Do you get the sense this will be a one guard (Malachi) class?I wouldn't rip into the comp that he has been playing against as of late as quoted by his coach. “He has been playing extremely well these last three weeks,” Hasson said. “In the last six games he is averaging 24 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. And in those six games we played Our Savior New American (No. 9 in USA Today), Cardinal Hayes (No. 1 MSG Varsity at the time – Undefeated), Mt Olive (No. 1-ranked in Morris County on a 10-game win streak), Blair Academy (No. 1-ranked Prep in NJ), and two league games." Plus I watched his recent game against Blair yesterday that I'll post about next and I have to say that I was very impress and think he would be our best post player since AO/RJ, with potential to be even better. To answer your question, yes I do think that we'll still go after Bryant even if Diagne commits. Can't trust DC2 knees at this point and we'll need as much depth as we can in the post. Things have gone quiet with Jones and if Howard doesn't visit then that's a sign that we may have backed off a bit.
Paging Doctor Ennis. Come in, Doctor Ennis.Do you get the sense this will be a one guard (Malachi) class?
Depends on if Ennis is a goner. If he bounces then I think Howard becomes our guy if we still want him.Do you get the sense this will be a one guard (Malachi) class?

Good post. You basically answered my thoughts.When you say "Depends on if Ennis is a goner," do you mean gone after this season or gone after his sophomore season? Because the way its looking, I think its safe to say he's gone before Franklin Howard would be a college freshmen. Ennis could potentially be a lotto pick with a good tourney run this season, though I think it would serve him well to return and improve upon his athleticism before making the leap to the NBA.
Going after Franklin Howard means that we not only will land one less wing/big man recruit (Diagne/Bryant/Jones/Diallo/Silva), but it also would make the 2016 class a harder sell to Battle and Murray. I think going for 3's, 4's, and 5's to round out the 2015 class is the ideal direction for the program, while we can turn our attention to guards such as Battle and Murray in 2016 to replace Cooney and Gbinije.
I think the bigger question is, will we get 4 or 5 players from this class. I know it appears like we'll go with 4, but I think we could go with 5. McCullough has a strong chance at being one-and-done. If we land five players I'll gladly take any combination of Diagne/Bryant/Jones/Diallo/Silva/Howard. But if we only get four, then we'll have some tough choices to make, especially if Diagne takes the third scholarship this weekend. Whatever happens, it's a good problem to have.
How do we know it's not Battle?hey Moustapha he is talking to you...

This visit to cuse this weekend gone be jumpin ... Hopefully my brova will commit while he there

I'm feeling pretty good about this guy this weekend. Just in a general way, nothing purely factual.
If that's not a clear indication he's committing, I don't know what is.
I'm pretty sure that makes 36,004; not 5So FIVE closers in on this. Jim, Momma Diagne, Malachi, Baye, and 36k strong.
