I think you add Devin Williams to that list at least for now. Kevon Looney would be another but let's be honest here. Spring and summer AAU will change a lot of things for a lot of people in regard to 2014.
Marcanvis Hymon is a prototypical UC recruit that I think we have a good shot at. Obviously Abu and Terrell are 1a and 1b and I believe we have a strong chance at the both of them since they are a packaged deal and we are going strong at both. I think Deangelo Russell is a long shot because he is waiting for the Kentucky offer but we are putting in lots of work. Another guy that might be a long shot is Jaquan Lyle but I feel like we have a better chance at him than Russell but that isn't saying much. My perfect class would be Terrell, Abu, Hymon and Lyle.
Just a guess:
Guards: Jared Terrell, Devin Mitchell, Kendall Crute, Dion Wiley, Wade Baldwin IV, Justin Bibbs
Forwards/Centers: Abdul-Malik Abu, Marcanvis Hymon, Isaac Copeland, Philip Cofer, Ben Bentil, Gary Clark, Jakeenan Gant, Chinanu Onuaku
From the guards, I'd keep an eye out for Devin Mitchell, Kendall Crute, and Jared Terrell. Wiley will be tough to get to leave Maryland. Bibbs used to attend Chaminade, then transferred to Montverde in Florida I believe. Right now I'd see him as someone you keep tabs on, but more of a backup option.
Just my opinion. We're really recruiting all over the place. Georgia, Maryland/DC area, and all over the east coast. Hopefully we can land another great class and keep momentum going.

I like Onuaku and Bentil...Wiley is a long shot at best.

I want the Abu and Terrell duo. Both look like hard nosed bearcats.
Yeah, that's who I want.
Just saw that interview video on Terrell. He mentioned Cincinnati first. Sa-weet. And UC is recruiting both of them. I hope it pays off.
Abu also mentioned UC first.
Leaves really only Gaines, who will be a senior, Strickland, who will be a sophomore at this point, and Lawrence, who really is more of a big guard/small forward type.
Really hope we get Abu and Terrell. We will be loaded with guards if we get Terrell. JDIII, Guyn, Caupain, KJ, Morman, Terrell.
Really need to get some PF's, IMHO. Not sure who else they are seriously looking at. Seems like all the talk is about Abu and Terrell, which is great. But I'd like to know who else they might be in with strongly.
Morman might also be a possibility to play the 3 similar to Parker's role this year. I'm excited about the guys coming in as well as Guyn's and Sanders' recent play.
