Class of 2018 PF Simi Shittu (CN) to Vanderbilt

[orangefog]

I dunno, we have zero "true" small forwards on the roster or pipeline. Unless, you consider Hughes as a pure 3... Now, maybe Darius or Oshae prove "serviceable," but I still consider both guys, and Matthew as 4s...

I would consider Darius Bazley a true 3.

I would consider Darius Bazley a true 3.

Hey, from your lips to God's ears...
Then hell, add Simi for our bookend forwards next year!

I think it's important to keep in mind that there is no meaningful difference between playing the 3 and 4 in JB's system. It makes zero difference in the zone, as the rotations are identical.

On offense it does matter in terms of skill sets, but this is relative to skills of the other 4 guys on the court. In any case, Brissett and/or Baze will be effective playing the 3, IMO.

Oh Shittu!

 

[tbonezone]

let's hope shittu happens .

 

[JLine]

Just hope he's not in the ACC. Don't see us getting him, so don't want to play him.

Until we finally meet up with UK again.

Interesting, I didn't think they'd be able field a team for much longer.

UNC and their fans confidently (arrogantly?) expect to skate. Others hope the Tar Heels get hammered. Gonna be interesting.

Shittu may go to S Hit U. Nice.

At least he won't have to worry about the post-season (or the Head Coach).

If, somehow, UNC gets clobbered, Williams may not want to stay around much longer. He's not a young man.

Boy, I'm not sure. I think they get clobbered. But for the reason you point out, I'm not sure Williams is going elsewhere at this point in his career. At any rate, the UNC situation is no secret among recruits, including Shittu. There are better choices out there.

I'm talking retirement.

We still have a shot, we are in the mix, i am not saying we are getting him, to be clear, but i am saying we are more involved than peeps think

I interested in seeing if the NCAA stuff starts effecting UNC's recruiting.

Of course it is. They are going to have like 8 scholarships if it's done right.

I meant the threat of punishment before hand.
