I play ball with some people who claim to be close to our program. Definite grain of salt needed here.
Talked to them last night and here's what they are hearing
Again this was some talk between and after playing with some guys I know. They have usually been correct or close. They have been wrong too and this is 18 year old kids we are talking about
Potential lineup we talked about:
PG - SGA / Quickly
SG - Johnson / Herro / Baker
SF - Knox / Johnson
PF - PJ / Wenyan
C - Vanderbilt / Richards / SKJ
Talked to them last night and here's what they are hearing
- SGA is waiting for Knox because they want a title and LOVE being together on campus. True friendship developed there. This is why SGA delayed. Was never locked in his mind to go.
- Knox 95% coming back after Cal's pitch
- If SGA comes back, Quade is gone. He wants to go to Nova
- Diallo wants to go pro, but he is not hearing good things. Not 100% sure the staff wants him back due to Johnson coming in
- Really pushing Hagans to stay in 2019. Could be amazing class with he and Wiseman
- Staff is VERY confident about Wiseman
- PJ declared with plans of coming back. Wants to test process and get ideas what to work on - Wenyan, JV, Richards and more will probably do the same
- PJ is still devastated by the free throws
- Wenyan is ready to go pro, but knows he isn't ready
- Staff really believes they may only lose Quade and maybe Diallo - thinks we will be special
- Cal and staff took Duke getting the top 3 really hard and are more motivated than ever
- Cal is going to stop "pushing guys out the door" - big discussions in the department about this. Want to shed the one-and-done school label
- Staff believes Capel leaving Duke will push us back to #1
