‘20 NC SG Jaden Springer (UT commit 10/23/19)

[BruinVol]

Bailey, as a guard, naturally reduced the number of guards we were taking in the 2020 class.l.

Yep and that’s what you and I tried to tell bto. He didn’t want to hear it

 

[CAVPUT]

Gawd, we need a commit here. Just some good news...a part in the clouds....a little ray of sunshine...

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Its gonna happen.. Mark it down. Sources, man.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm excited to see what coach Barnes does with these highly ranked players. We know what he's been able to do with these under the radar types. Exciting times a coming.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lol
So yea he’s effecting a spot and directly our ability to go after Hayes


I hope that’s the right call.
Imo I’d rather have Bailey

How is he effecting that more than Plavsic, Gaines, Pember, Johnson, Walker Jr.?

If you’re saying he’s effecting it then you are saying so does everyone else...if we hadn’t taken Bailey, and instead pursued Ruzhentsev and Hall, who’s to blame for Hayes?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Yep and that’s what you and I tried to tell bto. He didn’t want to hear it

You initially tried to claim it in General effected numbers for 2020, it didn’t.

 

[golfballs]

Well that point has nothing to do with the original point about Bailey and minutes available at guard...I could see Walker starting, or Fulk, or ORN.

It could. Depends on the strength/flexibility of the front court.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

I feel like Springer isn’t ranked higher because of his injury which kept him out of AAU most of the summer.

 

[BruinVol]

You initially tried to claim it in General effected numbers for 2020, it didn’t.

Lol

How the hell can you say with a straight face it doesn’t effect the 2020 when we literally just canceled a visit from a top 30 player?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

It could. Depends on the strength/flexibility of the front court.

You asked about baileys situation, at PG, lets stick to that instead of Fulk or ORN at the 4.

 

[headhunter15]

Coach Barnes our here building a potential juggernaut of a program! Love it! I cannot wait for basketball season!

Lol

Yes they all count

All 13 of them count. That’s the entire point and why we just canceled Hayes visit

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lol

How the hell can you say with a straight face it doesn’t effect the 2020 when we literally just canceled a visit from a top 30 player?

So if we don’t talk bailey, and we now pursue Hayes, what’s the reason then that we don’t pursue Josh Hall? Or Samson Ruzhentsev?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lol

Yes they all count

All 13 of them count. That’s the entire point and why we just canceled Hayes visit

Funny, wasn’t your stance before, hold on while I go search...I only got about 45 minutes.

 

[butchna]

Long past due for us to conduct a telethon for you.

 

[BruinVol]

You know damn well if we don’t have bailey we would be trying to sign one more guard .

That’s obvious

 

[butchna]

Workin blue!

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Uh-Oh

So I’ll agree this transfer didn’t effect the 2020 class if we sign these guys in November


Johnson
Springer or any PG
Hall
Walker

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Ruh-Roh

I’ll side with you/VQ if we get Johnson and another commitment late summer and still bring in OVs that are planning to sign in November.

I think we will then slow play kids and wait for the spring

 

[BruinVol]

Ruh-Roh

Yea if you notice I said “I’d side with you”


Lol all your post to the contrary had me thinking since we lost Burns it wouldn’t matter. It did and you were wrong and so was I to let you change my mind

 

[bleedingTNorange]

bleedingtnorange:
Late summer or fall doesn’t matter...if we have 3 commits and still bringing in OV’s prior to fall signing period it’s pretty clear.

Sheeeeesh

Ok I’ll agree with that

 

[The Dog]

Maybe Bailey can be that spot up 3 point guy. Plus, if he hits a couple, they have to come out to defend and if he gets a step and puts the defender on his hip with his body/strength it's over. Hopefully, he can feel a Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson role. Where u @zjcvols ?

 

[BruinVol]

So since you are bringing up post here you

Correct. Taking Bailey came with the likely acceptance of oversigning by at least 1, or 1 more than they were previously likely willing to.

Taking Bailey isn’t costing them Springer or another top target.

Lol

It cost us being about to bring in Hayes. Sorry you were wrong

 

[SweetDaddy]

Good to see Barnes earning that 5 million.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Oooooouch

It’s very likely it’s going to be as simple as sitting back and seeing if we keep pursuing Hall. He appears to me to be the one that is likely hurt by Bailey
