I never thought I'd see a uniform uglier than our camos, live and learn.

Reminds me a lot of Roy. Staff needs to show him videos of Roy in college and tell him he can be the next Roy Hibbert at Georgetown .

I'm not drawing any conclusions or making predictions, but I think Fall looks quite a bit leaner, quicker, and more agile than Roy was coming out of Georgetown Prep. Given their success with Roy, I can see why the staff might envision a bright future for Fall.

Ranch - I agree - looks on the videos that coordination and movement is much more fluid with Tacko

The verbal interview was most telling. The kid really seems to get I am 7'6" I need to use this to get somewhere in basketball and then can do other things like Dikembe. I think we land him.
Check the interview on youtube of him and Ben Simmons you get a better idea that this kid has a demeanor like Dikembe.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out vs. Dickerson. I think the staff would take Noah back right now in a heartbeat, but if Tacko commits I think that ship may be gone. I know they are different players and positions to some extent, but you can't go too heavy on bigs especially when we are reserving a ship for Rabb. This really could bite Noah in the butt since the schools he thought would go after him haven't (like Duke and Michigan) and may be left going to a 2nd or 3rd tier of choices.

Forget the scholarship, our involvement of Rabb and Fall are probably obstacles to Noah wanting to come to Georgetown. I would have rather have a Dickerson in the hand than a Rabb or Tacko in the bush.

If Dickerson is that scared of competition at the spot, then we don't need him. I really don't think that's it though.

Rabb is important because if we land him, we likely land another 5 star stud in the backcourt. Outside of that, guys like Taco and Noah are likely four year kids that can add a lot to the program.
While Rabb is the shinier object, in the long run we may be better off with one of the other guys.

Any change in our momentum (good or bad) with Rabb? He was quoted recently as saying that Cal and Kentucky would likely be on his list till the end, didn't see any mention of GTown. But I'm doing my best not to infer anything negative regarding our chances, based on earlier posts here by B&G.
