Someone explain how basketball recruiting works and the signing dates. I see there is a signing date coming up in a few weeks. Is it normal to not have any players signed for the next year or committed at this point? We have more football commits to sign 8 months from now than we do basketball in less than 8 weeks.

Unless this is par for the course I don't see how MA gets another year. In fact I'm wondering how many years we are set back even if they make a change.

There are two signing periods.

You have to have scholarships available to sign players, unlike football it isn't normal to sign 30% of a roster every year.

Mike signed 54% (7/13) of the roster last year.

Sills, Embery, Joe, Phillips, Henderson, Chaney and Ali.

No seniors this year because it was the Jimmy Whitt and Lorenzo Jenkins class.

Gafford leaving makes room for one but we don’t have any current commits plus however many transfers leave after the next loss.
