Class of 2014 Kaleb Joseph..,,

[IthacaMatt]

he's got some Kemba in him

I haven't seen enough of him, but I kind of see that, too. That and Jonny Flynn.

Definitely one of my favorite Internet videos in history.

Oh, lawwwwwd. Just. Too. Good.
I can't even keep up with them, just started with Brandon Reese alley oop thread LOL and Jermaine Lawrence...
it's like brain freeze and a splitting headache all at the same time.

I'm in love, and in pain.
Now, if I ever get bored again in my lifetime, I know where to get rejuvenated.

Those were the days. I like to think of the Bjorn era as my finest contributions to the board in the nearly 14 or 15 years I've been a member.

Going to propose right now, that this kid's nickname is Michael Scott. Never has there been a player whose style invokes so many "That's what she said" references!

He would slide right in.

...And once he's in there ... its' impossible to predict what he's going to do. He could spin and score, no-look, dunk, stop and pop ...

I will give you both tees all day brother.

Did u just give a triple tee ?

LOL, yeah Georgetown is beating us out for a recruit. :crazy:

 

[MadNY3]

Saw on twitter we recently offered. Pass first PG. Really really like what I see. Duke also on him. New Hampshire kid.

A tad flashy, great vision, decent shot for a PG. if you watch him on YouTube, you'll see he has what I call the "Pearl crossover"- its a one handed crossover. Never thought I'd ever see a kid with that move again.

Lots to like here.

Have to say (again) I watched more on this kid. Love him. LOVE him.

I am not a recruitnick, but he's got the tangibles and the intangibles. Like I said...a moxie PG which is what I think you need to win the ring. Hope we land him.

Francis - so u think this 2014 class is gonna be Chris M, Joseph and either goodluck/center? or do we pass on a center if either christmas and coleman dont bolt?

 

[AWMKY]

Video a little bit older, but can't get enough footage on this kid. Seems like he has ice in his veins.

Really like Joseph but don't you think there's a very good chance we get Whitehead instead of Joseph and/or Goodluck

I think the first two you mentioned are locked in with Joseph/Whitehead/TBD getting that 2nd spot and the 3rd is probably the biggest question mark. At this point unless we turn up the heat again, I expect Goodluck to end up at Indiana. Until we know definitely what is going to happen with DC2 and Rak, I'm not sure if the staff will make center a high priority until next spring. 2015 is very deep with talented bigs like Diallo and Diagne, who are probably better overall prospects than what they can get in 2014.

Whitehead will most likely drag out his recruitment until the fall or spring. I'm sure Joseph or another prospect would have committed to SU by then.

 

[Trueblue25]

Could the 2015 class end up looking like...

Bryant, Briscoe, Diallo?

You forgot DC2!

But if you factor in odds of going pro, you've got to take out these (in my odds order):
1. Grant - I think he is exploding and this is his last year - not a real problem though, look at all the back-up talent.
2. Tyler - I think he is here 2 years, he has geared his future to the pro's.
3. McCollough - JB said best since Melo, but Francis' doubts had me lower him.
4. DC2 - I think he will be here in '15. I think he could leave but will choose to stay - that is how you become a local hero.

You subtract those and we still have a major team:
pg KJ2/Buss
sg Briscoe/Cooney
sf: BJ/Bryant
pf: Roberson/Bryant
c: DC2/Diallo/Obokoh

BJ and Roberson should be fantastic seasoned vets by then and Bryant should make an immediate impact. Briscoe also really impresses me.

Chris M is 1 and done..no question

 

[Madbiker]

Francis, would the staff take both Joesph and Whitehead in the 2014 class or is it one or the other? I know everyone is high on Joseph as a PG but Whitehead is an offensive force who can make his own shot, get to the rim like Dion, and is also a very good passer/ball handler. I could see taking both.The center spot is too crowded so I don't think Goodluck will be a priority and I doubt the PT situation is attractive to him.
