Rayshaun Hammonds offer

[CardiacAndre7]

So is this an actual possibility? He was scheduled to visit the 4th but then Polley committed, and I guess he is still visiting, but is anything going around that we are really pushing here?

Man, KO loves his hybrid-forwards.

The legend of Oz grows.

Yup Oz was all over this one

Let's go!

I'm hearing strong odds he commits soon after his visit. Always listen to OZ, most connected insider there could be.

Does this put Polley's commitment in doubt?

If we are indeed out of the Bamba sweepstakes, we should have enough scholarships for both of them. Also, I'm a little fuzzy on this, but isn't Polley more of a combo forward whereas Hammonds is more of a 4? I could definitely be wrong though.

Seems like they've both been described as combo forwards, similar games but just looking at highlights Hammonds seems more athletic

Hammonds has been more of a 4 but seems to be transitioning to be more of a 3.

While there are only two schollys left, it's crucial to remember hd would be a 1&done, and larrier+Adams could go early entry as juniors, so KO should have some flexibility to sign some his main 2018 targets.

We'd have enough spots for them both, but if I was Polley I'd certainly reconsider my commitment if we land Hammonds. Not that I want him to -- I love what I've seen of his game, and his enthusiasm for the program -- but they're very similar players.

KO sees the way the NBA is going and is trying to mimic that here. I think you could definitely play 2 shooting combo forwards side by side. Theoretically have Durham at center, that's a dangerous shooting lineup.

Don't think so, but wasn't told one way or another.

With Ham this is a top 5 recruiting class....when all is said and done.

Probably in the 5-15 range when all said and done. Bamba would push us into top 5. Really wanted to get Bamba or Richards but I'll remain optimistic because I think junior Enoch will be an animal for us at the 5.

I would bet where are out with both

Will be interesting to see what happens, especially with the early signing period starting next Wednesday.

I would think there's definitely enough minutes at the 3 and 4 for Polley, Hammonds, and Vance Jackson once Larrier leaves, but enough guys where I wouldn't be shocked if he at least considered opening up his recruitment

 

[JSM1970]

Carlton is 189 on 247, is this another Rock Lubin? Polley is barley top 100. MAL and Ham would be the only top 50 guys, can't imagine that's remotely enough for a top 5 class.
