In 2019-20 we will have JAG, Kishawn, and Dusan as seniors, KG, Carter, and Bates as juniors, and MJ, Nelson, and Luka as sophomores with a year of learning the system. That is an A-10 championship, Top 25 roster. Kool Aid for everyone! Drinks are on the house.

Oh yeah, 2018-19 ought to be pretty good, too.
I hear that Frampton guy might be alright too. It might be an A10 championship roster next year.
Yeah, and I forgot David Cz as well. Too much excitement at the time, but it's all good now.

Same excitement everywhere. Great day to be a Wildcat for sure.

If Nathan stays another year, he will be our only senior, and we will have 12 on scholarship. I suspect we are through for the year, which may explain why Max doesn't list DC among the schools recruiting him, and Bob will have 2 scholarships for the class of 2024.

Nathan is coming back next season. Coming off the bench to win the Colt 45 award!

Could have some good debates over front court Nathan vs. Dusan vs. backcourt Carter vs. David. Come think of it, if everyone is healthy, those four plus one the starters ought to be able to beat a couple of the bottom A10 teams unless they are much improved.

These last two recruiting classes are of program altering quality (mind you, we already have a pretty solid program. That isn't hyperbolic, we've landed guys who have had offers and interest from:

Penn state, Stanford, Villanova, Northwestern, Arizona, Purdue, Texas Tech, Creighton, URI, Xavier, Butler, and Harvard....

That's pretty good

When you put it like that, I feel positively giddy.

Is this definitely the bow on the recruiting class or are we maybe in the market for a transfer with the last schollie to balance out the classes?

(I presume Ekwu will take the 6th scholarship for next year)

I think we are done with the 2018 recruiting class, but what do I know.

Barring injury..., there is going to be a lot of competition for minutes.

I think the big guards we have is the reason both our defense and rebounding have improved. I could see a 4 guard lineup next year. (counting KP and Frampton as guards).
BTW what are Frampton's primary skills?

The reason he held offers from big-time programs is he's an elite shooter, I think we expect him to do more but that's his best attribute. Was also a good rebounder in high school but his competition was very poor.

Big guards also has helped our zone out and means we can continue switching defenses going forward, having guys with long arms at the top of the zone makes a huge difference
