Which recruit do you most want?

Thomas - rebounding and aggressiveness- from the little I've seen of him on tape.

Not saying much, but he'd also be our best inside scorer. 

Thomas
Mason
Cunningham
Horford

Not Marlon Jones

Marlon Jones. Think he can be INCREDIBLE for us! 

I dont think Cunningham looks that good in his tape. If he didn't have a top 100 next to him we would look at him and ask why are we recruiting him.

Give me Thomas

Cunningham has offers from schools like Indiana.  He dropped 36 point and 22rebounds in a game in front of Crean this season in Chicago public league.  Some reason, I doubt it is the case.

I have three that I want, in this order.
Horford, Thomas, then Cunningham.

I couldn`t care about the rest.

Well put..tough to disagree with this.  Horford will bring a ton of experience and a kid that can play both the four and five without being pushed around.  Our bigs looked like they were on ice skates the last three years.

And probably very hungry...13 minutes on a final 4 team...pressure of his family's accomplishments...this kid wants an opportunity and he knows he isn't getting it at Michigan

I didn't consider Horford in this equation because he's a transfer, but yes, Horford first.  Cunningham second, Thomas third.  Horford would push Obekpa and allow delarosa to develop slowly.  With the guards we have and some guys mentioned, we could be arguably better than last season.  A lot needs to fall into place though.   If Lavs pulls it off, I give him big credit.

Why would Horford come to sju to compete with Obekpa?   
I would be excited to grab him too, but this rumor was mentioned in the same news as Newbill.   So I have my doubts.

Horford imo would be ahead of Obekpa at the 5.  He's a much more well rounded player with actual offense and is a bit bigger as well.  Staff probably moved on already from Obekpa when he got his papers.  As of now, no idea.  I'd take Horford regardless.

Myles Turner

Myles Turner

He's only looking at big time programs like Iona.  Doubt that we have a shot at him

 Lavin and staff took a lot of heat this year for recruiting or perceived  lack there of... Shit, even I was getting a bit perplexed myself,  to the point where Fratto blocked me from twitter as well..

Well, here we are again and it looks like a lot is going on with the recruiting front..

It's like we never learn our lessons... Lavin and his staff do a lot of things that deserve criticism...however, imo, recruiting isn't one.  We always freak out way too early in the recruiting season and then he ends up landing quality players...

 He's going to do the same now... If Obekpa returns, I think this team has a very good chance of being successful.. Call me a kool-aide drinker or whatever the buzz word is this week.... Doesn't matter.

FTR- i definitely see that some posters hatred for Lavin will lead to the inevitable 'rooting against the team for the overall good of the program' hogwash... What a load of crap that is..  If that is your MO... just leave now. 


 Brisco is going to pop for STJ....

Put it back in your pants Boo, you're getting a little too excited!
We're recruiting jucos, transfers, and everyone else on the island of misfit-ballers.    They could be meaningful contributors, but why are we picking from what's left at the bottom of the barrel?   



With that said, Briscoe/Diallo would be HUGE.   This board, myself included, would become hysterical.   Felipe/zendon type hype would ensue.

  What is wrong with getting excited? Things aren't nearly as gloomy as you make them out to be, assuming Obekpa comes back..  We lost Sampson...ok?  We have a giant space eater( DeLa Rosa) and if this kid Thomas can get the ball off the glass, then we will be fine..  The backcourt is going to be phenomenal..

 The production from the backcourt will be much better overall because Jordan will be that much better.  We won';t have Sampson shooting the ball 15 times from 18 feet out.  Sampson's rebounding can be made up.

 I've always liked Christian Jones...Lets hope a year off gets the fire lit under his ass..
