OK, so there's Dennis Smith, Simmons, Monk, Alkins, Fultz, and Bridges (more of a 3 but still a wing) that we have a legit chance at, even though Smith seems unlikely.

Just curious everyone's opinions of your order of preference. Mine would probably go Smith, Monk, Bridges, Simmons, Fultz, Alkins. But if what Jerry Meyer says is true about how fast Fultz is improving, he could be rising.

That's how good this class is though. If we get ANY 2 of the six I'll be happy as a fly on a turd.
 
1. Monk
2. Smith
3. Alkins
4. Simmons
5. Fultz

(I left Bridges off the list because I don't think he's as relevant to the grouping as the others - SF)
 
1. Smith- pure stud, can't pass on his kind of talent. We aren't getting him.
2. Monk- stealing another from Arky would be great.
3. Bridges- can play at the 3 or 4, gives us versatility.
4. Alkins- good combo of size and skill on the wing.
5. Simmons- love his size.
6. Fultz- don't know much about him, sounds like he is a rising star.

I think if one of them is Bridges, we can fit 3 on our squad.

Best combo we could hope for, IMHO, is Monk at the 2, Alkins at the 3, and Bridges at the 4. All three can be on the floor together.

If Ulis leaves, then we could end up with 4 of them and play one of them at the 1 spot.
 
The only real one I know is Monk, and I've wanted him for over a year now.

Although hearing Fultz is playing as good, if not better, this summer makes me kinda step back a little on the Monk train.

Monk just sounds like the superstar 2/3 we've been lacking lately.
 
Alkins
Smith
Monk
Fultz
Simmons

Who I think we will get...

Alkins
Fultz
Simmons
and maybe Monk if we can pry him away from Arkansas

I believe Alkins is extremely underrated. Expect him to take a giant leap in the ratings next time they are updated. If I could only choose one from the list, he would be the one I would choose for sure.

I'd love to get Jackson. 6'6/6'7" slasher who scores from everywhere. A potential lock-down defender and someone who would provide UK with a skillset we haven't seen since Derek Anderson.

I think it's critical that UK lands one of Smith, Jackson, Monk, or Fultz. All four are absolute studs. Getting two of that group would put UK right back in the Final Four conversation.
 
I cant decide which group I want out of all these guys. I change my mind every day pretty much lol. But today I'm gonna say I hope Ulis, Mulder, Mathews, Wynyard, and Lee come back. And then we get Monk, Fultz, Bridges, and Ayton.

Ulis
Monk
Bridges
Lee
Ayton

Bench- Mulder, Mathews, Fultz, Wynyard.

That would be perfect.

We would have enough depth with just Fultz or Monk (or Alkins would work as well), but we can be greedy and wish for both.

I like Bridges as our 3 man because he can play the 4 spot as well.

I'm starting to absolutely love Miles Bridges.
