Good.
agree . . . but at the same time, I hope he blows up and becomes a 2 and doneWashington gives us depth. Very likely a 4 year guy.
My kingdom for a pg Whos been the program for 4 years at some point.
Who was our last 4yr PG? Scoop?
Those rankings are BS. Brissett and Sidibe are much better than those rankings suggest so I put no stock in Washington's. Have to remember as well that they don't get the attention because they play in Canada.Latest 24/7 rankings have Howard Washington at #279. Yikes. I realize you can't go by these ratings but they give a basic idea of skill level...#279. Usually guys below #150 are stiffs. FWIW: Brissett #145, Sidibe #196. Something is wrong with our recruiting or JB is a genious. One or the other.
The decent schools on his list w offers were: BC, Butler, Dayton, GW, Maryland, Miami, Ohio St, Virginia, Va Tech, Wake Forest.
Guessing cusecaboose is going off the 24 7 or TOS offer list which is compiled over years and is dated.Well .. people were freaking out the other day because supposedly his only offers were like Canisuis, Tulane and Butler. But the rumor was P5 schools were starting to kick the tires and that's why we ramped it up. This offer list is a lot more impressive
Waters is a looooong shot. Don't get any hopes up there.

but we also have scholarship reductions, so unless/until someone else leaves, then there are only 2 slots left. Need another guard and a SF.
Drop Waters and/or Ayala and Egor to the mix and suddenly, after months of hand wringing, we are looking at a top 20 recruiting class.
Two of those guys seem like less than 50/50 shots of being here next year and the third is hopefully closer to 100% returning, so I assume we have 3-4 spots left.
We'll need a SF that can score and a PG to play from day 1. Hopefully, those guys will be good outside shooters too because that will be a significant need.
something is wrong with our recruiting as you said. when was the last time we got a 3 star???we have issuesEDIT: Sorry, I was looking in the wrong report of 24/7 rankings. Latest has:
Brissett #54
Sidibe # 89
Washington #160
That's more like it.
Stars shmars.something is wrong with our recruiting as you said. when was the last time we got a 3 star???we have issues

I think some people have forgotten the recruiting rankings of our 2010 team...one of the best teams we have ever had.
Triche, Rautins, Johnson, and Onuaku were not top 100 recruits, and 3 of them made the NBA. Scoop, Joseph, and Jackson were well regarded but all the same they were not exactly can't miss, blue chippers either.
Rautins and AO were 5th year seniors, Johnson was a 4th year junior. Scoop and Jackson were in their 3rd years. Joseph was in his second year. That team was old and those kids had time in their college careers to develop into what they were.
We can't forget that Scoop wasn't very good as a freshman, Rautins was a nonfactor, Joseph showed potential but had little perimeter game at that point. AO barely played, even though we all loved his offensive potential he showed. Jackson wasn't much of a factor. It took time for all those guys to come on.
With guys like Moyer, Washington, etc. and sanctions almost over, I'm hoping we can get back to having guys around the program for years and getting better like that.
Agree except on Wes. We didn't recruit one-star Wes. We recruited "best Big 12 freshman not named Kevin Durant" Wes.
Except they committed as underclassmen & then became top 25 players & McDonald's AAsThis thread reminds me of the Johnny Flynn and MCW commitment threads.
We can only hope this commitment works out so well...
Have a beerI'm excited that we actually have a guard in the fold, but... I feel empty inside still.
