2021 PG Isael Silva (6-2, 170, 2★) Kid is silky smooth. Last few guards remind me a lot of Timmy. Isael has visited a lot of the California schools, including Standford.

Some good competition for him. It would be great to beat out the likes of Nevada and Cincinnati.

Also tweeted around the same time from another 2019 Fresno area recruit (who has some big time offers):

As for Gillam's tweet it looks like we offered him back in June of 2017 (UC offered him in August). I wonder if that tweet is him narrowing the schools down to the 3 schools that he's considering. He'd be a real nice get for the Griz!
 
Grizzly fans you were duped by either your media relations or your Head coach. Karl Nicholas was no where near the 17th best rated recruit in Texas. Rivals had him as the 60th rated recruit in Texas. The Houston Chronicle had him as the 17th best recruit in the Houston area. To be honest with you, I think the kid has attitude problems and I am not that excited about his transfer to my SFA Lumberjacks. I hope that he proves me wrong.

The hilarious thing about these two tweets is that they're using Willie's Griz logo that he created a few years ago. I think he sent them to UM and they never got back to him.
 
Regardless of pointless rankings at this point, Karl doesn't have an issue in the talent department. He's plenty talented to contribute to your team from a physical standpoint. His issue is your second point... He didn't buy in to max effort defensively this year and didn't think that should keep him from playing more like it did down the stretch. Let's hope he realizes that for you guys [emoji108]

Rivals shows:
Emmitt Matthews 6'7'' Forward
Tolu Jacobs Yaffa 7'0'' Center
Khalil Chatman 6'7'' Forward

With 2018 offers from Montana. Any idea on whether these kids are seriously considering UM?

https://n.rivals.com/search?guccoun...t_profiles.position_abbreviation%22:%22%22%7D
Chatman has committed to Pacific.

Any idea on the other two? Neither were in our list here or on verbal commits...

Matthews committed to uconn then decommitted after coaching change. He was in contact with a few power5 schools after decommitting.

I'm not sure which ranking site had him listed as the 17th best, but there are plenty of sites out there that had great things to say about Nicholas. He had some impressive games for the Griz and I'm sure the large majority of us here wish he would have stayed.

As for the Rivals rankings, Rivals also had Zhaire Smith ranked around 60, so I'm not sure Rivals ratings mean much. Zhaire Smith of course played for Texas Tech this year and averaged about 11 points and 5 rebounds a game as a freshman. Most mock drafts have him going somewhere in the first 15 picks of the upcoming NBA draft. Here is the link to the Rivals Texas rankings for 2017. You'll also see Luke Schultz (a MSU Bobcat player who left the team during this year) on that list ranked above Zhaire Smith and Karl Nicholas.

Rating systems are a bit questionable when it comes to HS hoops and seem to miss or underrate a LOT of players who are flying a bit under the radar, are on smaller school teams, or are on bad teams.

We went after Emmit Mathews pretty hard and he chose UConn and has since decommited. He has a bunch of suitors and would be a HUGE get.
