Lsu landing multiple predictions for 5⭐️ Alston

[Anon1773686487]

Will be their 3rd 5 star this cycle, heck of a pickup for them.

 

[ScWildcat3]

Wants to start day 1 and lsu has always been a huge player in his recruitment.

whiff

 

[ScWildcat3]

I’ll gladly take that whiff. Sophomore mason is better than a freshman Alston. Our main priority right now is 2 big types. Even more so if zoom and Alex stay 2 years as well as Mason.

I don’t even get the point of following basketball recruiting these days. You and I know exactly what will happen.

We are bound to get at least 1 four star maybe 2

Effen amazing Will Wade is grabbing 3 5* in his first year at LSU.

Hell, I didn't even know this was hoops. With the 5*, figured it had to be Stein.

Might as well invest your time in watching the numerous African basketball league streams to see who we might have on our team next year.

What player doesn’t want to start Day 1?

We simply can’t compete with blue bloods like LSU. They have too much money and prestige.

that’s fine and that’s why he will end up at LSU. Would much rather go get bigs.

I believe we end up getting 2 top bigs at the 4/5 spots.

Kinda like what Stein is doing here. Some guys have energy the kids love others don't.

He has 2 4 stars according to On3 and 247. But keep exaggerating to push your agenda. I see the usual suspects already taken your word for it and spewing the same false Bs as truth

Mason is a nice player but uk must have a quick,scoring point guard that can create scoring opportunities for himself and others

And a coach that isn’t a weirdo.

And the recruits know when to run (within the first 90 seconds of their initial meeting with pope).

Only been here for 1 recruiting cycle. This next would be the 2nd one.

we are at the point where some uk fans feel having a stacked roster of high end talent is an impossibility. that having both mason and a freshman coming off the bench (like rippey at duke) doesn't even register as a possibility.

Alston isn’t wanting to come off the bench that’s the point and reason he’s not considering uk anymore. Some guys would rather be the star than go work for a spot like Rippey chose to. Of course Rippey didn’t know foster and everyone would be back either.

And rippey is better than foster anyway lol

I agree but hard to not play a senior along with boozer as well. With portal closed it’s smart to have guys announce coming back late like they did.

Not rly, im playing the better player everytime regardless of seniority

Rippey off the bench is exactly where he will thrive best. Also boosts that second unit.

Or you play the best player with the other best players on the team, your thinking about it to much

I don’t think he’s the best guard day 1 to run the team. Is he more talented yea but he’s not the best pg to start the season. He’s still pretty raw as a pg. he’s a scorer.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

whiffing matters.....

CBS just release its top 101 players in college basketball. we have 2, milan at 17 and moreno at 49. the list reads like a whose who of failed HS recruits/portal transfers.

• rob wright at 12
• caleb holt at 23
• kusturica at 78

any competent coach with the resources UK has to offer could have easily done better. oh what could have been...

Tubby won a title and went to multiple Elite 8’s. He also won multiple SEC regular season and tournament titles

He may not be - and JBB may not be the best to play with Ngongba. JBB might be better playing the 4 on offense and 5 on defense. Rippey might be better off when they have shooters on the floor and he can drive and kick. Scheyer needs to play around with his rotations and see what works best. He has about 70 options.

As of now, the teams I like the most this year are Duke, UConn, Illinois and Texas with Miami & Texas Tech darkhorses. I think Florida is overrated, B- guard play and really not sure those bigs are THAT good.

Duke the most upside & talent.

Uconn the strongest, toughest.

Texas has a very good roster and good balance, and Miller is due.

Miami is also very good with Reneau back. TT will depend on how Toppin looks.
