So it turns out that I know Fielders AAU coach (Under Armour) that reached out to congratulate us for landing a stud. Says he a really good player and even a better kid. Any insight on his high school teammate Dual?

I just love the versatility at that position! We haven’t had this in along time.

love it. This is the type of player we've struggled with defensively for years, glad we've got that type of versatility on our side now!
What I love most about the two commits is that they clearly play hard. You can't teach that dawg in em; give me kids who want to compete all day every day...oh and add that sweet of a jump shot we've got somethin!

So where does this put Ryan? Ryan plays powre forward? Geezer in me. Just assumed a 6'11" guy was a center. Still gonna need a rim protector next year.

There is a lot to be optimistic about here.

And 116 is not even a bad number.

And 116 is not even a bad number. I get players win the game and all that, but what Cooley is going to bring, first and foremost, is better coaching. One would think that after years of inaccurate individual rankings, players who don't develop, poor gameplans, etc. we would be less fatalistic about a recruiting ranking. (And yes, I get, in aggregate. But one or even two classes isn't enough to be anything "in aggregate" -- you can use an accuracy argument built on literally hundreds and thousands of players on a class of four.) And certainly not where we are as a program right this instant. We need someone who can make a coherent whole out of our players, and who can help them improve. That's the most important thing we're going to get this year. And someone who demands and inspires effort and teamwork. No more watching talented players not try on defense or take dumb shots to improve their stats (or because there was no real plan to do otherwise). [And anyway, the poster who posts all this spent over a year promising me that Mac McClung couldn't play D1 ball, much less put up 20/9/9 in an NBA game, and also neglected to tell me that our Top 20 recruit from a couple years ago had the vertical jump of ... me, so why are we even listening?] I'm excited to see these players -- and Fielder and Massoud in particular because go stretch fours -- but I'm most excited to see an actual team again.

Players win games indeed. The most important thing for Cooley to do is upgrade the talent throughout the roster. He is in the process of doing that. It will take a while.

Fielder is gonna be a great player here. Perfect role as a modern 4.
Players win but the fit of the players is just as important
