Hunter and Lapray visit this weekend and would both be great recruits. They are both 3 stars. Lapray was a Rice recruit out of high school but went to Oregon. Had a torn hip flexor not sure if he had surgery, took medical retirement but decided to come back this spring. Pepperdine has had some transfers as well besides him. He has a you tube video where he looks great shooting, dunking, using either hand but is unguarded. Hunter is more slightly built and the P5's seem to have backed off. Getting both would really fill a hole in the roster. As discussed previously it is still puzzling why the mass exodus. The players clearly loved Peera. The ones leaving played many minutes and some may end up in programs with even smaller crowds. I understand Evans, wants a bigger stage, Egor and Jackson graduated but the others not at all. I think some of these kids and all over the country may not see the big picture. The NBA is now a league of freakish players. Point guards are 6-1 to 6-6. Shooting guards 6-4 to 6-7.
Small forwards 6-7 to 6-10. And so on. The league wants 6-7 guys that can create off the dribble. Only 7 footers have a better than 2 % chance of making the league.
By the time you are 18 or 19 you know your size unless you are David Robinson.
Enjoy your college career get a degree you might play in Europe or Israel, China or South America but if you don't have the measurables now even wingspan good luck.
It would be interesting to look up the Kentucky one and dones in a few years and see what happened. Rice will probably always get the players who are on the smaller size for their positions but with good coaching can probably be a 16 to 20 win team every year.
