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. I agree 100 percent. I think both are excellent hires. I fully expect Lewis will eventually be a head coach in college basketball. I don't know enough about Pierre to say that, but he certainly knows what he's getting into. Lewis is already leaving a significant mark on Elon's recruiting. It's no coincidence that at least half of the guys who've been offered by this new staff have some connection to Rick Lewis' Phenom Hoops Report and events. And those kids are mostly in the region Schrage said he wanted to target for recruiting. Adams brings in much needed skills development, Walden is a strong recruiter and Holmes is both a good recruiter and game planner. This staff ticks off just about all the boxes you could expect. I hate to get my expectations too high before the first tip-off, but I'm really curious to see just how quickly they'll get this ship turned. All the momentum is heading in an incredibly positive direction. I'm seeing potential for the kind of quick turnaround Kevin Keatts did at UNCW, although I think realistically they're still a year or two away from contending for a CAA title.

2020 SG Grant Huffman is the latest offer. He's got some high major offers, including OSU. I'm assuming Schrage was the recruiter at Ohio State for him.

So does anybody know how many offers are out for next year? Does it matter how many there are?

So does anybody know how many offers are out for next year? Does it matter how many there are? There's no limit on the number of offers a school can make, only on the number of available scholarships, if that's what you're asking. Some schools only offer a very small number of players - those being the ones they're very likely to get. Some schools take a scatter shot approach and make tons of offers. Schrage seems to be somewhere in the middle. Thirteen offers for one available scholarship next year seems like a little but of a high figure, but I am sure that the staff is considering the realistic probability that one or two more open up at the end of the season. It's just the nature of the current transfer market and a coaching change.

ncjon - I know this board is crickets, however, I appreciate the time you take in passing along info. Thanks. Just hoping it might spark a little more interest and discussion. I expect the fan base is going to grow and get a little more excited about hoops over the next couple of years. And here's another local kid with an offer. 2020 SF Silas Mason from Smith HS in Greensboro. Elon previously offered his teammate, 2020 PF Nicholas McMullen:

Josh Massey, a 2020 SF from Indian Trail, N.C./United Faith Christian Academy, received an offer earlier today:
Also, I want to revise my earlier comment on scholarship limits: It now appears that Schrage and his staff believe in the shotgun approach, which is to offer a wide variety of high school athletes and hope that a few stick.

With all of these offers out, I’m anticipating a few players not returning after next year.
