2019/20 recruiting

[Shell21]

Figured we could talk about recruiting in this thread .
I may be wrong but do we have one more spot to fill for next year ? If so , I’m assuming it will go to a big or versatile wing . For 2020, I know we are in with a bunch of guys but who do we have a great chance with ? I’m hoping Cliff from IC . We also need someone versitile to replace Eugene which will be a huge loss .

Think we’re still targeting 6-7 combo forward Mickey Pearson for the 2019 spot. Pretty clear Pike is building the team to have a lot of interchangeable parts - so lots of guys in the 6-5 to 6-8 range who can defend multiple positions and can shoot.

Next year will be interesting. I think there will be more than one spot.

 

[Shell21]

That’s right. Forgot about Pearson . Would be a good fit for what we’re trying to do . Versatile big who isn’t a one dimensional post player .

Chuck Pearson's kid?

Playing time will always be a primary issue in deciding to transfer.There will be many players capable of playing either guard position and small forward next season.

Higgins ,
Is that a guess or you have some info ?

For next year? At least so far, no one obvious jumps out.

For the following year, I'm pretty sure the crunch for minutes at guard will shake someone loose.

 

[Shell21]

I’m thinking next year we’ll have to press and push tempo even more to take advantage of our guard depth and the number of guys who can really play .

Also , I’m thinking by adding all of these versatile interchangeable parts if Pike wants to be able to switch 1-4 defensively . Always makes for s big advantage of you can do it effectively

Total guess. Just thinking about the amount of guards. It’s just a personal opinion. The program is bringing in high hopes with Paul Mulcahy. Then Jacob young. In the nba you can run first team and second team. I don’t see the ncaa as having that same flexibility. It’s only forty minutes and you have to play the best.

Chuck Pearson's kid?

Considering he was Chuck Person...no

Just a guess but I agree with this.

 

[Shell21]

I know it’s early but who are the best shots in 2020 class ? Obviously we need to target some bigs

How do you know his Dad's name isn't Charles?

I don’t know how good of a shot we have, but I think Pike is targeting Cliff Omoruyi for a 2020 big.

And 6-8 combo forward Matt Zona.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

I love the Chuck Person thread within a thread.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

All I know is Pearson isn’t Person brah

 

[bowlgoal]

My opinion is the roster will continually be tweaked.

 

[BellyFullOfWhiteDogCrap]

All I know is Pearson isn’t Person brah

Pearson was a person

 

[SkilletHead2]

I don’t know how good of a shot we have, but I think Pike is targeting Cliff Omoruyi for a 2020 big.

Ari's kid?

 

[briccnerff]

Maybe Wesley Petson’s Kid?

I read some stuff this weekend. I think ru will have a good shot at Omoruyi. I would not be surprised if they took targeted every kid with the last name Omoruyi in the future.

 

[RutHut]

Eugene's kid?

 

[MadRU]

 

[DirtyRU]

Eugene's kid?

Hahahahaha!!!

 

[Good-Knight]

We're recruiting Chuck Taylor's kid?

 

[RUsojo]

2020 is really important. Really excited about the potential for that class.
