Way up there
Due to broad range or offers to PG's, I think Prohm's ideal scenario would be to pick up 2 in the class one 4 star type who he can feature in the Morris/Payne mold someone who could possibly go pro early and a 3 star (120-150 rank) who he can develop behind the 4 star.

I think the strategy is right on but I think with Jackson on the roster next year, what you are talking about will be one PG in '17 and one in '18.

From a rivals site:

[FONT=&quot]Senior combo guard Nick Weatherspoon (Rivals four-star and No. 32 player in country) was blunt in saying Mississippi State, Ohio State, Louisville, North Carolina and NC State, were the current favorites to get an official visit. The Camden, Miss., product added that Indiana, Memphis and Iowa State,= are working him hard and will need to continue to do so.[/FONT]

Looks like things are still good with Isiah Stokes. Big man prospect.

@joehoopsreport: Curie's Elijah Joiner picks up an offer from Iowa State. The 6-2 guard one of the top half dozen prospects in senior class in Illinois.

I hope Fran doesn't come sniffing around..the hoks have Chicago locked up from what I hear via podcasts and from fans.

Illinois just landed a 5 star PF. Wonder if that helps or hurts us with Lewis. They already have a 4 star PG and a 3 star SG lined up and are probably favorites for Jordan Goodwin so they might not have any scholarships left.

No sure if we were really recruiting him very hard but Blake Harris just committed to Washington.

Edit: Twins beat me to it

Still amazes me how much talent Romar continues to bring in. Hasn't UW missed the NCAA tournament for like 5 straight years now???? What gives?

I guess it sort of suggests that we as fans put too much stock in recent team success and how it affects recruiting. Still can't hurt tho

We are good, have a lot of playing time to offer in 2017, and we have a fantastic game environment to sell.

It should add up to a good class but we have some really unproven power 5 recruiters, so we'll have to see.
