Yes, but if we have a guy come off the bench, as expected, a year from now we will have people wondering why the heck Juzang is entering and signing with an agent because all they will see is that the came off the bench and contributed ya know 7-10 pts a game (a guess). His goal is to be OAD and that likely won't change with being a starter or bench player. However, people on here think that changes things.
People on here don't decide anything.

So I guess we're looking at something like this:

Hagans/Quickley
Maxey/Juzang
Whitney/Allen
Sestina/Brooks
Montgomery/Richards

If they were to get Blackshear, something like this:
Hagans/Quickley
Maxey/Juzang
Whitney/Brooks
Montgomery/Sestina
Blackshear/Richards
My gut feeling (means nothing to anyone besides me), tells me EJ and Richards are staying in.

Yeah Cal said don’t be surprised if he commits a day or two after his visit next Monday

I think it's a reclass too, but it won't be long after that. Usually the reclass is announced when the kid already knows where he's going.

Yes y’all have. Y’all took two of my Terps recruits (Norman Nolan and he one that hurt the most, Justin Anderson)


None. But we haven’t gotten a kid rated this high before, and he has a clear path to PT. But like I said...I’m not getting my hopes up.

NN was before the OAD era. And Justin was more raw than JJ is, and had Joe Harris in front of him.

Justine would have been a OAD somewhere else. NBA scouts had him as a OAD player and were baffled that he licked UVA when their system at the time didn’t fit his game

I think you’re putting too much emphasis on his height, which essentially puts him at the 3 instead of the 2. Whats more important is the role he plays. We need a scorer/shooter and that’s the role he fills. If he had the exact same skill set but he was 6’4” he’d still be a very sought after player but he’s be listed as a 2.
Agree. We want shooters on the wing. He’s a shooter. He’s a 2 in the NBA anyway.

Herro is now listed at 6ft6 so I don't see a big difference here just replacing Tyler and baker.

Yes, but I assume Maxey will be playing the 2. That is why I am curious to where Juzang will come into play. It will obviously be off the bench, but I figured we'd get another guard who can play the 1 or 2 before we went after a SF who can also play the 2.

Either way, someone isn't playing much next year.

I suspect Maxey will now start at the 1 although I think Hagans and Maxey on the court together would be better.
I can see a lineup of
Ashton
Maxey
Juzang
Whitney/Brooks
EJ/Sestina
I expect to see plenty of small ball this coming year, but not that small LOL.

We definitely needed a shooter with Herro, Kj, and Baker leaving. Please, Baby Jesus let him announce tomorrow he's a cat. All lines up, let's F-ing do this! Juzang, McDaniels, and Blackshear! Then give us one back of EJ or Nick so we can at least be at 10 plus Allen.
How amazing would a team of be:
Ashton
Quickly
Maxey
Juzang
Whitney
Brooks
Allen RS?
McDaniels
Blackshear
EJ or Nick or both for 11 or 10 and Allen. #9 would start to look very close.

You seriously need a life. All you do is lurk around a UK board waiting for any recruit name to pop up so you can tell us its too late and hes KUs. Get bent

On the actual recruiting note. Ill take him bc it looks like he could be around more than a year. Would prefer a proven player but a multi year guard not a bad option

Did you just put baby in a corner? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Dude, I’ll come pick some of that stuff up this weekend, if the price is reasonable. Looking at that post, I won’t question the quality either. Me likey!

Why do people keep leaving off Mcdaniels but putting on Blackshear. We have a much bigger shot at Mcdaniels then Blackshear . I'd put a little money on Mcdaniels coming here while I wouldn't touch a bet on Blackshear ending up here. I think if he were to come back to college we would be in the running but I don't think he does.

Its almost like because he is so quiet that people think Mcdaniels isn't coming to Uk but think about it - when was the last time a recruit was really quiet and UK was in his top 2 and he didn't come here . Follows the Knox , Murray , Skal , Bam blue print to a T. A Kid who is leaving home and keeps it quiet to avoid backlash until he is ready.

This is starting to sound really favorable for UK. If we get Juzang and manage to add Blackshear, then we'll be a legit two deep at every position...provided Montgomery and Richards return. If Allen is able to play, we'll be in even better shape. Quickly and Maxey are pretty good shooters. Juzang and Allen are really good shooters. And Sestina can step out there and make some shots too. It will be nice to have multiple shooters on the floor at the same time.

This would still be a relatively young team and I'd love to see us add one more grad transfer for experience, but this is a team that should have a very legit chance of winning a title. This would be a deep team that could withstand a potential injury without disaster. It would have a good mix of talent/experience. It would be a tall, athletic team. And it should be a team that is above average in terms of Cal's UK teams in terms of shooting. This would be a very solid squad with very few weaknesses.

Not that it really matters, but where do you guys think he will be ranked after the reclassification?

Juzang would be a nice get.

Hopefully we get him, we could use another shooter/scorer.

Hagans, Maxey, and Quickley rotating at the 1 and 2. Juzang gets a few minutes at the 2 as well.

Whitney and Juzang at the 3. Plus Allen, if he doesn't redshirt and fully recovers.

Brooks and Sestina at the 4. Or maybe McDaniels, with Sestina playing mostly at the 5.

Then hopefully we get Montgomery and/or Richards back at the 5 or get one back and add Blackshear.

Should be interesting.

I've been reading a little bit about him. He's half Vietnamese, he has an older brother playing ball at Harvard, and his high school is in a wealthy part of Los Angeles in north Hollywood. Apparently his father is CEO of a healthcare staffing company and his mother is a financial advisor.

Supposedly he's wanting to be a one-and-done, but it won't be for financial reasons. Sounds like his family is pretty wealthy.


(but we all know he'll leave after one year no matter what)
