Perhaps we are being iced by the TTO program? seems like it...suspect self-pride on both sides. But this 2019 class will go a long way to determining Ewing's recruiting chops under his tenure. |

I really like Ewing's 2018 class. Of course, I loved 2011 and 2014 as well, and things happened ... some controllable and some not.
But one of III's biggest weaknesses was that he could not recruit quality volume year in and year out. I understand you aren't going to get stars every year at every position, but the developmental guys who had a chance to backfill the stars rarely panned out, and nearly every year we went into the season with a significant hole in the starting lineup.
Perhaps only the very early III teams had an above average BE player at every position. When the guards were great, we had only Julian Vaughn down low and no one else. When the bigs were great, we ran out no one at guard.
Next year, even if the whole class develops (and it likely won't), we still will lose Govan and Kaleb and maybe someone else. We need a big 2019 class, not just down low but in prep for providing depth, etc. III could never get there. I wonder if Pat can.

Feels like Pat’s recruiting classes are treandjng up after both years. And this year has the potential to be even better.

Yurt7 will slot in for Govan and kids will be a year older. Kaleb is replaceable and ‘19 class may yield some players.

Georgetown has thrown out a wide net this summer as it is not in the lead for any rising seniors. However, it is targeting Will Baker, Kofi Cockburn, Akok Akok, Aidan Igiehon, Isaiah Stewart, Donta Scott and Jaiden DeLair in the frontcourt, along with Anthony Harris, Jalen Gaffney, and Lester Quinones in the backcourt. They will only have to replace Jessie Govan and Kaleb Johnson after this season, so there is not a pressing concern in the 2019 class for the Hoyas, so they can survive swinging and missing at some of their top targets. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/wednesday-s-leftovers-more-twitter-mailbag-on-louisville-tcu-more |
