I'm probably in the minority, but I don't want Fletcher. I don't see much basketball skill.
I'm a little skeptical as well. To me, him and Enaruna are so similar; very athletic, highly rated as recruits, limited time and production at a blue blood, but lots of potential. I'm just not sure it's best to have two of those guys on the roster. Rather than taking a guy like Baker or Arms, who played at a lower level, but did have production.
I'll trust TJ's talent evaluation. If he's certain he can unlock the potential, then it'll be a homerun.
Not arguing as I know the 247 assessment of him was very skilled athlete who lacked a strong basketball IQ but I think he had one of the top offer lists in his class. I counted 25 P6 offers with almost every blue blood except Duke. I think the whole UK team was kind of a train wreck this year. I think he’s definitely worth taking a chance on.

I have the same thought, but I have to remember that both guys are 19 years old, and their best basketball is way ahead of them. They are both extremely skilled, and maybe being at “focus town” with a new coaching staff that boasts developing players might do some good.
Very good catch. That’s interesting.. I’d very much love to add this guy. Averages 8 rebounds a game in his career playing in the ACC?? Give me some of that.
Also if you watch his highlights, most of them were him finding a body or a spot when the shot went up for him to be able to have the best chance at rebounding the ball. And his footwork was elite.
His career conference per 40 min are 8 ppg, 3.1 assists to 1.2 TOs, and 9.4 rpg. That’s impressive.
What do guys think of Arms, and Baker? Both more like 3 wings, good shooters, but also both able to handle the ball, dribble/drive.
Having a guy like Enurena now, along with the other bigs, gives us the flexiblility to go after a 6-5, 6-6 wing, who could also play the 2 in a pinch. Still thinking we need a little insurance at the guard spot. I mean what if Hunter got injured, we'd really be hurting.
And shooters, we need shooters. Both Arms and Baker seem to be very good there. Are we/they interested?
I honestly don’t think we should go after one and done type guys since I think it will take two long to gel. Them again TJ might want that scholarship open for the next year so we might do it just for a player like Arms.
I guess a thing I didn't realize until I relooked at the stats, but Arms only started one game for Winthrop and his 10 and 5 he averaged was in 17 minutes a game. His Per 40s are nuts, but makes you wonder why they couldn't keep him on the floor with that production.
Edit: OK looking again, looks like other than one guy, Winthrop played their starting lineup in the low 20 minutes, and did platoons almost. Weird.
Don't talk yourself out of a 6'7" freak athlete who had offers from virtually every school in the country. There is ALWAYS a place for that on a roster. Keep in mind Xavier Foster is a uniquely skilled stretch forward. Hunter/Lipsey/King all extremely skilled. You need those freakish athletic traits that Enaruna and Fletcher possess as well.
Winthrop played a lot of mass subs. Their coaches philosophy was that he wanted you to come in for a couple minutes and give your all and then bring the next guy in to do the same. Fun team to watch.
I honestly don't know a ton about those specifically, but my wish list from looking at the current roster is for someone with the ability to play 2-4 on both ends.
This was a name that I was following early on (due to previous recruiting).
Sucks that he's ending up there.
Also, Jalen Terry to Depaul (can't find the tweet)

Yes, I read that. Will have to go back and look at that again. Something about this Friday too wasn't it? AhDuh, today is Friday.
Seems like about every three years Depaul has a great recruiting class and everyone goes "Watch out for Depaul". Then they do absolutely nothing.
Huge news baylor nation. Baylor men’s basketball just picked up a really strong point guard from Arizona! He is 6 ft 1 inch tall and 185 pounds (Jr/Sr). He averaged 15.6 PPG, 53 for 130 on 3 pointers (40.8%), 104 for 127 on free throws (81.9%), 2.3 rebounds per game, 5.4 assists per game, commits 2.3 turnovers per game, 1.4 steals per game, and 2 fouls per game.
