We need 2-3 More players

[RF2044]

we are not looking to add any players for 18 and we are not adding any new guards for 19 unless Joe G joins, no other guards

So much for that.

 

[Alsacs]

So much for that.

I can say I heard the same thing and it was from somebody close to JB.
I am glad we are going after Golden.
That would be huge for depth.

Oh, I have no doubt that you heard that. But there is a difference between what they say the day after Bazley pulls the rug out from underneath the blindsided coaching staff that thought they were done recruiting for the class of 2018, and what transpires when they step back and reassess options.

Things are set in stone, until circumstances change.

[and for the record, I know that you are 100% in favor of going out and landing a multi-positional big -- you've expressed that numerous times]

 

[Ryand877]

Golden ?

 

[Alsacs]

Golden ?

 

[Ryand877]

Looking back you probably meant Girard, wasn’t trying to be wise. Was confused for a second with my wife and kids talking to me too lol.

Edit: I’m losing my mind today. There is Golden from Pitt. I’m like who the heck is golden.

 

[Footey04]

Golden ?

Let’s get him on campus!!!

At this point, I just want all the players with last names that start with "G", Geurrier, Golden, Girard, Goodine... After a streak of killer "B's", I think it is time for "G's". Alliteration in recruiting is key.

We even had a silent G!

I could go for that.

 

[orangefog]

I could go for that.

The dome could become "The G Spot".

 

[721Comstock]

The dome could become "The G Spot".

So - nobody could ever find it then?

You said in another thread we don't want Joe G.

 

[96ToInfin]

Say we land Golden, do you guys think we add 1 more or are done after that?

Hopefully we land golden and battle comes back and we are set!!!

6'10 220lbs was a burger boy 5 star. Yes please

Big fan of his and think he was mightily underused. He was committed to UVA before Uk and he seems like a perfect fit there. I hope we gove him a look

Some of these kids who go to Duke and UK are really wasting their talent.

and a whole lot of time and potential...

Some of these kids who go to Duke and UK are really wasting their talent.

I think that a lot of these prospects are coddled to the point that they come to believe that they can't fail. They buy into the hype that everybody who goes to UK is destined to be a lottery pick, and go there expecting that's how everything will work out.

Problem is, for every Anthony Davis, there are players like Dakari Johnson who didn't even start his two years there, or Quade who ends up bailing for "greener" pastures once it becomes clear that he's been recruited over and just going to UK isn't the quick path to the NBA he believed.
