Realistic wish list...

Gaffney 1A Dawes 1B at PG
Bouknight at SG
Precious at SF
Kofi option A, Mitchell option B as a big
Wild Card or save for 2020 or a grad transfer

Disheartening. Also...I forgot about Akok....I know Cuse leads but seems like he's an option. Wahab or Shedrick can be backup options for Cockburn....really hope we can get him though.

Explains why they are involved with Tshiebwe. Looking for a quality big, and Kofi is far from a sure thing.

Not in good shape with many other centers if we miss on KC.

Are we still recruiting Akok and Tyrese Samuel? We just need another body that can slide to the five when needed

Insiders correct me if I’m wrong, hasn’t Tshiebwe been a heavy WVU lean for quite some time?

I honestly don’t think it would have mattered. He really likes WVU and unless Kentucky offers (which they may), he’ll go there.

Hurley hasn’t watched Samuel all year so I think we can cross him off the list too. Probably for the best. Lackluster numbers in EYBL and internationally.

We may have to go with a grad transfer next year as a backup to Carlton, and really nail 2020. It wouldn't be a huge blow if we can land a decent 5th year. Don't really want to gamble with that though.

Didn't we say the same thing about bonzie colson?

Not really IIRC? He was undersized, but even early in his high school career it was clear he was a monster rebounder because of his wingspan and quickness.

Perfect example of a guy rated ~100 spots lower than he should've been because he doesn't project well to the NBA.
 
Give me 2 of Bouknight, Quinones, Dawes, Gaffney along with Achiuwa + Akok/Cockburn and I’m thrilled.

My understanding was that the ratings were for NBA potential and not college potential. If that is the case then it would not be surprising for someone outside the top 100 to excel in college but not be a quality NBA player.
 
I’m trying to remember who was that recruit Miami stole(paid) from us that went on to be like an All-American? I think he was also a NYC kid.

We just want players with the right priorities is all I am saying.
Danny is a student of history but if you don’t want to focus on basketball maybe it’s not the right school for you.
