Quinones
Baugh

RJ Hampton if he reclassifies
Jalen Green if he reclassifies

We’ve got some good options to finish this class.

even if Unoh and Wingett move on, we are running out of room. 5 scholly's open naturally, 4 are spoken for so thats 3 more max but this stuff always seems to work out. i could see either of Unoh or Wingett getting moved to UAB to pay them back for taking Boyce from them this season

Jeb, all 5 scholarships are taken now: Wiseman, Dandridge, Jeffries and Baugh, plus Boyce moving from walk-on to scholly.

I think we sign 2 more. One slot can be had by moving Jayden to walk-on, and the other would be a transfer. The obvious guess would be Enoh. I think Wingett is a tossup to stay or leave.

Extra Scholarships can always be worked out. WSU is full on Scholarships right now but is still actively recruiting. I'd expect at least 1 or 2 more commitments. Then you just figure out who is going to transfer or go prep.

Agree. Our issue is our current APR is not good, so we have to be careful with transfers. And Jayden is our best student, so moving him to walk-on won't help.

2-16 - UCF gained a commitment from 3* (per 24/7) PG Tony Johnson from Eufaula, AL. He is ranked #309. This moves UCF's class up to 94th nationally, and 8th in the American.

3-7 - Memphis picked up a commitment from Damion Baugh. He is a 3* composite recruit and ranked #134 per 24/7. He is a 6'4" combo gaurd out of Memphis. His commitment moves Memphis up to the #6 nationally and holding at 1st in the American.

ESPN drags down the composite by assigning him three stars, but they have not updated his rating since July 2018 and clearly he is better than a 78 score.

I'm kinda over the Jalen Adams era. This has been Gilbert's team all year long. And Al will be a much better influence on Gaffney/Bouknight.

LSU is (was??) a strong suitor for Watford. Unfortunately, Duke has now joined the fray.

Could smell that from miles away. Top 50 recruits from Connecticut don't randomly choose an SEC school not named Kentucky. Although the wiretap is in reference to Javonte Smart, you best believe the Tremont Waters family also received a nice, fat paycheck.

Maybe, but Sean Miller isn't done yet. I find it hard to believe anyone can get away with the kind of cheating these guys were doing if caught. It's one thing if the NCAA is poking around, it's another when the FBI is involved.

With the recruiting class you have coming in, I still think Precious ends up at UConn unless something crazy happens. UConn will be a force moving forward. College basketball isn't the same without UConn being in the NCAA tournament.
