Anthony Ireland

[VCUTRU22]

According to ESPN he is a guy that we are considering for the class of 2010....5'10" guard. At first glance it makes you wonder if guard is a realistic recruit for next year but after looking at his stats....well you tell me....

Kid can drop some serious points. Great name too.

 

[VCUTRU22]

the assist, rebounds, and steals were impressive also....esspecially when you are scoring darn near 30 ppgs!

I think you have to pay attention to that stat line.

 

[VCUFTW]

yeah he can score, but do we really need another below 6' point guard next year?

I would be stunned if we signed another guard. We need double digit rebounders...we need double digit inside-the-paint points we can count on in the future.

I am excited with the 4 guards Coach Smart has signed before coaching his first game, but, again, we must get a good bigman. If not in the next 8 weeks with incoming visits, perhaps we'd be better off holding a scholarship for a future bigman, even a redshirt kid we develop for future inside play?

Yeah I don't think we have any interest in Anthony at this point. We have a ton of guards on this team and not enough bigs.

Agreed, obviously we are not looking at 5'10" guards at the present time. Those new to the recruiting game need to understand that schools contact many, many prospects each and every year. When the schools prioritize their needs the list of names is greatly reduced.

This is an extremely dynamic process and is literally subject to change at any time.

“I’m hearing the most from LMU [Loyola Marymount], St. Bonaventure, VCU, LaSalle, and Temple,” Ireland said. “Everyone but Temple has offered.”

Ireland is in no hurry to make a decision and said he won’t mind if he doesn’t end up signing until the late signing period in the spring.
