Home Visits for this week
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
Aundre Hyatt, come on down. Hoping the McConnell commit can push Hyatt across the finish line here.
Hitting on this tandem would be major haul for RU...have seen Muhcahy and would be a nice fit as we seem to be stockpiling big guards...Pikes nicely adding building blocks in the build!
Would you describe Mulcahy as a quick penetrating guard? I know he's tall but what about ball handling and the ability to drive to the hoop and take his defender?
McIntosh was a very capable shooter but a little limited to get past defenders consistently...Mulcahy can use his size to get angles and has longer arms to make plays.
Just curious, why do I keep hearing posters wanting Hyatt to reclassify to 2018? The problem I see is a lack of balance between classes and that will be a major issue down the road.
Thats a good question. In part i think its to sustain our current progression and attract future recruits with upward trajectory. I also think its to lock him down b4 more of the big boys come knocking.
I personally would take him in either year, but thats not upto me obviously haha.
"Lack of balance between classes" is a problem the same way having too many starting pitchers is a problem in Major League Baseball. Things change, stuff happens, and what seems like a potential issue almost never actually becomes one. Say Hyatt reclassified and we wound up with:
FR: Hyatt, Mathis, McConnell, Johnson, Harper
SO: Baker, Kiss, Doucoure
JR: Thiam, Omoruyi, Carter
SR: Doorson
Plus one more, either a grad transfer or another freshman.
There'd be like a 98% likelihood that the freshman class would not end up as a five seniors in 2021. Someone could get injured and take a redshirt year, or someone could transfer out. And if nothing happens and we DO end up with those five as seniors... then I'd say 2021 should be a really good season for us.
Next years Senior class should have been: Corey Sanders, Kejuan Johnson, Justin Goode and Jonathan Laurent. I would give ZERO thought/weight to "class balance".
Worrying about a potential class balance problem 4 years down the road should be our smallest concern at this point in a rebuild - well really just a "build". There wasn't much built previously.
Mulcahy is a great passer. He sees the game two passes ahead, and at 6'5" he can also go by most anyone whenever he wants.
What happened to Goode? It looks like he playes 3 games for JUCO Broward and lit it up and has vanished from the internet
I wondered the same thing last year when I saw that. I thought perhaps he was injured but he never resurfaced.
