bb recruiting

[HBCoug]

This year's team is rather loaded as far as depth, on paper. It is reported that Hamlin is also walking on. I realize he is paper thin and injury prone, but according to some he has a nice touch. Plus, he's a walk on. Not many get somebody 7'2" with a few skills to walk on.

I heard Jennifer Hamson's brother was walking on too! Maybe we could dub the two of them the "twin towers" or something.

Yep. I couldn't remember the name as is obvious. Thanks for correcting me.

The Utes get a commit from Jayce Johnson. 4-star center. Johnson just reclassified and will enroll in January 2016. He will be paying his own way his first semester with Utah. His final 3 were Cal, Utah, and Colorado. Cal was the only one with a scholarship for this upcoming season, but he elected to pay his way at Utah.

Lauri Markkanen is down to Utah, UNC, and Arizona. He visited this last weekend and would be a huge get for the Utes.

I'm sure Coach Roberts would love to add her to the squad.

4 schools in 4 years, sounds like he won't be any problem for the Ute coaching staff. ESPN also only grades him as an 81, according to SeattleUte he sucks.

[TripletDaddy]

strange that a 4-star recruit would only have 3 offers. What's the scoop?

4 schools in 4 years, and he is a fringe 4 star at best.

Your jealousy is showing on this one.

Rivals has him ranked 67 in his class
http://sports.yahoo.com/usf/basketba...Johnson-153589

Scout has him ranked 59 in his class
http://www.scout.com/player/174705-jayce-johnson

ESPN has him ranked 81st in the top 100
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/ba.../jayce-johnson

As for offers, he doesn't have 3 offers. He had lots of offers, those were just the schools he narrowed it down to. This is a solid commitment for Krystkowiak. Johnson will get a year in the program and get to take over for Poeltl next year.

Markannan would obviously be huge and you would probably not even be able to find a negative with that one. I'm hoping that Hanno can get us the assist with Markannan.

Remind why I should be jealous? We are talking an entitled kid who has played for 4 teams in 4 years and his parents have enabled him every step of the way. First sign of trouble this kid is running.

He is also ranked for 2016, not 2015. Huge difference.

So you are saying the recruiting class for 2015 is so heads and shoulders better than 2016 that a high ranking in 2016 is not a big deal? I trust you on this one. It isn't like I follow recruiting all that much. I am excited about this get for Utah. I'm guessing that you would be excited for a top 100 center regardless of moving around a few times in high school and being classified in a later class. I trust that Krystkowiak can deal with any of his alleged entitlement.

That would be awesome if Hanno could help you guys get Lauri.

BYU has a top 100 center that has moved a little...from Alpine to Provo to Italy. he is pretty exciting.

That isn't a move. More like a long walk.
