Was perusing some mock draft stuff and found SBJ at #59 on the ESPN big board.

My buddy that coaches juco basketball gets call all time does he have any guards that are 6 foot 4. Coaches are looking for length these days.
Keep giving me the Sharife Cooper's and the Jared Harper's of the world all day at PG. I've seen too many Jameer Nelson/Damian Stoudamire/Kyle Lowry/Isaiah Thomas types. Hell Chris Paul is listed at 6' and I've been in a room with him and he ain't a centimeter over that. I understand the reason they want length, I just think coaches get stupid and reach for it. Take a much worse player who is 5 inches taller because they convince themselves they can turn the kid into an elite player when an elite player is staring them in the face....and the shorter dude probably has had a better work ethic because he's had to all through the process, he's had that chip on his shoulder needing to prove he's good enough.
J Hoke and his boss are clearly pretty confident that young Sharife will be boogin in Lee County
Everything seems to be pointing that way, but I have a "I'll believe it when I see it" on any 5 star. And if that kid doesn't reclassify and is out there with the 2020 class he may be a top 10 recruit before it's over.
Bruce definitely wants guys to get drafted. He does not want guys to leave early to be drafted in the 2nd round though if there is a chance they could improve to the 1st round by returning. Chuma is not going to be a first round pick after the injury and can definitely move into the first round by returning next year. Even if Chuma had not been hurt and as expected was a mid to late 1st round projection, Bruce would have pitched him on the upside of returning to move into the lotto pick range since that would be a realistic possibility for him. On the other hand, if Jared was projected as a 2nd round pick this year, Bruce might tell him to go if he wanted to given that it was unlikely he could ever move into the first round.
Yikes. You lose 3 out of the last 6 games to the boogs and you have to start recruiting grad transfer chalkies.
Dude looks like a scrub to my eye. Guess Cal wouldn’t bring in a bum but decidedly not HYG material imo.
Reminder that our boy Fatz has already done the breakdown on this scrub. Not a likely contributor for our boogs.
yeah... if he wants to go lumber around the half court for a team that has to slow it down and win rock fights because they’re not capable of playing the game the way it was meant to be played - then best of luck to the kid, and props to him for recognizing his limitations and finding a soft landing spot
he ain’t built to Boog
I'm confused by what Cal is doing. His answer to not having enough experience to go with all his freshmen NBA talent every year is going to be finding below the rim playing, chalkie 5's now? This guy looks like a version of Reid Travis that isn't going to get as many rebounds but can shoot a little better. Not a rim protector. Not athletic enough to switch on SEC guards.
I'm very much not understanding what he's doing
Baby Sharife giving Jared respect on insta. I guess this kid is just all Boog without a signature
uggggggggghhhhhhhh. Sounds like a lot of shit is just falling into plan. Like little Sharife was giving Jared his moment. And now Sharife is about ready to publicly pull the trigger. Oh baby, c'mon.
I gotta think that Sharife is under six feet tall as well. Gotta think that he's a two year player at least. Maybe not though if he really does fuggin light it up
this kid an Okoro rotating at the three would be fuggin scary. I know he's palying against trash comp but there's no denying what type of ridiculous athlete this child is. Plus he shoots 41% from three while shooting 6 a game.
Well if Sharife is reclassifying, there goes UK's chance of getting him
I need answers to this. I don’t believe a thing pillhead Jeff says anymore because he’s being shut out of the AD when it comes to info on recruits.
Pursuing this Rayjon Tucker dude tells me that they’re counting on someone else to leave or young Allen Flannigan asked to grey shirt or something. Throw dad a “final four bonus” that covers his tuition for the year and we basically could have 14 scholly players
Hopefully it is just Wiley, though in that scenario it seems like we would need another 5.
Wonder what that does for Nick Richards and EJ Montgomery. They both took a back seat to Reid Travis late in the year. Now they’re bringing in another guy at their spot.
Any of our UK brethren have any insight here? @BlueWorldOrder74 @CATabulous @CHAMPCAT11 @IL Wildcat @Myron Gaines
Bump. @cookedw do something useful for a change
Look at the top 25 recruits for 2020 and just assume we are in the running.
Whatever happened to Keon Johnson out of TN? His mom played at Auburn and he took an official.
Says we lead for Cooper and are in the top 2 for Boston with Duke.
Most interesting nugget is that he has a source who is confident Harper will return. In conjunction with that quote from his dad regarding his decision to leave being based on the thought he will be drafted, I would take that as a positive sign he could return if he is not invited to the combine/does not receive a 2nd round grade.
Duf, it will be interesting to see what happens here. I fully expect both Montgomery and Richards to return. Montgomery has a huge upside and has the potential to be a star in the SEC. Although his minutes were reduced drastically this year due to the arrival of Travis, Richards had some moments where he shined, and moments when he looked downright lost. Nick didn’t start playing basketball until he was 14 or 15 years old. With that being the case, he is a raw talent who is still learning and developing his game. Of the two, Nick would be the one who I could see potentially transferring, but I don’t think he will. Even with the addition of Sestina, there will be plenty of minutes available at the 4 & 5 spot. We are still in the running for Matthew Hurt and Jaden McDaniels. If we were to sign one of them to the class, then the whole dynamic could change resulting in Richards entering the transfer portal. We will we soon find out.
