That was ridiculous. Love the pretty hook first few seconds in, but it looks like he is now playing basketball in the movie Above the Rim, which had 8 1/2 foot high rims. Kid starting to equal monster. Please don't share this clip with Kentucky forums. Thanks!

This kid, Tucker, and Green. Please...
Aware we need a big class but those are my three favorites.

The only team that I fear in his recruitment. Stay away from PayCal, Nick!

Great avatar btw, blue.
Your list is quality, but I would go Richards, Lonnie, Green. Lonnie's mean.
And para bailar la Bamba as the gravy to this feast.

Forgot all about Lonnie, he's fantastic as well. Very exciting year and hopefully we can make another deep march run to land and keep some of these kids.

That totally looked like the rims were lower than 10 feet! Crazy, this Richards kid!

In my dream class for 2017, he was the center, but he seemed like more of a project. He now looks like a centerpiece. He still needs to develop his left hand, but he has moves to his right and touch. And what a great athlete, reminds me a bit of Deandre Jordan. I really hope we land this kid.

Nick Richards would be a huge get. Based on need I think he is more important than Green. I know a lot of people disagree with that. Based on need though I think he is. If you do the whole we can't get these other people without Green thing then you can make an argument for him but I think if we could grab Richards and a scorer we would be fine without Green.

The other thing I like about this kid is how he seems pretty tough and doesn't do a lot of smiling. He is all business. I mean he blocks two shots and doesn't take his eye off where the ball is. He also doesn't react like he is excited about it.

Hmm, I don't know. Our friends at the B-Yard think they are getting Richards or Bamba along with Diallo!! Not sure what they're drinking, but I want some of that silly sauce.

This class has more wings than BWW. We'll get a couple of good ones for sure.

And we NEED them, given the attrition we'll likely have this offseason.

One UConn poster believes that they will either get Nick Richards or Mohamed Bamba. Based on the information we have on here, we have a good shot at Richards, but Bamba is not on our radar. Do any of our insiders have any updates on Richards? And also, if they would care to comment on the likelihood that UConn gets either?

Richards is Cuse/Uk while Bamba is Uk/Duke imo

That's the vibe I have been getting too. I think UConn was an early player for these guys, as well as Diallo, but in the long haul, these kids want to play in the big conferences.

I really hope DeAndre Ayton comes east and goes to UK. Then Bamba goes to Duke and we will get Richards.

Thinking this is a highly likely outcome.
