Did you reply to yourself to add on to the previous comment or on accident?
No idea, he never really jumped out to me As an elite player and rumor was he was a handful behind the scenes. His injury only set him further back. I’ve only seen him a couple times but wasn’t that impressed considering who our PG’s usually are.
You do realize that mis predicting players’ potentials has nothing to do with recruiting info.
The dude brings solid recruiting and program info. He’s right more than wrong on that stuff.
The rest is just you going off on a red herring trying to discredit him. Try not to be so sensitive and learn to separate conversations from each other so they dont unnecessarily impact one another. It just sounds/looks silly.

LOL! A UK fan would NEVER get visibly agitated by other UK fans proclaiming that UK, not Duke, was the biggest draw in CBB. NEVER. Yet you, supposedly a UK fan, just did!
How long are you going to keep this petty charade going? I’ll be watching in amusement.

Traditionally he would be a 3, and I think he'll end up being a 3. But as a freshman I think I would much prefer him as a 4. I'm concerned that he doesn't shoot it well enough yet for my taste as a 3 (give me another Grady at the 3). And he has the size and build to play PF in college (roughly the same as Brooks and Hopkins), at least until the perimeter shot becomes a more consistent weapon. But that's just my bias. If Livingston or Hopkins as a freshman were playing the 3, however, I think it would be really important that the PG and 2G were good perimeter shooters.
But Hopkins wouldn’t be leaving because of incoming freshman Livingston. He would be leaving because of returning Toppin, Brooks, Collins, AND Livingston. That would be like 5 forwards. We’re very crowded at that position.
Agree. And I won't be surprised to see Hopkins and/or Livingston play mostly 3, if they earn PT.
Although as pointed out above, to play a more traditional 3 then we need a good shooter at the PG. Thus if Wheeler returns, it would be hard to play a traditional 3 (unless he can also shoot, i.e. Prince or Miller) when Wheeler is on the floor.
Assuming Cal does not go back to the platoon (would love if we had the roster that forced Cal to do that again because it did work so well), then we know Cal max's out at playing about 8 guys. We can't count them yet, way to many unknowns on who will be here, but unless we lose say 2 of those 4 forwards who could return, it may be hard for Livingston to play significant (>10mpg) minutes next year.
After watching Hopkins this year I have no idea what makes people think he’s a 3. He’s large, doesn’t dribble well, isn’t a great outside shooter, and isn’t particularly quick. How is that a 3?? Toppin is faster and quicker and shoots just as well. We need a Grady or Frederick at 3 with Wheeler and Wallace at the 1 or 2. That’s just better bball. Hopkins at the 3 is like bball from 1995
Any correlation with the fact that Cal went to visit Wagner and a couple of days later Clark decommits? Did Cal learn Wagner is going to reclassify and along with Wheeler coming back would be a log jam at PG?
With Clarke gone (and maybe Sharpe), there's an opportunity for adding another guard, but Wheeler has really turned around his shooting. He's now at 32.6% on 3s this year. By comparison, Grady is at 43.1%, Mintz is at 35.3%, and Washington is at 33.7%.
If Wheeler shoots 33% again next year and Wallace puts up a comparable percentage, I'm comfortable with Fredrick being the sniper with his 46.6% career 3-pt shooting percentage. Livingston was shooting above 33% at Oak Hill last I checked, so if he shoots even as bad as MKG did, we should be okay if we could add another outlet. Toppin or Brooks could extend their range as well from the 4.
I got the impression that the Clark situation had been coming on for a while. But if what you're saying is correct then I pray you're also correct that Wheeler will be back. No way I want a reclassified kid starting at PG.
Ashton Hagans was a re-class for his freshman year. As was Murray, who would've been fine at PG.
I'm not sure that Murray (Canadian system, so he was a year older, right?) would have been great at PG that season. But you might be right that he would have been ok. A freshman Hagans is not what I want as a starting PG.
I think Hagans just reclassified to his right class though .
DJ Wagner is in his correct class so he would he pretty young .
He was also 19, almost 20 years old. Even as a reclass. He was old for a freshman.
Did you just quote yourself? Forget to log out lol?
For a team like us, well worth the risk. We arent Kentucky and cant pick and choose. If it doesnt work out, he'll find somewhere else to play the year after. Such is life now in the NCAA.
Their decision is none of my or your business. It isn't any of their business what you choose to do or not do either.
I don't know what planet you live on but everyone has the right to free speech in this country.
While I don't agree with what they did, it was well within their right to do it.
I literally asked that a day or 2 ago.
People think he’s a 3 because he is 6’6. Some people can’t stand the thought of a 4 that is under 6’8.
I don't see much of a difference between Brooks and Hopkins. I'm fine with either staying and I'm ambivalent if either decides to move on.
Toppin is the one who will break out next season.
Toppin is the one who will break out next season.
Hey guys this is way a 5 star talent is better than leftover guards. Btw those Grady and Mintz guys who say get the leftover guys that transfer play for small town college schools is better to have than real talent at a high level is dumb and just wrong. Btw guys 1-14 shooting for mintz and Grady today.
Picking U6 or EewTee should certainly make this board a little busier.
