What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

If he's not 6'10 he's missing it by a hair. I'd call him 6'9.75
He weighed on his visit at 193.
I don't know what the target weight is or whether is has been discussed yet, but Cal did tell him they were going to get him on a 4500 calorie per day diet and he would live in the weight room.
He's a bright kid, humble, and extreme work ethic.

As for small forwards, yeah, I think that's it.

Our targets are;

Gabriel (committed)
Sacha Killeya-Jones (committed)
Tai Wynyard (committed)
-----------
Fox (we feel almost certain)
Monk (we feel we will get him)
-----------
Bridges (MSU bound)
Bam (long shot - NC State)
Giles (long shot - Duke)
Simmons (I just don't think we want him)
Ayton (long shot to reclassify)
Bolden (long shot - best guess is 'Bama)
Alkins (I think we stopped recruiting him, sadly. NC State)
Adebayo (long shot - NC State)


My best guess at the class;
Fox
Monk
Gabriel
SKJ
Wynyard
and one of Giles, Bolden, Bam, Adebayo, or Ayton

We should return Humphries (which could be quite good in year two, I think), Matthews, Mulder, and probably Lee.

After losing Ulis, Briscoe, Murray, Poythress, and Skal

------------
So best guess line up for 2016/17 is;

Fox/Hawkins
Monk/Mulder
Gabriel/Matthews
Unknown recruit/Lee/Wynyard
SKJ/Humphries

I actually like this line up;

Fox
Monk
Mulder
Gabriel
SKJ

What in the heck has happened to NC State for them to start to get all these top recruits? Also got Maverick for this season. Some wealthy alum gotten very active?

They got T.J. Warren and Rodney Purvis in one class not long ago. BeeJay Anya had like 50 scholarship offers too...

Maybe theres something screwy going on under-the-table and im being naive, seems like a story of local kids going to a local college. And others have gravitated with them..
 
Yet another 6'10-6'11" Australian-Sudanese player on the radar.. Deng Gak('98 born) he's only been at Blair Academy(N.J.)for like a week, and major colleges are already checking in...

Dante,Ben Simmons and Isaac Humphries are going to play with a bunch of Australian-Sudanese bigs on the national team, for a long time..

Deng Gak was actually born in Egypt, he's got Sudanese roots(as you can tell by his name). Not long ago I posted Anas Osama Mahmoud was the best Egyptian prospect I've seen.

Gak should be able to give him a run for his $$$

Because of his name, and how its so similar to many other Sudanese (and now Australian-Sudanese) players. I'm not 100% sure If i've seen or posted about him before, I'm actually pretty sure I have - but can't say for certain... If Deng Gak has brothers who play, I've seen and read about him months ago when he was still in Australia. (I might have mentioned him on a list of up and coming Aussies - there was definetly a Gak or 2 on that list)
 
Don't you hate it when you get your Gak's and Dak's confused?!?

I actually didn't post about Deng Gak here. I did somewhere else though a big list of Aussie prospects 4 months ago.

His older brother Gorjak Dak has offers from major D-1's too, he's in the HS class of 2016 playing HS ball in Florida.

Deng Gak is in New Jersey, and seems to have elite programs interested already.
 
The only player on the Junior National team from the HS class of 2016 yet to be mentioned in this thread is 6'9½" 255lb Omari Spellman from Middletown, NY. He's headed to Villanova and rated 5-stars by most services.

Spellman is actually extremely skilled, he checks most of the things on the list you look for from fatter bigs.. He's more of a 6'9" C right now, but he's got time, his conditioning is obviously his biggest issue. 7'2" wingspan. He's certainly worth keeping an eye on.

I downloaded the book last night (UL escorts) and read it all.
Holy **** it's pure entertainment every paragraph.

"Breaking Cardinal Rules" :cool: How did a bunch of heauxs come up with the most perfect book title ever?!


They're gonna have to fire everyone right? I cant imagine Pitino can keep his job.. I haven't even seen half of the stuff, I got the gist of it though..

Pultizer-Prize winner Dan Kane may have helped them with the book title, considering he vetted and authored it.

I can't imagine anyone keeps their jobs. It's a mess. Alcohol, drugs, prostitution, impermissible benefits (duh), statutory rape, lack of institutional control, etc.

Katina was quoted as saying, "McGee would repeatedly need to, at night, "run to the ATM for more money" only to return some time later with stacks of hundreds wrapped in bank bands.
 
Toward the end, the hoes obviously started building their evidence. One example, Shay hit up Blakeney about a year later and on instagram with pic of herself and said, "hey, remember me? #embassy suites"

He said, "yea, wussup?"

No further communication. lol

Blakeney's dad is quoted as saying, when asked by one of the hoes whether Antonio was going to commit to UL, "It depends." And the hoe said, "and like that I knew what I needed to do."
 
LOL - Unreal... I will always be shocked by stuff like this, even though its a multi-billion dollar business and one of the oldest professions on earth. How could they be so dumb?!

What type of short-sighted perspective do you have to have, to do this type of ****?? I can't even fathom how this was justified when it was going on..

Part that gets me the most is these selected bunch of dummies, totally got gamed by these heauxs.., totally, thorough street dude's wouldn't have allowed pictures... this **** reeks of amateurism too, you'd think they would've had a better plan to hide this stuff...

Too $hort and a bunch of Pimps have gotta be laughing their asses off at this story. V. Stiviano who outed Donald Sterling too.

UL basketball gave a bunch of heauxs a platform to make the news for turning tricks,

What a bunch of dim-wits. Plus that **** is far from G(angsta), or whatever type of lifestyle that's glorified by the players involved.

Thing is their teenagers, the adults involved are 100x worse. Their the enablers in this story... which is atrocious.

Makes the Ohio State tattoo parlor scandal look like an episode of Sesame Street in comparsion
