Hope it happens. It's always nice to lock up one legit big by the end of the fall period. Would give UK a great core of Ware, Fletcher, Boston, and (hopefully) Clarke representing the early haul: two top 45 guys, a top 10 guy, and a top 3 guy. That's beautiful stuff it it all comes together.
Exactly. Then cal can hone in on Pt guard and a couple more bigs.

I haven't lost confidence in Christopher. If he was willing to share time with Green, why wouldn't he be willing to share time with Clarke? The minutes would be the same and the role on the team would be the same.

I've yet to see anyone articulate the reasoning here. Just a bunch of ambiguous claims that "the Christopher ship has sailed."

Push for an explanation, and no one offers anything of substance. Guess they're still working out their BS post-narratives if Josh goes elsewhere.

That is a great lineup.

The dickens you say?

On the 247 Scouting Report, it says that Meyer scouted him in February of 2018. Meyer says his draft position would be in the 1st round and that his player comparison is Marvin Bagley. Ware hadn't started climbing up the rankings at that time. Either Meyer saw something that very few people saw early on, or Meyer needs to put a little more work into actually scouting players. I think Ware will be a good player to add to the roster, but I don't see a Bagley skill level. Regardless, I hope he's a Cayut sooner rather than later.

Meyer does a good job scouting players. He trolls fans with his Crystal Ball picks in order to generate hits, though.

I think we all know that Bagley was a #1 recruit and #2 prospect for the pros so no one expects a Bagley Level skill set.

If he cayut's, you clean it up.

Is he by any chance left handed?

Personally I hoped we would do better than Ware. Blast away but I'm not impressed in terms of what I feel we should be landing big man wise.

I know some people have lost some faith in Evan Daniels and his picks with the whole McDaniels situation, but I would say this one is getting close to being wrapped up. I got a little nervous when the pick before Evan Daniels' was for Michigan.
Can’t pick ‘em all. He’s been pretty good though recently.

We lose all of our bigs this year. How is that difficult to comprehend? We need bodies. Unfortunately we can't grab 4 Anthony Davis' in every class.

Thanks for the update. I don’t think this is a secret. Ware has been a likely Wildcat since Cal offered. We have known for some time that Ware is looking at Kentucky and Michigan, with Kentucky being the team to beat.

Corey Evans just put in a Futurecast prediction for Lance today as well. Seems to be trending towards a commitment sooner rather than later...

People complain that we need more players to stay longer and Cal recruits someone that may stay 2-4 years and then people complain that we need someone better. If you get someone better you are getting a 5 star that will be gone in 1 year. I guess some people complain no matter what Cal does.
