Precious Update

[Chief00]

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.

 

[Wordbomar]

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

 

[JMick]

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

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

Bless You.

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.

[6xChamps]

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

The boneyard is literally the complete opposite of this meme.

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.

Given a choice between Kofi and Precious, I'm going with Precious all day long, but that isn't how it works is it? If Kofi had come here he would have immediately filled a void that would have allowed everyone else to used at there natural positions. He would have been a great get for us, but it wasn't meant to be.

It's like you don't know us at all anymore.

Imagine a starting 5 including:

Gilbert
Vital
Achiuwa
Akok
Carlton

Imagine a starting 5 including:

Against smaller teams:

Gilbert
Bouknight
Vital
Achiuwa
Akok

Oh mama

My post wasn’t meant to compare them. It was just my thoughts as I watched their game.

 

[husky429]

I've mentioned before, but still true: akok and precious have very complimentary play styles. Could be one of the best defensive tandems in the country.

At some point people have to learn, until proven otherwise these head to head recruiting battles we are going to lose.

Can't win unless you try. Only kids were on for 2019 are him and Tre. Why not go all out for both?

Still feel Kofi and Akok brings in precious. Nasty front line.

Like Akok and Cuse?

Broadcast mentioned our recruitment of Precious and said Hurley thought we have a good shot.
