Whats your guess as to what happens with the final 2016 scholarship?? I'm still hoping the answer is Jarrett Allen, or Omer Yurtseven.. Or do they have another trick up their sleeves??

I'm expecting Gabriel and Jonathan Isaac to both perform better than expected tbh.

I think we are 50/50 for Bolden.
I see no chance at Allen (TX lock).
Omer is an outside chance.

I wonder if Michael Porter Jr's pending decision to go play for his godfather(Lorenzo Romar) at Washington will be affected by Ben Simmons unceremonious season playing at LSU under his godfather, associate Headcoach David Patrick.

Most believe he plays for Romar.. and UK likes their chances.

Shaka Smart is worth every penny they're paying him if they land Allen. Their other bigman recruit in 2016, James Banks is woefully underrated by the services and i'd say an NBA talent, they'll both show well next to each other. One of my favorite 4-star guards in 2015 Eric Davis had a very strong freshman season for the longhorns, they'll be a force next year and an obvious top-25 team.

I'm not expecting Bolden to go to UK, and i'm all-in hoping they land Yertsuven(and that he's actually eligible), also Im guessing the chances Ayton could reclassify up to 2016 are now 0%



It'd be a much jucier media storyline, if Porter shuns his godfather to play with his best bud Trae Young IMO.

The guard UW has committed in 2017, Daejon Davis has NBA potential though. They have a chance at churning outa good amount of NBA players in these next few drafts.

There is smoke that Trae, Porter, and Petty all want to play together and that's what leads UK to believe they've got a great shot at all three.
 
We should be to good (maybe OKC will stink next year :D, but Luka Doncic just had a great game as a 17 year old in Euroleague game against OLY. I think he will probably end up being top 5. 6;7" point guard. Think he will be better than Exum.
 
Y'all see Danilo Gallinari's brother, Frederico, is now in the class of 2017??

He's like 6'7"-6'8"

Crazy in what way? So many studs?

To try and quantify all that talent, and how it got that way, that fast, then to try and put it into a list at this point in time is just an absurd notion.


Some of those kids have world-beater potential... People will be very guarded about this comparison moving forward but Isaac Bonga looks like a young Magic Johnson.

Not to overly generalize, but the '17 draft has unreal guards and weak with bigs... and the opposite being true for '18.

Mmk, thanks, haven't got around to watching much of these guys. Have some favorites for '17 (Smith/Tatum/Giles), but nobody had jumped out to me in '18. Will have to check out the bigs some more :)
