There’s some PROS in that grouping. If they all here SR year that’s an issue. Should be amazing to watch them grow together tho

If bouknight and akok are as good as Hurley believes, our 2021 recruiting class may have to be 7 or 8 deep

What changed from “we may just bank the scholarship” to bring Richie on campus sign him and get him to reclassify? Richie just announced he was transferring to Brewster a month ago. Something changed...

I think at that point we thought we were going to get Manuel. When that fell through, we explored other options....and when reclassification for Springs became an option, we pulled the trigger.

Let's go with the narrative that sounds best for us. Springs started EYBL poorly and then broke out during Peach Jam 3 weeks ago. The staff decided he warranted a scholarship and wanted to lock him up before he blew up.

Love this kids potential and his rebounding prowess. I think we will see that his outside game is a lot better than the 8’-10’ mark as previously mentioned.
Expand ...
His game right now is 4 ft and in. 8-10 is way outside his current range.

What's great is that this staff is continuing to create relationships with AAU and HS coaches. Moore for example is one of the main reasons Akok is here.

This staff works hard, and well together. What a difference.

Tom Moore was essential to getting past recruits. Aj price and Kemba are prime examples

Closer to 10 (could get listed at 6’9 or 10). Saw him listed at 220 this summer too
Expand ...

247 has him at 6'9" and 200 pounds, ESPN at 6'8" and 200, Future 150 at 6'9" and 215 (but further into their profile they show him as 6'7" and 215 with a 6'10" wingspan so maybe that's where the 6'10" is coming from), and Verbal Commits has him at 6'9" and 217.
He's 17 and all have him as a 3 star except Verbal Commits at 2 stars.:rolleyes:

LOL - Chief must have permanent residency in your head or is it just a cry for attention by attaching yourself, in a bizarre way, to someone much better known than yourself?

1. Thomas
2. Jackson
3. A True Center
Expand ...

what do you think happens if hurley can only sign 2 guys and thomas is one of them but cliff is not?

does hurley take jackson over brown-ferguson or cardwell? jackson might be the better prospect but center is the biggest positional need. is that what the list here is saying?

If Kimani gets a head coaching job down the line, it means we have done big things. He deserves it.

Expect Kenya to get some credit soon. ;)

Didn’t realize we were in that good with Cam. The quicker he decides the better. Don’t want blue bloods getting involved.

It might be a little early to be penciling Thomas in.
 
Of course it’s only a hypothetical. Just Curious how Hurley would weigh Jackson against a lower ranked center if he already signed a guard

Video has been posted a few times but there are a few highlights from Springs(#13) and shows the connection he'll have straight away with Bouknight. Springs easily looks like the tallest, longest guy on the court. Great assist to Bouk towards the end.

Bouknight!!!! Wow.
 
Full game footage of Springs. Solid passer from the elbow and blocks. Lots of room a for improvement!

You deserve a ton of credit for the Big East news but acting like your post about Springs was telling us he's committing is not a good look
