This has been a major target for quite some time. We were early on him, we were involved well before the reclass. He is definitely a potential 2022 reclass

 

[BoukofJames]

The last time I looked him up he still hadn’t been graded, but he’s now #34 in the 247 composite ranking — that’s big time!

So you're saying he's gonna go from 2022, to 2023, and back to 2022?

Unlikely. But yes that's what he's saying

That's what I'm thinking, but I guess it could happen.

Well I hope he has a flux Capacitor

I hear that there is going to be an all family conference conference to weigh the pros and cons. You might say it will be an important 24 hours at (the) Lemonds.

I think he is our first 2023 recruit unless Kimani leaves. Looks talented... we have a solid relationship with PSA too

Would fit the narrative of RJ staying another year and then needing to replace him and Gaff in 2023.

 

[MDHuskFan]

We’re in on Simeon too, would this take us out of that, or would we recruit both if 1 committed.

Not sure Wilcher is a realistic target

This is more important than the K news

BOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Chief00]

Confirmed.

 

[UconnU]

Yes. Absolutely. Go back and read the interviews from when he down classed he didn’t seem totally gung ho about the whole situation. Seemed to be in flex. Maybe grades?

Would be odd, but you won't find me complaining.

 

[bendm]

forgot we still had an open scholly...

Thanks for this, I keep watching him cause I know we’ve been on him for a little bit. I’m waiting to see who that “top dog” recruit is going to be. By “top dog” I mean solidified, undisputed 5 star.

 

[navery12]

Technically 3 open still. But Lemond would be moving from 2023 into 2022, not 2022 into 2021

I would be surprised if it was grades. If I remember correctly, he was young for his grade. Also, the reason I remember some of this is that he was at a high school that I know in northern NJ. It's a relatively strong academic school that's really expensive and not known for basketball. I thought the reclass and move to Blair Academy was to let him make up for some lost development/recruiting time.
