Following Potential 2021 Draftees

Ben Gregg who was a '21 Gonzaga commit has graduated early and will join the #1 ranked Bulldogs this season once he clears health protocols.

he's like 6'9" maybe 6'10 and a stretch 4 type of player... who knows how much burn he could get their frontcourt is obviously stacked... definitely a player worth keeping and eye on and mentioning his eligibility tho.

Player who was a guard and went on a big growth spurt. Good shooter.
 
I think he's legit. Obviously needs to keep adding strength but he's got solid passing instincts. I first saw him at Western Kentucky and thought he looked like he's got a chance. One of those sleepers from north of the border.

I dont think this is his year but we'll see if he keeps putting up big stats --- Obviously Nebraska has it's best recruit incomming in many years in Bryce McGowans for '21 so I'd imagine Blanton will get a really nice opporunity to showcase infront of lots of scouts.
Wow I'm impressed with the knowledge of husker hoops and the recruiting class. McGowans is gonna be a stud no doubt, we also got Wilhelm Breidenbach 7 footer out of Mater Dai in California. Rivals150 kid, I've seen him in draft projections down the road also.
I live in Nebraska now and I've checked out Hunter Sallis a couple times, dude is a hooper no doubt, but honestly I think McGowans is just as talented if not more. Sallis is the number 1 ranked PG in the country and McGowans is more of a 2 not a PG. You think Sallis is a one and done next year? How long do you think McGowans sticks around?
 
Outside the top tier of this draft, there are some strong 2-guards, including a sophomore from Louisville David Johnson. Here are some of his freshman highlights. He'd be a nice complement playing next to Mitchell in the backcourt. He can also play on the ball at the 1, where he's got enough size and toughness to get into the paint.

I'm only starting to watch some of these guys, but I'm impressed with how quick and fluid Bouknight from UConn is. His speed and fluidity are comparable to Clarkson.


They havent played since the 3rd and are supposed to have a showdown on national tv vs #9 creighton td... Bouknight has a knack for jumping passing lanes like Clarkson too! Clarkson at this stage was much more of a combo guard type tho where Bouknight is more like a pure sg.


that win they have over USC is a quality resume-builder for sure. Veddy interested to see what happens when their season gets back on track
 
Bouknight finished with 37... No help really though the pg RJ Cole who was a highly ranked juco player had a dud of a game shooting the ball..


This was not a pretty win at all for Creighton though... Awful shooting performance and their bench didnt really show up which is highly unusual.

ESPN showing Bouknight got 40. Huge game for him.

Edit: Yeah, he's out of our range now. Kid's a star.

oh he hit a meaningless 3 with 1 second to go.. i turned the game off before that.. uconns coach dan hurley kinda threw this game imo... shoulda played whaley and/or adema sanogo more... instead he went with smaller skill players who didnt bring much skill to the table and missed their shots --- the battle of the boards was handed away in the process..

still a great game for bouknight though... and yeah he's out of range he's a possible lotto guy lookin like definite top20.
