BLOG: Thoughts on a busy Saturday in recruiting

I was reading the Cincy board hoping to find more info, but nothing. Slim chance, but hope we're his last visit.
What are the little birdies saying about our chances to land Bolton?
Yay for Johnson. Been waiting a couple years for our Beverly replacement.
How do you find Johnson similar to Beverly?
You've been waiting a couple years for a similar guy that graduated a year ago?
How's that work McFly?
Poor stats at a poor basketball program. Just seems the bar was not set very high. Maybe a better comp would be Talley. He played a lot this year.
You understand he's sitting out for a year unlike those grad transfers? And he's shot a way higher 3P% than either one of those guys? Kane and Prohm identified Johnson early and wasn't a back up to a back up to a back up like Beverly. If Kelvin Sampson and Eric Musselman want him then I think we got a good one.
Yeah, he wasn't a dream guy, but he is a solid pick up with some other good offers.
I would like to know why Bolton thinks he will get immediate eligibility. Is this just an optimist dad?
I think people tend to forget how much that sit out year helps. An entire year where workouts, practice, and putting up shots are your top priorities.
Sure glad you have such a keen eye for talent. You might want to give Coach K a call, he needs some help recruiting because not all his 5 star recruits end up being starter material.
Talley was a headcase from what we heard. Weren't there rumors of bad practice habits? I guarantee Talley had the talent to contribute, and he started to at the end of the year some.
Doubling down I see. Penn State has a HORRIBLE basketball history and Chris Babb was a great pickup for us. He didn't have great stats but became a decent shooter who played outstanding defense.
I dont think he understands how years work let alone basketball.
