C Zach Brown

[CallMeBruce]

Went from top 5 to #19 in latest ESPN rankings.

I guess this shouldn't be a huge surprise. A lot of the reports recently from people watching him weren't stellar. I know Russ saw him recently and wasn't super impressed. Big-time athlete, but the skills aren't there yet. I still definitely want him, but he has some work to do.

Maybe it will worry some other blue bloods hopefully make our path to his commitment easier

It doesn't work like that

[huskies20]

Is he related to Justin Brown?

[Huskyforlife]

Glad were on him hard it seems.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Must be a good feeling to hear from the Big 3 like that.

I know this won't be popular with the Boy Scouts here; but we could really use Clyde type bigs coach for recruits like this. Personally, my judgement is that recruits could care less about a $10 transaction on a Hartford street over a decade ago.

True but their parents might. Other schools might bring it up also.

I know that's the conventional wisdom on the Boneyard for over a decade but how much has Pitino's situation impacted his recruiting? Probably a zero impact. How much did Coach Cal's staff providing extra benefits at UMass (putting in a delicate way) impact his recruiting at UK? None.

Neither were criminal offenses.

I believe Cals extra benefits have had a significant impact on his recruiting don't you?

 

[uconnell]

Wasn't another problem with Clyde,his real first name was Clive , had a police record, lied about it to the school? I think it was for the same offense.

​

Yeah! Gotta get real and just know you can't coach big men without soliciting charges. It is called:" working on your hook shot"

 

[Chief00]

I believe Cals extra benefits have had a significant impact on his recruiting don't you?

Quite frankly, are you kidding? How many 1 and dones has he recruited the last 5 years? No one has recruited more top players during that period. Am I missing something?

You are. He was making a joke about Cal paying players.

Well that one went about a mile over your head.

Ew.

"We hate him! He doesn't have the mindset of a Husky! Next!"

I live here in Kentucky now,and I hate hearing cals on him! But I'm not gonna hate him just yet. Think we got in early enough to stand a chance.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Just picked up a UK pick on 247.

From 247sports:

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Miami Beach (Fla.) 7-footer Zach Brown was one of the first 2017 recruits with his name connected to Kentucky and Thursday, he finally picked up an offer from the Wildcats.

Brown (7-1, 256) says he received word from his father at the NBPA Top 100 Camp Thursday.

"My dad actually just told me," Brown said. "I was very excited because basketball has taken me a long way and that was a dream college for me when I was younger."

Ranked as the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 2 center in the 2017 class by the industry average 247Sports Composite, the 5-star said North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Miami and UCLA are the schools recruiting him the hardest.

Brown says he's impressed by Kentucky's recent lineage of big men that includes DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Nerlens Noel, Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl-Anthony Towns.

"I just like the way they [use] their bigs and [run] their system around their bigs," Brown said.

On the Nike EYBL circuit this spring, Brown has averaged 10.1 points per game while shooting 62.9 percent from the field to go with 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game for Nike South Beach.

The fact that we have connections with him and aren't one of the schools recruiting him the hardest is really disappointing for our staff

Maybe because thanks to Boo, we don't need to devote all our resources to him? Them trying the hardest doesn't mean he wants them the most.

Maybe because thanks to Boo, we don't need to devote as many resources to him. Them trying the hardest doesn't mean he wants to go to them the most....

Or just maybe Boo also knows something we at the Boneyard don't?

I'm hearing Brown may be on campus this week, possibly some good news coming here.
