Davis adjusting? 100%, yes. But Booth? he played in the ACC. that's pretty much on par with what he'll see for us. now, will he take a step or three up? much better question, IMO

One of my favorite Ron Swanson scenes ever.
If things don't work out with Kasparas over the next week or so...
how likely is it that we get a commitment from Will Riley and he reclasses? How much is that in play...and how much of a possibility is that if we don't land Kasparas?
Seems like we're pretty determined to add a talented 17 y/o to develop...

Sounds like he's a scrappy defender. Real high IQ, gym rat type, sneaky athletic.
They'd all be dialing wrong numbers
The way that I see Booth is that he could play multiple positions and get quite a bit of playing time. 4-5 or maybe even the 3 at times.
While we're on the "de-commit watch" topic...

Is Dre Davis de-committing still a possibility?
He looked pretty good for Seton Hall this year in booty ball. Would be the perfect add booty ball wise imo. Could def. have a Marcus type impact...

It’s time we up our 5 Stars game.
It'll be over a week for Kasparas
Hmmm...Ok then...Thought LVille said that if we were gonna land a commitment from him it'll be in the next week...
Anyways...
We seem highly likely to add a 17 y/o developmental guy with high potential. He seems like our main target in that category currently...

If Booth had been the apple of our recruiting eye for a year+ on the trail (and he would have been if we'd pursued him, he was rated higher than Hansberry), and he'd had the exact same freshman year in an Illini uniform, we'd be falling all over ourselves projecting him to explode into All-American status.
The Humrichous porridge is too hot, but the Booth porridge is too cold.
And at least this once, ChiefGritty is just right.

Can I join but without the sarcasm? I’ll file a separate concurring opinion.

South Bend kid, we offered awhile ago and he's visited:
Concerning thing to me is when this bleeds over to prep commits. Why would early commits like Fears keep their word when this happens? Surely that phase will start almost immediately following portal madness.
I'd imagine this kid will be quite difficult. Being from Kentucky, just outside Lexington, Calipari went to Arkansas, Antigua went to Illinois, Kentucky is still home. And that's on top of the rest of the nation trying to land him.

No. It's really not.
I'm fairly confident this will be my sole contribution to the thread this week that will be even remotely useful (and that in itself is a stretch):

really good article (probly a bit old, no date, but still germane) about 2027 super prospect, Jaylen Mitchell: https://eu.courierpress.com/story/s...lan-mitchell-has-four-d-i-offers/70412511007/

Honestly think that's one of the main benefits of Fears enrolling in January and redshirting.
Yes, he gets to spend 5-6 extra months practicing with college players, learn the system, and work with Fletch but he also would be subject to the transfer portal deadlines.
Nobody would be able to come in late and get him to change his mind. If he's not enrolled then he could decommit after the transfer portal deadline has ended and I think up until the fall semester.
