Derrick Jones (Committed to UNLV)

His dad seems higher on UCONN than he does, let's hope he has great influence.

I think landing him and Clarke along with any big to add to JA would be a great class. I know Jones and Clarke play the same position but they play it in such different ways they can easily be put on the court together. And then when Jones leaves after a year or 2 then Clarke is experienced and ready to move into a prominent leadership role where he can really excel with scorers around him.

Adams
Clarke
Jones
Enoch
Stone

That's a great class with a grade a player at each position.

There was an article or tweets (not sure) in the spring about one of the aau tournaments where some of the players called him southwest because he can jump/hang time was insane

From what I (and most everyone else) can tell, KO has made a great impression on his father and DJ has said on occasion that he is letting his support system (namely his father) handle his recruiting until the very end. What also seems to be paying dividends is his AAU coach's CT connection (New Haven guy and ex-Hillhouse player: source).

A class of Adams, Jones, and Enoch is so brimming with athleticism that I can barely contain my excitement.

Southwest...LOL. Love it!!!! How about AirJones. I like that, but I guess that's too close to AirJordan.

Pearl is making noise……….

Pearl is making noise……….

Pearl can recruit and is a good enough game coach to make noise. He's basketball's equivalence to Bobby Petrino. You hope he wins enough before the house of cards coming falling down.

 

[his dudeness]

Auburn and Pearl have gotten commits from a top 100 6-6 SF and a top 100 6-8 PF over the past week. I think Derrick ends up here.

Pearl is a goofball who lied about a bbq. Petrino is a scumbag. I don't think they are in the same stratosphere on the sleaze meter
