Class of 2018 - General Discussion

[KCKUKFan]

I don't think Grimes comes to UK so I am leaving him out of this question.

If it turns out this way, which class would you take?

Zion, Bol, Quickley, and Johnson OR Barrett, Reddish, and Jones

Zion, Bol, Quickley, and Johnson. Jones seems very confident that this will be a five-man class when all is said is done, so Quentin Grimes is probably a very viable option.

Updated with current player rankings:

Zion (2), Bol (3), Quickley (8), and Johnson (14) OR Barrett (1), Reddish (4), and Jones(6)

Zion, Bol, Quickley, Johnson and Grimes. All day.

Question would be a whole lot easier to answer if we could tell what sort of player Bol Bol is going to be in college.

If he realizes his potential his first year then he might be the best overall player of the bunch. But if he's physically weak and/or if he keeps growing as some fear, you might not really have the "#3 player" but rather a project.

The type of player the term "upside" was invented for.

That is a tough one. Even if we get that class though I just hope we can bring back as much help for them as Duke likely will. They sign Barrett and they're reeeal good.

Crystal ball picks rolling in for Tyler Herro who is top 25 according to most services.

I was shocked when I saw a tweet yesterday that said he’d backed out of his commitment to Wisconsin. Take one look at that kid and tell me he wasn’t hatched in the same lab that created Dekker, Koenig, et al. Kid was made to play at WU.

He certainly was. I wonder if he backed out because some bigger schools were interested? But, it seems the idea of him coming to UK is picking up steam. He doesn't seem to have the athleticism to be a one and done but you never know. He seems to be a very smooth, old school type scorer with a good mid range game. Maybe Doron Lamb-esque.

[Joneslab]

Interesting turn of events with Herro.

Have no idea how good he is but if he decommitted from his homestate school it makes sense that he might be looking to move up the ladder.

[Joneslab]

Zion cut UCLA.

Also saw that Kansas was taking its entire staff to visit Quentin Grimes.

[Joneslab]

Williamson went on to throw in a wrench: he'll be visiting North Carolina.

Odd turn of events.

[Catsrock]

^^^I guess. But there had to be a few guys out there waiting for confirmation that UNC would NEVER be punished for the biggest violations in college history.

[Joneslab]

Kentucky will visit Quentin Grimes this week.

Evan Daniels predicts Bol Bol to Oregon.

Oregon picks up last 3 and 7 of last 8 picks in Crystal Ball
