****Official Class of 2019 Recruiting Thread****

[LLCoolCY]

update with Luke Anderson, I would like to hear of a visit set soon...

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/anderson-talks-uga-iowa-state-georgia-tech-usf

Anderson made it pretty clear that Georgia and Iowa State are his top two schools right now. They are the two schools recruiting him hardest, and assistant coaches Chad Dollar from Georgia and William Small from Iowa State have built the strongest relationships with him so far.
Florida is the school to keep an eye on here still if it decides to get serious with him. South Florida is also heavily in the mix as it is only an hour away and he’s a believer in Brian Gregory.
Georgia Tech has recruited him hard enough to remain in the mix if it chooses to get more serious during July. Anderson’s plan is to take visits after July and then make a decision prior to his senior season.

Sign me up for Tandy and Anderson right now. If we can land those two, it should be another solid class for us.

Now is the point in the year where I get nervous we don’t have a player committed yet. Every year I feel like we are behind, then we land some players

Assume then that you aren't counting Leech? I realize we have no confirmation.

Eh I like him as a possible former five star who Micky get through injuries and we got a steal. We shall see

Funny, I was looking at that ranking and thought to myself how Matthew Hurt has to be one of the higher rated white guys in the last handful of years, right?

Are we still in on Drew Timme? He's 39th.

Luke Anderson fell out of the top 150, was #137. No Leech either

 

[Dandy]

Best name: Kofi Cockburn.

The one they do have dropped 17 spots.

I do not believe we are in the best position for him, but we are still in on him.

 

[acgclone]

Right now Leech, Tandy and Anderson appear to be the most likely. The rest of the kids on that list don't seem to be seriously considering ISU, but you never know with how close to the vest this staff is.

 

[LLCoolCY]

Guess the hiring of Kane wasn't enough to delay Smith from committing early in the process.

@EvanDaniels 2019 four-star wing Diante Smith just verbally committed to Alabama. Smith is Avery Johnson's first pledge of the class.

 

[LLCoolCY]

Some video of KyKy from a local UK reporter with a nice quote with the summary story.

"It’s a shame that things went sour between Tandy and UK. Tandy is a great player and could be a candidate to be one of the best scorers in college basketball if he stays until his junior or senior season."

I doubt UK will be a player in Tandy's recruitment as was a concern early in the process.
