College Basketball Recruiting

[Thain]

I fully expect him to do so.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Yeah, Keatts is world's better than anyone they've had in decades.

 

[sjsj2448]

David McCormack getting a lot of CBs to Kansas. So is Immanuel Quickley.

Kentucky is going to struggle this cycle. I thought they'd probably get Quickley and King as the headliners.

 

[Slap the Floor]

If they don't get Quickley that probably improves their chances with Garland a ton.

 

[sjsj2448]

King to Oregon official.

Quickly announcing tomorrow. KY seems confident.

 

[Bullettoothtony]

If Quickley does go to Kentucky I suppose that only helps them with Zion since they've expressed interest in playing together IIRC.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Strong indications that Duke's faptastic five that became the four knuckle shuffle is going to end up being just another three dudes package.

 

[sjsj2448]

That's not good, but there's a long way to go. I won't freak out if he plays for Clemson. Since he's from SC, that's more honorable than going to the coal fields to play in front of Rupp worshippers. I may spontaneously combust if he plays for Snake Oil Cal and those idiot fans.

Am interested to see where the class goes if we don't get Darius and Zion. Maybe we turn up the heat on Nas Little or one of the other PGs like Grimes or Dotson.

Lexington has some impressive coal fields. Fields from whence the coal comes.

Lexington: where the coal grows

I think UK gets Zion and we get Barrett. They'll be tough with Green, Quickley, Zion, Vandy, Jones but I think we'll be better with Jones, O'Connell, Barrett, Reddish, DeL.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I doubt this means Duke is done with blue chip recruits in the class. They'll go for 1-2 more top 20 guys by the end.

 

[ChibCU]

When Javin ends up with 0.87 minutes per game heading into conference play, he will have decided on transfer.

 

[aiw]

David McCormack to Kansas

 

[deepdarkblue]

In that case, I hope he's stays fat.

 

[torontoduke]

Fat with promise, DDB.

 

[CMon85]

What other center or big are we recruiting in that class? I don't follow recruiting as much as I used to.

We would have

DeLaurier 6'10 230 jr
Vrank 7' 260 sr

That's a little thin on the FC side. Reddish, White and Tucker can and will play some 4. In fact, I would think they would get the bulk of the minutes at the 4 but I'd like to have 3-4 true post players.

It is possible that a reclassification (and commitment) from Bacot could happen. I am not sure what other options or being pursued - Moses Brown was considered, but it seems like folks have mixed reviews on his game.

 

[rome8180]

Emmitt Williams, but I don't think we'll land him. I love his game though and think he would be the perfect college center.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Emmitt Williams is a bad ass and I'd love to have him. I have zero expectations of that happening.
