Derrick Jones...

[phillydad]

I am not up on recruiting as many of you, with Richardson in should I still bother to check Jones out?

Probably not.

It was Kentucky or Syracuse on Jones but we are out now I think

I don't think we're interested anymore.

Bryant, Diallo, Diagne, Silva. I think we get Bryant and one of the others first come first served.

We only have one spot left:

Bryant is probably the best player of the current set of players with offers. Diallo or Diagne would be good. But we will probably end up with Silva.

Those numbers always work themselves out.

Briscoe is the only one I believe is out of the picture now. Richardson will probably be an SG. Jones would be an SF. First come first served.

Well, I just don't think Grant or Ennis leave for the NBA after this year. Too many players in the last few years get drafted and then don't get any playing time. Too many players drop out of the NBA after a year or two.

At present he has no offer from Kentucky. Not saying he won't be offered just that he has not been yet.

I agree with you on Briscoe. Both Richardson and Jones are 6'6". Richardson may be a SF by the time he graduates. I don't think Jones is going to be a priority. I think they will go after another big if possible assuming Grant leaves by 2015.

What's that have to do with 2015 ?

Jones is a freak athlete but needed to expand his bball skills which is something he hasn't done much of and certainly not at the same pace as his peers. He may start slipping in the rankings. I believe we were looking good to land Jones but backed off.

Lets just say there were some people shocked that he didn't commit to Kentucky after Big Blue Madness. Why? Nobody knows.

And Richardson has far better skills than Jones. As done TylerL who we also have committed already. We really don't need a 2 or 3 for 15 anymore.

That was strange as he may not get the chance again.

I agree with you. Richardson is 2 right now. But he may grow an inch or two by 2015. I think Grant leaves after next season. So I think the one or two remaining spots will probably go to a PF or Center. Bryant would be an awesome person to get but that would be just an amazing recruiting class.

I don't disagree with that, but do not think he is totally out just yet. In any case it's great to be Orange these days.

No offer on the table.

 

[cusetown1]

Thomas Bryant is an absolute must get.

"great" is just not a strong enough adjective!

Yes, but then poof ! Lydon commits the next week.

UK only extends offers to players who have no concept on how to play basketball as a team. Gee, at this pace, they may not even get invited to the NIT!

 

[Dave85]

To be honest with you, I am more excited about Richardson than Lydon.

I am more excited with Cooney and Ennis.
