Re: 2015 Recruiting Thread

Thus answering the question as to why my posts on the matter were laced with the "whatever" vibe.

I don't even know why I follow basketball recruiting.

Because we want to see the future.

Kenny Williams committed to UNC, really needed this for next year. Is said to be one of the best shooters of the class so we'll see just how good he is from behind the arc.

Huge, huge win for Gonzaga. NWG is the type of player who can run an offense and will learn a lot from sitting out a year and seeing a great system run. If they can pull off Johnathan Williams, 2016-2017 could be saved.

Swanigan has decided to explore other schools, and will decommit from Michigan St. Ouch.

Yep, that's a huge bummer. But these things happen all the time. Even Izzo was surprised when we "got" him, so not a total blind-siding. C'est la vie....

Re: 2015 Recruiting Thread

Would love Kentucky to get Swanigan, but don't even think they have a chance. Purdue seems to be the favorite, no offense Purdue fans, but I don't get it. Cal may have some leeway too, no not that Cal, the Cal stealing all the blue chips from this class. Rabb, Brown, and Swanigan would be quite the haul, and they might start building a statue of Cuonzo Martin.

I have a weird feeling he will end up at Cal. No reason to go to Purdue, where the likely ending is a high NCAA seed and a second-round exit. Going to Cal-Berk allows him and Rabb to basically play 30 minutes a game if they are capable, while having Brown and a stacked back-court to go along with it. Cal-Berk is also an incredible school with incredible weather. Meanwhile, at UK, there's probably even more uncertainty about his playing time and the team's success. Plus the chance that if he stays multiple years Calipari will bring in top-10 big men to further reduce his minutes.

Re: 2015 Recruiting Thread

Also, anyone have any clue where Lovett will end up? I think Kansas could actually be a good fit with little back-court depth after Mason and Selden besides Graham. I love his game, slippery as hell.
