My Jett take is this. We need a wing and if he doesn't go to Michigan I like to think we're the next best option. I think Ewing is the only other coach he'd be willing to play for. So I'm all in on Jett. I'd like to think the Howard family has respect for Coach Ewing to not waste his time visiting if he wasn't serious. If the staff lands Jett...it'd be a remarkable feat. Go Hoyas!

Hilltop Hoops touts 3-star/4-star local recruits signing with George Mason as an indictment on our local recruiting woes...wasn't he "low" on Gtown signing Dante Harris too...yeah ok lol.

...perhaps veering towards the transfer portal going forward should be the desirable recruiting strategy. The key to me is retaining our current 2021 class. But I also feel we can be a viable transfer destination every year. I do think based on how we fared locally in recruiting there needs to be a concrete assessment on how we can improve on that area. At the same time...I think we've have our fair share of transfers who may look to return home. I trust the staff bottom line...but to miss out on local recruits kinda sucks. But I'll remain optimistic.

I'll remain optimistic he'll choose Gtown...its clear his family likes Gtown. Linking him to Kentucky is so so obvious...which makes me more quietly confident of our chances...despite what the world thinks.

I think we have real chance here too. Reading his quotes on Gtown about the family atmosphere... they seem authentic. The staff has an NIL plan for him which seems to have gotten his attention. This would be the ultimate recruiting coup if the staff can pull it off. Monday is judgement day.

If reports are true...he and Memphis have parted ways, it only enhances our chances. Do u wanna play for a hall of fame coach or do you wanna play for a collegiate/NBA hall of famer...sounds like the choice is clear cut. Apparently the staff does have NIL plans for him. He can forge his own legacy at Gtown or just be another 5-star at Kentucky. I'll remain optimistic.

Perhaps all this smoke for Kentucky is a good thing for us. He's said some positive things about the program. Maybe he's feeling Gtown more than everyone thinks n he wants to go back to Kentucky for the final verdict. It seems clear we're #2 as of now.

I think it's curious he announced his commitment date the day after Whitmore announced his top 3. I guess we shall see.

The Hilltop Hoops account is the worst. You don't have to pump sunshine 24/7 for the program, but any hint of disagreement with program results pushes this account quickly into negativity. It has too many followers to be so angry about the program all the time. I agree. Recruits view his tweets. While I appreciate his content. He can very negative and can resonate among recruits. He also does not represent everyone's views about the program. I follow hoyajournal personally. They deal with more factual info. Instead of opinions.

I think we need to await Watson's decision tomorrow.

Would want him to join because he wants to...not because of other circumstances. Hope he sees the value of what the staff could provide even if it's for one year.

What? We are a lock to get him...thought he was a Michigan lock? Is this sarcasm? lol if he doesn't want to play for his dad...then Georgetown is the next best option. I guess we'll see...have to it's dependent on if Watson pops for us or not.

Lindsey, Nick Smith Jr, Watson, Whitmore, Aire, Troutman, Fernandez, Hamilton, Livingston, Hood-Schifino, ....thats a pretty strong list. Let's see what happens. ....and Oweh potentially. The "G" is getting its swagger back.

Local recruiting should land us one of Aire, Watson, Whitmore, Rice, Fernandez, Troutman this cycle...land none of them...then a serious discussion has to be had. But let's see what happens. I'm optimistic.
