Donovan Gilmore holds Mount offer

Donovan Gilmore a 6'8" forward from Greensboro North Carolina holds an offer from Mt. St. Mary's. Gilmore becomes the third know offer since Jamion Christian took over at his alma mater.

Recruiting expert Justin Byerly described Gilmore as long bouncy and under the radar. He is participating with his CP3 teammates in Minnesota at the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League Event this weekend.

Gilmore has offers from William & Mary, Virginia Commonwealth and Jacksonville along with the Mount. But his recent performances have drawn the interest of Virginia Tech, Marquette and Missouri along with Appalachian State.

Gilmore becomes the third known offer for the Mount's potential 2013 recruiting class. Malique Trent (Portsmouth, VA, Norcom) and Nick Griffin (Rockville, MD, Magruder) are the other two known offers.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
