class of 2016 Juco PG & Juco Center and we have a class. I don't really want a class of 6 freshman unless it is absolutely the best out there.

Originals, Prequels, or Cartoons?
This stuff matters.

RE: Champlin - Haase: UAB Builds Heck of a Foundation
I feel like Haase is recruiting a ton of athletes, much like CMA. It seems Haase is doing better than CMA in terms of recruiting some of the top talent. Not that recruiting rankings always mean much, but it is encouraging.
I'm hopeful that the success with the current players and these we have signed can be used to help build on our recruiting so that a 4-star caliber guy like Lee becomes almost common place.

Nerds make more money than you regular joes.

I don't think CMA and Haase are recruiting the same type of player. All CMA needed was a player who would fit his system. Not necessarily the top ranked players. Anyway, I'm just glad Haase recruiting is 100x better than Davis recruiting. It is the reason I see big things for the future of the program for the first time in a long time. Never believed in Davis after a few years of watching.
Also, I think Haase has all he needs with what he has so far. Anything else, would be icing on the cake.

I agree overall. Still think we could do better in terms of getting some pure shooters to go along with our athletes. Calhoun is a good start. Also would love to get an AJ or Squeaky caliber PG. Frazier is promising but he will be gone in a couple years. Maybe Watts will really continue to develop and fill that role. Definitely think we are in great position in the 3, 4, and 5 spots for years to come.

I like Watts at point better than Frazier anyway. I think we should make the switch.
