still wish KO and staff would take a look at this kid

Agreed, but if we're still on Kerem Kanter's list, Morrow going to X takes away one of his more attractive options.

lol @ Ollie is not returning phone calls and the sky is falling. This was a pretty alarming tone for a local paper. The writer could be a boneyard regular.

edit: didn't realize it was Borges. It appears he thinks something is definitely up

 

[husky99]

but according to Chillious, "he's been positive, working hard, super-competitive. We feel like we're gonna get through this little rough patch, and we're gonna come out as good as ever."

 

[intlzncster]

I thought the "no pebble left unturned" line was pretty telling to what you guys are talking about.

Appears to be one of his standard phrases. Here's Chili on Quinnipiac's new hire:

“I think Baker [Dunleavy] will do an excellent job,” Chillious said. “He’s a no-stone-unturned guy. And he hired some great young up-and-coming coaches in college basketball.”

He deleted it, but this was the tweet:

Took a trip to Gonzaga and will visit Georgia Tech.

These are the type of guys Few loves. I just read a good article on his recruiting philosophy the other day. It was a quick good read. It dealt with the whole self entitlement concept with today's players etc ...what he likes about euros.

 

[UConnSwag11]

No idea if the helps or hurts any of the kids we're recruiting...

 

[navery12]

Looks like we're back in on Dort. Seems like a long shot but who knows this early

 

[Matrim55]

Decommitted from Xavier:



6-foot-10, 230 lb pure big man. Spent his first season at Iowa State, but redshirted w/ knee issues, and then went JuCo for a year. Has 3 years of eligibility left.

"Ernst averaged 9.4 points on 63.7% shooting to go with 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season at Indian Hills. He was expected to add rebounding on both ends of the court and is a catch-and-finish player around the rim on offense."

No idea if we're recruiting him, but as others have noted, there are always kids available this time of year. My guess, though, is that he stays in the midwest.

 

[UConnStats]

Definitely is more of a 2 guard, kind of reminds me of Donovan Mitchell.

He's almost half of this top 10, including #1, which is just filthy:

 

[mauconnfan]

"I really pride myself on defense and rebounding," Ernst said. "I like to contest shots, change shots and protect the rim. Just play physical and do a lot of the little things."


Pretty please - 6'9, 237 I'm all in. Check the picture below good sized kid while at Iowa State a year ago I'm sure he's getting even bigger. Need that type especially with the mindset of a rebounder/defender.

Xavier lands JUCO big man for 2017-18

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Sign him up. Big guy with decent footwork, touch around the basket, and what looks like a pretty nice mid-range jumper.

Take it back Mooch maybe 3 years of him would be a nice fit. Some really good things to see on this video at least, will rethink this one. Thanks WhereistheDove.

 

[mauconnfan]

Sign me up for Ernst, Wooten, Diarra and Waters now!

We definitely can use him, real thin in experience and bodies in the post right now.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Likely a first rounder, also the staff will be seeing him on Thursday.

Duvivier, who sat out last season due to “personal reasons” , will graduate from Oregon State in June and will be immediately eligible to play next season.

If he grew up a Georgetown fan and they're recruiting him, would other schools really have a shot? Georgetown doesn't have many quality guards left on the roster either.
