Jake Weingarten on UK's 2020 class
- Thread starter WCS15UK
- Start date
One wonders if his AAU teammate Sharife Cooper also follows him here.
Same 'great class' sentiment from Evans
Im not heart broken if we miss out on Christopher, but they play different positions. Cooper is a 5'11 PG Christopher is a 6'4 slashing SG.
Cooper is going to go somewhere he can start though so if we do pull Christopher and Green before he commits then I expect Cooper to end up elsewhere.
Be interesting to see how it plays out. He might want to stay on his own. Cal has put us in a position with a lot of nice 2020 guards so there are several possibilities.
Not in on any other PGs besides nix. Think Cooper is the better of those two players.
Is he not a lock to Auburn? I know Cal loves big point guards but it’d be nice to pick up a smaller, quicker guard. Especially since the smaller guards are typically better shooters as well. It’d be a nice change of pace.

Cooper and Nix are the only ranked guards not signed yet. Maybe Boston and Cooper are a package deal. It seems that way as Cal still needs a PG, so would not shock me if Cooper commits soon now that his team mate Boston has pulled the trigger. Lot of people assumed Duke because of Sierra Canyon deal.
Christopher is 100% on the crystal ball and we just offered Askew who wants to reclassify! Christopher will play some point as well since that is what he’ll play at the next level!
We are in on several. Askew is seen as a reclassifier, and though he’s a longshot Cunningham has said he’s not a lock to OSU.
Boston can also play some 1 and SF. Versatile.
I’m not sold on everyone being gone after this yr yet. I still think Quickley will be good enough to play the pg spot if he doesn’t blow up and leave after this yr
Everyone is expecting a big class! Allen is most likely our only returning player
It all depends on who showcases the best or shows upside. I may get hammered for this, but I’m not sold on Juzang being oad. Only because he’s younger, everyone was convinced hagans was gone and that changed as well. I know Juzang is a big time scorer, but I also think brooks maybe a 2 yr player
Brooks is projected to be a two year player! Juzang has been impressive in the work outs some are saying
I’d roll with a Junior Quickley my self. But, Cal will need a backup or two.
I may be wrong but is just don't see Quickly coming back another year if he has a good year.
Class could be Boston, Fletcher, Christopher, Todd, Ware, Omoruyi, and Green! Askew if he reclasses!
I'm on board with Quickley getting 30-35mpg and Boston moving over and playing 5-10mpg at PG when Quick needs a breather. Lock up Clarke, who is expected to reclassify. Quickley, Clarke, and Boston would be a great backcourt. Bring Allen and Fletcher off the bench.
That would be an outstanding class. May of us would be very happy with that class.
I've been saying forever now that I believe 2020 will be the class where UK/Cal reclaim their rightful place at the very top of recruiting. I don't have any inside info or anything of the sort. I just have had that vibe and have been reading the "tea leaves" for a while. The recruiting landscape just seems to be heavily swinging back in our favor.
I think Cal lands the unquestionable #1 class in the country by a fairly wide margin. The days of duke hand picking these guys are over IMO. Suck it, dukies. [banana]
