Some of that is true but I do think a lot of that is Cals big head snd pissed that Duke and now Memphis is leap frogging him for recruits. That said Todd has been hinting for awhile now that he might go overseas. uK had an assistant go visit him so they probably got that from him. My honest opinion...when the shoe money dried up because of the scrutiny the kid decided to make some quick cash overseas and pull a Lamelo, Hampton, Presley, Bowen, Bazely route. It’s becoming more common. I've been saying this for years and agree with Cal (in this one instance) that certain players will use schools to get followers. Now that people want to pay players for their likeness/brand,etc....one of the biggest ways to value that player is number of followers on social media platforms. What's the best way to get followers? Include 2-3 high profile rabid fan bases to your recruitment. Great pickup for Michigan. Wake me when he makes it to campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I like Coach Juwan," Todd told ESPN last weekend. "I like the fact he used to play in the NBA, I like that he played in college, and I like the fact he played my position. I also like the school, obviously having a Michigan degree, that means something." Todd has often been considered a candidate to go overseas and play professionally for a year before entering the NBA draft, but he told ESPN last weekend that he planned to go to college. "It's a thought in the back of my head," he said of playing overseas, "but I really think the college route is the best route." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) So looking at the 2021 class I would like to see a pg, a wing, a pf, and a c. The pg spot is Landers if he wants it but I think the staff needs to fins some backup options. The wing spot has several good options that the staff has been in contact with. The pf/c spots could be Kaufman, Furst, and or Duncamb. That said I see Kaufman as a 4 and Furst and Duncamb as 5's based on their current skills sets. So yes Furst and Kaufman can play together. If they don't want to because of personal reasons then the staff needs to find other options for that spot. If the class is bigger than 4 then they can take best players and work with what they can get. Edited November 20, 2019 by DC2345 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Biggest in state class.in quite some time HSN who are the must get for CAM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 So a name to keep an eye on that I could see his ranking increase this year is Gus Etchison at Hamilton Heights. He currently has offers from Western Michigan, IUPUI, and the dreaded Incarnate Word. But if he continues to show the athleticism and shooting he did last night watch out. He scored 26 against us in a scrimmage last night. He is 6'1 or 6'2 and can jump out of the gym for a pg. He has a good shooting stroke and good court vision. Obviously Lander is option 1 but this could be a decent option to look at if Lander goes elsewhere. I also feel for the kid since his dad got killed just a few weeks ago too in a farming accident. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure there is a single must get. It looks like there are 4 main targets right now. Getting all 4 is highly unlikely. Getting 3 would be awesome and seems plausible right now. Getting 2 is probably realistic. Getting only 1 could be bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Here is a video of Gus Etchison from this summer playing for Indiana Elite. I'm not saying he is a kid IU needs to offer now just someone that could rise in rankings and fill a need if we miss on Lander. He has better athleticism than Luke Brown imo and plays a harder schedule. Not a knock on Brown because I'm a fan of his two but this kid is really athletic. Hamilton Heights could have a 17-19 win season this year imo as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake. When you hear/see Jacobi have a better stat line than Kaufman at times this year, it does not mean Kaufman had a bad game. It means Jacobi is that good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a pure athletic standpoint and ball handling skills this guy is elite I just don't know where he ends up because he looked to be about 5-10, 150.

He just lost his father in a farming accident a couple weeks ago. Tragic. His dad was tony Etchison from noblesville in the early 90’s I believe. Gus can literally dunk it any way you want. It’s stupid good! I wouldn’t be shocked to see us watch him this year and next spring/summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blocked our 6’5 post player on one shot that was ridiculous. He is pretty well put together from a muscle stand point considering his height and weight. I though he was a little taller than 5’10 but that might just be because he played bigger than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inequality Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Jd Davison would be a good get. 6’3” 170 PG/combo from Alabama. Insanely athletic. High motor. Good vision. Offers from Memphis - Bama - Auburn and a few others. None from IU 😕 https://www.maxpreps.com/m/athlete/jerddarian-davison/uET60vfDEeeT-Oz0u-e-FA/default.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
