2017 recruiting class

[TourneyBound]

Okay we got Arop and should be able to sign around 3 more. Haven't been following very closely so what's everyone's top 3-4 players they want and what is everyone's top 3-4 players they think we will get???

[gobigredbrah]

NU has 2 spots currently open and only webster is leaving after the 2016-17 season, so a guaranteed 3 spots are open for the 2017 class. Also have to watch out for players like gill leaving after a year. Hope Miles signs 4 players. I think PG and SG are priorities.

 

1. PG/SG: Darien Jackson, McKinley Wright, Victor Bailey, Thomas Allen

Haven't offered jackson. Unsure of NU's chances with Wright. Beckner was the coach that offered Bailey...

 

2. PF/C: Theo John, Garza, Sterling Manley, Kevin Samuel, Hasahn French

Manley is a WVU lean. Garza is most likely not coming here

 

3. SG/SF/Stretch 4: Nana Akenten, Jordan Usher, Parker Stewart, Jericho Sims, Theo John, Goanar Mar

Sims has visited recently. Might be the recruit NU has the best shot at landing. Akenten has all mid-major offers outside of NU but I think he will blow up soon

 

4. SG/SF: Arop

Hope Miles signs 4 players.

 

At least...at this point you just need to bank on someone transferring/leaving and plan accordingly.

I'd say with Arop counting as SG/SF we need to use the other two scholarships on a PG and a big bodied C like Jordy.

[khoock]

Looking at 2017 this is how I see it

1: Watson Jr, ? Gill ?

2: Gill, Palmer, Arop

3: Roby, McVeigh, Arop, Palmer, Fuller

4: Morrow, Horne, Jacobson, McVeigh

5: Tshimanga

We will find out how well Gill can handle the bar but as you can see we definitely need another gaurd who can handle the ball and another Jordy. I'd say wings and forwards is the last thing we need, unless it's a PF that can hold his own against Big Ten Centers.

I still think Wingett is someone they should seriously consider. With the way they've been recruiting lately, they'll have the leeway for a development guy, which I think he would be.

I concur.

Besides Allen, do we have any confirmed visitors for this fall? 2 open spots so hopefully a couple lights out shooters on the radar.

Thanks Dimes, looks like Allen and Stewart are visiting, any others  you know of? 

[bigFRED]

Give me NANA

Whoever steps foot on campus >>> Site unseen.  I don't recall off the top of my head who has stopped by and who hasn't.

 

Otherwise, what positions/skills do we need? We're losing Tai and Evan and Gill will be seniors so it seems like at least one of our 2 targets should be a guard.

[aphilso1]

My gut says we get either Bailey or Stewart, plus Nana.  I think this will be a four-man class of:

 

PG: Stewart or Bailey

SG: 5th year transfer

SF: Nana

PF/C: HS Senior who is not currently on the fans' radar, but is likely someone the coaching staff is following as a Plan B.
