Agreed, I think we sign three no matter what. Things will happen it wouldnt make sense to not atleast sign that many.
BREAKING: Georgia PG commits to 2020 recruiting class
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Perfectly said. Add in it showed that Prohm can recruit at a high level and get top 50 prospects to ISU. He and his staff identified Lindell to be the PG of ISU and got his commit. Anyone who thinks targeting and getting Lindell wasn't a good thing for ISU is just hurt he only stayed 2 years and left to pursue his dream of the NBA. (Which if LW succeeds will help ISU/Prohm by it's self.)
Recruiting is fluid and hard to say 3 "no matter what" but it is my expectation that Prohm was taking a PG (every year - check), then be looking at a wing and F/C. Safe to say Foster is priority 1 for the Post and ISU is after a number of wing prospects. Should be a fun fall to follow.
A few random thoughts I’ve had.
1. He’s only 170. A lot to be gained with just adding some weight.
2. His hands are huge. Some other guards with freakishly big hands, kawhi and rondo
3. He will likely have a year to learn behind some really good guards.
This kid is gonna be a huge steal, just you wait and see

I bet we end up with a 4 man recruiting class. I still wish we would have banked one for this class. I think we have some good options going though.
Barring injury, I think Tyrese is as good as gone. He had a helluva summer, and is only going to get better as the season progresses. It sucks, but yet doesn’t.
Maybe but you really never know.. He's only a sophomore and seems to absolutely love it at Iowa State. If he's on the edge of being a first or second rounder, I think he stays. If he's a for sure, 100% first rounder, I think he'll leave.
Regardless of what he tries to do, I hope he doesn't let it mess up his game or team chemistry like it clearly did with THT and LW last year.
Highly rated players are fine so long as they're bought in while in Ames.
Tyrese is probably the best culture/personality guy we have had in the program since Naz.
I am not big on Javan Johnson to be honest. Wish we would have banked that scholarship and went after another high school kid for this year.
I guess we could have, but Johnson as a redshirt junior is probably competitive with most freshmen imo. Guys he wouldn’t be, like a four or five star, we’ll make room for regardless.
Johnson is a raw player with really good athleticism and decent skill for his size who has a year of nothing but development and refinement for his game. It’s crazy to think that taking him wasn’t a good idea.
Yeah, it is all upside on him.
@FinalFourCy nailed it, though. If we really have a high 4* or 5* guy wanting to commit, a guy who could come in and instantly start on a good team with NCAA tournament ambitions, then they will find a way. Sometimes it is for the best for both sides that you find a new home for somebody at the back of your bench who was never going to see the court.
I say this on here all the time but in college basketball in 2019 you should have 1 or 2 sit out transfers on your team every year just for playing time balance. Otherwise you are going to lose your whole bench every year.
Haven't seen this dunk in this thread...
Also just another scouting report I found from a regional scout..

"The 6-foot-6 guard showed why he’s one of the top seniors in Georgia on Sunday. Walker played well and played fast. He showed off his athleticism and his finishing ability at the rim. Walker is a hard player to guard because of his size in the backcourt. He can score in a variety of ways and he can challenge defenders with his athleticism. We saw him finish in traffic and on defenders. We also saw some perimeter scoring touch that was hard to guard." - Justin Young
