If I told you we get any 2 of those 4 I think everyone would be pretty pretty pleased.

No doubt, but would Obekpa and one of the other 3 be better for our team vs. 2 players that did not include Obekpa?  I don't know the answer.

 Absolutely.  Lavin says he's signing 5 though.  Who do the recruit savvy folks here think the other 3 guys are?  Hopefully he gets 3 of 4?  Is that a possibility?  Are we counting Branch as one of the 5? 

i think sampson is the key guy. he was the recruit I was most excited about from last year's class (harkless has already proven me wrong). when i saw him at IS8 he was monster. first two possessions of the game he knocked down back to back 18 foot jumpers. for a guy his size he has amazing ability, he can do everything on the court. his rebounding length and athleticism is exactly what we need.

him and either gathers and obekpa and I would be ecstatic

Still want a PG with one of those rides.

I dissagree, to many great PGs we are in the mix for in 13,and w the addition of Branch,im happy w our PG situation for next year.Could use another shooter. Like Moose said and I said previously, I d be very happy getting 2 or the above ranked bigs.

Don't forget that there are always very good players available late via transfer or after the coaching carousel starts to move.  Lavin will be a great position at that point, because most schools simply won't have any scholarships left in April and May.

It would be incredible to pickup a graduating senior center that would be eligible to play all of next season.  I'd imagine that most of the country is on notice with our five starting freshman and complete lack of depth and size.  No doubt an attractive destination for a kid with one year to play to just walk in an get 30 mpg for a surefire high-major tournament team.

Exactly.  I think we could have 3-4 more wins if we had Ashaolu.  Then again, it would have come at the expense of some minutes of the freshmen.
