Based on all the tea leaves, would be shocked if Luis doesn’t pop for us tomorrow.

That said, already pretty shocked that all 3 wings - Luis, Taylor, and Dunlap would join the same team given their common position

Maybe why Keita took a hike?

Yes I am of the belief that Pitino essentially “nudged” him out the door because he has plans for that scholarship that may or may not come to fruition.

Assuming Luis commits tomorrow we’ll have 3 spots left. Thinking staff is allocating two of those for Dingle and Ware. The final one must be available in case Mgbako is in play. If Mgbako goes elsewhere can see it going to a HS kid Pitino thinks he can develop like Mahoney.

Trying to thing when the last time we had something similar.

On a much higher level I think maybe Harkless,Sampson Garrett even if they didnt all come at same time and I forget but maybe Sampson ended up recommitting but originally did they all commit that same class ?

Yes originally all same class with Pelle, Harrison, Pointer, Lindsay and godsgift. Garrett made it second semester, Sampson the next year and Pelle never.

Big wing players are like SEC lineman they separate the big boys. Those types of players can guard the most positions effectively. Pitino is the man, he’s gunning for a Big East title off the jump.

I tried to figure out candidates but they all seem pro already. Can't even remember if kids are allowed to play pro there and come here and sit a certain amount of games. With NIL everyone is getting paid so getting paid in Europe doesn't seem like such a crime anymore.

Even though theyre 6’7”, guys like Luis and Dunlap can play several positions. Aside from SF I absolutely see a guy like Dunlap getting some time at SG as he’s a better off the dribble shooter. Luis could play both forward spots depending on the matchup and has handled the ball as a SG before as well. Plenty of time to go around I believe. I do think we will play a lot of games with basically two SF’s out there to space out the “European” style offense and spread the court.

Either way it’s gonna be a lot of fun for us. Let’s land Luis tomorrow.

Love flexibility! The question will be; can Dunlap effectively guard the SG position. Or will Pitino go with some sort of zone? Interesting to see what he decides to do.
