My prediction is we end up with at least 1, maybe even 2 top 100 kids and then 2 kids outside the top 100 (maybe even 150) that get small rankings bumps when they sign with us and we get them just by virtue of being their biggest time offer.
Side note: noticed the other day that Barksdale crept into the top 100 on 247.. Was he always there or did he get that after committing to us? I remember him as an outside the top 100 guy.
I think it was their spring update. It was around the same time he committed here, but I can’t remember which was first
Edit - nope, must have been last Fall:
This is wild, don’t know what the story is. Jackson was committed to Maryland at one time.
The recruiting sites even still have him as a commit to Arizona State (not on their roster or in their season preview article). Guess he never made it there.
From UMD to VSU? There’s not even a comp for that
Probably not very relevant but I imagine Odom is at least trying, working those MD ties. UVA offered shortly after Odom took over. Initial whispers are that Duke and Kansas are the teams to watch.
Duke’s 2026 class: Jordan smith jr, Bryson Howard, Baba Olatudon, Maximo Adams, that Spain center who is rumored to be coming to US, Derron Rippey Jr
Do we feel good about any of these high school lads?
No.
Awesome
This actually increases the likelihood of Billy playing in Cville in 2026.
I like Billy White but he did not strike me as someone who is ready to play high major basketball in a couple months.
The plan is to redshirt. Thanks to an extra year of pay, suddenly the reclass to redshirt plan is in vogue. Bennett retired too soon.
This is infuriating to think about tbh.
We could have more future Deandre hunters and Jay Huffs than we knew what to do with right now!
@HoozGotNext can staff still go to invitationals to scout? Noticed staff follow Seros and they are hosting an invitational with Adidas aau teams and other programs
Staff also followed a BABC kid (formerly Nike when TJ Power was on the team but they are in Adidas now)
