I only see one blue blood on that list and one school where you have a chance at title more than any other! Gonzaga is good but they aren't on our level!

Cal might let him shoot mid range like he did nick but he aint letting haarms shoot 3’s. If haarms is ok with that maybe he comes here.

Why are you even a UK fan? That’s a very sad outlook on our team. If I went into the season believing there was no way we could win the title I’d have a very hard time even following the team.

Montana’s a straightshooter, although I completely disagree with him here.

Haarms is most likely better at shooting the 3 than his limited sample size shows. He shot a lot of them at a good clip on his Spanish Junior team. Here is a small highlight. He had 6 games where he made 4+ threes ( very hard to find career stats) He was 7’2 at this stage. That being said I also agree that Cal doesn’t want him shooting them, but I also think he will take 40-50 on the season if he comes here.

I do realize a lot of the highlights are from his single year at Sunrise Academy in Kansas, some are also from his time in Spain, played in the Dutch League prior to that as well.

Its never been Cals MO to let his bigs shoot 3’s, id imagine he especially wouldnt for one thats 7’3. Maybe he’ll have a change of heart this season in an attempt to unclog the lane and give other guys the ability to slash which seems like itll be more of our strength but i just wouldnt necessarily as a fan ‘plan’ on seeing him shoot any since it hasnt happened before under Cal

Gonzaga is obviously UK's top competition in landing Haarms. Arkansas and Texas Tech are going to be the other two teams to watch out for in this recruitment.

From that list it seems to me it UK or Gonzaga with Gonzaga being my guess.

Memphis could work if he wanted to get tons of minutes and show off his game. Penny would let him have free reign. The prospects of Tex Tech would also become interesting if they got Kuminga

If he makes them Cal will let him shoot them - if he misses his first and his man banks one in from the corner with a hand in his face - out the rest of the half

Cal didn’t have any problem letting Sestina shoot the three. Seemed like even Reid Travis would put up at least one a game.
Good point. To be fair sestina wasnt really a threat to score from the low block really. Travis shot quite a decent amount it feels like early in the year and as the season went on he never shot them at all. We desperately needed Junior year Richards his Sophomore year. That team coulda been special.
