Add Another Elite Recruit to the List of Midnight Madness Visitors

[3uconn]

Malachi Richardson just told me that he will be attending for an unofficial visit. He joins 2014 SF Devin Robinson and 2015s PF Jessie Govan and SG Will Jackson.

Nice

That is a nice group of kids attending...I am telling I think that we have a shot at D.Robinson, but 2015 will be a breakout recruiting season for ollie

 

[husky99]

Nice. He is a real talent

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I just googled him. He's at Indiana with Robinson this weekend?

Correct.

 

[caw]

Correct.

Would love to take them both from Indiana but either one would be sweet.

 

[champs99and04]

I hope he doesn't commit to Indiana this weekend.

Hear that, guys? Just commit when you're here and spare us all the trouble.

If they do, we don't even have enough scholarships available for all these guys. I'm counting 2 available for next year.

that's assuming no transfers or a guy like Hamilton being one and done or a guy like Calhoun declaring for the draft after his junior year. These recruits aren't coming in for another two years.

As I look at this roster, I see a bunch of kids with playing time.
Facey and Nolan are going to play lots. Lubin and Brimah are going to develop and play. Hamilton, Calhoun, Purvis and another wing (hopefully Robinson) can get 25 minutes each at the 2-4 positions. Samuel and another (hopefully Cassell) are going to share PG minutes, maybe ceding 5-10 to Purvis.

That's 10 kids. Maybe I'm not giving Tolksdorf a chance. I like him and his shooting, but he is going to have to break through. When I see all those names, I don't see possibilities for leaving unless Tolksdorf locks down a German contract. Hamilton could be one and done like his older brother, but is likely at least a 2 year kid.

3 scholarships is a possibility. This 2015 class should have kids looking to make a big splash as sophomores, because of Calhoun, Purvis, Hamilton leaving for the 2016 NBA draft. There will be a huge amount of minutes available at the 2-4 when those 3 leave (and I see all 3 leaving at the exact same time, if things go well for them).

Development by players is not guaranteed and players also transfer back home if they get home sick. I think we have a solid group of players and hope no one transfers or enters the draft early. Time will tell.

Is Malachi a 2014 or 21015 kid?

Ranking?

We hear this every year and every year it works out. Do not worry about the numbers, just worry about getting the kids to commit.

2015 and he is ranked #12 overall

Oh, I wasn't worrying. I was just stating it's a small class. You simply can't grab everyone up for next year.
