Beat out VA Tech, Seton Hall, St John's, and WVa. Staff is KILLING IT!!!!
For those of you keeping score at home, the staff has beaten the following for recruits just this class: VA Tech (twice!), GTown, UConn, Maryland, Miami, Providence, Seton Hall (twice!), South Carolina, TCU, Georgia, Providence, WVa, and St Johns (among many others). Granted, their interests varied in intensity, but these were all legit offers to the kids we've snagged.
Pretty good, huh?

Pet peeve: when media people says a "source" confirmed the commitment and the recruit posted the commitment on social media. Watkins posted at 7:13 a.m. and Evans posted at 7:29 a.m.
Minutes should be available for Watkins to impact the program immediately. He is a tough and athletic forward that contributes on both ends. Competing against the best at the Nike Peach Jam in July, Watkins boosted his stock tremendously where he posted per-game averages of 13 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.8 steals, reflecting his ability to contribute in a variety of ways. Watkins becomes the third member of VCU's 2020 class. Next fall, he will join Ace Baldwin and Josh Banks in Richmond. Another versatile forward could compete the Rams' 2020 class as they remain in pursuit of Mikeal Brown-Jones, DJ Gordon and Obinna Anochili-Killen.
