Corey Evans @coreyevans_10 · 1h Stanford grad-transfer Marcus Sheffield just committed to Elon. Huge addition for Mike Schrage’s bunch. Immediately eligible who, along with last night’s addition of Hunter Woods, should get the Phoenix back on track Per Stanford bio: Rated a four-star recruit by Scout.com, which has him tabbed No. 89 overall and the country’s 17th-ranked small forward

Wow. Really stoked with the recruits so far.
The Stanford addition could be huge.

Another offer out today. First one in the 2021 class, as far as I can tell. Combo guard Jacobi Wright out of Fort Mill, S.C.
He's getting some interest from Clemson, too. Still glad to see the staff getting in early with a 2021.

Another commit. Jerald Gillens-Butler a sit one, play two transfer from Butler. I love this kid and think Elon fans will too. Incredible personal story.

Another great get. Also love how Coach Schrage and his staff are so active on twitter. Makes it easy and exciting for fans to track the recruits.
Roster-question: Does anyone know if Priddy and Wright stayed? I don't expect much from them (neither ever impressed), especially with the new guys coming in, but am curious about the remaining number of roster/scholarship spots.

Roster-question: Does anyone know if Priddy and Wright stayed? I don't expect much from them (neither ever impressed), especially with the new guys coming in, but am curious about the remaining number of roster/scholarship spots. Priddy and Wright are both back, so with today's commit all scholarships for 19-20 are full. I think Priddy will start at the 1. There's potential for McIntosh to jump him. I think if that happens, it won't be before the start of the season, though. I also don't generally expect freshmen to start from day one, although I think whichever of Ervin or Woods is better early probably will. With the exception of the really established guys, coaches have to be active on social media. It's such a big part of these kids lives and a lot of them want that attention. Not all of them, but enough that a coach should at least be there. It's a natural fit for Schrage and Lewis, though. I think Holmes and Walden are there because they know they need to be. Whoever is doing the graphics they give these kids to post when they commit is also doing a solid job, imo.

Another 2020 offer out. PG Justin Wright from Farmville.
I am loving the regional focus on recruiting. Always felt like Elon's backyard was getting overlooked.

All of this action on the recruiting trail makes you realize how bad the last staff was at talent evaluation and how much they were beating the pavement.

I like hiring Lewis and now the announcement of Pierre.
Lewis dad has influence and connections in the AAU/Grassroots scene here in NC which should only pay dividends.
Pierre is the son of Butch Pierre. Butch spent most of his time at LSU and Ok. State...but did spend a year with Gottfried at NCSU before Gottfried was fired.
While at LSU, Butch recruited Big Baby Davis, Stromile Swift, Tyus Thomas, and at Ok. State Marcus Smart and Le Byram Nash (4th overall in nation).
He was known as one of the more feared recruiters on the trail and knew how to get things done recruiting wise despite not being at blue blood schools if you catch my drift. Just eat the beef and don't worry about how it was made.
Two great additions to Elon and hopefully they will help bring in talent to Elon bc of family connections.
Possible could become assistants at Elon in the future too.
