Quick Hoops Recruiting Note - Friday 4/17
A source who spoke earlier today with Michigan transfer Colin Castleman said he's no longer considering Texas A&M and the Aggies have been eliminated.I'm waiting to hear back on the latest from Temple JC post Carlton Linguard. He was hoping to speak with Coach Williams today. If I hear back from him tonight, I will add that information to this thread. He said earlier in the week that he will publicly commit on Monday.
Quick Hoops Recruiting Update
I spoke tonight via text with 6'-11" Temple JUCO Carlton Linguard. The Texas A&M staff reconnected with Linguard this week after a scholarship spot came open when Yeezy Gultekin entered the transfer portal.Linguard is expected to speak directly with Buzz Williams either tomorrow or Friday to discuss his recruitment and the status of his offer.It should also be noted that Linguard told me he'll publicly commit on Monday, and for now his final four schools are Arizona State, Tulsa, Kansas State, and Texas A&M.Either way, it sounds like Linguard's recruitment is coming to the end of the process. We'll see how his conversation goes with Coach Williams, as the staff has been kicking the tires on several options to fill that spot. We'll keep you updated.
Hoops Recruiting Update - 3/27
I'm hoping to interview A&M target Carlton Linguard tomorrow to get some details, but I've heard through the grapevine that the Temple College freshman is focused on three schools...Colorado, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M.He has not taken any official visits, and would like to schedule trips to all three schools once the recruiting dead period (in effect because of the Coronavirus) is over. For now, that is April 15. However, if the dead period is extended significantly (and it looks that way for now), Linguard may go ahead and pick a school. He did visit A&M unofficially back in the fall. To my knowledge, I don't think he's visited either Tech or Colorado but I don't know that for a fact.If he can get to Boulder after the dead period, don't count out the Buffs. They were first to offer him and they've sold him on having a better offensive scheme to fit his skill set.Nothing new on Marfo since I updated you earlier this week.Hop
Quick Hoops Recruiting Note
The season for 6-foot-11 Temple post Carlton Linguard ended earlier this week so he's starting to think about his recruiting. He will schedule his first three visits by the end of this weekend. I asked if Texas A&M was still in his top group of schools, and he said, "Yes sir!. 100%"He's not sure if he can make the home finale tomorrow, but he's looking into it.FYI, in his last game, he was the leading scorer with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocked shots. For those that haven't followed his recruitment, he's a freshman who will have four years to play three. He's built like Rob Williams with a very long wingspan.Also, Logan reported earlier in the week that 2021 5-star guard Manny Obaseki from Allen will be at the game tomorrow on an unofficial.Hop
