Cockburn recently picked up offers from Kansas and Tennessee but said he wants to hear from the “blue blood schools” — Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina.

We're swinging for the fences now.

This is the number 1 guy I want for 2019.
When was the last time we had a guy this large and talented?

Drummond. Definitely.

But I wouldn't called him talented really. He has pretty bad hands and limited athleticism. Not a shot blocker at all.

He's more the kind of guy you recruit so other teams get punished down low again and again--feel it in their ribs for a month.

He also has nice positioning on teammates drive, which bodes well for his pick n roll ability.

100% on board for signing him up. All I really expect from him for any college team is to pound the glass and dunk

This would be a YUGE get for us. Also interesting dynamic now where we are competing against St. John’s for nearly every prospect.

I mean, it's good we're getting a visit at all with this guy. Where we're at right now, it's something.

It really bothers me that he doesn't consider Indiana a blue blood program.

Look, even if he doesn't come here; I enjoy this subtle trolling of Kansas fans.

(Sorry @HuskyHawk )

Kansas fans will be happy to hear he doesn't think they're a blue blood school.

I agree, he’s the guy.

UConn 4 National Championships, Kansas 3 National Championships.

In the context of the center position, Drummond's talent was off the charts. For a big man to be talented, imo, he must have solid athleticism, solid coordination and good basic basketball IQ. Drummond's athleticism is/was exceptional for a big man.

I agree, he’s the guy.

Chiefs seal of approval is enough for me

Yes, sorry for any confusion.

Well, @Zionn what say you?

Unfortunately Chief under gag order - when it gets lifted I have something to share.
