Precious Update

[Hi-Low]

Don’t get too excited despite effort - still fighting uphill battle.

We may be fighting a losing battle but hopefully early & constant attention mean something to him. He most certainly wants a chance to win big in the limited time he's at school so that's the challenge Hurley has to convince him he will. If UConn was the UConn of 5 years ago I think Hurley would already have him.

I don’t think anyone thinks otherwise.

UNC interest/spotlight a real factor


Yes - a chance but still give low %

Trust me when Is say I hope I’m wrong and will post if tide turns

Could whatever issues are going on with Nassir Little and UNC maybe scare Precious away?

You should not be throwing out "nexts" when we are an underdog but still in it. "Nexting" is like 90 for 90. You don't want to ruin that perfect track record.

Kofi is a little chubby don't you think? Slow too. Precious I like. Popeye calves remind me of Ray Ray. Cole Anthony didn't impress either

Cole Anthony is overrated. I don’t like his upside. His best attribute is his competitiveness.

Didn’t see the game today and yes Kofi needs to be in better shape but just because being big and strong is not glamourous, don’t underestimate the value of a Big Man’s body when you are going against teams with big physical guys.

As for UNC - what NBA bound college “student” wouldn’t like the lure of no show classes with A’s ? While we are operating under 1 less scholarship, UNC can use their scholarship for Precious.

Emeka Okafor?

Emeka Okafor?

Correct answer, but you had to go back 15 years.
Watching TCU vs Baylor - you realize how behind we are in terms of size and physicality when you see a team like TCU.

I would do unspeakable things for Precious.

 

[AdamaNation]

Man, Precious is a very good player who can handle the ball, shoot and plays defense. He can be excellent at the next level.

Kofi is a nice player but is a little to heavy and needs to lose about 20 pounds or so

Kawhi 2.0

Do you know if we're heavily involved with any other bigs for 19?

Even casual fans know we are outmatched physically but quite frankly the school is under NCAA investigation so they aren’t going to offer BS classes in Dam Management or Barista Coffee Grinding. Maybe one day the school will get the benefit of the doubt but not anytime soon.

This guy with the other 3 recruits we got coming in and some improvement from the guys that come back will make us a top 3 team in our league.

Tre Mitchell maybe but I don’t know for sure. Probably only lightly involved right now

Cole Anthony is Austin Rivers

 

[polycom]

The chance is so small that he comes here, why are people even getting their hopes up?

Why are people being pessimistic based off a rumor from a boneyarder? I swear some of y’all just want to be pessimists.

Might have something to do with him being undefeated when making the 'next' declaration.

If Matthew Hurt goes to Kansas does that take them out of the Precious sweepstakes? seems like a commitment is coming soon the dude has visited 4 times
