2016 Recruiting

If Briscoe goes OAD with Ulis I doubt Fox will be scared of his chances of doing the same thing just because Tyler stays.

difference is briscoe is likely to be a starter along side ulis. if ulis comes back and we get more wing guys like monk....you really think fox, fultz, simmons want to come off the bench? they might...i just dont know. and doubt it

Yeah but if Ulis stays and we get Monk and Fultz then we're gonna be pretty crowded in the backcourt . If we didn't get Bridges then yeah it'd be great because we could just roll with 3 guards again. I guess it all depends on who commits first between some of these guards and Bridges.

Monk
Fultz
Bridges
Ayton
Killeya Jones

I love Fox and Alkins both, but I think we're definitely getting Fultz. If we get one of those two its prolly because we don't get Monk or because Ulis leaves. Now I gotta go to sleep. I'll change my mind on who I hope we get by the time I get off work tomorrow LOL.

So you hope for UK to sign a five man class, but for the past couple of weeks you've been worrying about UK not having enough scholarships for front court players next year?

Skal, Murray, Poy, and Lee are all pretty much almost guaranteed to be gone. That's already four available scholarships right there. Again, having enough room for front court players is not going to be a problem next year.

If Ulis is back then his draft status wasn't as high as he hoped. Not sure Fox is scared of competing and maybe (I know it is taboo around here) he starts over Tyler? Highly unlikely, but Cal has done it before.

I would love to see Marcus make enough huge strides in his game to get drafted.

Highly unlikely for sure.

You can bet on us signing a 5 man class IMO. To me the locks are Murray, Briscoe, Poythress and Skal. Then Ulis and Lee will all depend. I could see Ulis deciding either way. To go or come back. Lee should be really good defensively and score off lobs and offensive rebounds. I think he'd be a mid 2nd rounder if he leaves, maybe early 2nd depending on how good he looks. Then who knows Mathews may look good enough that he decides to leave too. Who thought Booker would go this time last year? But yeah dude I'm definitely feeling 2 bigs not including Wynyard, and probably Bridges at SF, then 2 guards out of Monk, Fultz, Alkins and Fox. 3 if somehow we don't get Bridges. But what I was stressing about was our frontcourt being crowded.

I fill same way about Lee, this is his year to turn on.

 

[BostonCat2001]

maybe....he has to learn a go to post move though. cant all be lobs and tip dunks. if he want serious playing time and wants to get to the next level....he is going to have to be able to do something in the post. his FT shooting is really brutal too.

We have heard nothing about Lee this summer, makes you wonder just how hard he is working. I hope he has been working on post moves and his f/t shots. I would love to see him come on strong this year. If he could just improve his jump shot it would do wonders for him.
