Hopefully it was Ewing. You're not going to win this without the HC being heavily involved. He's going to be a tough pull for sure, but you can't let other staffs outwork you for a local stud like Keels. Not saying he isn't but he should be a tier 1 priority. I'd agree, but how could it be when he was in Arizona offering Dre Harris and Puff Johnson last night? It was probably Waheed. The tweet says "this week" so maybe he was there the same day he went to see Quincy Allen.

Over the weekend, 2021 five-star Paolo Banchero announced that he is down to a group of nine that consists of Baylor, Duke, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Memphis, North Carolina, Tennessee and Washington. With each move the No. 2 player in the junior class makes, it becomes more clear that he isn't the lock he was initially figured to be to stay home and play for the Huskies. Don't get me wrong, the Huskies are in a good spot with Banchero and are making him a priority. But, given that he's already set up official visits with UNC (9/27), UK (10/11), Duke (10/17), Tennessee (10/25) and Gonzaga (1/18). Those are some pretty heavy hitters in today's game and they are giving him increasingly more attention. Banchero isn't expected to make a decision in the near future and lots is left to play out. But, if I were to handicap the teams with the best chance of beating Washington, I would look at Duke and Kentucky. There's been a lot of positive buzz on the recruiting grapevine regarding their chances so it's going to be interesting to see what kind of talk starts circulating once Banchero starts hitting the road in two weeks. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/starting-five-five-star-banchero-s-list-changes-for-five-star-burnett

Playing in the WCAC it can be tough for younger prospects to make a big impact because of the quality of competition, but Hawkins started to do that as a sophomore. Then this summer he saw his stock explode at the Nike Elite 100 where the nearly 6-foot-5 wing showed explosive athleticism along with the ability to make shots from distance. Hawkins checks in as the No. 68 prospect in the updated rankings, and even that has the potential to be low if he makes a few tweaks to his game. Hawkins has to get more assertive, play with a better motor all the time, and improve off the dribble. Still, the ability to shoot and be versatile on defense is exactly what college coaches are looking for in wings in this day and age. Hawkins has both of those things at a high level, and at worst could be a high level three-and-D guy going forward. Schools such as Marquette, Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, St. Joe’s and others are already showing significant interest in Hawkins, and his stock could continue to soar as people see him more as a junior on a loaded DeMatha Catholic team. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Star-potential-five-star-class-of-2021-rankings-Blake-Wesley-JerDarrion-Davison-Jordan-Hawkins-Daimion-Collins-Ernest-Ross-135772445/

I'm not sure why. I can't be too disappointed given that our staff has been anywhere and everywhere this summer, clearly working their butts off on the recruiting trail. Maybe they're locked in on a different prospect or two at the same position or something. But Hawkins has been steadily climbing the rankings and has the attention of a lot of the usual suspects. I'm sure Mike Brey will be in touch soon, and if his trajectory continues so will Mark Turgeon, Jay Wright and Tony Bennett. I'm not sure why we wouldn't want to at least make an attempt at a Top 75 kid playing at Dematha. Seems like even if we didn't land him it could help us to continue building our relationships there. Maybe there's more than meets the eye that I'm not getting on this one, or maybe they just feel like they can afford to wait on him for whatever reason.

Chet's the #2 recruit in his class? I didn't know that he had moved up that high. Let's hope for a great year for the team and Yurt7 specifically. Can't hurt being in a highly diverse area with a countryman getting drafted higher than expected...🤞🏾😁

The Staff has been everywhere it seems on this recruiting cycle. Seeing Coach Ewing means alot to these recruits...even more for the high school coaches/parents..our future is bright in terms of the staff bringing in talent.

Quick search on this kid... 4 stars according to whom? He doesn't even have a profile on most services. Coach Willie is taking some serious liberties there...
Not criticizing the staff (esp. Kirby in South) - I'm sure he's worth a look.

I like the kid’s highlights. He knows how to create for others....great vision. Could have some decent shooting range. I’m a bit surprised that even at that height that he seems to play below the rim. I love the possibility of adding some height and length at the PG position.

I think Omer gets us a look at the Turkish pipeline. Hopefully, it is robust.

To go with Arizona and Baylor, King said his son is establishing relationships with Georgetown, UConn, Charlotte, Oregon, TCU and UCF. It was also noted that King is also speaking with a few European and Australian clubs.
