Precious Update

This isn’t sour grapes, as I do think Cockburn is a talented player, but he is incredibly stationary. I know he will get into better shape- and his height alone will always be a disruption on defense- but he’s getting outreboundwd by guards in this game. Precious is a dynamic player.
 
Caught a few minutes of the game.. WOW is all I can say about Precious. Kid is unreal. Runs the floor so well, super athletic. I could see him thriving at the free throw line against the zone and then just running the court so well in hurleys up tempo fast break. Impressed.

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

He may just go pro but it may come to Memphis, St Johns and UConn

I don’t think anyone thought this would be easy. It has just been clear that UConn is in the hunt and has been the whole time.

This was never a “next”... he may still end up at UNC but Hurley and Co are not recruiting him hard for giggles. They believe they have a solid chance to land him.

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.

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.
