Help Support BearcatTalk:

Yeah, guys we need to support him. He's a Bearcat and we need to give him a chance just was hoping for Bragg

I tweeted Chad when he tweeted the news and I said no Bragg? He replied back and said if that's what you want to assume?? Something might pop off?
 
Wow... I don't think anyone should be upset with getting a commitment from anyone. Especially a 6'9" SF/PF rated in the top 200. I also don't think we are done going after Bragg. This signals a Quadri Moore leaving situation.

He had pretty good schools to choose from. I'm sure the coaches properly evaluated him and the situation and made the best decision. Seems like he was excited to make his visit and we beat Yukon for a big guy they desperately needed. Hopefully he develops and becomes a legit starter for a couple years.

Yeah, like I said, I'm going off of 1 YouTube video. The coaches have more information than me

You might be right..Bragg still might very well be a Bearcat.

I'm def happy with Diarra. I'm happy with anyone that wants to be a Bearcat. I just do want some bigs that can spread the floor after seeing Gary and Kyle. Eliel, Diarra, Brooks and Scott can't. But a lot can happen and they all seem very tough and athletic. We wont be worried about rebounds that's for sure.
 
@ChadBrendel
Don't do player comps because I hate them lol. Have seen him live last summer. Long, athletic and very active. Has a nice touch on jumper.

Sounds like the videos we saw don't tell the whole story. Scott still has 3 more years to develop his jumper too. He has a good looking stroke. I can easily talk myself into this even if we don't get Bragg.
 
Can we still get Bragg they are making a big deal about landing the kid from SD state because he is from here Phoenix, its on the local news that he passed AZ state and now is coming home. Hear nothing about Bragg.

Youre right. I mean I didn't even think Gary would ever have the range he has now.
 
I'm ok with this. Kid is solid and could be a really good contributor down the road. I love his length and if he has nice touch on his jumper to go with his athleticism we have seen in the videos, that will be extremely nice to have.

Remember Mick Cronin (and all college coaches) live by the credo, "Never done recruiting." I don't think this has anything to do with Bragg necessarily. If Mick thinks he can help and is comfortable with him on the team, he will continue to pursue Bragg. It will all work itself out.
 
been doing some work looking into him and he's growing on me a bit. Lots of big named schools wanted him and then found these videos and he has a nice looking jumper. Made 13 of 14 stationary threes in this videos:

Here's his mid range

Still really want Bragg think him broome Cumberland and Evans (if he stay 4 years) would be a run and gun four guys. If we get Bragg this commit could be more telling on micks thoughts on tre Scott? Just thinking out loud with that one.

Nice find on the videos. Pretty smooth for a young 6'9" kid.

Lol Chad from the woodwork dispelling the ignorance. Love it.

I will never complain about a commitment from a guy rated in the top 200 composite. I think the coaching staff knows what they are doing and wouldn't accept this commitment if 1. They didn't want him and 2. if getting him would mean we are done with Bragg. We will just have to see what happens.

Also, just a general question. I saw his post on Instagram about committing and it wasn't the best English. Has he only been in the States for awhile? Don't know much of his backstory. We are becoming more international here with Diarra and Nsoseme lol.
