Anyone want to try and explain wtf Hopkins is doing?

It's a transition class this year ... we'll see if he can land someone that is worth talking about but at this point it is what it is

Shut the fuck up you excuse making doog.

Why do you hate the truth?

I'd love to see us pick up 1-2 nice recruits in this class to close it out ... I just don't think it will happen.

I like the fact that we kept Nowell ... I think he's got a future in the program under a strong coach.

I'm perfectly fine with losing Davis given that I thought that he sucked to begin with.

The rest of the class was going to leave so whatever.

I like the 2 guys that we got ... they won't be stars but they'll be 4 year guys that will be part of the rotation ... in an ideal world they will be part of the rotation of teams that are tournament caliber teams as juniors/seniors.

If Nowell hasn't asked for his release as of yet, then I don't think he will ... I could be wrong on that of course ... but from what I've heard regarding his family dynamics leaving the area at this point isn't ideal. He's got the kind of game that IMO will keep him in the program for 3-4 years and could stand to grow under Hopkins and his fundamental focus.

As for Davis, I've never liked his game. I think he has the chance to be a very good defensive player if that's where he puts his focus. But offensively, there's nothing that I see in his game that makes me think that he'll be a significant offensive player. I saw both Davis and Thybulle in HS play against each other and Thybulle has 5x the offensive game that Davis has. Best case to me Davis will have the offensive game of Justin Holliday. But what Davis got away with in HS of just penetrating to the basket and getting layups won't work at the college level. He doesn't have any kind of mid-range or perimeter game and I don't really see him as a strong facilitator/passer ... I can very easily see him committing more turnovers than assists.

If Davis turns into a strong P12 player I'll be more than happy to eat crow on this one. I didn't like his game as a Freshman ... didn't like it as a Sophomore ... didn't like it as a Senior.
