2018

[Class of 72]

So we have our 10 guys for this year. 11th is sitting out and 12 and 13 are rolling over to 2018 class.

One of those is for Diakitie or so we still think since his injury is a big one

We lose Amar and Bashir and let's just say for shits and giggles we lose at least one other player . That's 5 ships for 18 and only 1 technically spoken for.

What's your dream but also realistic class.

First, I think we use one more ship this year.
Secondly, we could have 6 ships available.
We need size so my dream would include Jordan Brown and Bol Bol. That's a big dream.
Realistically we need Luther Muhammad because Lovett will be gone. He is a must get.
I suspect we keep using the transfer market both grad and undergrad for a couple of positions.
Finally, we need to focus on bigs no matter where we get them from.
The season we have this coming year may dictate our needs better and influence recruits.

Another one this yea? Uhhhh I'd be wary of anyone still out there now, no?

Maybe wishful thinking but Rooks is still out there.

Rooks is not a SJU target for whatever reason. Unless someone decent falls out of sky, they are done for 17.

What changed in the 3 weeks since we contacted him?

"Rooks’ list includes San Diego State, Connecticut, St. John’s, Georgetown, Illinois, Iowa State, Saint Louis and Clemson, according to Full-Time Hoops."

Is Reuter from UVA still available?

Staff apparently decided to pass on pursuing him. Sometimes one coach's opinion trumps another.

Committed to George Mason couple weeks back apparently.

Perhaps Trump had something to do with it but perhaps he prefers playing down the turnpike from home. If we are turning away from recruiting seven footers from major programs Mullin must have some ace up his sleeve. Since he is a guy who prefers tees I doubt it.

Luther than at least 2 bigs. One could be a sit out transfer as the following year we lose our entire front court (Owens, Clark and Yawke).
