It's a pleasant surprise just to see that we're in the conversation for a lot of these 5* guys. Will Wade doing work

I'm sure you did already but I went ahead and requested a sticky. Thanks for taking the lead on this
Posted on 6/13/17 at 1:53 pm to RoyalLSU
You need to add
Darius Days
Nassir Little
Bryan Penn-Johnson
We have a legit shot with all three of these kids.

I really want leblanc. Has a Draymond Green type game
Posted on 6/13/17 at 2:04 pm to RoyalLSU
Does the Wichita assistant we brought in have excellent national ties? Crazy how many top guys we're in the discussion for

I tried upvoting you 100 times for starting this thread, but it didn't work. Thanks for posting!
Posted on 6/13/17 at 3:42 pm to BobBarker
Bryan Penn-Johnson was unranked when we offered, so I thought we had a ER good shot but now I see 247 has him in the low 30's now. That's a huge increase
Posted on 6/13/17 at 3:57 pm to RoyalLSU
Thanks for making the effort for this one. I would only ask that you have links to profiles or highlights.
Posted on 6/13/17 at 4:22 pm to BobBarker
Other than Javonte Smart, is there anyone, who is a Must Get??
Posted on 6/13/17 at 6:11 pm to RoyalLSU
This is my losing mentality, but it just feels good to be in the mix for these guys. Hope we land a few, because I feel that Wade has shown he can maximize talent.
Posted on 6/14/17 at 2:29 am to RoyalLSU
Nice work OP. Gotta keep it updated for us basketball guys!
Posted on 6/14/17 at 9:53 am to RoyalLSU
It's a big recruiting year for Wade. He has (at least) 5 scholarships to offer and a dire need for frontcourt players with both (likely) starters, Reath and Combs, being Seniors. It's not just lip service to tell Freshman they will have an opportunity to start on day one.
Posted on 6/14/17 at 10:07 am to GeorgeTheGreek
Didn't he move on to bigger and better things?
Posted on 6/14/17 at 11:32 am to c on z
He did but he stopped doing things for scout and it kinda stopped completely once Ben love was sent packing.
Posted on 6/14/17 at 5:41 pm to Alt26
Smart should be first priority. He will bring other talented guys with him that would want to play with him. The future is very bright for tiger basketball.
