I know it was either JLee or a reliable insider. I think it was Jhead. And I definitely trust his info. I think his prediction was Green, Thor, and DC. From what he wrote, we're looking for a combo guard, a big, and a best available. Green is the CG, DC is the big, and Brown or Thor would be the best available. DC's spot might hinge on Brown's decision. Edited April 2, 2020 by boomstick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we haven't already made an offer/taken his commitment after missing on Omoruyi, it tells me we have someone else we're currently after that we think can play the same position and is higher on our board. The only one I can think of is Thor. Size wise and skill wise, I think Brown would fit the mold of a stretch 4 or 5 in our system, but I can't see us recruiting him at that spot, given how much he's talked about wanting to play 3 and not being interested in playing 4 or 5. I think most are recruiting Thor as a stretch 4, but I think he fits our system very well as a stretch 5. He's tall, long, very athletic and explosive for 6'10" and has some shooting skills. IMO he fits the mold of what Bruce really wants in his bigs right now. Same with Stretch Akingbola. McLemore was a little shorter version of that. Cliff would've been a bit of a hybrid in that I think he had the physical size that Stretch and Thor don't but also had the ability to step out a shoot a little. Reminds me of Emmitt Williams at LSU. Wiley is probably the exception to the 5 position for Bruce more than the rule. And IMO Cardwell is more like Wiley, a back-to-the-basket guy. So your premise is that we don't want Cardwell ideally?

We want a big in this class. But I think we’re targeting a different style at 5 ideally. A long, rangy, athletic stretch player would be ideal. If we can’t land that, I think we’re happy to take Cardwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting impatient with not having any bigs in this class and with a guy like Caldwell wanting an offer i keep thinking what the hell is the staff waiting for? But your post is likely spot on in regards to why he doesn't have a spot yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CBP wants a 5 who can shoot. Think that is why we went after Kessler. At that time he was A Georgia lean and we pursued him hard. cbp will work with whoever but it sure does open the floor when the 5’s are standing at the 3 pt line!

War to the Eagle 364 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) There’s something on Rivals about Matt Haarms (7’3” Center from Purdue) entering the transfer portal. Not sure if we’d be interested, but does anyone know if he’s immediately eligible and/or how many years he has left?
