It’s kind of like Hooks said that we now have to ability to pressure five star guys to commit or get off the pot. Still think Bruce takes 2 big men but one will probably be Rongie Gordon Isn't Gordon a true project at his position? Really raw, but with all the right body dimensions for a PF...

Here’s a serious question then, who would you like to see commit out this class? Like a top 2-3.

Also Sharife Cooper because I like the idea of getting a great PG nearly every year. Edited June 10, 2019 by ellitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunndone414 469 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Per Corey Evans, Auburn may lead for Kessler. Would still be shocked if the UGA legacy picks us, but this is grounds for optimism. https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/wednesday-s-leftovers-dishing-on-unc-kentucky-bama-more 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was just a pipe dream, but AU may be his decision when it comes down to it. Oddly enough, I think UGA is out of the picture with him and it's down to AU and Duke.

I will say this...If we land Kessler I feel that will be the greatest recruiting job Pearl has done since he has been here. Why? Looking at it on paper..Kessler was either going to follow the Kessler legacy at Georgia, or he was going to sign w/ a blueblood. I felt and said so, regardless of what i was hearing from time to time how we had a chance, that we did not even have a 'good' chance. I thought the closest we get was 3rd. I thought the reasons I gave were just too strong to turn him to Auburn... I realize..as in past recruiting wars w/ the top level players...we have come close...so close..and still lost out..(I'm talking major sports, not just basketball)....so I am still not going to bet my house on it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone pointed out that Crean didn't really seem to get the most out of Cody Zeller at Indiana. He put up good stats but they underachieved both years Zeller (and Oladipo) was there and choked in big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK how he'll exist in the same market as Cali, who's better at that lane, but it's working for him this offseason I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,819 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Crean is a good coach. He would've been a star at UGA in the old SEC. But now he's probably top part of middle of the pack. He's a great recruiter but everywhere he goes he grates on those around him and I look for this to be his eventual undoing. Won't be for a while though like 3-4 years.

He honestly has already seen his best days as a coach when he went to the final 4 at Marquette because of D Wade almost 20 years ago.

Dipo was a 3 star coming out of high school and the 34th ranked shooting guard and he was the second overall pick in the draft coming out. https://247sports.com/Player/Victor-Oladipo-14674/high-school-2649/ Edited June 21, 2019 by GwillMac6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Anthony Edwards it seems the team is still pretty barren of talent outside of him right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
