Evan Daniels talks about Smith, Fox, SKJ etc.

[jrpross]

Much is the same stuff we've been hearing but hadn't seen this posted. Also talks about Trae Young. Says SKJ will probably commit somewhere in the next 2 months.

De'Aaron Fox is at the top of my wish list, he and Monk would give Wall/Bledsoe a run for most athletic backcourt. I think SKJ probably dreamed of going to UNC, but I really feel like he will make the business decision to go to UK and develop with other really good players. He is not a surefire NBA prospect at this point, though his stock has been steadily rising and I'd say it's highly probable he ends up in the league wherever he goes. I think he wants to maximize his potential, leave nothing to chance, and he just has "Calipari big" written all over him. Calipari isn't telling SKJ how he will be used in the system, he can just rattle off a list of names and really show him.

Good to hear Daniels say UK is at the top of SKJ's list, perhaps the leader.

Fox has the best mixtape I have seen since Wall. My dream class is
Fox
Monk
Bridges
SKJ
Maker
Adebayo
I know that is 6 (plus Winyard and Humphries). That will keep us in the hunt even if Giles goes to Duke with Tatum. BTW, UNC is really hurting unless the academic scandal is miraculously ignored by the NCAA.

Is Bridges a decent shooter?

 

[Macy666]

Yes. He improved his shooting a lot as the summer went on. Not a great shooter but solid. That's one of the areas he's improved the most. He shot the 3 ball better than Tatum did this summer. He's sounds a lot like Justise Winslow. Call me crazy but I like him more than Tatum. Bossi thought he had the best summer of anybody in the class.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

what are our chances with Bridges looking like? This is the first recruiting class in 15 years that I havent followed like a want to be expert lol.

UK or Michigan State- toss up at this point.

 

[bucsrule8872]

I would like to see this team suit up for us:

G Fox/Hawkins
G Monk/Mulder/Floreal
F Bridges/Matthews
F Gabriel/Wynyard/Willis
C Ayton/Humphries

A great mix of size, shooting, depth, athleticism, and experience.

 

[Macy666]

Most recruiting guys think we're the heavy favorite. At one time it appeared to be a toss up. Doesn't mean it's a done deal, but we're in a great position for him.

Honestly, I think I may agree. Meyer has Bridges higher on his rankings and after the summer he's had, he may be close in the others the next time they update.

 

[bucsrule8872]

We want Bridges badly.

6'7, 230 lbs. athletic wing player that can shoot from range (45%).

Thats a guy with MKG's body and athleticism that shoots like Lamb.

Yes, please!

Am I crazy ( and I could very well be wrong ) but isn't Humphries suppose to reclassify to be in this year's class, not his original class like everyone in this thread is assuming? Like I said, I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive that Cals recruitment of him hinges on him reclassifying to get ahead and have an extra year to practice and learn the system.

Yes.

Humphries is expected to enroll this Fall and play this coming season.
