Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Semaj Christon will be Andre Drummond's point guard if he does indeed attend St. Thomas More.

So, Bolden is a member of your ideal class? As of right now, I'm not sold on him as far as an ideal class goes. I think I'll reserve judgment until after the summer AAU circuit, but he needs to show somethingggg at some point.

Oh wow, good catch tonyparker. I didn't think of that but I'm pretty sure you're right.

So, Bolden is a member of your ideal class? As of right now, I'm not sold on him as far as an ideal class goes. I think I'll reserve judgment until after the summer AAU circuit, but he needs to show somethingggg at some point. Should have clarified that it was an "ideal but realistic" class. I don't think Bolden will be an instant impact freshman, but he does have the ingredient to be a really good player if things break right. A lot of big guys don't come out of their shell until late, so if he is an end of the rotation guy for a year or two and then comes on, I'm ok with that. We have enough other forwards in the mix that we can afford a guy with a high ceiling who needs an extra year or two to come into his own. If he doesn't ever develop then he'll either be 12/13th man or he will go the Benimon route. This is the same thing I've said about Hopkins. It's ok to take a couple of high ceiling/questionable motor types as long as youve got other more reliable players like your Nate Lubicks or Otto Porters in the mix. Guys like Hopkins and Bolden have 3 choices--either game up/bust ass/maximize their potential, pick splinters out of their butts for 4 years, or try their hand elsewhere. They're worth the shot, but if they don't step up after a couple years, they'll either be permanent practice players or they'll take their game to an the A-10 or the CAA. I do think Bolden will be a part of the class though, so I'm not gonna envision an ideal class without him.

Agreed with all of that RB. Realistically, he will be in the class. Hopefully, he proves himself as an "ideal" member of it. Kinda wish he would switch high schools and go somewhere where he'll actually touch the ball. The Miller School seems like a terrible situation for him.
