Bear Down Wildcats

^ absolutely agree on offense. Could be a very exciting group. Really comes down to defense: Luther: how quickly he picks up the defensive principals and ability to execute Lee: does he make the sophomore jump? (caveat: I am rooting for him) Akot: Can he effectively defend the position for longish p...

Mannion and Green alone would be a fantastic class. I'm not of the mind Randolph or Akot necessarily will be at the point they should leave. We definitely should return Williams, Doutrive, Barcello, Jeter and Lee with Gettings coming in. If Randolph and Akot both returned, that's a really good 10 d...

baycat93

That would be a fantastic class. I guess w/ Stone Gettings the McD/R-E dream is no more. Bird in the hand and time in the system makes total sense.

A lot of interchangeable parts and a decent amount of experience. Especially if one of Randolph/Akot somehow return for '19/'20.

How’s Miller doing with ‘19 recruiting? Has he weathered the storm from last year or does he need about one more good year on the court to recover? God damn my wildcat heart can’t take another season like the last one or two. Just give me a good season without off the court drama and with no major ...

Follow up question for those in the know... the class looks pretty big... were they expecting more guys to go pro?

Looks like we carried 46 guys last year. This class is nearly 1/2 that.

Thanks!

I didn't say UCLA would finish 2nd but that they have the 2nd best roster. UCLA normally has a top 3 roster and proceeds to finish outside the top 3. That's the current state of Bruin hoops. UCLA's front court is certainly better (at least deeper), but I don't see a ton of difference b/w UCLA and A...

Cal is def not a great basketball option - but the best school option. Like it or not, UNR is a legit basketball option now. As good as UofA? We're all biased and probably not, but Reno & Musselman are far from a bad option these days. Hard not to get optimistic about this though from our perspecti...

I think the key to the season is Williams and Coleman forming a bond and working together to lead the team. If their relationship is unselfish and aligned and they set the tone with conviction, the rest of the team will follow.

Okoro isnt a 5 star. Is he reclassifying to 2018? That is just what is on their board. Is this the same fuckwad that said Oregon and ASU were Williams's top schools? I don't know...I just recently went there so don't know any history. It is not a very active forum. They think okoro is reclassifying...

Mike Luke on 1290 just said some Oregon insider (who has been wrong before, take with a grain of salt) said BW and some other five star are committing to the Ducks Saturday to give them the best rated PAC-12 class ever. There aren't any other uncommitted top recruits beyond Brown and Williams, and ...

I think an important key to '18 is the fact that none of our freshman decided to jump ship and transfer. That is huge. As much as they disappointed at times their frosh year, I expect all of them to be big contributors next year. Such a great point. It seems we have at least one transfer every year...

Got a name. It's a very very safe hire with connections in a big recruiting area of ours. That's all I can say. Every thing is still pending though of course. Safety and recruiting sound like just what the doctor ordered. I’ll press just a little further: a) would you be happy with him being a Cat ...

Ryan Luther, Grad transfer PF from Pitt, is on campus as well. Would love to lock him up this weekend along with Omar. That would make it so that we really would just need a PG or two to be a comfortable tourney team. Luther starts at the 4 from day 1 and Omar is the future at the wing. Gotta land ...

Interesting that they didn't mention Stanford at all. Every thing I've heard about that recruitment is if he gets into Stanford that's where he's going.

Are any of those guys based on the west coast?

Doutrive and akinjo are cats next year imo. I believe this is where we're headed. It's just a matter of who else comes in to fill the holes in the post and at starting point guard (unless Miller just decides to hand the keys over to Akinjo & Barcello). Two good players. If no Williams or Cremo... w...

My order of priority: 1 Williams (1a. Cremo if no Williams, or first to committ) 2. Luther (need more big bodies!) 3. Doutrive 4. Akinjo 5. Taylor Caveat: If Tevian Jones or Cassius Stanley become options they would be 3b. If we dont get Williams, Akinjo becomes more of a priority. Truth is we have ...

Thanks to all involved. Congrats to Die Hard and BayCat. I suspect DHD and BC93 cheated and actually thought about their picks. Karma will get you in the end, my friend. Yes, I did actually think through my picks and even believed Miller when he praised Akot enough for me to pick him in the next ga...

Congrats DHD!

Chicat, thank you for your effort and delivery on this. It is always a fun addition to following the Cats and the games.

No clue who we put on Kevin Knox (6'9" with a 7ft wingspan). This is the match-up that scares me the most if we get to play them. A legit athlete with length who can put the ball on the floor.

I said this in the other thread, but zone means Ayton gets 8-10 offensive rebound putbacks. He just can't be f***ed with if you play zone. When he gets frisky, you need two guys to wrap him us and keep him off the offensive glass. Spiff how would you defend against this Arizona team? I keep thinkin...

• Couldn't have been Bowen. Bowen took a secret visit to Louisville May 29th. In that secret visit Bowen had secretly committed (it would be public a while later) and had enrolled to school during the visit. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2017/05/31/louisville-cardi...

10 players on the first team but only 5 on the second? Ayton certainly is a surprise on the all defensive team. He was constantly lost, and Cal really exposed that with their firs 16 points all coming in the paint. http://pac-12.com/article/2018/03/04/2017-18-pac-12-mens-basketball-all-conference-t...
