Not blaming anyone, and I've been doing it too...

But let's keep this thread to Hardnett.

If the post isn't about him, take it to another thread. Or even create a new thread. The discussion is fine, just want to clear it from this thread since Hardnett has his decision today.

I feel that his hands and his ability to be strong with the ball are the biggest things with him. If he catches the ball or gets a rebound he is prone to have it poked out. He and Trey get knocked around so easily when in the paint and rarely finish on first attempt.

Just saw your post Jacob, my fault

No prob.
 
This is so exciting. Only a few times a year do we have days like this where we could add a new player to the program.

The fact that he's from a winning program in a good basketball city is encouraging. You take that with his physical traits, get him working with Rehfeldt and get him in the gym going to work on his skills with our guys, no reason to think he won't be a rotation guy for some very good UC teams down the line. I have no idea what his ceiling is, but at worst he seems like he fits the mold to be a contributor as an upperclassman.
 
@ColbyGHoops
Extremely versatile 6’8 forward that plays point guard for his HS team. A player fans will fall in love with immediately.

Kansas State, LSU and Maryland we're trying to get more involved, but he went with the schools that had been on him the longest.

Yeah I read that. That’s very interesting and extremly good news. We have all learned being a Bearcat fan we can’t always worry about what other schools were recruiting a guy (Trevor Moore) or worry about their rankings but with limited highlights on him and no huge scouting reports it’s nice to here some P5 schools were in on him late... You wonder if we weren’t it on him and Buffalo and mid major offers were all he had, Would he have waited to see if the Maryland type schools would offer.. Sounded like he had his mind made up due to our success and the relationship He had with Coach Jackson so he didn’t even care to consider others..

I’m excited. It seems hard to compare him to any previous Bearcat but it’s nice to hear he can handle it so well at 6’8” if we get a more offensive skilled commit next this class fits perfectly to what Cronin has been building

Frankie P or one of the offensive Jucos would be great

If Jake leaves would love to hold his scholarship for a transfer. With our past 2 transfer ins I never want to get away from going the transfer route.

From the (limited) amount I've seen, I prefer Hardnett over that Tyrese Haliburton kid we were briefly in on in the summer/fall. At worst it's a push.

Only have seen short clips of Hardnett though. The 6'8" part is extremely intriguing. We are really building a modern team. I love that.
