Good one 99. And he needs to get those wheels to the beach/golf course and get some sun.

Priceless. No other school can write a caption like this for their head coach. Maybe
Bama or Georgetown but it would be old, retired players.

I am hearing he will be a top 10 kid by the end of the summer or top 5. Kid has an amazing high ceiling

Have we been connected with him before?
I've watched him play before. Really like his game.
A little undersized 4 (more years in college!), but is a really active player on the boards and defense. Can stroke the 3 nicely. Very well built for his age. Plays for IMG academy, a basketball powerhouse. He's been playing quote well in the EYBL

Not that I know of, but had it confirmed we are recruiting him. No idea how hard or how long it's been happening.

Crazy athlete, would be shocked if one of the big boys doesn't land him.

Honestly, I think his game might be more in line with Uconn than Simi. Both are kind of pipe dreams... but
With our two-guard offense, sometimes 3, the need for a 4-man who can handle the ball (simi) isn't so great. Really, a banger, rebounder and lob buddy who can stretch the floor for drives is better (williams).
Maybe Simis recruitment is a signal were going after a different style of offense?
That being said, if 5 star talent comes calling, you better adapt your system for them.
We used to one of the big boys

I'm actually ok with this...this might sound crazy to some, but we need to start acting like a blue blood program again. While I realize the staff likes to cast a wide net and see what we can get, we need to interact with these 5 star guys like IF you continue to impress us you MIGHT get an offer from UCONN so you could have the opportunity of being the next Kemba or RIP or Ray. Part of the reason Kentucky gets every damn kid they want is because they've established this thought that they don't just give out offers to anyone...only the best of the best.
Now for those of you who think I'm crazy, I think we can do this with the 5 star guys while still putting in the time and work with the 4 star guys. We need to start treating our program commensurate with the history of the past 20 years. No other program has won 4 titles in that time. We may have had a couple of down years but we are still a blue blood.
