Final 2019 Scholarship?

Manuel? I believe he has 3 years if he comes here this summer? I could be wrong or thinking of someone else they were recruiting.

You're right. Thinking of the wrong player

I'm in the minority maybe - but if they're thin on bigs this year, then whatever. I'm so lazered in on them taking an actual step forward in 2020-2021... a backup center isn't going to be what keeps them out of the dance or helps them advance a round further.

Not sure we're in great shape with any elite centers in 20/21. Maybe end up with someone back half of top 100 at best. In that case, I think Manuel would be better for depth this year AND would be further along developmentally for the all-important 20/21 season with a similar ceiling.

We would be ELATED to land a top 100 4 star at center. I’m thinking fringe 150 type. Which is fine. Tennessee had one of the best teams in the country last year entirely comprised of 3 stars.

Has Hurley / the staff explicitly said Akok won't be able to play the 5? I envision minutes each game where Akok slides to the 5 and Whaley plays the 4 if Carlton is out and we are against a big lineup.

Also hoping a kid gets his grades up this late into the recruitment so he can come play for us has to be a red flag about where the kids head is at... Knowing that he had a shot to play D1 ball, he couldn't focus enough to even do the bare minimum to qualify?

There is an article on Rivals with the headline basically saying he is staying in the `20 class and is building ties with UK. Appears to be an article from last week.

If whaley and akok are in, whaley is at the 5

Who is “he” in this sentence? No quote so can’t tell.

Wasn't sure about this at first but at 221 for Whaley, maybe. Akok is definitely pulling at least one big out the paint on offense and he's better off as a help defender right now using his reach to get a block.

I believe he was referring to 6' 10" center, Cliff Omoruyi who has garnered attention from Kentucky recently.
Cliff Omoruyi, Roselle Catholic , Center (BK)

Are you sure Schofield and Williams were only 3* coming out of high school?

Both were 3*, Williams was 191 on 247's composite and Schofield was 251
