Roman's scoring comes in large part from close to the basket, but I'm fine with that. Not all centers have to be jump shooters. He takes pride in his defense, and I'm especially intrigued about his passing ability.
We'll invite him to campus this month, and Coaches Sims and Taylor will make the short journey to his home. Perhaps some individualized recruiting efforts will convince him to stay on our side of the Keystone State.
Let's take a look at
Joel Campbell next.

There's some potential here. Joel doesn't have a Grade A weapon in his arsenal, but he's at least average at all the things we ask a wing to do. He also seems to like our program a lot.
Jesse Gill's interest in playing for us seems to be cooling.

Jesse Gill is what happens when you take
Reed Weisberg and make his supplementary skills (the ones that aren't shooting) better. They're even both Jersey guys.
I'm so tempted to pursue Gill. He's that good. But North Carolina likes him too, they've made him an offer, and he prefers the Tar Heels and Boston College. I'll bring both Jesse and Joel to campus, but I'm going to offer the scholarship to Joel...at least for now.
