Looks like Shrewsberry has hired Miami assistant Adam Fisher as Associate Head Coach. I know he has recruited some Team Takeover guys in DC pretty well. Good addition to the staff.

Interesting. He sounds like an old Chambers guy.
Sounds like he also worked for Chambers at Boston.Yeah. PSU grad. First worked for Jay Wright, then came back to PSU to work for Chambers.

Went to Miami and worked for Larranaga, which is very good. His resume is very good.
Interesting that he comes back to PSU and does it now
Fantastic first hire and not because he is a PSU guy. I'd live to see the next assistant have philly recruiting ties. I know that Del Wilson was saying a St Joe Hawk guy is possibly coming aboard, but I don't know who or at what position. Let's get these guys onboard and on the hunt for talent.
He was a student team manager first for Dunn, then DeChellis. Jay Wright's brother was his coach at Central Bucks East.
Caputo and Larranaga himself were Miami's big guns in the Baltimore/DC area. But Fisher did really, really well in Philly, and combining him with a guy like Geoff Arnold would absolutely solidify us as a player in Philly.Coach Shrews may yet hire an assistant with direct Philly ties (Geoff Arnold??), but Fisher is from Eastern PA and Miami has recruited Philly very well. I just watched a YouTube podcast featuring Fisher and fellow Miami assistant Chris Caputo with Delgreco Wilson of The Black Cager, so that connection already exists for Fisher.
It's my understanding Fisher was Miami's primary recruiter for the Philly area.
It's like you copied my post from the other thread.You want an instant reboot:
Find a way to get Timberlake and C Tre Mitchel from UMass.
Sessoms
Dread
Lundy
Timberlake
Mitchell
Yeah coach I put that in the other thread I think he's now a possibility where before I wouldn't have thought about him being serious about Penn State.I know G Earl Timberlake (DeMatha) is transferring from Miami...maybe we have a shot at him. Just thinking out loud.
Landing Tre Mitchell is probably going to require an assistant coaching slot. We're as well positioned to do that as anyone, though it's unclear if Shrewsberry will make that move.You want an instant reboot:

promise I didn't. great minds think alike?It's like you copied my post from the other thread.
I don’t follow your logic... are you saying we have to hire a specific assistant coach to get Mitchell? Why not hire the best assistant coach and then let Mitchel choose. Crazy to hire a coach just to attract one player.Landing Tre Mitchell is probably going to require an assistant coaching slot.

not to be a jerk but that has happened a fair amount in College Sports over the years - not sure it makes sense but seems like more than a few schools thinks it's worth it.I don’t follow your logic... are you saying we have to hire a specific assistant coach to get Mitchell?

When Tre Mitchell was coming out of Woodstock Academy, he had offers for a whole bunch of major conference schools coming out of high school. He chose UMass. UMass, at the same time, hired Woodstock Academy's coach. Now Mitchell is in the portal, and the UMass assistant coach is engaged to Mitchell's mother. You can put 2+2 together.I don’t follow your logic... are you saying we have to hire a specific assistant coach to get Mitchell? Why not hire the best assistant coach and then let Mitchel choose.

Would like to see Taylor Battle stay
That does sound like it could be a package deal, but if he likes his future stepdad then why not stay at UMass.When Tre Mitchell was coming out of Woodstock Academy, he had offers for a whole bunch of major conference schools coming out of high school.

Ok maybe Mitchell is not a good option.lolWhen Tre Mitchell was coming out of Woodstock Academy, he had offers for a whole bunch of major conference schools coming out of high school. He chose UMass.

Currently a soph...and yes.Isn’t Shrewsberry’s son a big recruit? I think he has a couple of years to go, though.

Now THATS a committed recruiter!When Tre Mitchell was coming out of Woodstock Academy, he had offers for a whole bunch of major conference schools coming out of high school. He chose UMass.

Why would you think that? Pistol Pete went to LSU, which was not a good place to go at the time for basketball.Yeah I read somewhere that Virginia has already been recruiting him.
I have to think that there's a non-zero chance he wants to play for his dad's team in college.
He could do that at Penn State...There are seven x-Woodstock players at U Mass and the asst coach says he is staying. Hard to say if he will or not. Mitchell will almost certainly end up at a top 15 program surrounded by a full complement of talented players and then head to the NBA after one year.
No indication I've seen that Collier is considering entering the portal. He might start at Pitt next year at PF if their current kid declares for the draft.Ok maybe Mitchell is not a good option.lol
Is Noah Collier from pitt in the portal? Would be another good possibility
