FYI, Tarris Reed Jr is a 6'-10" 230lb PF from STL. 4 Star, top 100 recruit (I wasn't familiar with him so I had to look him up). Seems like he would be a great get as he's got offers from MSU, IU, Creighton, UF. If we could land Boakye for 2021 and land Reed for 2022 we would have be pretty set at the 4/5 spot, assuming Boakye isn't a one and done (which he very well could be). Can't help but feel like BU is building toward something special here.
Would Enoch come if Kofi stays? Seems like it's going to be a waiting game to see what Kofi decides.
Doubtful. He wants to play. Wants a chance at the 1 and done.
I'm shocked so many guys signed early this year. Star players could decide to take a super senior year and the spot an incoming freshmen expected to have is now filled.

A few weeks ago, the word from “Kofi’s camp” lately had been just how much his stock has been absolutely SOARING! That he’s absolutely gone after this year! That Kofi had received some intel following a Nationally televised game where he heard definitively that some NBA teams starting to take a serious likings to him, as a potential first rounder...
Now, a few weeks later, that momentum seems to have plateaued a bit... with teams wanting him to take another year’s development, which could potentially mean MILLIONS of dollars for Kofi in his first few years in the league, depending on what he decides to do... stay or go
So I say all that to say this...
This is actually not the most accurate or up-to-date take on this.
Yes, Enoch wants to be a one and done. So did Adam Miller. But speaking over a situation with limited information is foolish... The hype on Enoch is exactly right..
Truth be told, Enoch is actually open to playing ALONGSIDE Kofi.
Actually, you would all be surprised to know that it’s Kofi doing some of the recruiting here!
Kof is the one lobbying for them to play together the most, encouraging Enoch that if he’s still here (which is looking stronger everyday) that they will be absolutely dominant together, and that Kofi can help bring him along! Just Like how Gorgi did for him...

Does anyone know much about the Tarris Reed Jr. Recruitment? It shows Michigan St. as the leader of 24/7 sports. 6'10 Jr. Top 150 Power Forward

Well QC, I can't say that I'm a 100% believer --- but what you outline above is the absolute best case scenario we could hope for in C-U. And I agree with another poster in that adding Burnett alongside Boakye would be an A+ class! This would certainly keep the momentum rolling and I think we'd have to be pre-season Top 5, along with Michigan.A few weeks ago, the word from “Kofi’s camp” lately had been just how much his stock has been absolutely SOARING!

And in the event this all comes to fruition, we have BU and Ayo to thank. What a fantastic example Ayo is for this program. He has played his cards perfectly over his 3-year career!!

We could definitely use a back-up PG to spot Curbelo, or play beside him on occasion (IMO, preferably a grad transfer). I get that Miller and, hopefully, Burnett will want to assume some ball-handling/facilitation responsibility to enhance their own pro prospects, but I still have PTSD from our recent history of traying to shoehorn wings and CGs into that role.
Not familiar with Reed’s recruitment. I saw him in districts last year before Covid (Chaminade- Luke Kasubuke’s senior year). As a sophomore you could see the potential. A bit lanky, not filled out yet, but you can see the skill. Now? Kid is a man-child. Plays with more assertiveness and intensity. Definitely got bigger. Still maintained the great footwork.

Well that seals it.
We’re screwed.

Most likely a hot shot
