What will season's after this roster look like?

[BigBoyBlueMMA]

I'm getting a little nervous or antsy. Would love to see Cal get another great SF(MKG) to put in this offense but looking more and more like Bridges headed to MSU and MSU may end up with the top Recruiting class.

What is your predictions of 16-17 Roster?

Mulder, Matthews, Willis, Hawkins, Humphries, and Wynyard are certainties (or really close to it). Sacha Killeya-Jones is committed.

That's A LOT more than we can normally count on when looking ahead a year. And those 7 offer depth at every position. It's a really, really solid foundation that just needs some studs thrown in- which is rarely a problem for Cal.

I agree with your statement that UK usually does not have this type of foundation coming back. Cal got some 4 stars in Mulder, Matthews and Humphries. They can only get better for next year. He got a 5 star in Killeya-Jones and needs about 4 new players.

You a UK fan for sure? MSU class will be no better than 3..

I'd add De'Aaron Fox and one (or maybe two) of Kobi Simmons, Malik Monk and Rawle Alkins.

Yes...but allegedly MSU is sewing up the next State of Michigan Fab Five version? But that was a writer for bleacher report.....on twitter....but it will be a very good one none the less....

that would be yet another special team!!!!

UK and Duke,, possibly NC State,, will end up with better classes.. It is a Mich fab five per MSU standards..

I think that what Cal wants, and what he was referring to with his "best class ever" statement, is Fox, Monk, and Giles.

And yes, Giles seems like a longshot, but this is not a case where UK got in late. Cal's been on Giles from the beginning, and is not going to give up easily. Okafor and Jones committed on the same day, with Winslow coming shortly after. It's now 2 1/2 months from the time that Tatum committed. Maybe UK has no chance, but I don't think the Tatum/Giles package is as strong as the Okafor/Jones one was.

Bull!! Kentucky better land Monk and Fox, otherwise there's no way they end up with a better class than MSU. Alkins and Gabriel are no sure thing to Kentucky either. The only team I foresee having a better class than MSU will be Duke. Now, if Kentucky lands Monk, Fox and Alkins and Gabriel, we'll revisit the situation at that time. But, highly unlikely Kentucky lands all of the aforementioned players in this recruiting class. If they do, I tip my hat to them.

I'm comfortable that uk will get plenty of returnees in Mulder, Matthews, Humphries, Wynyard, and possibly Ulis. Calipari will get some five stars in to mix with all that experienced talent and uk will be good again. Our fan base is secured for the forseeable future with final four and champion caliber teams!

With Cal at the helm,, better get that hat ready to tip.. There's a reason he's had the #1 class in 4/6 years,, #2 the other two.. Duke will more than likely get the #1 class,, especially if Giles goes there.. If he doesn't go there,, UK more than likely will get him.. UK will in all likelihood get Monk and Fox.. That would give UK 3 top 15 guys as Jones will end up top 15ish.. Add in some of the top '17 class will reclassify.. That would put UK then Duke 1-2.. NC State will more than likely have the #3 class.. So that leaves you at #4.. Nothing to pout about..

Doubtful unless they've been best friends since third grade likes Jones and Okafor. Duke has to be considered the favorites given their momentum and having Tatum on board, but I know it's not a sure thing until he signs on the dotted line

 

[bucsrule8872]

I think we return Lee, Mulder, Matthews, Humphries, and Wynyard.

I think we land Fox, Monk, and Simmons to go with Killeya-Jones.

Starters
G Fox
G Monk
G Matthews
F Lee
F Humphries

Bench
G Simmons
G Hawkins
G Mulder
F Killeya-Jones
F Wynyard
F Willis
G Floreal

That's not the best scenario, but I could live with it.

But then again, it's hard for me to believe that Cal won't land another stud big. Surely someone wants to be the next Cousins, Davis, Randle, or Towns.
