Shake and Morgan! Shake and Morgan! Shake and Morgan!

I think there could be something to this but to play Devils Advocate we haven't had other recruits in for official visits to meet the staff. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

2nd hand premie information. Not positive on veracity.

I hear decision is to be made BY Monday unofficially. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Looks like he left campus without commitment? News should come soon. Not super confident but am hopeful. Leaving campus has gotta be a bad sign, right? Discuss with parents? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Watfords outside touch improved vastly in his time as a Hoosier. My point was Morgan is a 6'9" player who will play inside but will stretch his game out to the 3 much like Watford. But yes you are right in your analysis and I agree. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I've always liked Morgan. Think he has Watford type potential. Think he's a good guy too. Would be a solid start to 15 if we are lucky. Remember he was EYBLs most improved player. If that growth continues his 60-100 ranking could end up 25-40. Plus I like Shake too. Hope we can ROJO the crystal ball here Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Or not, just like Goodlucks visit, Nairns, Richardson etc etc. Maybe the professional guessers have this one right. No CB updates today, last one still Vandy. His visit ended today, right? Has he already left? I

well that is good news! :) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

The other connection is Juwan has a long time girlfriend. Not sure he wants to go too far from home. I think this plays a factor. Total conjecture based on one look at his twitter account. UL, Arizona, Duke, OSU, UK recruiting shows more and more the playing time thing is overblown. Crean plays ALL his players even the ones that don't deserve it. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Oh boy. Here rolls the PT excuse. If PT were the end all, be all, no Elite program would ever land a recruit. They are all full of great players, better than DD and Max Hoetzel. No offense intended BGleas, but the PT excuse is getting very old. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Visits over Saturday? I guess we find out soon if Jerry Meyer and his Crystal Ballers are right or wrong. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Love it, especially the Freddie Mercury bit. Classic! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Yeah, I like CCR, know their music well, but why the loss of respect? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Another CB for Vandy. I'll leave it alone until this weekend and see what transpires. I tend to trust these CB swings. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I don't think it was. Word probably shouldn't have gotten out but it did. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Probably the same way he had space for Kasongo/Holt both. :)

2 more have jumped on the Vanderbilt CB including 247 rep Alex McCarthy. Not looking good. At least I had a moment of recruiting joy. Haha. It's been vanquished! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Apparently Meyer CB'd Vanderbilt for Juwan today. Gotta wonder if he liked his Vandy visit and is fulfilling an obligation to us on the OV. Gosh, I hope not, that'd be a blow. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Beautiful news DJ! Juwan gives me the CWAT vibe. I have always liked this kid and think he'd be a great addition. Now let's hit a home run with Morgan, Milton, and Maker and make me eat my words on recruiting!!!!!!

I think we mostly agree. My concerns are not necessarily for THIS year as we have TOP end talent still. But as Yogi, TW, etc.. depart we need to be replacing them with like talent and not UR/2star/1star type players. If we end up with 2 or 3 4 star types in 2015, I'll be less concerned. The recent trend is just disconcerting for our future. My major grump was we did not adequately replace the void left by NV. We had chances and didn't finish.

15/25 2013 5 stars are playing in their second year including 4 from UK. Harrison, Harrison, Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee. 5 stars being 1 and done is a misnomer. Top 10 guys are often 1 and done but not generally guys 11-25 with some exceptions.

Exactly my point. If you are lucky enough to get 2 5 stars then take them but the model should be just as we referenced. People think all 5 stars are gone ever year. Not true. Not even close. Over half stay 2 and a portion play 3 (Yogi, Dekker, Dawson, Poythress, Sulaimon, Tarcewzski, Dunn). That's 7/25 5 stars playing into year three and there may be more I didn't check all of them. It is not the UK model taking 5 stars. Is yogi a conventional 5 star? Is Dekker? Is Blackmon? Some/most of these guys need multiple years.
