NATIONAL SIGNING PERIOD NON-POWER LEVEL WINNERS

UAB
Rob Ehsan’s first year as a head coach has already been met with some adversity thanks to his starting lead guard, Nick Norton, going down with a torn ACL. There’s still hope for the future, both the short-term and the long-term, especially thanks to his 2017 class. Heading into the period, UAB already sat within the top of the league’s class rankings thanks to the commitments of Makhtar Gueye and Scootie Bryant. Both took a pass on higher level programs and because of it, should flourish day one in Birmingham. Adding both of their signatures this past week, the CUSA bunch went a step further in cementing its backcourt with the commitment of Luis Hurtado. While things had dropped off a bit with the 6-foot-5 guard, his playmaking skills and willingness to make others better should not be underrated, where, together, the three-man class should keep the Blazers atop of the league’s pecking order moving ahead.
So Luis Hurtado did sign with UAB?

Nobody knows for sure.
Why can't anyone wait for a press release.

Told he signed. Just waiting on the official papers....
It's like we have signed Schrodinger's point guard.
Gotta sign two 5th yr guys, a big (true big) and a scorer.

Except 5th year guys go where they are almost guaranteed to start. I don't think we could promise that. Moving Cokley to his natural PF position thereby sliding Lee to SF position might be possible, but otherwise... They, being quick fixes, also impede the development of younger players.

Yeah, I'd really like that forward from NY to commit, and then get a transfer or 5th year guy.

The big doesn't have to a world beater just a guy who can crash the boards whos proven. At this point the only young forward would be Gueye. And we have about 35 offers out for two spots now in 2018 since Nick and Lewis redshirts.

Live by the transfer, die by the transfer. Now that we have a nice string of four-year players in the pipeline, I'd rather they not shore up someone else's team in their final year.

Now it's official. We've got a really good class.
