Yeah Justin told me that a while ago

247 has

Eason - 114
Gabe - 150
Saunders - 173


First time we've had 2 top 150 on 247 since

Well 2015 class they had Evans at 162 final (was in top 150 frequently before final ranking) and Jenifer 151 final (was also top 150 very early in the process)


The last time we had 2 guys top 150 on the final 247 list was 2013 with Jermaine Lawrence and Kevin Johnson. And Caupain was 214 on that list which tells you all you need to know about recruiting lists.


This class is definitely more in line with classes when Cronin was at his best (multiple classes like this is what got us that great 2018 team).

I think that’s all people want. No one expects a major uptick in recruiting like some suggests. Just recruit 10 guys that can play basketball. With multiple people that can score. You’re going to miss on some recruits but can’t miss on multiple. We will see if brannen can do that.

DeJulius will announce his choice on Wednesday.

DeJulius and Justin Turner from BG both had Mizzou, Iowa State, and Marquette in their final 4.

Justin Turner opted to stay at BG for his final year today. Wonder if that will affect DeJulius's decision at all.

There's some increased talk on Twitter about the likelihood of landing Rapolas Ivanauskas.

6'10 grad transfer from Colgate who torched us for 21 points (19 in the 2nd half) in our freak loss to them last season.

Started his career at Northwestern and played the past two seasons at Colgate. He actually put up much better offensive numbers in his first year at Colgate which makes you wonder if there were some lingering injury issues last season (injuries apparently plagued him at Northwestern).

He was a top 150 guy coming out of high school, so it’s not like he never has talent. I would take him in a heartbeat. Great get at this stage in the game. Good skilled big. Fit the system perfect. Not a complete player but if he was he wouldn’t be coming here.,

not gonna be sad if we miss a 94 ORTG center that doesn't play defense.

What’s the other options? We are talking about a guy coming off the bench.

dont know, but im not going to be sad if we avoid another mcneal where we gotta play him x amount of games before we realize its not good.


his numbers were awful last year.


he had a super hot streak of 17-24 from 3 over a 7 game span 2 seasons ago. the rest of his career he's a 29% 3 point shooter. 26% last year. but he thinks he's a jump shooter, 200 3's + midrange shots last season.


im just not gonna consider it a miss.

We really need someone at this point. I'd be sad if they didn't get who they recruited.
