We didn't make the cut to 5 for Cam Reddish

****. Him and Lonnie played on the same AAU team so I was hoping he'd give us a good look.

Probably didn't give him a big enough duffel bag

 

[casualcane]

In the top six for Luguentz Dort!

Top D.C. basketball recruits have University of Miami on their lists

Stuff that's mostly out there already

Show us in the top 10 for wing Jules Bernard, a top 40 nationally ranked player out of LA.

UCLA leads.

Made the final cut to five for Nassir Little

[casualcane]

Getting an official in Sept from Little should be good news for us considering he unofficially visited over the summer

 

[TallyCane]

I think we have a real shot for Little, unless the blue bloods blow him away.

 

[jhtheking]

UNC was apparently Little's dream school growing up so could be tough.

Didn't think we were in the running for 4 star combo guard Eric Ayala who is transferring to IMG this year but apparently we are.

There was talk he was going to reclass to 2017 but apparently that won't happen.

UNC was apparently Little's dream school growing up so could be tough.

True. Plus he's getting the dreaded crystal ball there.

Still. Carolina already has another top 100 SF commit, Rechon Black and are making runs at Zion Williamson and Jarrius Hamilton.

Im just curious as to how many scholarships we have available. Newton is leaving, and Bruce and Lonnie aren't 100% Lets get Dort and Little and make history. We need players to complement Lykes while we got him

That's just it, isn't it? I don't think we know how schollies we'll have because of Lonnie and Bruce. Newton is the only scholarship senior.

 

[tcgrad1014]

L said he's assuming Brown and IV are gone.

Jalen Carey will be here on an official on Aug 25

It's interesting how different it is from football recruiting. Your class is usually pretty set before a majority of the season has been played. So if we get 3 guys in, and Bruce and Lonnie don't go pro, would we have to cut two older guys?

I bet L has a pretty good idea of what's going to happen, but you never know for sure.

 

[Problem2]

I mean, I think it's pretty much a given that Bruce and Walker are gone unless something crazy happens. They're lottery picks

 

[casualcane]

My math says....

13 scholies available


Izudu SR
Lawrence SR

DJ JR
Miller JR
Waardenburg JR
Wilson JR
Huell JR (wildcard)

Gak SO
Lykes SO

Walk ons

Robinson SR
Herenton SO

So 8 or 9 on scholarship assuming that Brown and IV are gone with Huell in the mix to go.

Need to balance reloading, transfers and the loss of 2-3 more (depending on Dewan) after 2018.

Only changes would be Wilson and Waardenburg being Sophomores, Wilson will be sitting out and redshirting this year and Waardenburg enrolled last December and practiced but never played last year so will be a redshirt freshman this year.
