SJU Portal Targets

Now do you go Watkins Jackson Lee/Wagner with Sellers outside looking in....who knew options were a beautiful thing
 
I think there's 2 ways Watkins still being a priority target here would make sense.

1) Jackson isn't quite a done deal yet. Trilly said this morning that Jackson isn't locked in yet and his recruitment is more open than people think. It's also been said he's asking for a ridiculous NIL figure.
2) The plan if we miss on Lee is to go PG by committee with Watkins, Jackson, Sim all playing minutes at point. None of them are close to being true points but all have either some experience playing on the ball or have the tools to theoretically be able to handle it for stretches.

The next 7 days might be wild

The "threat" (lol at the phrasing) of Jamir being a target could also make Ian/Sellers/Mitchell more likely to commit sooner than later as well.

No Wagner consideration if he enters portal Mug? Not ideal, but could it be functional?

I've never been a fan of his but think his size and defensive ability would make him the best realistic option if we miss on Lee. It's possible his perception is slightly down due to Calipari misusing him for a good chunk of his time there, but he would need to really cut down on the hero ball possessions and ridiculous shot selection for him to really work here. He has some of the negative parts of RJ's mindset when it comes to that. I think Pitino sees similar which is why he's chosen to pursue Lee over him at this point.

At the time of that post I thought we'd be major players for Watkins and I was trying to see how it would make sense for Watkins to be a target if all of Jackson, Sellers, and Mitchell are indeed being added. Seems as though Watkins may not be a top target after all and his recruitment is completely wide open.
