Seems odd to do an official visit in the off season. Better to come during the red/blue along with a football game....unless you know you are going to committ :)

RJ Barrett is going to be a monster in college. He basically singlehandedly took down the US team this summer.

With the impending Quinerly announcement I'm inclined to agree with you.

I'd be cool with letting Dotson and Grimes go to KU if we can nab Williams and Quinerly. That's called a full house.

The opposite, two 5*s PGs (but I guess Brandon Williams lost his 5* after his injury).

Nah, just stealing the kid's shine before his announcement isn't a good look. I'm fine with Dotson's dad telling him that, but you couldn't wait 5 hours to let the kid have his moment and then report that?

Damn, this kid has a sick feel for the game. Although maybe it's easier when you are playing with a guy (#3) who is at least 38 years old.

Just off the top of your head, is anyone a better recruiter than Sean Miller? Calipari maybe but I can't think of many I would say are his equal or better. Dude is nails

Yep.

Add a transfer to the mix though is my guess. The whole starting lineup, Denny, and Pinder are all gone after this year, gonna need an extra guy or 2 for depth.

Definitely going to need more, i would say we have 9 scholarship players now:
1 Brandon Williams 6'1" 165 Fr
1 Jhavon Quinerly 6'0" 170 Fr
1/2 Alex Barcello 6'2 190 So
2/3 Dylan Smith 6'5" 200 Rs Jr
2/3 Brandon Randolph 6'6"180 So
3/4 Emmanuel Akot 6'7" 190 S0
4/3 Ira Lee 6'7" 235 So
4 Shareef O'Neil 6'9"200 Fr
5 Chase Jeter 6'10 240 RsJr

and Akot may not be a lock if he pushes his way into time this year.

Akot is most certainly our 6th man this year, but I'd bet hard money he stays another year and goes in high lotto in a much weaker draft in 2019. Either way yeah we add a wing, hopefully (likely) Bol, and I'd add a sit a year transfer (maybe 2). After you laid out the entire lineup we actually have great coverage at every position with just 11 active players, we probably won't need another active guy. I could see the possibility of another guy who you take in and redshirt (maybe Sam Froling), but that's it.

Bol and liddel would fill this team out nicely. A Center transfer/redshirt makes a lot of sense just in case Jeter blows up and jumps

Agreed. Who is more likely? Just seems like Liddell is more signable.

Don't know at the moment, still real early for Little. I'm not sure where we stand with Liddell at the moment either. I do know however that Little is absolutely the priority at the wing spot for us at the moment as he should be. We'll see what happens. At the moment I'd bet it's between us and UNC for Little.

Williams and Quinerly is going to be a great combo. Throw in Randolph and Akot on the wing and it's just another year of talent.

If Akot stays, we have a good passer to play forward and can drop Williams and Quinerly together in the backcourt. That's three excellent distributors to get the ball flowing. If we played small with Randolph and O'Neal added to that mix, that's 5 athletic guys who can shoot the 3, are unselfish and are still fairly long.

Or play conventional. If we can get Bol, there's your rim protector to anchor the D and a guy who can also shoot. Yes, it's young, but the lineup should have incredible flexibility and versatility.

Why not get real greedy and go get Barrett or Reddish instead. I know Reddish is a long shot but we have pulled guys from that area before (RHJ) as it's Miller fam stomping grounds and Barrett did say we are recruiting him the hardest.

Could u imagine a frosh class of

Bol
Barrett
Q
Bwill
Oneal


Freaking Shaqs kid may be our lowest rated guy lol.
