You really think that first part is true? Just last year we had two kids decommit. You think Georgia and UCLA stopped recruiting Jackson and Ali? My original post, in retrospect, was a bit dumb. But any "early" verbal; no matter how early, is tenuous until that dotted line is signed or, as is the new trend, the kid arrives a la Hamilton.

And looking back through this thread, Fishy kind of made of validated my original thought...

No, your original post was not, "in retrospect, ... a bit dumb." Your original post, at the moment you made it, was incredibly stupid. Just stop. The fact that getting a verbal from a kid doesn't mean the recruitment is over does not make not wanting the verbal a sane strategy.

Yeah, and I hate to add to the insanity here (no I don't), but I've also heard that Brown may be trying to come here earlier than 2017.

What is his credit situation? Could he definitely finish early? Or is this pipedream stuff. I know this is heresy, but if I had my choice, I'd prefer 2017. That class next year is so huge, we desperately need to spacing to balance out numbers between classes. I really don't want one of those 1 man classes. I'll take him either way obviously.

Although, we've got a shot at a big run next year, so it would be good to have an extra piece.

He'd be great next year, IMO, since it would give Durham a chance to acclimate and maybe redshirt.

Enoch, Facey, Brimah, Larrier, and Brown manning the post would be pretty freaking awesome.

True, I keep forgetting about Durham's knees. Can I commit heresy for the second time and hope that, if we did get Brown, Durham red shirts? I mean, I'm not privy to his exact medical situation, so this is just speculation, but I'm thinking: he's had 2 knee injuries, a freshman, fighting for time...he'd be best served to rehab as much as possible before coming back. Especially as a bigger guy. While guys return from ACLs earlier these days, they usually aren't as effective their first year back. His minutes might not be huge anyway. Save a year. jmo

I'm hearing some very peculiar things about Brown's academic situation, in particular that he may be leaving his current school for one we're more familiar with. I hesitate to get too specific since the sharks on here love to pounce if I even so much as suggest that something is possible and it doesn't happen, and the story I'm hearing seems too weird to make sense, but I suspect we'll find out soon if it's the case.

Funny how speculation based on at least some insider talk is frowned upon, but speculation based on some posters inane self talk is some times accepted. Boneyard.

If he hasn't transferred by tomorrow you're on notice

Oh, show some balls....pretty clear that you're insinuating that Zach is transferring to EO Smith.

If that doesn't happen, we'll know who to blame.

KO better put together a game plan that calls for feeding Miller and Facey in the low post. Otherwise, Brown may wonder what he could be getting himself into.
 
I'm really hoping for this kid. If we could get him and Hamidou for '17, to go along with Adams, Gilbert, Jackson, an improved Enoch, a healthy Duram (sorry for some reason I'm not quite as high on our VCU transfer) - I think that team is really, really good. At least on paper. I miss having really good bigs.

Like this but I am very high on Larrier, kid's going to really good.

We do need a real center with size and ability though, this would be a great get and as you said, with the rest of that class wow! If Durham gets and stays healthy this could be a really special class - a really good true PG, a PF with a motor and strength, a shooter with a scorers mentality and size, a transfer with all around ability and great athleticism, a 6'11 kid who can score and is long and hopefully a true C who's left to top it off and has some skill and size coming in. Add Diallo and the depth is loaded with a returning Enosch, Adams.

Just anyone with some size and ability would be nice. I think Enoch has some legit talent, he just has to learn how to play and use that talent. But all of a sudden in two years, we potentially have a 6-10 Enoch who can play, hopefully Durham at full strength at 6-11 with some stretch skills, a dirty work guy in Diarra, and maybe a 7-1 monster in Brown? That's some sick talent up front; probably as good, if not better than anything we've ever had (at least on paper.) If Gilbert, Adams, Diallo are your backcourt and Larrier at the 3? Looks pretty impressive.

I'm probably off on Larrier and basing things on a low FG%. But, my God, I want Duram healthy. He just looked like a taller Donyell. If these pieces all come together, we should be FF bound.
Brown looks like such a potential monster. Excited for the next few years!

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm kind of wait and see with Larrier. I'll say cautiously optimistic. He is athletic and talented, but as you mentioned, his shooting percentages were horrific last year.

2004 -- the front court rotation with Emeka, Charlie, Josh and The Unit was scary effective, and our perimeter had Ben, Shad, Denham and Taliek.
