Quan Jackson will run a lot of PG for us

Yep, you don’t grad transfer from mid major to mid major to come off the bench.

There are no more gaping holes on the roster, and if a guy isn’t doing what is expected, I feel confident we will have a next in line. If he wants to, AK can probably go ten deep next year.

I hope AK does go at least ten deep. I would like to see us literally run other teams ragged even if two or three of our guys foul out. Bring back the Steal Mill.

Does any one know if the prep school guys - Ard and Rotegard - will be ready to contribute in year one?

It makes a lot of sense for Jackson to be one of the primary initiators on offense, especially in the half-court. It let's Benjamin and Ertel run off screens and space the floor, which opens up the paint for Jackson. Throw in a stretch four and a rim runner, and I think we could have a potent offense for the first time in a while.

I think those two will be the most ready of the freshmen (excluding Jeffries because I just don't know much about him). Ard and Rotegard both played prep ball at a very high level but Rotegard also has a lot of international experience. Rotegard's perimeter shooting may get him on the floor the soonest.

Biggest question for me about Gordon is his health. He's had some injuries in the last year or two. I know he sat some games for Jeff Davis this year with minor injuries. But he's a talented kid. If he's 100%, he might work his 6-8 225 self into some PT.

what is this all about? Its 2 hours old.

We don't know yet... but damn, am I curious. AK putting in WORK!

Kennedy did ‘like’ Evan’s reply of yes, in response to Jeffries returning.

I assumed that AK post was in response to the class graphic, but may be not.

Me too. We should be full unless he got Jeffries to take a walk on spot.

Looks like we offered JUCO PF Brian Washington out of Navarro College. Other offers he's had before are UMKC, Oral Roberts, and Nevada. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/brian-washington

Seems so my bad for not clarifying

A potential good sign is the immediate eligibility that was granted to Kentucky transfer, Johnny Juzang. Juzang just wrapped up his true Freshman season, announced he was transferring and committed to UCLA on April 8th. Yesterday, the NCAA ruled him immediately eligible. Juzang is originally from the LA area so it's reasonable to assume he was granted immediately eligibility as a result of COVID-19. If so, it bodes well for Jemison and explains why AK is optimistic he'll be eligible right away. Using the same timeline, we 'should' know something on Jemison in the next 30-45 days.

Stansbury just stole 2021 Keshawn Murphy out of Ramsay HS. I give up, man. Sick of this.

He hasn’t signed anything

He has de-committed from WKU..

uab is closer to home and we have better coach now

Nice little video of Rongie Gordon getting in some shots. Real smooth jumper.

Nice, but he better improve his foot work. He traveled a few times before taking his shots.

Any word on guys HCAK is looking at? I know we have a verbal from Elijah Tate and a recent offer to JUCO PG Drue Drinnon but haven't seen or heard any news about recruiting
