2020 Recruiting: Etienne considering reclass

There was nothing wrong with Jackson's 3 pt shooting the 2 times I have seen him. He's not a +40% sniper but he's certainly as reliable from 3 as Adams and Gilbert. I bet he shoots 35% next year. I have no worries at all about our offense with Jackson and Bouknight on the court together, with any other combination of players. With regard to Etienne, I've seen plenty of clips where he is shooting 3's and mid range 15 ft. He never misses in those clips ;). The jumper from the foul line extended is the great shot both Adrien and Oriaki could hit. I think that could really help us. I sense he also hits foul shots. The shooting is why I think the Boone comparison is a bit weak because Boone was poor from the line. Hilton might be a better comp because he could shoot some but didn't take many. I'm from Missouri when it comes to Ferguson, "show me". I also think Whaley will start making the 15 foot shots.
 
"Considering" Does that mean we're making the decision for him? Why even float this in a story if it's not happening

Report back on this, please. I'm thinking of going to Princeton game tomorrow.

It was one of the wildest college games I've ever seen. Yale was down 73-63 and went on a 13-0 run in the final 1:38 to win by three. They threw on the press and Penn had no answers. I think Yale forced five turnovers without Penn even making a second pass after inbounding the ball.

Bruner looked better than he did vs Harvard but he's still so passive. Yale doesn't even feature him on offense, he's just a cog in their motion stuff with a ton of dribble hand-offs and ball screens. They feature Atkinson much more. I think they ran one or two set plays for Bruner all night. Maybe he's held down by Jones' offense but he doesn't look to attack very often. On one hand, it's amazing that he had 15/6/6 and 4 steals and it didn't seem like he had a big game. He just screams that he's a guy who should be doing so much more.

That Princeton game tomorrow should be pretty fun. Hopefully you can make it.

He's not wrong, if Jackson learns to shoot he'd be one of the best recruits in the country

maybe that gif didn’t come across. It’s meant to be more the evil genius laugh, Supportthat exact conclusion. ;)

Very solid description of what I saw in the first half, with the basket right in front of me. 2nd half, I get a closeup on defense.
Good court awareness, communicates well with teammates, but, somehow, he's that that fully engaged without fire.
And Atkinson, yeah.

And, with that, a 3-pointer, a defensive rebound into dribble up court and a second 3. And while I'm tapping this, a solid rebound, dribble upcourt, pass, then back to him for a good move inside. Go figure.

Because the Big10 is a better league than the BE?

Because Kofi was their only reliable big and if he went to the NBA that would be a huge recruiting tool. Mica also just said on his Instagram he will “be deciding later in the year” about reclassifying.

It does but I know someone in contact with his mother and she says that he/ she prefers UConn. But he will do his visits and she’s not going to push him. Also wanted to go to the game the other day but wasn’t invited.

If he wanted to go to the Houston game, couldn’t he have told the staff? I’ll admit I don’t fully understand the recruiting rules and maybe the staff already gave the tickets to Clingan and his family, but that seems odd.

He needs to be a husky. Opposing fans will HATE him the energy level, the tats, the hair, the talking. We’ve needed a hateable player for a while, it’s time we get ours.
 
Orlando Antigua failed miserably as a head coach at USF but has had huge success as a head recruiting assistant.

Clearly better at holding a bag than a clipboard.

For Mac, a bag and a starting spot on a BIG10 (top 25) team await. Any reason for Dan Hurley to continue recruiting?
