Big pick-up for Ray. 2015 is looking like a big class for us

Tookie Brown, a PG out of Georgia. Rated as low as a 3 star, but a 4 star here, some good info as well:

If we pick up Newman, look out for Ray and the bulldogs in 2015.

Sounds like a white dude**

Ray seems to like under sized guards...

maybe this one can knock it down from deep.

On another note, Newman is out of MS bound...

Offers from us and UAB. I hope Calipari doesn't swoop in and take him.

I'm a huge Ray fan, but if he doesn't learn how to recruit then it might be a short tenure for him.

I'm not sure what to think to think at this point. Ray's getting some pieces together that should finally give us a complete roster by 2016, but he sure isn't doing much to boost the overall talent level. According to 247, none of our 2015 commits have single offer from a power conference D1 school. How long does Ray think his leash is?

#7 in GA at 25.6 points a game. He can score. Nice pickup. http://www.maxpreps.com/leaders/basketball/,scoring/georgia/stat-leaders.htm

Ready is turning into an option for us behind the 3 pt line.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

isn't Newman a point guard?

That class is ranked 5th nationally and tookie is a 3 star 88. Not a scrub

Given the improvement pattern he's currently showing on the court, I'd imagine that he thinks it is pretty long.

I just don't see the point in complaining about his recruiting until we hit the ceiling with the talent level actually on the roster. We're still at least one year away from that happening...

That's fair, and I have little doubt that we're going to see significant on court improvement in the next 1-2 years. However, I guess that some of my frustration stems from my belief that as long as we're continuing accept commitments from 2-3* guys nearly two full years in advance of their class, Ray is setting up his eventual ceiling to be fairly low. Maybe he has a supreme eye for talent and all the "experts" are wrong about our '14 and '15 classes, but at some point, he's going to have to improve there and it's now looking like we're 3 more years away from that happening at a minimum.

 

[Seinfeld]

Definitely not a scrub and I imagine that he'll pick up a few more offers in time, but that #5 class ranking is pretty skewed right now since we're pretty much the only team in America that has 3 commitments for the '15 class already. Unless we either pick up another player or two or our current commitments get a big bump in ratings, this call will probably come in around #60 if it stays as is.
