I come here in peace just looking for some good recruiting talk. It seems like we dont have much overlap for the 2017 class compared to other years. It looks like Bamba is going to be a battle between us. That seems to be about it, I know Carter and Trent just visited but I think most people look at those two as heavy Duke leans. Just curious on who you all think you are sitting very well with and whats a realistic class you all think you might land. I know Cal seems to be all in on Trae Young. Again I come in peace just good recruiting talk
Whats your 2017 class looking like?

What are your thoughts on flopping? Do you ever find a little embarrassing that your coach actually teaches flops?
Don't know who all we end up signing but I do know we end up with either the #1 or #2 class. Man its great to have Cal!!!
UK gets Knox, Young, Petty, Diallo, Washington, and Ayton.
Or something awesome like that.
And our coach is a dozen years younger, so he'll be putting classes together like long after K retires.
Which I guess is a good thing for us.

My prediction:
UK gets:
G Young
G Diallo
G Petty
F Washington
F Richards
F Ayton
Return Gabriel, SKJ, Humphries, and Wynyard.
Duke gets:
G Green
G Trent
F Knox
F Bamba
F Carter
F Gak
Return Jackson, Kennard, and Jeter.

Ah hell, I'll bite.
Young
Petty
Washington
Bamba
Richards
Taveion Hollingsworth
If we don't get Bamba I think we get Ayton. Knox and/or Lonnie Walker isn't out of the question but I don't predict them right now. I'm 50/50 on Diallo.

Holy smokes, y'all really don't like Duke around here.
About as much a Georgia fans like... Who do you hate again? Alabama? Tennessee? Who ever it is, that's how much we like Duke.
Does anybody?
Even if folks are being nice . . .
You still ain't safe!
You need to tweety this out on twitter.... I'll show myself out.
If you can't stop em, flop em. Demo by Krybabyshitski.
It's absolutely disgusting this weak-wristed piece of **** is USA's head coach. He embodies nothing this country should stand for.
It's amazing to me kids go play for that....rat

Is that Wojo straddling K and everyone lining up behind him? Had to be embarrassing when he realized this isn't the locker room and the cameras are rolling. #notnowwojo
This year we could miss as many as we could get. I could see our class being as small as 4 and as big as 7. My wish list is different than who i think we'll get, but ill go with Young, Petty, Walker, Vanderbilt, Washington, and either Bamba/Ayton
Got a feeling Diallo and Richards stay in the north but hope im wrong as i love both guys as prospects. Id also like Billy Preston to be a legit option but havent seen enough to justify he is. I also like Scruggs a lot but seems we've cooled on him.

We need Washington, he reminds me of Alex Poythress and you can never go wrong with a talent like that. A great fit for us and maybe our 3rd or 4th best recruit coming in our class.
Would love to see Cal sell Ayton and Bamba on playing together. I know it's unlikely, and the fabled "spacing" would be lacking, but holy mother of Moses, can you imagine the defensive impact of those two down low?
Also, I think Gabriel and SKJ have a decent chance of being OAD. SKJ is skilled enough to warrant some NBA attention. We could see UK lose 6 or 7 to the draft next June.

There will be minutes for two bigs in the current class. I think Humphries and/or SKJ could surprise folks and make the jump.
Kevin Knox is the one who intrigues me. Cal's gone to watch 3 or 4 of his games this summer, which is interesting considering nearly everyone is declaring the war already won by Duke. If Cal stays on him once his high school season begins this fall, it could be very telling in terms of UK's chances.

give the rat a break...he was just going down to take instructions from his leader.
Possibly my two fav GIF's of all time reside in here. Paulus would never risk looking that stupid unless he had been taught for 4 years everyday how to fall.
Lordy Lord I cant wait for this hoop season to start!!!!
Great shooter. Would love to have him. But prolly going to Nova. However, I remember how cool Nova fans were when MKG picked UK. Real nice bunch /s
Don't confuse the bench warmer fans with the paid subscriber fans. We've got a lot of idiot fans on the bench warmer board. I'm just talking hoops. I hope we get Lonnie because we've recruited him forever. But I can't fault a kid for going to UK
For the record, his mom/grandma want him close to home but his dad wants him to leave for college. So its far from a Nova sure thing. Depends who wins out
Rooted for ya'll after we got beat by the Hoosiers.
With that championship, I could see Nova permanently stuck in the Top 10, Top 5 every year moving forward. Best of luck with Walker, although I think you won't need any luck on that
Would love to have Lonnie Walker as a fourth guard in this class, but it seems only fair to let Nova have him as a thank you for April.
