition before absolutely crushing home a dunk on Brandon Johns. Beyond that impressive display of athleticism, Mayer knocked down two catch and shoot threes, created off the dribble and finished at the rim, attacked the glass and played great helpside defense. It is very easy to see why Scout's #52 player for 2018 is highly touted. He has the ball skills and shooting of a guard, while having the size and length of a forward. See below for highlights.

Let's see what Corey Evans said about that just a couple of days ago...

Matt Mayer
Quote:

is the ideal forward in today's game. He's someone who can step out and shoot the perimeter jumper and defend more than one spot, but is athletic enough in producing around the basket. His physical abilities and upside have made him a priority for the top programs in the state of Texas.

Hmmm...quotes in the interview, sounds like Mayer is most focused on choosing between either Baylor, Texas, or Texas A&M....and both his parents are graduates of....Texas A&M.

And he says that the A&M coaching staff has probably talked to him the most and pursued him the most [Note as mentioned in earlier post that we apparently offered him way back in October 2015].

So if we did land that Matt Mayer kid, are we happy with the pickup? One of the articles mentioned that he may still be growing a bit and get to around 6'8".

Back on Sept 1, 2016 (the UCLA football game weekend), the basketball staff hosted the following visitors:

Savion Flagg (signed with A&M)
  • TJ Starks (signed with A&M)
  • Victor Bailey Jr. (signed with Oregon)
  • Matt Mayer (2018 4-star wing)
  • Quentin Grimes (2018 5-star guard)
  • Sahvir Wheeler (2019 PG, committed to A&M)
  • Method Man

    Certainly would complain (until he misses his first shot).
