Fwiw, Roberts thinks we wind up w/ Quickley, Shittu and one of Zion/Barrett/Johnson

Honestly don't like our chances with Barrett, Duke has always got the top wings and Oregon got the Canada pipeline. Duke is killing it right now, but I have confidence in cal.

The two reasons you listed are interesting to me. On one hand, historically Duke has had the best wings (read SF or PF), but UK loaded up on them this year, including a guy they took from Duke. And why would Oregon have a better pipeline to Canada than the school that has signed 3 Canadians in the last 4 years, all of which were top rated players from there?
 
Also,
If by chance it "doesn't happen" it's absolutely not because "shittu and RJ don't like each other and won't play together " that's just absurd and ridiculous... Trying to state something like
That as fact when it's literally just your (uniformed) opinion.

I get why you want it to be false but unfortunately, its true.

The good thing about science (facts, in this case) is that its true whether or not you believe in it - DGT

Care to share why you are so sure?

Just for clarification, Duke absolutely would've taken knox and that was a miss. However, important to note that the Bagley stuff had started to gain momentum behind the scenes and that played a big role in Knox's decision.
From a business standpoint the Knox's ultimately decided that their son had a better chance of being featured at uk and they were correct in that assessment

Amazing how easy it is to go on message boards and throw things around
 
We will not get Barrett, Duke or Oregon. Very good chance of getting shittu, Zion is a lock.

I would be fine with this.

G Green
G Quickley
F Williamson
F Gabriel, Washington, Vanderbilt, or Richards
F Shittu

That would be a killer lineup. Williamson gives us the scoring stud we need. Green and Quickley are pass first players that can knock down the open jumper. That is exactly what a player like Williamson needs around him. Shittu is a good compliment to Williamson as well.

I feel pretty confident that one of the four guys I mentioned will return. Not everyone is going to get minutes. Also, if Cal thought he was losing everyone, he would have cast a wider net this summer. He has been very selective. He has only offered one post player (Bol) that I know of. He has basically shunned guys like Reid and Jordan Brown and hasn't gone hard after Moses Brown. He is only now starting to turn up the heat for Shittu. Either the Big Men crop really, really sucks or he expects a few guys back that most think will leave (it's probably a little of both situations).

The issue is that if Barrett goes to Duke, we are officially losing the arms race. It's one thing to miss on a recruit. It's an entirely different thing to lose nearly every top 10 recruiting battle to the same school.

LOL... Our guys Cal and everyone involved if you know what I mean, WILL NOT let that happen.
 
I think the trend is showing the NCAA is loosening its eligibility rules out of high school overall. Basically obtain a passing ACT/SAT score and have attended high school.

Also he probably didn't want to play four years of college basketball.
 
I don't know Shittu so I have no idea where he is headed. Most analysts describe him as tough and some even go as far as describing his game as nasty. Not a single analyst has ever called Shiitu soft
My Shiitu is usually soft, if not, a stool softener usually helps.

You full of Shiitu Mr. Bush butt. You know nothing, you just blowing smoke and other nasty things. I have an uncle that has a best friend that lives in Sc. Best friend has a best friend he met at the bar last week that told him that his cousin's sister's husband attends high school with a midget that knows one of Williamson's best friend's. The midget told him that he thinks Williamson will go to Kentucky because he has a friend that knows someone that attends UK and told him they like it. See I have good inside information as well. You all crazy, please keep posting so I can keep laughing at you brother son. My name is Yee Haw Chang Poo milk cow country boy Clooney.

Cal doing his best to not over-recruit current players..Self and K could learn a few things.

I'm sorry. This could easily, easily be true.
