SF V.J. King (Louisville Commit)

[Fishy]

The "good" thing about recruiting against Kentucky is that if it's merely a top-25 player, there's a great chance they're going to go in another direction.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Insane but undoubtedly true.

 

[JimHurley]

I bet you he talks to Ollie more often than Calipari.

Believe me, I really hope that's true.

You can say all you want about people's "meaningless" predictions, but I make my judgements on trends. And the trend as of the last 5 years or so has been that we have no shot against the names we are going up against in his Top 5. No, the sky is not falling, but this kid seems like he likes and respects Ollie, but has other things in mind.

Yes, on his mind is "I'm a top 25 player and I want to see top programs."

For the Crystal Ball worriers, I'm shocked UL is trending also, then I realized they have his next visit.

The crystal ball thing is really incredibly dumb. King's two leaders are listed as Louisville and Ohio State. The same Ohio State that didn't make his final five and aren't listed under schools recruiting him.

I'd rather have Kegler, although Kegler got one Florida and one Miss St. pick yesterday too.

Multiple reports have said King basically doesn't play defense. That doesn't fly, ask Omar.

It's hilarious that one guy on the Crystal Ball picked Florida for him literally the same day that Donovan left for OKC.

So, this is his second visit? Could be a good sign!

 

[Danzz]

VJ has a very nice Kembaish step back jumper.

 

[uchusky32]

Most importantly. Does he have a Kembaness commitment?

 

[Tampahusky]

I want this guy so bad. My fave 2016 recruit.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Official?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Maybe this is why we aren't recruiting brown very hard.... King is better.

Well, they don't play the same position so...

 

[jazyj]

Well, they don't play the same position so...

in college they're both wing guard type players

Sure, one plays the 2 and the other plays the 3, which are often interchangeable. But they aren't the same size and do not play anything alike. There is no chance the staff would stop recruiting Brown because of King, especially with the amount of open spots.

This, we are going to have at least 4 scholarships open for 2016 even up to 7 which is a lot they aren't going to stop recruiting players who play the same/similar position. 2016 is a huge recruiting year for the program like many others have mentioned.

 

[RipCity]

One thing I think we have going for us over Louisville is that we can likely offer him a starting spot right away.

At UL he'd be behind Deng Adel, who is very good but not a one and done. Hamilton is likely gone after this year, leaving a huge chunk of playing time open at the 3 for King. With his shooting stroke and 7'0 wingspan, King is likely a one year college player.

Definitely 6 scholarships if we only add Gibbs for next year. Currently have 3 scholarships open with 3 seniors graduating.

Scholarships grid for anyone interested:

 

[David 76]

OMG! In 19-20 we will have no players!!

 

[huskiesnyc]

Thanks TCF. I knew we had some scholarships to give but didn't realize we have at least 6 assuming no one leaves early. It goes without saying that this is by far the most important recruiting class in a long time..

 

[David 76]

tcf, could you lay out, at this moment in time, those recruits we have interest in/offered for 16 & 17?
thanks
