This is a good idea for a thread.

It's always hard to predict what individual players will do, but I agree with your projection as it relates to the caliber and position of players we are likely to land. I also think attrition could open up another slot, and I'd like to see Darius Days or a player like him join that group.

Days seems to want to play in the ACC. I think we could get someone else of similar caliber though.

I will be thrilled if we sign this class.

100% agree.
True point guard - Check
Wing/Shooter w/size - Check
Not sold on Vanover, but, truth be told, any 2018 "big" shouldn't be afraid of the upper class men currently on the roster playing those positions. I'd take Vanover in a heartbeat.

We have two true centers on the current roster so scrub all Centers but Vanover (he is a stretch center):

After adjusting for kids with offers from three or more P-5 or BE schools, below is the pool of possible recruits, IMO:
Damon Harge: 3-star PG from Florida. Offers from TTU, DePaul.
Ignas Brazdeikis: unranked SG prep schooler from Canada. Offers from Baylor, Cincy, Oregon, SMU, UNLV.
Isaiah Kelly: 3-star SF from Georgia. Offers from Cincy, Xavier, Vandy and a bunch of Ivy Leagues.

I've heard we are also recruiting a big kid by the name of Javian Fleming, from Canton,MS. We have not offered a scholarship, but many other schools have despite him not being ranked. Based on his offers so far, he might be a sleeper?

He knows that he isn't and shouldn't be the focal point so will look at the guys who will play along with him . . . imho that isn't a good thing for us Tiger fans, hopefully i'm wrong.

no one is expecting him to do it alone...but if you have Jamal Johnson, Alex Lomax, and a senior Jeremiah Martin to go along with solid role players like Vanover, Enoh, Nickelberry, Brewton, and Thornton...yeah, I could see that team making a run.
