68Hoosier Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think Langford to finish out the class and bank the other ride for the following year would still be a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely. If we can get a 6'10"+ big, I'd take that in addition to Romeo. Otherwise, save for a grad transfer or next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another great write up from ITH. I just read that and was going to post it here but you beat me to it. Didn't know he has been on campus so much. A good sign. Brings up an interesting question.... How would you rank / who would you prefer from the group of Brooks, Watford and Jackson-Davis for 2019? Does the competition for that spot prompt an early commit? If so, I think Jackson-Davis would be the logical choice because of his greater contact/ access to the team. On paper, we have room for one, think we could/ would take 2. All 3 are about the same size and position. I still think we need a Center, but will save that discussion for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think we will have at least two scholarships for the 19 class because you will always have transfers or players leaving early for the NBA. I would take a class of Davis and Brooks because if pretty much equal I will take the kids from Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks then Davis. I have seen Watford twice and he looks soft to me. I don't think Archie plays by the old school 5 positions. Or cares about true centers. You are either a guard, wing or a big.

Blazin Hazin Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 One thing I do gather from the recruiting, is we don't seem too desperate for an off-guard 2018, so the staff must be fairly confident in Durham. Good lower rated off-guards are usually pretty easy to find- Oladipio, Sheehey, even guys like Malik Story and Remy Abell had good college careers. The off-guards we're going after are all pretty high-profile. If the staff didn't think Durham could make a decent starter at some point, I think you'd see more 2-guards visiting.

We do have Damezi signed for next year who is a shooting guard. Combined with CuJo, Al and Romeo , I think we are pretty deep there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is a pretty highly touted recruit and we've hardly been talking about him on here. And Moore has been described as an athletic "project," which makes me think he may be a candidate for the OG Anunoby Breakout Freshman of the Year Award. Would be huge if he could give us spot minutes at the 5 this year - he's had some time to bulk up with Cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get Romeo or Dort, CuJo should have that spot locked down in 2018 and 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure either until I started to watch all of his youtube stuff. yes , I know its youtube, but you can get an idea. Its one of those kids that will fill a roll for 4 years.

By that description- he should be ranked higher. Don't get me wrong- OG was much better than his ranking, so was Victor. And yes- ARchie knows more about basketball than me. But I'd argue there's probably a reason he's rated as the 150th best player in the nation. And given the fact that Moore, Smith, Thompson, and Hunter all are described as combo forwards, his recruitment seems a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbmhoosier Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 We are definitely going to be stacked at the 3/4 positions in the coming years. I really think that Ed Schilling will land Brooks for 2019 as well. I'd like to see us add a center. We're in trouble if Deron has a monster season and leaves early which is possible. I think he's a better NBA prospect than Bryant was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
