Recruiting Class of 2019

[Blers]

Not only will he back up Custer, he will also allow Custer to play some two guard.

This is a fun question. All 3 are gonna be relied upon in some capacity. I'm really eager to see Kaifes. He has a really pretty jump shot which makes people forget how athletically gifted he is. Plus coming from a similar background as Ben and Clay (Mokan Elite) I'm guessing he's got solid fundamentals on the defensive end to contribute immediately. I could see him having a similar impact to that of Lucas last year.

We will not have the same team as last year. Uguak will not be Ingram. Negron will not be Jackson. Neither Bujdoso nor Kaifes will be Richardson.

I do not expect us to be as good as a shooting team as last year. The 4 and 1 offense is not only for open shots, it opens passing lanes, it also opens driving lanes too.

Last year we had more question marks than this season. We did not know who would be our center. We did not know how Townes would play. We had no idea how Williamson be as good as he was

Once upon a time we would be flying high with bringing in a 3,5 star recruit like Agunanne or getting a 3,3 star recruit healthy like Negron. Or someone like either Bujdoso or Kaifes.

When we go small next year it will be 6-7, 6-7, 6-4,. Not 6-5, 6-6, 6-4. We can also go 6-9, 6-7, 6-7.

Lots of options.

Sounds like fun.

Looks like we got a pretty good shot to land Tom Welch. Two sport athlete (Gatorade player of the year for soccer; but will play basketball at the next level). with a lot of upside; would fit the culture great and is another local product. Also Wojcik’s teammate on the Illinois wolves

Would be great. Hope they get him on campus for a game like Nevada where there will be a big crowd!

Agreed! Sounds like he wants to decide before the season starts though!

Could an Illinois Wolves trio be in the works? Marquise Kennedy who’s stock recently exploded notes is as a school prioritizing him early on, and that Paxson Wojcik has been recruiting him as well!

Any relationship to former Rambler Cal Kennedy, also out of Brother Rice?

I wouldn't think so. Pretty sure they would have missed each other by a year or two in high school.

New offer per verbal commits, Isaac McBride, 6-1 point guard averaged 24 points junior year in Little Rock. Also offered by SMU and Kansas. High company.
