Green. Like I have earlier posted.

You can book it.

Hope the class is:
Green
Diallo
Preston
Wright
Brissett
Sidibe

 

[Footey04]

Anybody else besides green?

Actual predictions tend to be hit or miss. It's much easier to wait until our targets are consensus SU leans and then "predict" or say they're an Orange lock. I might try it.

Nah, that's not any fun. Quade is likely to be Orange but then again, some of us have been saying that's been the case all fall, here and elsewhere.

I don't jump on bandwagons. Some here can see what's going on. The others: might want to tape up your ankles. You don't want to sprain them when you inevitably jump off the bandwagon.

Hope the class is:
Green
Diallo
Preston
Wright
Brissett
Sidibe

Green, Brissett and Sidibe are more likely to happen than not. Your class, while loaded with talent, lacks shooting.

This is a good list and many of these guys we have a great shot with. It's a very talented roster but there is just not enough shooting.

Quade is a very good outside shooter. Find a grad transfer shooting specialist. Diallo and Preston are streaky but appear able to knock down the outside shot, sort of like Battle this year

Quade can shoot, I agree. Even adding a fifth year guy, I still think we'd need more. Diallo is worse than streaky from outside. I'm sure he's working on it but he needs to make big strides. We are losing all of our shooters.

So... Nick Richards, he Blue.

 

[RF2044]

Sidibe / Brisset, come on down.

Ironically, if Diallo were a decent shooter, he would definitely be in the NBA next year. So, we have to hope he stinks it up from the outside this year, and then figures it out after the draft.

I'm enjoying my last few minutes before Richards commits to UK and I can believe he might come here.
