Back to Precious

[6xChamps]

I am probably in the minority here, but I am not as concerned with Precious as I am Akok Akok and a big. He would be icing on the cake, but with out him, we will still have a top 15 class, and everyone will probably be here at least two years.

We will be in on Precious till the very end, so we will always have a chance, but right now I am more concerned with locking up 2 of Wahab, Akok, and Mitchell.

Wait are we out on Kofi?

Penny is in the midst of the "Well, he was an NBA guy so I'm sure he can make me an NBA guy too!" honeymoon phase that we saw our former coach experience. After that, much like we saw here, it's going to all about player development.

I hope he succeeds (just...you know...not on Precious), but it will be interesting to see what happens once some of the sizzle wears off.

BACK OFF PENNY

Woof, hopefully he makes it to ours.

If it turns out he can actually coach, there's no reason for the sizzle to wear off. If he ends up limited to spewing Pennyisms, then yeah, the charcoal will grow cold and the sizzlin' will stop.

I’m not sure, Ollie got recruits more likely because of a national championship, not his nba status. Pennys stardom definitely is a big factor, but bigger thing is his connections to Memphis area. Also says a lot about how he connects with high school kids, if he was previously pulling all these top recruits to play for his aau team.

He’s at least a better coach than Mullen (who is understandably dampening lots of peoples opinion’s on ex-nba stars as coaches). At least Penny has been putting in the effort recruiting and actually seems like he cares about the basketball team.

Losing Precious to Memphis would be a disaster

 

[RipCity]

He’s going to Memphis’ first night not buying a house there.

Do people expect these kids to just never visit any other schools?

This board can’t handle October. We go a week without hearing anything either positive or negative about Kofi and I’ve seen a bunch of people ready to give up on him too. Come on now...

 

[Zionn]

Not going to Memphis...it is a visit and free concert.

 

[Mr. French]

Not going to Memphis...it is a visit and free concert.

How dare you!

 

[Tyler2Rings]

tbh the Memphis first night looks sick. Good way to sell the AAC if nothing else

 

[Chief00]

Not going to Memphis...it is a visit and free concert.

And a really good concert for an 18 year old. Why not?

Could you please be more specific?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Josh Green to Arizona

So that hurts us now, right? Someone mentioned UNC will be on him or was that said to be false?

 

[Austin316]

I’m glad the only schools he’s visiting are AAC schools. Says a lot about the conference when a player of his 5* caliber says I wanna go to here.

In theory sure. Could also depend on their priorities on who they want. Could make an all out push for Wendell Moore now.

Not that this really matters, but UNC already has two verbals for next year and only has room for one more commit. Based on CB predictions in the last 3 days, it appears UNC is going to land Cole Anthony.

 

[BFieldHusky]

We still lead for Precious. We are trying to secure some other guys this month (you know who they are) and then making final push for Precious after that. @Chief00 was spot on when he said that before.

Really I would consider UNC as having 2 open spots because Little is going to be a one and done.

I am happy you are dropping in again. And clearly many others are too based on the number of likes.

CB favors Duke, but no one has made a pick since June.
