Not really surprising considering the best HS players go there. All Cal did was not screw it upKentucky is still pumping out NBA superstars, which in the end is the most important thing for these kids.

He would be a great recruiting pitch, but even better would be Curbelo. If I’m a big guy and I see this dude, I’m excited about playing with a guy like that. Curbelo is always looking to get Kofi involved.I wonder if Kofi will be apart of the Zoom call? BIG freshman of the year followed by NBA Draft the next year.
Finkle is Einhorn.... Einhorn is Finklecough< Gritty> cough
But no legit shot bc QC says there is one right people? Geez. I should just copy and paste my football thread post. If you don't like what is said then ignore it. Recruiting
...especially in basketball...is VERY FLUID. People will be wrong. OUR OWN STAFF HAS BEEN WRONG.
Kedrick Price on Twitter saying there's contact between the staff and Burnett and there's mutual interest there. As Indy said probably unlikely but glad we are being aggressive with talented transfers
This staff is always working.
Sounds like Cal is tired of losing lolWas able to talk with a staff source, they are under the impression that Oscar is down to 4 schools and will decide between Miami, NC State, Illinois, and Kentucky.
As stated earlier, Miami and NC State Zoom with him tonight. With Illinois and UK to follow tomorrow. With UK getting the last zoom late tomorrow night.
Some recruiting news. Oscar having Zooms with Miami and NC State tonight.
Zooming with UK and Illinois tomorrow.
Tennessee, WKU and Memphis trying to set up Zooms as well.
Still don’t think he’s coming but anything can happen.
Since my post could be construed as an attack on ProfQC I should clarify something... If you bleed orange and blue; I welcome you. Let’s just keep our basketball program winning because the end of last season and the start of this has been a real highlight of the last decade.But no legit shot bc QC says there is one right people?

Yes, we're currently at 13 scholarships.Since they’re both mid season transfers, how would scholarship numbers work out? Aren’t we at 13 now or am I wrong?
Can't he be our 4?Not gonna get all wound up again on OT. But he'd be a helluva replacement for Kofi. Thing is, it's gonna be a hard sell if it's not clear that Kofi's gone. And I think that's as clear as mud.
Same thing w/Burnett. Would love to have him. Adding Burnett to Miller & Curbelo? Yes, please!
Mebbe. Not sure if he's grown his game since HS. Back then I'd consider him strictly a 5. Thing is, if he's gonna make the NBA, it'll be as a 4. Hence, there'd be incentive. Kofi & OT together? Think I'd watch that.Can't he be our 4?
Can you imagine practice? Banging off of Kofi for a half year to get ready ....power forward. He can be a 5 in a year. It would increase his status.Mebbe. Not sure if he's grown his game since HS.

Random thought, most teams should be able to go 10 deep if they have Srs. coming back. Maybe more.Yes, we're currently at 13 scholarships.
However, these two guys would prospectively be mid-season transfers with eligibility only for the 2021-22 season and beyond. They're forfeiting eligibility for the remainder of the current season. And I'm quite sure we'll be allowed to go above 13 scholarships next year due to the Covid rule (i.e. Loren Tate said he expects both Trent and DaMonte to return for a 5th season.)
We have 4 scholarship seniors. So if I'm interpreting everything correctly:
Goode replaces Ayo
Tshiebwe theoretically replaces Kofi
Burnett theoretically replaces Trent
TBD/OPEN replaces DaMonte
Trent and DaMonte then return with their 5th year of eligibility and we're allowed to exceed the scholarship limit by 2. Thus we could perhaps have a scholarship roster of 15 next season. Further, 2020-21 would not count against any player's eligibility (e.g. Curbelo returns as a FR; BBV returns for his third FR season!).
Not really sure that is an advantage. More pieces, more complications in chemistry.Random thought, most teams should be able to go 10 deep if they have Srs. coming back. Maybe more.

One of my favorite highlight tapes I’ve seen since I started following recruiting heavily. I definitely think most around here preferred him to Kofi at the time.
Man if they get Oscar and Burnett that would be a great recovery from missing Mac and the Weston/jones/nesbitt/tyty wing group that was just missed. Oscar was great during his senior season. I recall him having a great workout in front of the fans during his Illinois visit.Yes, we're currently at 13 scholarships.
