Bummer that he likely won't reclass.... but welcome aboard!

 

[Jamal Mercer]

We needed a ‘24 class signing but we will not be physical at all at the 4-5 spots this coming season.

Will be a huge issue.

 

[JST390-2]

Heck yeah !!!! Cal will get him to reclassify

 

[Cayts69]

Still need a big body for this year… hm

 

[J-Ryan]

We need him this year.

 

[bookerfan66]

Well this sucks.Was hoping for him to come this season.

 

[J-Ryan]

Doubt it. If that was the plan they wouldn’t have come out and said he wasn’t gonna do it

Read Branham post again …he suggested it’s still up in the air

 

[Thunder Mash]

Being that a source close to Cyril said he won't reclassify, I'm thinking it *may* be a cover-up until he does. I recall other reclass guys denying a jump to college until it actually happened.

 

[JST390-2]

Also according to Ben Roberts the classes he’s taking don’t finish for a few more weeks

I hope you’re right either way

1. Somto is a good prospect to get.
2. But can't go into 2023 season with just Bad-Foot-Bradshaw, Burks, Ugo and Tre Mitchell......that ain't going to work for next year. You can't hardly argue this is a good enough group to play well along a very young backcourt.

 

[TyCatPrice14_anon]

Well...now what?

 

[bookerfan66]

Makes zero sense unless Cal has someone else in mind.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Recruits almost always say they aren't reclassifying until they do. That's part of the process. I bet he plays for us next season.

 

[bbnkat02]

Got excited, and then got mulled.

Maybe he will reclass. Still a good land.

 

[Lempface]

Yeah, it says unlikely to reclass, that doesn't mean no chance. Either way, I like the add.

Let’s go after Dante.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Now what ? We wait until the end of July to see what happens. WHY would he take classes to reclassify and everyone said he has pretty much done enough but just a few loose ends to qualify for the reclass, then not do it ? I will tell you. It is so he can officially commit to satisfy UK and come aboard, then when he finishes his coursework, he will THEN announce the move up to 23. Watch and see. Save this post and I will admit im.wrong if it doesn't happen.

Why would it make zero sense? You have a good 2024 commit if he can’t get the classes needed. Makes a lot of sense to me/

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I’m going to go ahead and dream……cal hires Martin and Dante comes with him. Let me have it.

Seems to me that the reclass is still a strong possibility, otherwise why is the kid taking the classes to do it? But if he doesn’t, see above.

It only makes "zero sense" if you take it at face value, which you shouldn't do.

Marvin Bagley said he wouldn't reclassify to 2017, and he did.

Jamal Murray's high school coach said he won't reclassify, and he did.

They say they won't do it until they do it.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Always sounded to me like it could be tough for him do the schoolwork required by July to qualify. Glad he’s committed though.

Well that would suck.We really need another big man this season.

 

[GoNoles111]

Wtf??

Murray was a reclass?? Holy crap I dont remember that. Damn he was so good.

 

[RunninRichie]

Dante has to be coming if he's staying in 2024, right?

 

[track42]

Kyle Tucker seems to doubt he will be able to reclass.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Stud, but damn, we could have really used him this season. If we get Dante though that obviously changes that.

Quite the opposite. He was and is ahead of schedule to reclass. It was stated he would not have any problems. Read my post a few above yours to explain the situation.

This.

 

[Dale Lybel]

Either class he ends up in, it's a good commitment. Also leaves open the chance to get Dante this year if he did elect to transfer.

To all the people saying we need more, how many is going to be enough? Ugo, Bradshaw, Mitchell, with Edwards, Burks and Thiero able to backfill them is a pretty solid arsenal of frontcourt players. Obviously, if Bradshaw is a no go, it changes things a bit. It sounds like that isn't an expectation though.

Obviously you are a not a card carrying member of the CHC.

Kyle Tucker doesn't seem to agree.

Exactly. How many times have we seen it? They all wait until after the Peach Jam.

Can Dante leave if just an assistant does?
