And still he was massively better than any/all of the PGs Groce pulled.
Well yes that is why we all were so damn sour pussed about it. Groce was terrible suffice to say.

That's probably not entirely fair. Groce pulled in Trent Frazier originally. He was just fired before Trent could play for him. Also, Te'Jon Lucas is having a pretty good career now. It's hard to say how he would have compared had he stayed in a major conference.
Otherwise, I agree.
So we seem to be halfway there to having a solid Caribbean pipeline going thanks to OA. Did he get many of these kids to go to UK??? My memory isn't the greatest but I am thinking no.... I don't recall there being (m)any players from there being 5 star type players, so they wouldn't likely fit the UK persona. But if we can extend/keep OA here and reel in the Pinzon/Jones/Reyes types I think we can make a legitimate claim to having an established pipeline. If this were to become a thing I honestly think we can build ourselves into a Gonzaga clone of sorts! What do you think???
Yep, he played on their national team.Off the top of my head, I'm fairly certain Karl-Anthony Towns is at least part Dominican.

Of course we wouldn't do as well as them you realize, there is the whole conference thing and all...... But I would absolutely be ecstatic if we could field a team of as talented players year in, and year out, as Gonzaga does. :thumb:Exactly...keep it up staff!
No Christie tonight. Scheduling issue. No AJ Casey either, who was a target to visit with the staff tonight as well...

It isn't that big of deal. Hoping to get him down for Indiana or Iowa. AJ also was never really sure he could make it today but he tried to.Not ideal.

Duke remains my main concern for these gentlemen+1
They'll make it down at some point. Nothing to be concerned about.

Very much respect your opinion. I will remain safely skepticalDuke isn't my main concern for either of them.
Both recruitments are winnable at this point.
Agreed. Trent would run circles in that league...just like Nunn did...regardless of how terrible someone thinks Trent is comparatively.I think you’re missing the point.
Ah, I saw that movie, way back when....
What numbers are you comparing? Lucas is averaging 16 points at 26% usage in a conference where the best team is worse than every team in the Big Ten except Nebraska. Frazier is averaging 9.5 points at 15% usage. Sure, Lucas has a higher assist rate, but his turnover rate is almost 10% higher.
I have no ill-will toward Lucas and I'm glad he's found success after Illinois. But given the choice between the two, I'll take Frazier every time.
