Danny and Tommy meeting with him today. A great plan B if Cliff doesn't work out.

Noah would be our Plan A at the PF spot. With his length he would play the 4/5 here.
I can't imagine you believe that if you've seen him play or even watched highlights. He's 6'7 (maybe) and 200lbs.
Great athlete. He's working to be a 3 at this point, not develop a centers back to the basket skillset.
You may be mixing him up with someone else?
I expect the priority is Jackson over Collier. Not the same position, just limited scholarships, and two will be swallowed by a guard/big (or a transfer this year) that we pretty desperately need.
He's closer to a SF than C. Not all PFs are paint eaters.Andre is a shooting guard, and Noah is a PF. They are two different positions completely. When I saw him play for Westtown, he played the four with Bol Ajak at the five, and he played in the paint the majority of the game. Bol is listed at 6-10 and Noah looked at least 6-8 next to him.

Andre does not play shooting guard. He can't shoot or dribble well enough. He is a slashing 3. I would bet he's more likely to play 4 occasionally (like Sid did) for us than the 2--though I'd hope we aren't that desperate positionally in a year.
If he's playing 4 in high school there is NO WAY he is playing 5 in college. Even if he is 6'8, he's not playing 5 in college. He is not tall enough or long enough. He was listed this fall as being 6'6.5" 197lbs, with a 6' 7.5" wingspan. Even listed as a SF/PF in some places.
Could he play the 5 if we had major, major foul trouble? Sure. So could Sid if we were totally fragged. But that's not what he's being recruited for. He will not be able to defend the 5 or finish over length the way his is in high school when the competition gets taller and stronger.
You are so, so, so far off base here.
And that's not saying we should recruit him. He's a pretty athletic, higher IQ kid who will be in college for 3-4 years. If he can develop some shooting touch, he could be a nice college player. Lower ceiling.
Andre is a prototype 3. But he is closer to a 2 than he is a 4.
Why would Collier be a backup plan if we miss on Cliff?
His point is that Collier isn't really a big. More of a 3. I'm not as sure as everyone else that we'll have 3 scholarships next offseason. We were convinced we'd have 3 this offseason and we all can see how that's going.Because we only have 3 scholarships and I doubt 2 of them would go to bigs. I expect a guard, a wing, and a big. As I said yesterday, I think a likely scenario is Diarra, Jackson, and one of Omoruyi/Collier/Springs.
Agreed.
But he is more likely to play the 4 for us just because he's tall enough and has crazy hops. You can get away with an under-skilled 4 in college. NOT an under-skilled 2.
Because he can jump he will play the four for us? That's a weird statement. Obviously he would play a wing for us as well, but his jump shot is much improved and would see time at the 2. He does not have the build to play the four either. You can get away without being skilled if you have the build, he doesn't.
Noah is a combo forward he is NOT a center.
1) GuardDo you think we take both a PF and a Center next year?
1) Guard
2) Forward/Wing
3) Center
Would be my guess. So with Collier I’d say one of him and Jackson right now (if any), but not both.
Really curious to see who looks the best out of Collier, Jackson, and Cross in the EYBL this year.
Cross is one of the best kept secrets for class of 2020.

I need more Tre Mitchell mom and his coach dating drama on the Boneyard. Gotta end well, right?Sounds like he will be a UMass lean given his coach going there.
I agree but we haven’t prioritized him and his HS coach is now at UMass.Cross is one of the best kept secrets for class of 2020.
Yes I was making that assumptionIs this assuming we land a big this year (or not a ranked list)? Have to think that would be absolute top priority if we aren't able to land someone of high major caliber this year.

He doesn't even play the 4 in high school. No way he plays it in college.
