Hey Roy, when you have a minute could you please give Greg Brown a call? He's lonely and hasn't heard from you in a while.
Thanks,

2020 recruiting thread
- Thread starter Ozheelfan
- Start date
TOS reporting we offered Kerwin Walton, a shooting guard out of Minnesota ranked in the 90-100 range. Apparently he’s a pure shooter, shot 46% from three at the Adidas Championships on 54 shots.
I was just thinking yesterday that we’ve got a bunch of offers out to likely one-and-dones, and several for the 25-50 ranked guys (Puff, R.J. Davis, Timberlake, Dickinson, Garcia), but none for the solid four year player types. Now we do!

Means we think we are striking out at the top of the rankings.
Hmm, not sure. There was no realistic future where we landed 3 top 10 players, at least in my eyes. We have 5 scholarship openings for sure next year, potentially 6 or 7 depending on draft declarations and transfers. We simply need some long term players; can't be an entire roster of one-and-dones plus grad transfers. I think the staff just wants to collect more info on the long-term guys before offering; hard to tell which to go after when they're young.

This will actually be his 2nd OV to UNC. First visit was last years LNWR (unofficial). Then he took an OV for the Duke game, now another OV. I think it's safe to say we have a very good shot at him?
Definitely.
However, given all that attention, if he leaves that weekend without giving one of those famed “silent verbals,” it would be concerning.
We need Williams and Love. Roy has put in too much work with their families to be spurned. That would be a 5-star PG, wing and big. Anything after that in this class is gravy.
I think I read this is the first time a recruit has ever taken a 2nd OV to Chapel Hill??
Wasn't even allowed before last year (they just started letting juniors take official visits), so not quite as impressive as it sounds but still a good sign.
Yes, we certainly need to land those two. It will be interesting with Love to see what happens. Nobody has recruited him harder and longer than Missouri. Does he stay in-state or leave for UNC? Also, UL is right there with him too.
Interesting read elsewhere concerning some kids discussing their collegiate plans.
Seems a few kids continue to discuss not so much package deals but that they would like to play together in college.
Couple of those are on our radar.
What deuceman said above, pg, Love is already talking coming in right behind Cole, wing, Ziaire likes UNC and a big, please let it be Kessler, wants a strong business school, we got that for ya big fella.
And then we wouldn't need gravy! Go Heels!!

I was lurking on the comments section of Evan Daniels IG and he seems to think we’re in good shape for Cade.... and speaking of the guys talking about playing together, Cade and Bryce Thompson have mentioned it. Each has OSU and UNC on their list....
I’d love to be wrong, but how many times has a family member been hired to land a top recruit and said recruit committed elsewhere? I honestly cannot think of any but I suppose there could be a couple examples.
Cade and Ziaire played together in AAU also.
Cade and Day'ron Sharpe also play together at Montverde.
They both played in the Nike Eybl league but on seperate teams. William's for the Oakland Soldiers and Cunningham for the Texas Titans.
Was his brother actually on staff? And with how well Ky pays, I can see how that could happen. I actually read somewhere that Monk’s brother advised him to go to uk because it was the best business decision for his career.
During his recruitment, another school hired a family member hoping to get a commitment, but obviously he went to UK.
Todd currently on campus w Mando as chaperone. He’s been here a lot lately... Chance we land him?
OV? so we have Todd, Love and Kessler on campus?
10% according to some experts
until he commits I dont believe we land todd. would love to be wrong though the guy is made for Coach Roy's offensive scheme
I reckon Todd is out to break Brandon Ingram’s record..... most free popcorn consumed by a Heels target who had no intention of signing
Can't see how Todd comes here now. Don't really care too much at this point! #walker
Are we on Caleb Love commitment watch?
Are we on Caleb Love commitment watch?
Experts are being super coy about something...I have a feeling it could be Caleb or they know someone is going to pop this upcoming weekend.
All over our own board, Twitter, and TOS there are hints that someone else is committing very soon and may have already given the staff the verbal.
I'd guess Caleb and that he wants to wait to let Walker get his time to shine here then will announce later in the week. They could have also gotten word that someone attending LNWR is planning to commit. It could ALSO be Todd from this weekend.
Exciting stuff!

Dean Smith?! I know what you meant. Lol. I just had to throw that out there
I am curious, so Roy was down to see Day'Ron and Cade at Montverde Thursday, Walker and Caleb visit this past week-end. Super recruiter and chaperone Armando gets quality time with Caleb.
Anyone feel like Roy may have mentioned to Cade that either he or Caleb would be his next pg.
Just a hunch but one of the two could be next and a Ziaire or Bryce by November?

He’s been selling Cunningham and Love on playing together. It makes sense because Cunningham is a surefire OAD, but Love is likely in college for 2 years. Furthermore, Cunningham is so versatile that they can definitely play together. Lastly, if you lock down Love, then you can play with house money in regards to Cunningham.
In other words, while Cunningham is the best player in the class, Love is the key. Hopefully these whispers are about him.
One would think that it would be Caleb Love, then again..., he would have to
cancel out any future OV's. He may be in the process of doing just that, I don't know..., for sure. This weekend will very, very interesting. I've heard that there should be at least 1 more, and perhaps another. The dominoes are starting to fall now, so, look for things to speed up where commitments are concerned before, after, or during LNWR.
wow we get one commitment and the optimism is lit up like a Christmas tree
