2017 Recruit Watch

[Joneslab]

The class is reminiscent of the one two years ago. A lot of these kids choosing strange destinations. Western Kentucky got the top-ranked center.

P.J. Washington is a Cat. Penny Hardaway delivers.

I know little about these guys but will learn. Can anyone give an example on who they resemble? Washington said Cal told him he was wanting to use him like Lyles.

Richards is a raw, super-athletic defender. But bigger and stronger than most of those types of guys generally are. Would be tremendous if Kentucky could get Bamba--maybe the best player in the class who will make it to campus--and let Richards play behind him.

Washington is really skilled but much more explosive than Lyles. I think the only fear about him is that he might be a tweener. But Cal loves players he can move in and out to multiple positions. Wenyen Gabriel is the guy who fits that mold on this coming team.

Richards and Washington = good start.

[Joneslab]

John Petty to Alabama.

[Matt Dillon]

Also, Collin Sexton.

[Joneslab]

Shai Alexander has committed to Kentucky as expected. Former Florida commit. Four-star guard ranked #53 in the class.

Quade Green might be the last potential commit of the early period.

^ So that's three in the fold for nest year. A center,forward and guard. I'm guessing Trae Young is the big catch for Cal this year. It seems like he has set hi sights on him for a while.

I'd rather have this guy than not have him at this point. 6'4" with a 6'10" wingspan??? Hopefully he can add 20 pounds of muscle before he gets here. I'm still not certain how many total we take in this class. Six seems like a no brainer, but seven seems a possibility depending who leaves in June. Humphries, Gabriel, Jones????????????

I doubt Humphries is going anywhere. Too early to say with Gabriel and Jones, but they're talented and they play for Cal, so it's possible.

KSR claims that "many believe it's a two-horse race between UK and [Syracuse]" for Lonnie Walker. Everything I've seen suggested Arizona is the leader. Anyone know anything different?

Walker cancelled his visit to Syracuse, so I think they're out.

Yeah, I'd heard that. So where do we stand against Arizona?
