2016 General Recruiting

[UCalum08]

@JonRothstein
Mississippi State transfer Malik Newman is down to Kansas and Western Kentucky, sources told @CBSSports. Decision expected in next few days.

Western Kentucky in the mix again?!! What is going on there?

Any visits or targets for the 2016 class, or have the coaches all but moved on to 2017?

 

[Bearcat513]

Andrew White doesn't seem to be a target.

Andrew White isn't considering the Cats. He is looking for a place to walk in and play 30 minutes a game and be the man. Won't happen here. Probably not a lot of mutual interest from both sides.

I would guess they are still looking to add depth. Has to be the right fit though.

I agree and I didn't think he would even consider us. Then again, I doubt we considered him, too.

How can you say he is looking for 30 minutes a game with a interest list like that?? Cuse, Pitt, Louisville, Miami, MSU, USC, UCONN.... All of those teams have just as much depth as we do some have even more.

And to say we wouldn't consider him is an absolute joke to. Do you guys even read some of your posts out loud and listen to what you are saying?? You don't think we would consider a quality player who has an interest from a list of teams like that? Smh

Because he does want 30 minutes a game and we arent interested. Why do people find it so hard to believe?

He wants to showcase himself to try and get to the next level. To do so you are making it all about yourself

I don't think we reached out, no. White is the type of player who is thinking solely about upping his game to impress NBA scouts. I'd imagine he wouldn't be the best team player in his final, and only year, with us.

We talked to him when he was in HS, and then again when he was leaving Kansas. We went 0 for 2. With that in mind, along with him probably not fitting in with the team from a chemistry stand point, I doubt we reached out to him. Not because we don't need him or because he isn't a good player, but because we have a group of guys who all know and seemingly enjoy each other. Why throw someone new in there who will play for a year trying to score 20+ without thinking of the team first?

All of those teams on that list are pretty successful programs who make deep runs and have went further in the tournament than we have in the past decade. Its hard to believe because all of those teams are deep and recruit better than we do so for you to think he wants 30 minutes and is going to get it from any of those teams is a joke. And all of that selfish player wanting to score a million points and get 30 minutes and blah blah blah those are all assumptions you don't know what the kid wants for sure. Every single one of those teams ranked higher than us offensively probably almost every year in the Cronin era for you to think there is more scoring opportunity at those schools than there is here is delusional we need more people who are going to come out and get 20 a game. Why is that a bad thing??

Your guys reasoning makes no sense...not with the list who is interested in him and he is interested in...

It actually makes sense to everyone but you.

He will end up at Syracuse where they dont even have a SF or SG on the roster other than an incoming freshmen

UC is looking for someone to help with depth purposes next year. Not someone demanding the ball and minutes

If everyone knows he wants 30 minutes and he still has a list like that, that should tell us all we need to know.

pretty sure Syracuse is the only serious school and only school he has visited

They don't have a SF or SG??? That's comedy. They just signed a top 100 F Taurean Thompson. John Gillion from Colorado state transfered there. Eligible immediately. They also signed guard Tyus Battle and F Matthew Moyer. Those are just recruits for this year coming in not to mention anyone left from last year's team who didn't graduate or get drafted.

The difference between us and that list isn't playing time. It's putting people in the league and them producing. Get a clue.

Oh and just a heads up ALL of those kids are top 100 recruits who are expecting all of those minutes to. Yeah they definitely have 30+ minutes to offer you are right smh You guys make absolutely no sense. Lol

Thompson is a 4. Moyer is a 4. Gillion is a PG. And I mentioned battle as the incoming freshmen. so Like i said they have 1 guy(battle) who plays either the 2 or 3

Gillon is a 6 foot combo guard. Thompson is a PF/C. Moyer is a skilled stretch 4. Battle is really the only true wing on the roster, which gives Cuse starters minutes available...

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Is there anyone left at all or can we officially move on to 2017?

No Franklin Howard SG another top 100 kid last year? He's not demanding and getting minutes? Tyler Lydon? Big time stretch wing for them?

And just bc Gillon is small doesn't make him a pg he shoots alot and alot from deep avgd about 14 a game...
