Quade been recruiting Bamba hard, I think Knox goes Duke though.

quade has the in of being on the PSA cardinals with bamba, but there is a logjam in the post at UK. Adebayo may not leave, humphries may still stay. Even if they leave, there's sacha killeya-jones, tai wynyard, wenyen gabriel, and 2 newcomers in pj washington and nick richards. The most duke will have for him to compete with is carter, maybe bolden, and that's it. vrankovic and delaurier won't supplant him. It makes alot of sense for bamba to go to duke as well from the academic perspective given his personality and family background/emphasis on education. If we can land duval as a legit PG that makes it even better for him. Grayson was the only one who knew how to feed the post or involve our big men this past year, but he's more suited to playing SG. A true PG would do wonders for duke, especially our big men. Knox will go to duke if he knows what's good for him with our wing 3/4 success the last 10 years.

Depends if Luke Kennard leaves. Justin Jackson is definitely leaving, so if Luke stays, Knox choosing UNC.

kennard leaving or staying has absolutely zero bearing on whether knox comes. tatum was more than effective with kennard there. knox would have similar role as jayson whether or not kennard stays.

Quade been after him too, but I don't really see Knox going to Kentucky.



another logjam here. wenyen gabriel, jarred vanderbilt, pj washington. Would make more sense for him to go to UNC or Fla State, but as above, I think duke lands him. this tweet means nothing; it makes zero sense for him to go to UK.

Isaiah Washington, Jalek Felton, Scruggs or Matt Coleman should have been in over Trae.

There's something about the high schoolers these days that don't have me checking for them like I did up till like 2014

They kind just pass and run at the basket I don't be seeing these nikkas do enough moves it's like they'll do any combo of a cross over drive or cross step back shoot
Honestly if it's not in that players skill set their high school coach aint gonna teach em. These players all about the run and gun now. All finnese no skill. I applaud college coaches for grooming talent and athleticism into something

Cal is great at developing that aspect of his recruits, but you're right. The international dudes got that covered now.

Yep. The best I've seen in this class is Jacob Epperson on La Lumiere, and even then he was from Australia originally.
Dudes don't even have a basic jump hook anymore. :francis:
