SJU Portal Targets

Bird in hand means Pitino has mega chance of closing on nice trio visiting, who all have other suitors. Rather than get into Watkins bidding war which seems likely from Mug & dk feedback, my opinion is to nail down Jackson, Mitchell and Sellers.

Yes, I meant it as a rhetorical question. I totally agree!

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

I’d be stunned at option 2. The window is now. No way we don’t get experienced pg imo

If Watkins intends to stay in the draft, like RJ seemingly does, I think this is the better strategy with the potential available options. Yes, both kids could change their mind if their is a injury, if the workouts or combine don’t go well, based on feedback, etc, but I think both are more likely than not to turn pro. Which means you aren’t left holding the bag.
 
1) Appreciate all the DM's about Xaivian but really can't comment except like everyone he has a lot of respect for coach and the program being built. It's not about the dollars here and he is fortunate through hard work to put himself in a great position. Hes a great kid and has a tough decision to make. He is not a lean at this point.
2) What I've heard ...Sellers in. Jackson USC (he likes Muss)making push but I would be shocked if its not SJ. They LOVE Mitchell. Hes a winning kid with his attitude...heard hes in as well. Watkins ...dont love his team and not sure SJ will get involved again.

Thanks for all your info. Any idea of timing on Lee's decision?
