2020 Recruiting List

[Teamgame]

I'm not feeling really good about the 2020 class. I'm a little concerned that Arizona isn't on the final list for even 1 top 25 recruit and Oregon and UCLA are on numerous list. Am I overthinking this or is someone else concerned? Seems like there might be a shift in the PAC. I sure hope Miller can work his magic.

Well one (Oregon) has been the most consistent lately.
The other (UCLA) is unproven and has a new coach so until they play a game, they are always going to get the benefit of the doubt until they show an on-court product.
Then you have the other (Arizona) has been drug through the mud with this FBI scandal, finished last season like 10th in the PAC-12, lost your best returning player for the season to knee surgery?

It's easy to see why when you look objectively.
Come January, I believe we will be back on track.

I think this class won't come together until the spring.

Recruits want to know whether Nico/Josh/Zeke plan to go pro after year 1.  This also gives them sufficient time to ensure that the program doesn't get hit with a postseason ban.  Plus, we have no idea whether B-Will can return at full strength.

The ban is unlikely...and Zeke jumping to the league is unlikely...so I'm optimistic that we'll have a nice class of ~5 incoming freshmen + a grad transfer that can fill the void for (probably) Nico, Josh, Dylan, Chase, Hazzard and Stone.

With Ira, Zeke, Koloko and Brown likely returning in the front court, we will need some serious wings (and a PG) to play alongside Baker, Doutrive and B-Will.

Yea teamgame I know what your talking about usually  Arizona makes alot of players till the end an it's not happening this year I really wonder if players worried about sanctions.

[Jdmarti]

I also think teams like Oregon  an asu an these other teams out there are probably using Arizona situation with possible sanctions   in a way to land recruits if the NCAA would hurry  an get it over with especially if there is no postseason ban that's what recruits care about.

[Jdmarti]

We basically have 6 players according to 247 that we are still targeting  puff seems like he will commit at some point which would give us 2 with him an Terry an then there is kerwin Walton dawson Garcia ziaire willams Adam Miller an Terren Frank if Arizona is still recruiting Frank I have not heard anything  in a while   about him   I am hoping Arizona can land Adam Miller it seems like they think he will go to Illinois  garcias  situation  I think could depend on if Zeke is one an done I think if he leaves  there would be a spot for him to start along Jordan brown if Zeke stays I don't think Garcia would come here considering  we would have Lee brown Zeke an koloko  I am sure Garcia wants to come in an start where ever he goes.

[Little George]

Terry 6'6" SF is in
Johnson 6'7" SG/SF is a good shot
Garcia 6'11" PF is as well
Walton 6'4 SG is likely


The rest of the field is cloudy at best, but this will not be the complete class if it shakes out this way.

[Jdmarti]

I pretty much agree George I think Garcia  I think it could depend on if Zeke leaves or not I dought he wants to come off bench but I like our chances  with him the other players you listed  I fill good about commiting  I'm no expert but if I had to guess we probably  dont get ziaire Williams   caleb love decided not to visit Arizona that tells me it all an Adam Miller who I like not sure about but he is visiting  an who knows from there I always think Arizona has a good chance with any player if they visit   I would really like Arizona to land Adam Miller   he is a combo guard an can probably  play the 1 an 2   an is a good outside shooter  so if you got Miller puff an Walton that's 3 players that could shoot the 3 that would really help with zone defense.

its interesting to hear all of the voices calling for CSM to chase fewer ONDs and focus on finding quality 3-4 year players

and then others concerned that we don't got no one in the top 25 comin in

it gets very interesting when our 3-4 year guys aren't NBA-level when they start to get PT, like how everyone bashed Lee his freshman year

I hope we can keep bringin in ONDs and mix in some 3-4 year guys with transfers to fill out the roster, do that until the threat of sanctions is behind us (will it ever be tho?) or until the whole college scene is transformed by the end of the plantation system and the one year rule

[Jdmarti]

I am good with one year players  that leave after there one year in collage if they are ready an I prefer  a limit of about 2 a year an the rest being 4 star talents  that can devolp   I hope arizona can get ziaire an Walton  ziaire Is a one year player  where Walton is a long term player.
