Yes, Velez is the reason why I fear SCar losing out in Del Rosario. They are tight. We’ll see if they are a package
Yeah. I figured with Watkins-they really don’t need Del Rosario. I do think they’ll be a package deal. I think if Tennessee gets both, they’ll be in good standing for years to come.
I’ve often seen players mention they would like to play with other players in social media or an interview and fans run with it. However, even if that was their original intent, more often than not players realize they need to do what is best for them individually. The implication with package deals is that both players are going to immediately play a prominent role and that is often not going to be the case.
Don't think they are a package deal, they have different finalist lists (except LSU and Tennessee) but I wouldn't be shocked if they played college ball together either.
Goooooo Cuse!!
Watkins is a strong forward / not a post. We need a post. We’ve offered 5 for 2024.
Ooh. Wow. Who has SC offered in 2024?
If the go to Tennessee they will , all the talent that team will lose will definitely allow both prospects to be impact players as freshmen . Horston , Key , Jackson , all could be gone after this season .
Hard to imagine Velez and Flaugee playing together with all the swag those two carry . Williams will be the #1 option but those other 2 could cause fireworks together IMO. If they possibly can land both Velez & ADR that would be a tough LSU squad in the future.
Velez and Flaujae are actually really good friends but thats two giant personalities which could potentially be problematic but it doesnt have to be. Flaujae much more engaged on the offensive end while Velez thrives as a facilitator and defender. Very different players but highly competitive and intense.
When a recruit commits this early to an in-state program who hasn't had a lot of recent post-season success, it's typically because they want to play at their dream school and/or in front of family; nothing wrong with that.
Face of the program syndrome? Actually I shouldn’t speculate. Many reasons to pick UMich. Basketball might not be the deciding factor.
The accompanying article by Eric Hansen indicates that Coach Niele Ivey is hoping to for "two to three" 2023 commits. Emma Risch is already one of them, so one can deduce that the Hidalgo is another prime target, as is Cassandre Prosper. This is pretty much what Benchers have been working on, ounce Jadyn Donovan decided to become a devil; err, Blue Devil.
