I'll take a stab, and Iommi or Jordoo can chime in if I'm off. I see the following:

- Kalif Battle - seems like the staff is high on him. And we're probably in good shape as JB has visited with him and his dad recently. He obviously has a strong connection to SU with his brother playing here and is a talented/athletic scorer. I think the staff is looking at him as a SG. At that spot, Buddy will be a sophomore and Hughes will be a junior (transfer). But minutes might be available since Iommi indicated up-thread that Hughes might go pro before '19;

- Kahlil Whitney, last time I checked, is 6'6 and probably still growing since he's in the '19 class. The staff may project him as a 3, which would mean that we could take Kalif and Kahlil to play the 2 and 3. He's talked recently about setting up a visit, and it appears that the staff is in frequent contact. Small forward is probably a position of need in '19, since it's also not looking like Brissett's going to last.

- Precious is a dream-forward. At 6'9", he's in the Bazely mode (yes he's that talented). He can do it at all 3 levels, protect the rim in the zone and stretch the D. I think we're on his radar but there are many blue bloods interested.

[Add: I'm not as familiar with the other front line guys we're recruiting, except the staff's high on Stewart at PF. He's a physical beast with a local (Rochester) connection. Things took a downhill turn when we went away to prep, but it looks like he still has interest since he was at the Oakland game]
