Had heard rumours that Brian Rudolph may be changing his mind, after committing to UNH last week. From what I understand, a couple of A-10 schools have jumped in and asked him to wait.
From the Union Leader in NH:
Yesterday was a good one for the UNH men’s basketball program. First came the paperwork that confirmed that Radar Onguetou, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound frontcourt player in his second year at the New Hampton School, was accepting a scholarship to play at UNH next fall.
Later came word from Massachusetts that Dan McGeary, a 6-1 guard at Northfield-Mount Hermon, was also coming on board. McGeary is from Newton, Mass., and played last year at Roxbury Latin and averaged more than 20 points a game.
Onguetou, who is from Cameroon, Africa, averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and four assists a game last year.
He was getting some good looks from recruiters last season, but then tore his meniscus and had to sit out the summer, said New Hampton coach Jamie Arsenault.
Southern Methodist and James Madison offered him scholarships early in the fall and then at the last minute held off to see how his knee responded, the coach said.
UNH coaches went to see him play Saturday night and though he’s still not 100 percent, they liked what they saw. He made an official visit to Durham later in the weekend and ended up signing on.
“He loves contact,” said UNH coach Bill Herrion. “For this class, we had to get frontcourt help, we needed to get some inside physical presence. . . . He’s just what the doctor ordered. He’s exactly what we need.”
Yesterday ended the early signing period for national letters of intent and McGeary faxed his material to UNH last night, said John Carroll, associate head coach at Northfield-Mount Hermon.
“He’s a great Bill Herrion kind of guy,” Carroll said. “He’s a very smart ballplayer and an absolute gym rat, an elite three-point shooter.”
Brown, Yale and Dartmouth were all interested, Carroll said. Stanford was due in next Monday, but that visit has been canceled.
UNH’s net total for the day was one.
That’s because Brian Rudolph, who had told the UNH coaches he wanted to accept a scholarship, decided not to sign a letter of intent. Rudolph is a point guard at New Bedford (Mass.) High School.
