2020 Class
- Thread starter Darezay
- Start date
I have completely given up on trying to predict a Calipari class this early in the process. We can whiff on guys we’ve recruited for three straight years and then turn around and pull three five-stars and a grad transfer out of a hat like rabbits.
Would really keep an eye on Dalen Terry with how Kentucky will need players..
If UK got Cooper, they aren't getting Nix.
Terrence Clarke is higher on my own preferred list then many. Love his game/fit with UK, quite certain he'll be '20 when it's said and done.
Love your frontline of Maker/Todd, that's duo I'd take in a heartbeat due to versatility and mobility.
So much will change between now and October when they sign, but I expect UK to land a few early commits to help with rest of what will likely be a very large class of prospects to sign.
terrence clarke and cade cunningham are the two most important players next year.
If he stays 2020, I like our odds with Cooper. This summer will tell us a lot.
I absolutely want Clarke, Cunningham, and Todd. I also want Cooper and Boston, but I feel like that's a tough haul with so many guys playing the same position.
I'm also enamored with Maker. That guy is just oozing with upside and he's the perfect modern college 5. Cal could go "big" with that class and still play a more spaced, drive-and-dish, versatile way.

Maker is the guy who is having biggest Spring so far in terms of applying skill development to performance. He was good last year, but he's becoming a top prospect in this loaded class. So skilled, and a force on glass. I really want to see him at UK/develop. Where the staff would take his game.....scary.
Absolutely. The work he put in this spring had some article (that I can't remember now) if he was in the conversation for top player in 2020.
When you look at just the tools he has to work with, there's nothing he can't do.
He and Todd together would be unreal, or he and Cunningham in the PnR or pick and pop.
100%--also love that he's not sacrificing defense/rebounding while playing all over offensively. Had 22 rebs in a game last weekend, avg around 11 rpg and at one session of Adidas Gauntlet he shot 8-13 from 3 pt line at 6'11 235. He and Dream Vision will play Evan Mobley and Compton Magic at next session of Adidas Gauntlet (Memorial Day Weekend). Interested to see how he does head to head against the #1 player in class (by most media outlets right now)
There’s been like 4 straight cb picks for Boston so I think we get him, Todd, Maker, Cunningham, and Clarke when he reclasses and just play a 3 guard lineup up with Cunningham at 1 and then Clarke and Boston are interchangeable at the 2 and 3 spots and fill in the bench with guys like Justin Powell and Cliff Omoruyi
If we don't get Cooper and take a pure point in the top 20-ish, I'd like to see us take a look at Hassan Diarra. Big, physical guard from Putnam (Hami Diallo) that knows how to run the show on a loaded team and fill a role.
I think he'd be a 3 year guy that understands he's a 3-4 year guy.

Hard to say what we will need. I imagine IQ, Allen and Juzang will be back. Chances are one or two of our top recruits will take time to adjust and/or not get the minutes.
I think 3 to 4 is what we can expect back.. Could be as low as 2.
But there's just not enough minutes for all of these guys to show out.
Yes please give us Cunningham !! He’s my top choice ! 
Unknown but I'm glad Cal/Kenny Payne went to visit him for the first contact period of Spring--he was the visit they took weekend they were scheduled to visit Hurt. Word is he likes UK, so we'll see. Ed Smith will handle his recruitment for him as he did with his cousin Thon and while Ed caught a lot of crap, he produced with Thon getting drafted where he did.
Couldnt agree more this kid needs to be our number 1 priority start with him and the rest of the class will fall into placeYes please give us Cunningham !! He’s my top choice !
Kansas sits pretty good with Cunningham and Todd. No, I'm not saying they will end up at KU, but I really like our chances.
I like Kansas’s chance of getting some games vacated.
Tbf crystal ball picks mean nothing, especially this early. Just look, we had crystal ball picks for McDaniels up until...
You had picks cause crystal ball picks only exist to click traffic to websites. Half the time they don’t know and just drive clicks much like the ones who lie here and say they know even when the smart ones call them out for lying over and over and over again.
You post a lot. Get a new hobby. Cause being on here all day can’t be healthy.
If we don't get McDaniels, and EJ stays in the draft, I can see a late push to have Todd reclassify.
Cunningham, Boston, and Todd would be a great core to the 2020 class.
Okay there cool guy. [eyeroll] I have some advice for you. Go get laid. Good Lord.
I love the way everyone is ignoring your post, troll. I’ll do the same in the future. Just wanted to make sure you noticed it.
Todd has said that his plan is to stay in 2020 class, but he wouldn’t rule anything out if a team were to absolutely need him next year.
Good Lord, I’m starting to think you’re his handler
