Any Jarrett Allen news/sightings?

Jerry Meyer switched his pick to Houston today ...FWIW.

Well.. that can't be good right after a visit to us.

Think Allen's best friend (pg)is either playing for Houston or committed to them. Meyer is reaching I'm sure.

Seems like a Dakari type player, I could be wrong.

Offensive game and explosiveness is way better then Dakari!

U of Houston has a basketball team?

Billy "Not the sharpest pencil in the box" Gillispie got whipped by them in 2007.

That didn't narrow it down much.

Who do they say gets him? Texas?

Unfortunately for Texas and the "unproven in a Power 5 Shaka Smart," the Horns will be tasked with battling the likes of recruiting extraordinaire John Calipari and powerhouse Kentucky. As of now, 247Sports Crystal Ball heavily favors the Wildcats hopes of luring Allen to Lexington.

Love to have Allen, but as long as we get Fox and Monk, I am good.

We are fine with Fox, Monk, Gabriel, and Killeya-Jones joining Humphries, Matthews, Willis, Wynyard, Mulder, Hawkins, and Floreal. That's a pretty good roster.

Fox and Monk would be a nasty backcourt. The frontcourt has length and athleticism. Humphries could become a dominant big man.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone emerges this Spring that we haven't heard about yet or that we haven't been involved with a la Murray/Humphries. Someone out of the blue to round out the roster.

Cal has a way of finding the talent.

UK will be more than fine if Humphries is the starting center next season. He's not gonna rock many rims, but he's gonna be so skilled and fluid and be able to stretch the floor that he'll be a matchup problem.

He needs to work on his passing. He also has to play tough around the rim and post up more. Cal won't let his bigs shoot around all over the place, he won't play much if he doesn't post up. i think someone on the staff can teach him how to play defense, the good thing is he'll have a year to learn.

And we'll have alot of experience back next season to go with that class. Mulder, Humphries, Wynyard, Willis, Mathews, Hawkins are pretty much locks to return. I think Ulis and Lee probably come back. One of them could go pro, but I don't see both of them going. Poy is a big mystery for next season, but i'd say he probably goes. Murray and Skal are gonzo obviously, Briscoe probably is too, but it wouldn't surprise me if he returned. At minimum, we'll have 7 guys back who can contribute.

Poy isn't a big mystery. It's pretty much a solid bet he's not here next year.
