It's encouraging that JB hasn't signed with anyone else. He's still a longshot, but we have reason to be optimistic. "Don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F@*k things up."

I think the uncertainty of sitting a year at a Kentucky type school while other 5 stars get to play ahead of you or get recruited may swing it in the Pack's favor. Regardless I wish him the best, I feel he was done a disservice by his usage last year and I want to see the kid succeed, hopefully in the Silver and Blue...

I don’t know why he’s so concerned about where he plays for a year, as long as he starts and is challenged by the competition. Or who knows, maybe he plays 2 more years. If we get everyone back but JB, I don’t think it’s going to matter that much. In fact, if we had a young prospect on a quick learning curve that would be around for 4 years, that spot would probably make more sense to invest in that player.

I wonder if Hymes staying will help tilt the needle in our direction. JB wants to play the 4. Perhaps Hymes can play the 5. Regardless, Hymes, Harris, Parrish & Johnson is a pretty good group to build around. "Don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F@*k things up."

I wonder when we’ll start seeing signs of Alford offering recruits and the status of them. I know he’s been swamped, but any good coach would’ve started recruiting already. We sure could use a couple of good grad transfers, and one with 2 years to play would be even better. What do you think the chances are that Drew can play this season? I’d think it’s gotta be reasonable if he’s looking at other schools to play for. I can’t remember for sure what the max time is for a medical red shirt. 1 year? Now that I think about it, he should still have his red shirt unless he used it last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t looked at Alford’s past teams much but a coach as good as him adjusts style to players abilities. Neither Hymes nor Brown are true centers like Carvacho or Porter so I could see more of the “positionless” basketball we saw under Muss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaredcg Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I think will start to see more guys take officials in the next week too. Alford has gotten guys to return and now guys are starting to visit. Love the first visit is quality HS kid too. With 5 scholarships (if all return) can get a nice blend of transfers and HS guys still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
