Once Coach L gets fired we should open up with more recruits and become more of a young team. Hopefully we retain the commits we do have.

https://247sports.com/Article/Four-star-Mac-Etienne-cuts-it-to-four-Illinois-Marquette-Miami-UCLA-154885184/ Miami: "Miami is a place I see a great fit at and I have a great relationship with the staff and with my family moving to Florida and one of my closest friends Bensley Joseph committed...

Didn't we beat Illinois last year? They're a better team than us overall but it would be surprising if he chose them over us. I would try to get him on campus when possible and the season this year with Brooks performing well should help as well.

I think I take Aidoo over Castro if we're purely comparing the two. Etienne is an instant impact possible 1-2 year league type of guy whereas the other two are more projects. Not feeling great about Castro coming here and honestly if we're strong in the running for Aidoo, he's a take over...

I was for adding Wade to the class but we have like 3 guards committed already who are all better. I think that ship has sailed. Etienne would be great though and we can get him if we continue to apply pressure.

I think if we start the season strong, it should be a good sell to some of the guys we're trying to get. Specifically Etienne.

Announcing on Friday, what are the chances it's us? Like both Etienne and Kepnang, but will gladly take Castro as a project. Looks like Gak was supposed to be for us. Definitely needs to add mass. I feel like he's almost not a take for us anymore, but who knows. I think he ends up choosing...

Wasn't too convinced about the kid but scouts/others seem to believe in his two way potential so I'll take it. More excited about Poplar in this class tbh as a scorer. Also realized that Bensley is ranked a good bit higher on ESPN, so he may be a steal as well.

As soon as UK offers he's gone. We have to hope he doesn't play well enough to get UK interest lol. No matter where the roots were recruiting wise, kids will flock to UK the second they get an offer. Duke maybe, but I'm more scared of UK. Him holding out this long is bad for us, as his stock...

Yep, we need a Brooks type player who's immediately eligible who can come in and be our big while rotating with whichever freshmen bigs we bring in. Big man depth is severely lacking after Brooks is gone this year.

The love he gets from scouts is huge. He fits into the mold of a Jaylen Brown type player, who as a Boston fan is exactly what teams will look to draft in the future. Highly switchable wing with a solid jumper is always gonna have draft appeal. Okoro as a poor jump shooter is getting looks in...

Larranaga really likes his 6'4"-6'5" SGs I guess. In the last two years, Harlond, McGusty, Poplar, and now possibly Jakai Robinson. Would like to see some more size, guys who are on the bigger end at forward. Earl is a good size at 6'6" and Cross is also nice. Would like to take a true big in...

Etienne is a large human. He's massive in the way that Steven Adams is, he's dunking the ball way too comfortably and still has open court speed. Need him to commit.

Dude's highlights are wild.

Haven't been on here too often but seeing interest from another 4 star is always a good thing. Not too impressed by the film but building the DMV connection is definitely important.

I think another thing to look at is the development that isn't seen because of the lack of camps this year due to Covid. A lot of these could be late bloomers so if the staff even thinks they have the ability to be an option B, while looking like an option C on film, then they should make a hard...

Finally got around to watching film of this kid, first video I saw he looked alright, nothing special. Very lanky and has upside as a stretch big but plays very hesitantly in the paint on offense, good shot blocker. Would be a very development if he went to a D1 program. Then I watched a more...

Another plan B/C kid. I really want to like some of these kids games, but this guy looks hugely developmental. Odd shooting form and very slight frame. Good defensive instincts I guess, but nothing standout from a skill standpoint or from a physical standpoint. Would stay on him to see how he...
