Want.
Reminds me of a more versatile version of Comanche. Great to be in his final 3 and I like where we stand. Memphis is his hometown but they haven't had a ton of success developing bigs, you could see Kentucky recruiting over him if he were to go there, the Hoyas seem like the perfect fit and can offer him playing time immediately.

Are there enough minutes at the 5 IF we could land both Rabb and Labisserie?

A five-star like Monk, Labissiere ranks No. 6 overall in 2015. A 6-foot-11 big man from Cordova (Tenn.) Evangelical Christian, Labissiere was playing in his first game since November after missing almost all of his junior season to a stress fracture in his back. The Haiti native played limited minutes, but his skill on both ends of the floor was evident. He has gotten much stronger and while he isn't a high flyer, he can really move his feet, is fast and has great length. He doesn't bite on fakes and causes a lot of problems in the lane as a rim protector. On top of that he rebounds well and doesn't need a ton of offense run for him in order to be productive. He has soft touch but the back foot, spin and fadeaway jumper from about 12 feet on the left baseline was ridiculous. www.elitehoopsreport.com/2014/04/real-deal-aau-tourney-off-to-fast-start.htmlNo Signs of Rust: Labissiere's Domination Evident: After sitting out for the entire high school season, 2015 forward Skal Labissiere brought his name and game to the forefront in Arkansas last weekend, reminding onlookers why he is considered one of the top prospects in the entire 2015 class. Highly skilled for a 6-foot-10 prospect, his polish shined bright during every Wings game. His low post passing skills, mid-range jump shot, and ability to use both hands around the rim were most appealing to us, and there's no denying that he has the ability to move himself into the top 5 during our rankings update future150.com/hs/basketball-news/2014-real-deal-in-the-rock-new-names-emerge-12337

Lol. I'd take that problem any day. Well of course I would too!! But if you are a top 5 recruit and another top 5 recruit just verballed, and you believe yourself to be a one and doner, it might affect your decision. I just hope we land one of them...

Well, I don't think Rabb is thinking about what anyone else does. And it's not clear to me that Skal is a one and done. An inaugural season in the IAC would do wonders for his strength. But yeah, that would be a great problem to have.

Skal and Rabb definitely could play together. Skal really not a Center more face up four and definitely no a bruiser. If a coach does his job well I don’t think ones decision should effect the other, unless they are simply interested in touches..

Yes, a starting five of DSR, LJ Peak, Copeland, Skal,and Rabb would be filthy. With Paul White and Derrickson and Trier or Crawford on the bench.

Also, I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon dreaming about all of the offensive rebounds that roster would get (well, at least percentage-wise, since they probably won't be missing many shots ).

And didn't take very long to adjust to not having him either. Not sure if you're serious or not, but it was more a forced adjustmet to play with what he had, i.e. he had no choice because of his recruits, what was left on the roster, not wanting to play Hayes, etc... Btw, let's not hijack this thread. Where should we take this discussion? Which old thread or should we start a new one?

The "Is JTIII stubborn?" debate has been beaten to death. Back to Skal...

Smart move...to move on. I actually hate hearing about JT-3's stubbornness, when, whichever way he goes, he will be pilloried on this board.
