seminoles1 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I still don't understand the concept of a super team in college. If two 5*s have already committed to a school and I'm a 5*, I'm looking elsewhere. It makes more sense in the NBA when you've already been paid, but going to a team with so many talents really limits your ability to showcase your own abilities. Obviously it works sometimes, but I'm not risking that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great long term piece though as he should be a 3-4 year player for Roy. We have one scholarship left. Keeling is going to get it if he wants it. The others up for it are Precious Achiuwa (doubtful - think he ends up at Memphis), Rayjon Tucker or, lastly, Justin Pierce. I still prefer Tucker to Keeling but I'm okay with Keeling. G Anthony | Black | FrancisG Woods | Harris | PlatekG/F Keeling | Robinson | RushF Brooks | ManleyF/C Bacot | Huffman Looks like a Sweet 16 team at best tho. Would be so much nicer had we not done the stupid thing and given Shea Rush a scholarship. Then we could've double dipped in the Grad Transfer market. Pulling Keeling AND Tucker/Pierce would've been so much better. Rush replaced Stilman White as the WTF scholarship on the team. I heard that Tucker doesn't have the grades and wouldn't be able to qualify at UNC. Would Keeling start at the 3? Isn't he like 6'1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Most of these kids know that you need to be on a talented team to win too. Plus, they're going to be playing with the best players in the world in the near future so if they're already avoiding competition in favor of being "the man" I'd say that's a bad sign.

Anthony/Bacot will be one of the best duos in the country, as long as your role players can hit shots and play defense you guys will be good.

He could feasibly be back by ACC play but I'm not holding my breath for non-conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madridista Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) @RandyMossIsBoss I assume UVA doesn't actually have a shot at Johnny Juzang? Is he a 1 and done? Edited April 25, 2019 by Madridista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a never say never kinda guy, but yeah this has UK written all over it. If a guy reclassifies AND is about to pick a school, you know he's already made his choice... and UK has been the early favorite. Only thing keeping me from thinking it's 100% UK is the fact that there's gonna be some real competition for PT unless Quickley transfers, but then again he's probably seen how Booker, Murray and Herro came to UK and then far surpassed their pre-season draft projections. Definitely looks to be a 1 and done, especially if he goes to UK. Long + good shooter. 3 and D NBA wet dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventh Woods is transferring. Looks like we'll pull Keeling and Pierce after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need another guard now. There's a few decent ones in the transfer portal but we've only been linked to only Tucker (like you said, grades), Pierce and Keeling.
