The 6'7" SF continues to rack up offers and press. This story from yesterday's Star Tribune. With no indication on Nate's top schools. Minnesota and Pitino are pressing the flesh and just pulled down 4-star recruit Kevin Dorsey from Mayland. www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/266613601.html

I was wondering if you guys had some insight on Grimes. Temple just offered Grimes, and we almost never offer anyone west of Houston and Dallas. Interestingly, after offering, Jerry Meyer immediately predicted Grimes to Temple.

He will have to narrow them down, I don't think he is gonna sign with Temple immediately.

Unless you're an Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, you need to build a relationships with recruits before they commit, and we presumably have not done that yet. That's why I found it strange that Meyer immediately picked Temple, when we don't have a relationship with Grimes yet and are across the country (well until he moves to NC).

He's playing with the Las Vegas Knicks in the Double Pump. In his game today he had 23 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. They beat Northwest Express 57-48 and play SD All-Stars tomorrow at 4.
I like Grimes because he seems like one of those guys who just knows how to rebound.

Good, All around game, my concern is that Grimes and Walker have many, many choices and that EA will stay on the east coast. Well need to replace some spots on the floor when JJ, Polee and perhaps Winston leaves. Depending on Malik Popes health and Zinitial eligibility we will need front court players.

quality players are going to get quality offers . Zero in on the ones that the coaches think they can sign but only if they are in the top 100 . Still believe E.A . has us on his list .

I'm pretty sure all the recruiting services have E.A. and nate grimes outside the top 100. Aflakpui was #140 in the Rivals150 before being dropped in the latest update. Unfortunately, they often drop players simply because they haven't watched them play in a long time. A lot of Northeast recruits get shafted like that if they're not a top recruit. Eric Bossi from Rivals does a great job, but I dont think he watches a lot of the mid to high 3 star recruits in PA and NJ.

Rivals has Grimes at #117 . He participated and did well at the event at the Beach this weekend . Last evaluation weekend is the July 23-July 27 . There are 4 different events in Las Vegas , another in Louisville and Philly .August is a quiet time when coaches can not travel but players can come for visits . September and October is full recruiting/contact time . Early signing week comes in November .

Nate Grimes is part of a big 5 2015 recruiting class out of Vegas that inludes: Ray Smith (Arizona) Steven Zimmerman, Chase Jeter and Horace Spencer. He is moving to North Carolina for his final HS season. With 35+ offers and his last year in the east, he is not a lock for the Aztecs. www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/jul/23/rebels-recruiting/

Are we going to be accused of stealing another of UNM's recruits if he signs with the Aztecs........it seems from Lobo fans, we don't recruit anyone other than their recruits.....which of course they were onto first.
