Class of 2018 SG Eric Ayala (DE/IMG) to Maryland

[sususpicious]

You're a brave poster, my friend. You realize the comparisons that will soon be made with our long-vanished "insider" from the Quade era (or error?) At any rate, FWIW, i certainly have much more faith in the source for this information!

Also re: 5th YR's - I don't think people realized how lucky we got this year. Most 5th year guys will have trouble with the zone adjustment, but AW3 had as good of an offensive year as we've seen in a while and Gillon single handily won us a few games, 2 in ACC play. We hit the jackpot with both, had a 1st round pick in Lydon, and another future 1st round/lotto pick in Battle. And we didn't make the tournament.

I'm ok with a 5 year as a final piece to a strong roster. But all they are is temporary solutions that don't deal with the long term problem. We need kids to build around for multiple years. I think Brisset, Moyer, Sidbie and Washington will be a good core going forward. But we need more.

If we don't get Ayala and Tucker, I go hard for the 5th year guys and pound the recruiting for next year. There are guys we should get in 2018. One I mentioned that is higher rated than just about anyone we have got in the last 10 years. if JB could find the time to go see him and offer him.

Meh, thankfully it's the weekend.

 

[dasher]

Oh god I hope.

In the social media age, kids love this kind of attention. Maybe Ayala wants to say 2018 to get the talk out, then pulls a fast one and reclassifies to 2017 - it's a way to stay in Twitter mentions

I would love him sticking it to Zags as much as getting the kid. Zags and the big boy comment.

 

[Cusefan0307]

before we hit the panic button. Which I did. my source tells me that Ayala is blowing smoke to Zags. That we are still getting Ayala. Lips to God's ears. Which I would love after the big boy comment by Zags after Green went to Kentucky.

Jeez and I already dropped 30 dollars on two Manhattans at the airport bar.

Dash can you please re-mention who this 2018 would be?

Won't speak for him, but until he answers... I think he had mentioned Duarte.

 

[SUFan44]

Thinking further about this... Zags isn't exactly a reliable source these days. I'm hopeful that is the case in this scenario, too.

What's the specific comment ?
about us not being a big boy?

My guess is Shittu but I have no idea

I'd take Duarte but I don't believe he's highly rated at all.

I have never said his name. But he is a two guard and he is from ...let's say the south. I would go to espn and look at 2018 recruiting if I were you.

This, I will never forget how he said UK "bi boy'd" us, Kentucky shill bastard.

 

[Deano]

He's not highly smart grade wise and that's the main problem with him.

Funny, I swear, that is what my source said almost word for word.

That is why if we do land Ayala, it would be double sweet.

Had a feeling it was Antwann Jones when you mentioned Boeheim hasnt visited yet

 

[Cusefan0307]

Jones. Easy call. Perfect replacement for Battle. Griff helped us here I take it. JB needs to step up or retire.

 

[721Comstock]

I'd rather tank than sign grad transfers just to be mediocre again.

Why? For better draft position? :crazy::noidea:

 

[Cuse9292]

Hey we don't need Antwann Jones, we have Howard Washington and Frank Howard running the show, best 1-2 combo we've had in the last 20 years.

so do you think we have a good shot with him because of the griffin connection or is there other reasons?

 

[cusetown1]

This is dasher right now

 

[Cusefan0307]

If you're not going to make the tournament with grad transfers anyway why sign them. It makes no sense.
