2017 Basketball Recruiting Thread

We're in a lot better shape then we were 3 weeks ago. Kudos to Larry and the staff for a nice rebound.

We need better than Rawson when it comes to front-court players who can shoot the 3. We really need Kuzma back.

We're not going to threaten Arizona for the top spot in the league next year. We might not even improve on our fourth-place finish. But the league will be more competitive (ie, not so top heavy) and that will help us. Now, if we schedule up and not stand pat, next year could be really fun. I still insist we have to make the Dance next year to keep Larry's seat luke-warm at worst heading into 2018-19 -- a deep NIT run ain't gonna solve that.

Hear hear. IMO, Rawson has been a meaningful disappointment.

With the resurgence of USC and Stanford (top-15 recruiting class), and other P12 programs' purported highly ranked recruits, it's going to be a fight just to be in the top half. Other than WSU and Washington (temporary because of coaching), I think pretty much every other P12 programs have higher ranked recruiting class coming in. Of course, proof is in the pudding. The next three years will be very interesting.
