A fella can dream, right?

[Norm Peterson]

We currently have 5 spots open for the 2019 recruiting class.  By the time April rolls around, that number could swell to 6 or, hell, even 7.

 

We have no idea what will happen before the end of this month to add front line depth.  Maybe there's a grad transfer out there; maybe a 2019 kid can reclassify to 2018.  

 

Let's assume that, when everything shakes out, we'll still have 5 spots to fill for the 2019 class.

 

Who do you want?  Probably limit it to guys with offers who haven't crossed us off their list yet; otherwise, this thread will devolve into a discussion of how many years of eligibility Lebron James still has.  And I'm not interested in that.

 

Without a ton of thought, here's my 5 (wonder if we'll get any of them?):

 

Samuell Williamson, #35 in Rivals 150, 6'7" 170# SG/SF from Texas -- this is the kid we just offered; hopefully, that offer wasn't in vain.

Zeke Nnaji, #34 in Rivals 150, 6'10" 215# PF from Minnesota -- Rivals still has us listed among his suiters but that's probably hoping against hope, which is why we have this thread.

Zach Harvey, #48 in Rivals 150, 6'4" 170# SG from Topeka -- had my eye on this kid for awhile as you can see from his recruiting thread. Apparently said recently that Miles calls him 4 times/week.

Quenton Jackson, juco, 6'5" SG -- I'm intrigued by his stratospheric leaping ability, 40% 3-point shooting, and I think we'll need some experience on the roster.

Khalid Thomas, juco, 6'9" PF 202# -- another juco (experience for the roster) and shoots over40% from 3.  He needs to gain some weight to play PF in this league, but who knows how long ago that weight measurement was taken?

 

Probably need a PG somewhere in there, and a PF with a little more heft.  But if we get a few of the above, it'll be a really good start.

Looks good to me.

I really want Akol Arop personally.

I also like Robbie Beran, and not as a Plan B guy.  I think the kid is good.  Would be more than happy to get a commit from him.
