Talk to me about it. I don't get too heavily into prospects until they commit. What do we have coming?
Just got an ASU transfer that was a top 40-50 recruit from last year. Looks like Self wants a lot of shooting on next years team.
If Lovett and Ponds aren't on their A games, we can't beat anybody.
So Hamidou Diallo decided to go to Kentucky.
Uconn put all their eggs in the Diallo basket. Huge blow.

If you missed the New Mexico/Nevada game that just ended. I STRONGLY ADVICE FOR YOU TO CATCH THE REPLAY FROM THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF THE SECOND HALF TO THE END OF OVERTIME 
Nevada was down by 12 with a minute left only to force the game to overtime by NM choking at the line and the Wolfpack making crazy three point shots.
Then they hit a three down by two with seconds left in the game to win it in OT

Ollie fell off so fast.So Hamidou Diallo decided to go to Kentucky.
They should be dominating those teams they play in the AAC.

There's a good chance that we will never see Diallo in a Kentucky uniform
They basically developed him too but the talent was there. Had a huge growth spurt and was a guard before. Explains why he can pass so good. These NBA draft guys have Adebayo and Bolden over Patton and I think Patton is better than them.
Idk what happened to Yakwe. Tariq Owens playing well had Yankuba Sima so scared he up and transferred out. Lovett, Ponds, Ahmed and Owens the only ones teams worry about. I hear St. John's are a lock for some 2018 kids already though.

Tubby Smith. Pitino left UK to coach the Celtics, and Tubby inherited his team. In his first year, UK wins the national championship. I think personally the man had a good coaching tenure, but his recruiting was subpar and Kentucky didn't reach another Final Four in his watch.
Kevin Ollie. HOF Calhoun leaves UConn due to his health and age, and Ollie inherited his team. The first time he's in the tourney, UConn wins the national championship. Would you believe as a die hard UConn fan, I wasn't sold on Ollie? He is a great man, African-American, God fearing, nothing but quotes, but he inherited Calhoun's team. Let's see what he does with his players. Fast forward, and look at what happens. What is the point of saying ha I told you so, when your program looks like shyt? This is depressing.
Not landing Diallo, who've spoken to plenty of times in person, might have been a wake up call for me. Ollie is incapable of landing an elite player, and you actually have fans thinking now he could land Bamba, a kid ranked higher than Diallo. They never learn.

Had to get that off my chest.
@SJUGrad13, I know you've loving that boy Shamorie. That kid is the truth, and I've saying that for years scouting him. No Cuse offer, UConn who offers everybody didn't offer him, just St Johns, Providence, Creigton etc. The Big East schools in general. Now he might end up being one and done. Props.
How is Lovett looking? He was hurt right?

when the hell will allonzo trier be back? and cunliffe is a huge get for kansas for next season. 3 point shooter with athleticism on the wing who could be an upgrade over svi. I dont' think hurley was utilizing him properly at ASU. Actually thought he could be a sleept OAD type talent. He definitely has the physical profile for a SG and an NBA skill with the shooting.
