Sign me up for Diarra and 2 from this group (Harris, Cam, Waters, Sean Obi)

Besides Diarra. I do not think we are a top pick for any of these guys.
I would take it a step further and say we are not plan B at the moment for any of these guys except diarra.
 
I am looking at the other top 25 team's roster. Almost all of them have have 2 to 3 question marks on the starting five. The only team that have a better roster next yr in the ABC is Cincy, we are the number 2 teams now excluding WSU. We do have the people for the 4 n 5 spots. They are Cobb, Diarra twins, Polley n Carlton. Now we need production out of 2 of these guys. I saw Cobb n he is much better then Enoch n Durham ever was for us last yr. He needs to lost wt which I am confident he will. 3 guard offense will be our most productive offensively. Will need a veteran 4th guard for that. I want samuel now because of the toughness factor n the ability to guard the 3

Haven't seen anything on UConn/Ayala in a while. Last I saw he was offered by Oregon last week and had an in home visit from Oregon over the weekend. I see UConn watched him play back on January 28th but no updates since.

Bumping this thread...any new info on a possible Sid re-class? Could use him more and more now that a lot of our "Plan A" guys seem unlikely. Chief gave us a little tease but then ghosted....any news?

Getting Wilson, Diarra, Waters, and this grad big Williams (nothing special but a big body and would only take up a 2017 ship) would do the trick for me.

Watch #4. If nothing else he's athletic. Also watch #1 because it's a sick dunk
 


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
 
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."

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:

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

 


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

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:
 
"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
 


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.

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