Offer 2-3&4 now. Another 18 kid I wanted, can't remember his name.

 

[Sk1310]

great to see the interest in 2018 big men

Are you talking about a big guy?

Yes

David McCormack out of Norfolk?

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Silvio De Sousa out of Fla

 

[FlaTarHeel]

I worry about his "surroundings".

 

[TPFKAPFS]

Hamilton?

 

[Archer2]

Hamilton?

We've offered and FWIW, all 8 of the prognosticators on 247 have him going to UNC. As I said, FWIW. I really want to see this young guy at UNC.

6-8 SF 209 lbs 4* recruit from Concord

Have not heard that.

I'm real high on Hurt and Bacot. Would love to have both.

Brown ranked 6th nationally, already has offers from most of the blue bloods but not UNC. Sure would be nice to reopen that NYC pipeline we used to enjoy.

 

[BillyL]

Matthew Hurt prolly isn't going to happen for us . .

 

[viking131]

Read somewhere?, that Todd discusses UNC lots...

I think we can get Bacot as well.

 

[Tom79]

For now as poster above said 1,2 & 4 right now! Oh and Go Heels!

 

[Archer2]

Matthew Hurt prolly isn't going to happen for us . .

Any insight as to why? FWIW, 247 has 50% KU, 17% UNC/UofL/Minn.

 

[dadika13]

It's SO early, I just don't know how you can think one way or another definitively.

Kansas I believe will get this guy

 

[RoseHeel]

Really want to see Joey Baker get an offer. #1 Player in NC

 

[Kadyn930]

I'm on board with offering 2,3 and 4 as well. Also Todd has a chance to be very special VERY! There is another kid in the 2020 class who I believe is a UNC fan his name is Jaden Springer from Charlotte another kid who has chance to be very good.

 

[TPFKAPFS]

Todd, Bacot, Hamilton, and Hurt and I'm a happy camper!
(Don't know Brown, but I love the height!)

Possible.
I saw a report that he went "off" this weekend at Adidas Gauntlet. Knocking down 3's like they were layups.

I have stated many times that in my opinion he means more to the "program itself" than Knox. And it's not close

Saw that too. Think it was reported on TOS. Give this kid an offer and make it a White/Dotson situation with him and Moore.

Or both, if we're lucky.

We will get 1 of them

It's more like him and Hurt.

Different positions, different type of players.

Hurt= inside/out stretch 4
Baker= wing/forward who can put the ball on the floor

 

[RoseHeel]

It's more like him and Hurt.

Like FlaTarHeel said, they seem to be 2 different players. But I'd take our chances with Baker over chasing unicorns with Hurt in a heartbeat.

 

[FlaTarHeel]

RW will go hard after Hurt, as he should.
Baker will get love as well.

IMHO, I think we can get both.

I would take that in a heartbeat

 

[Tom79]

Could it be another first in type of thing...Roy will be loyal to Hurt but he will not hold a spot if he has another kid ready to go.

 

[gauchoheel]

Will take pretty much any of the guys mentioned in this thread. Just get a couple of them, and have one of them be a big guy.

There is a rumor that he is getting prepped to end up at Minnesota and play for Michael Corleone Jr..
I'm not so sure that is set in stone however... I hope not. I REALLY like this kid as a prospect.

A source who claims to know the family says Hurt will transfer to a private school and then play with his brother in the land of lakes (and cold , cold too). I would assume Roy has some knowledge of this IF legit.

...thus my choice of the verb "prepped".
It's so much warmer down south, Matthew. Jes' sayin'...

I really like Keldon Johnson, but we seemed to have backed off.

It seems we homed in on Langford instead of him. Kinda unfortunate, I'd have liked our chances much better with him.
