UK's class of 2018 could come together quickly... Who are going to be our bigs in our 2018 class?

[TopCatCal]

If we don't get Bol Bol. Where are we going to get some bigs 6'9" and bigger in our 2018 class? I really wish Cal would offer & sign 7'0" Moses Brown. He's a 5-star recruit that very much has a strong interest in UK. Plus how awesome would it be to take him from UofL?

There's a glaring lack of high-quality bigs in the next class. Best plan of action is to stand pat. Reply on improved returnees SKJ and Wynyard. Then go hard after Wiseman in the next class.

I believe Shittu will be the only big Cal offers.

Shittu or bust

Whoever Cal decides to offer and take should feel good about the offer from Cal. I don't know how Cal feels about Moses, but to be rated that high and stand 7'0, its hard to figure out why Cal won't make this kid his big for the recruiting class and move on to the next class.

I like that we'll know where some of these top recruits land in November. Barrett, Reddish, Williamson, and I believe Quickly off the top of my head. If we were to only land Quickly and miss out on the others, it'd be much better to know 6 months ahead of time to game plan.

Which recruits will wait until the spring signing period?

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I can't imagine ALL of Gabriel/PJ/Richards are gone next year. Have to imagine one or maybe even two come back. Richards seems like he might be a bit raw and could need a few years.

Richards will be a 1st rounder next year, he's probably gone

Shittu or get off the pot.

OP asked about bigs 6-9 and over. I assumed he's asking about centers. Shittu is a 6-8 PF.

Shittu has measured 6'9" the last two All-Canadian Games and was measured 6'10 1/2 without shoes at Basketball Without Borders in February.

And you have to watch this video.

He's like a longer Julius Randle... but with much better court vision and passing. Any passing at all would qualify as better passing than JR, who had a habit of putting his head down. But Shittu looks like passing is one of his strongest assets.

The Bol Bol connection sure faded quickly. He sounded like a lock just prior to the USA games.
