I would take Hurt over them all. We are in good with a lot of 5 star players in 2019. I wish we had more open. Its going to be the first two to commit.

Between Hurt, Brooks, and Watford, it feels like we're a lock to get at least one of them, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pretty surprising for us not to get one of them, IMO. I wouldn't rule out us taking 4 in 2019 and getting two of those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we land Garland and Langford, those two could go pro after their frosh year and Davis after his junior, plus Morgan graduating is 4. Will it happen? I don't know, but it isn't that far-fetched either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but it isn't that far-fetched either. That's all very possible but I expect a transfer and possibly two. The odd man out to me is Durham especially if Garland commits. I've thought he would eventually transfer since the day he committed and my track record is pretty good on those predictions. The only Crean recruit that I thought would transfer that didn't was Priller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Durham seems likely, but Garland, RP and Langford are going to push out one of the guards on the roster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a boom or bust guy, and I wonder if Forrester is a sign Archie thinks he's a bust. I mean, did it take Crean that long to realize Bawa and Jurkin weren't gonna contribute and he needed to find other options? Conversely, I wonder if this is a sign Archie likes Durham.

ephul Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Folks, it's so refreshing being in the spot we are in. A new coach, never coaching a game, and we are talking about which 2019 5* we will take. What a change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say we are in good with Brooks is an understatement. Jackson Davis and Watford are definitely looking good. And not to mention Hurt, should we show him priority. And let me add to my point. When were we actually in on this many 5* players, and for that matter, this many In State players? There is no question, there is a different "buzz" around the state with Archie. And Archie is a no B.S. guy. What you see is what you get. And guys are loving him. Nothing against Crean, but he was a politician. The same guys that love him, will hate him 2 years later.

Seeking6 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I feel like with the new potential transfer rules you almost have to recruit to be over the limit each and every year. Once Archie gets going I would expect a combination of 1 transfer and at least 1 player to NBA every year. Those moving targets almost force coaches to over recruit by at least 1 scholarship each year. Romeo, Garland, Brooks, Watford, Hurt....any of those types of guys say yes you say awesome. We'll figure out the rest later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADegenerate Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I don't know how the recruiting is going to play out from here but I'll say this ... I've been waiting patiently for ~20 years to be in the very position we're in now recruiting wise. We've already landed the 62nd, 87th, 101st, 102nd (Race in '17), and 168th. We're in deep for 5th + 9th to round out '18. We're laying the ground work for the 4th, 12th, 21st, 31st, and 67th in '19 and it's promising for all of them. Landing the top 20 consistently will make us elite 8+ contenders on a yearly basis. For the past 20 years I'd be happy to land 1 top 20 every few years and now we're looking good for 5 of them! Incredible...we also have what looks to be one hell of a (young!) coach on top of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
