Feel free to substitute some names, I'm totally spit-balling here. But my point is this, if Penny gets the kids he's suppose this, this doesn't have to take long...

If even most of that happens the Forum will rocking again, immediately.
Hometown, good start.
I wouldn't include T.J. Moss on the list. First, T.J. is not that good. 2nd, T.J.'s dad took shots at Penny on the way out last spring, said T.J. should be playing point guard but the coach had reserved that position for someone else, i.e. Penny for Lomax.
Wiseman could reclassify to 2018

Total stab in the dark. Jonah mentioned on Jeff’s show today that a former Team Penny player is expected to transfer soon in addition to Parker.
Why NO Myreon Jones....I still think he signs

Jonah said this am on Geoff that he didn’t expect either him or Conner to come now.
Why would Nickel leave now? I expect he will be one of the first ones to talk to Penny. Maybe they agree to part ways, maybe they don't.

I'd rather Nickelberry stay and Enoh transfer.

Obviously their talent levels are very different, but nickelberry has a body and game sorta like penny’s.
You meant 19-20 in the original post...which would be pretty high level recruit laden.

I think Nickelberry stays and actually excels under Penny. I like his game and believe he will be a major contributor his junior and senior year if he is on the roster.

Exactly and I think Penny can get him to play like he did against USF in the tournament. He often has a good play in his head, the ball just seems to land in the other teams hands too often.

Connor's gone. Going to rescind his LOI and follow Esposito.
Penny is not going to just automatically get every single AAU player or East player that played under him.

I didn’t say automatically. But if he puts the effort in he should get most, no? If not then why hire him?

We do not need them all but he certainly has a major advantage in recruiting for all of them...

I like Enoh better than Nick right now...
But not knowing either it will require serious work ethic for Nickel to reach his potential...Much easier for Enoh to be a very serviceable big man.
