(2016) PF T.J. Leaf to UCLA

[Dalton26 16,891]

So we are freaking out about losing a kid in the class of 2016 that hasn't committed anywhere. Makes perfect sense.

Where is all this coming from. Pretty random, unless I totally missed something. Did I? He is 2016 people!

the golden child who advocated for a sexual predator while at Iowa is magnifying all the deficiencies in Crean's coaching profile to an extent that only people like Scott Drew or Thad Matta would go to

Ok, would you be able to explain this at all?

the golden child = Leaf ?
advocated for a sexual predator =  ??? what????

I'm with Dunn Woods on this one:

 

Golden Child is TJ: As a player, as a good kid, he's as golden as it gets.

 

Advocated for a child predator: That would be UCLA Coach Steve Alford, who used horrendous decision making at Iowa when he went far beyond the pale to try to save the sorry ass of then Iowa hoopster, now-convicted sexual predator Pierre Pierce, solely because Pierce was a good basketball player. Not a pretty chapter for Alford.

That is how I read it as well. Could have been written better.

I really like this kid, I hope we get him.

I didn't catch where we are hearing that Steve A is talking smack about CTC to recruits. What is the source, if any?

[hoosierpap 14,300]

I'd expect reports of a Michigan offer soon

2016 is absolutely loaded!!!!!!

We have to knock it out of the park in 16.

A few potential prizes in 15 left too.

Lets see if we can pull a miracle and keep the MCDonald AA streak going.

'15 chances seem to include: Biggie Swanigan, Zimmerman, Thon Maker if reclassed, Jalen Coleman.

Any other possibilities???

Yogi will graduate, and Troy and JBJ may already be gone or leaving. RoJo and Stan are going to be critical pieces to our sustained success. Between Hoetzel, Priller, Davis, and April, hopefully two of them become quality starters.
