What Clarke does to the recruitment of Green and Christopher is the biggest question to me. Do the two split and go to other schools or can we land all three together because those three with Boston and Fletcher put us in amazing shape and lets us focus on big men Todd, Ware and maybe a Grad transfer or two. I just hope Clarke signs up and that we land at least one of the two. Getting both makes for one of the best classes Cal has ever had.
We don't know who will return, but it seems that 2-3 is what most think and are hoping for. I would be really thrilled if Green and Christopher are good with Clarke, but I don't know if they have any ties, friendship with him. I think enough guys want to play with Boston and that helps. If somehow they can decide to all play together I would be more then thrilled to see a 2020 team of:
Quickly?
Juzang?
Allen--Should be back.
Boston-committed.
Fletcher-committed.
Green-Biggest mystery, but sounds like UK, Memphis and Over Seas.
Christopher-I still think we land him.
Clarke-Everything points to UK.
Todd-I feel like this is a must get and we are about 50/50 with him.
Jackson or Brown-I think we land one even though we have to beat Mich St or TX. Brown says he wants to win a title and play with the best and that isn't happening at TX. We have a good track record with TX. I feel like some of the luster of Shaka is wearing off after having such good big men and having little to no success. Bama and Jarrett Allen were wasted there and I hope our guys are pointing that out to him in recruiting although I don't think UK recruits negatively against other schools like they do us.
Ware-I think we land him with so much frontcourt time available.
And maybe a grad transfer or JJ although that would be a pretty stout team. I would love to get Nick and Brooks back also, but I believe Brooks blows up this year so I think we only get one back out of Brooks and Juzang.
