At 6'3", you are far less likely to make the NBA as a SG. Anyone under 6'5"-6'6" really wants the ball in their hands. See Adam Miller.

He's just a sophomore that needs to catch up to his lanky frame. This is Kevin Durant in High School! He'll look much different in 2 years.

Am I correct in the fact that Skyy committed to DePaul and TA 2 years ago?

Committed to DePaul as an 8th grader. Poor kid. But here is your Tim Anderson connection folks.
If it’s a possibility you make the NIL an MIL and get it done!
Talent and team leadership would just be ridiculous!He did that just in case he goes. If he does, then he got to get honored and his family was there. If he comes back, he will be honored again next year. Really no reason not to if leaving is a semi-realistic option (which it was last year and will be again.)
That being said, I’d think if NIL money is decent he will be back. He’s still not being mocked in most drafts and especially not into spots with guaranteed contracts.
Some of yall way over think the “position” a kid plays and how they fit with other guys.
30+wins with that group and the supporting cast that will be around them.

Quite possibly, but I wanted to be conservative.

I would argue that a lineup with Plummer, Frazier and Curbelo has worked pretty darned well.
That's 3 undersized guards and two very skilled ball-handlers. Two of the three will be leaving. 6'3 Skyy Clark would probably fit really well and with Curbelo/Epps could give us one of the Top 5 guard combo's in the nation. (Dee and Deron were both lead guards).
Underwood said that both Kofi and Jake were going through senior ceremonies but that both had decisions to make after the season So yes it’s a possibility
Think of the Baylor squad that won the Natty last for comparison
His situation at LSU just becam a whole lot more dicey with the Wade Willams NCAA violation accusations

If I were to speculate......(particularly if Kofi departs)............
I'm thinking we transition to a quick, run-first, guard-oriented offense that puts up shots in 10-15 seconds.
* The more guards we have, the better
* RJ is going to excel in that run-style offense
* And Grandison/Goode/Podziemski are going to plop themselves at the 3-pt line and drill bombs all day long
* We'll need a couple of centers/big guys who can run the court (Dainja/Payne) and spell one another when winded
I believe Skyy would be welcomed with open arms.
I was there 3 years ago for Ayo's "senior night" and he came back. I and others around me thought Kofi participated in events that night, too but couldn't remember for sure
Believe right now we are at our scholarship max, assuming both Kofi and Jake leave. Not going to speculate on potential transfers and these things do tend to sort themselves out, just saying will need some pretty significant roster turnover if we get Skyy + Kofi and Jake return.
We are still trying to adapt to the new world of a 5* recruit going on a $500,000 ad campaign for a campus waffle house.

Man I missed that so thank you!
Do we know this is about Skyy? And if so, what does it mean? He's *leaning* our way? Or he's told the staff he's coming? Is there an actual timeline on his decision? ("That and many more questions to be answered on the next episode of ... Soap!")
We know the timeline on his decision: Mid-May.
