I'm sorry but I cant endorse a recruit with this high of a pun/
ratio. Already becoming insufferable.

That's dirty.
Do we like any of these guys? I guess Harrar and Buttrick are big-ish bodies and experienced. Not sure I’m sold they move the needle for us.
Only the wings
Hard to properly eval kids this year for obvious reasons. BU loves the kid thoughDoesn't appear that Bass is rated very highly in the recruiting services rankings...somewhere around #200+. In thevideo I've seen he looks better than that.

If Bass can really play point, that would be great. As we've seen with Ayo, height/reach can cause trouble. A season as an understudy, then big minutes (assuming he's up to the challenge).
With all the kids were in on....naw
Yeah Bass looks great. We were after Ty Ty big time before he blew up. Curbelo Goode Melendez and others look to be like they are much better than their rankings indicated too. I think our staffs talent evaluation is a real strength.

I'd take Harrar as an enforcer type player. Rest are too redundant with what he have or what we are recruiting.
JMO from watching video I really like him as a combo guard.

So, you could say he's a hybrid Bass?

Well, here’s one for the future if we get him (I intentionally did not say “land”):
If he gets a T for trash talking: “We gotta get that big mouth Bass reeled in.”
And...my apologies

Agree on Reggie Bass! (caveat: based on one highlight video I watched)
He's got a Trent Frazier toolkit of abilities but with greater length (6'5") and muscle. Maybe one of those Baylor guards that hurt us in December is a better comp.
-uses his dribble to get past his defender
-sees the floor and willing passer
-athletic finish at the rim
-bet he'd be a good defender on-ball and in team concept based on his floor awareness and energy
-willing 3 point shooter (perhaps room to improve, he didn't look overeager or like a deadeye shooter yet)
I'm sold.
We had a long run of 6'3" guards that were ballers but struggled against bigger players in the Big Ten. I thought we had similar difficulty in the Dec 2020 Baylor matchup the way they pressured our guards. I like that the staff is going after perimeter players with more size.
Helps to have 6’5” guards when you are playing three of them.
Been in constant contact with Jaden Hardy for awhile now....still think he goes G league but interesting development there in the last month or so
I really hope we hook Reggie Bass. Ok sorry this wasn’t very good
Bass seems like a more athletic hybrid. (sorry)

Love that our staff will go anywhere for the kids they want. No boundaries, no provincialism, love it.
You anglers might just be happy on Friday and I'm not talking about a double digit win over Drexel.
