Does anyone have any info on any more basketball recruits Wade expects to sign during this early signing period? I know there will be 3 spots available for certain and maybe 2 more. Just curious who else may be coming on board this period.

James Bishop a 3* Guard who can play both the point and small ball wing signed early, he is criminally underrated though and should get a bump.

Charles Manning signed he is a 3* wing with good athleticism but great toughness but he is a JUCO.

Those two signed already.

Naz Reid for sure is a one and done, the thinking is that as long as Waters stays healthy and improves on the things the NBA asked him to improve upon he is leaving no matter what as well. So that would leave 3 more spots available.

We definitely need to sign atleast 2 bigs. Poster has said CJ Walker who is committing and signing on the 21st will be doing so with LSU, if that happens that is one big he is a 4* with serious bounce and could be a starter day one, would be a big get.

There is a couple of JUCO bigs, the main one being Khadim Sy who had been at Virginia Tech who is 6-10 and would fill the Bigby-Williams role nicely.

Then there is Trendon Watford a 5* forward but he will be signing in the late period.

Lester Quinones is a 4* wing, and if he signed in the early period it would be with LSU, I think he waits.

Lastly the biggest news for this cycle is probably not a "2019" recruit per say at all. But 6-11 5* 2020 recruit N'Faly Dante who could reclassify to the 2019 class and be an immediate impact one and done player for LSU. If he reclassified today and tried to sign in the early signing period it would be all LSU. There is probably not enough time for that, but in the late signing period it could be a possibility.

This is a great problem to have as going forward with the recruiting under Wade it shapes up as big names only. I think with Heair on staff you can always expect a JUCO or two on the team, they love the toughness and athleticism they bring. But other than that Top-75 recruits after this 2019 class.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I knew about Bishop and Manning. Just wasn't sure where we stood with the others. I've seen highlights on all these guys and Quinones is a tough kid. He has good athleticism and very killed and can hit the outside shot. Walker is smooth and athletic. Sy is a really good big but Watford has all the tools and he can flat out play ball. Watford isn't as athletic as Sy, but he is a very intelligent player who knows how to play the game. Would love to get Watford, Quinones and Walker. But N'faly is on another level. He will be a dominate layer in college. His athleticism and size and skill reminds me of AD. Looks like Walker will be the last early signing (if he does indeed sign with LSU, and I really hope he does) and the rest later. Anyway, thanks again, Coast.
