Need to land one of any good PG’s in 2016.
Winston has been at 2 basketball games this year already and as of now is receiving most interest from Big 10 schools. With the contending teams I like our chances since state already has a few pgs and we are a point guard oriented offense.
U of D Jesuit defeats Milan 69-56 led by Cassius Winston with 30 points and 7 assists.

To think we were his leader at one point…one can only dream
Findlay Prep (NV) G Derryck Thornton Jr. (@DerryckThornton) scores 19 PTS vs. Wayne @FindlayPrep

Derryck Thornton has been great tonight. Playing with the speed and athleticism he's known for, but very controlled, especially on offense

Its seriously depressing to listen to you guys on this forum. You act like the guy is just gone. These kids play this stuff up, they love the drama. I’m sure well be right there when he is ready to decide.

In all seriousness, what (if any) evidence do you have that would suggest we will be “right there”? We are fading by the day, and we don’t have a history of closing if we’re being honest

Hard to be positive when there is nothing recruiting wise to be positive about.
Why would we start out as his top choice if he wasn’t interested? He knows about Duke and UK and could have put them at the top of his board to begin with. What evidence do you have that we aren’t in touch with him?

Key words - we started. Huge perception and circumstance changes during the last 9 months. It’s essentially the identical way UM started out leading for Booker, Kennard, Bluiett, Coleman, etc. and ended up with nothing.
End of the vid, he says were doing a great job. If were not in his top five, then who is in better position than us after Duke, UK, and UL? Sounds like well make his top five. A lot can change between now and the late summer to early fall when he decides.

While he DOES in fact say we are, it was after the reporter specifically asked about us, and what else is he supposed to say? Also, I wouldn’t say being behind Duke, Kentucky, and Louisville is in “good position.”

Point is that we were his leader, and in the top 2 at minimum, 6-9 months ago. At this point, we might be a distant third. You can see where this is heading…the heartbreak hotel
Can we just we get 1 of our 4 PG targets please. Apparently, Goodin had a monster dunk last night

The more I see of Goodin the more I believe he is the best option for us after DTJR.
I’ll tell you what, Goodin is having a MONSTER season. Jumpshot has some mechanical issues, but his combination of size, strength, ballhandling, and courtvision is special. Baron Davis type player, but doesn’t have the ability to shoot off the bounce like Baron
…who are “Plan B” guys after Thorton, Goodin, and Winston?

Don’t have any inside info…but I’d assume DT was the Plan A, Winston 1A, with Goodin and Ramsey being plan Bs. I think we’re on to Plan C types at this point assuming we don’t land one of the 4.
Would be nice to get a recruiting update from Dylan in order to put all this speculation to bed. I hate seeing Mr. Izzo putting together a remarkable '15 crew and we have nothing going on so far.
In fairness to Dylan, not really much positive to report. You can pretty much sum it up in one line - still strong for Towns, not much going on elsewhere

It might just be that there isn’t anything worth updating. We had Langford visit a few weeks ago and Brown coming in a month, but other than that, its bupkis.
