Gators a Finalist for Grad Transfer Guard

[LeeForThree]

Wow. I can't wait to see him.

Also from the article "White said that over 100 recruits has been crossed of their board due to social media." When will kids realize this stuff affects them.

I agree, but it depends on the social media post. 100 seems way to high to be crossing them off for questionable posts. It needs to really bad to not consider them.

100 does seem high, but kids are idiots when it comes to social media.

I thought he was referring to his time as a head coach, which would be over a few years, not just one; if so, I don't think crossing off 100 players over a few years is such a big deal (whereas one year would be a big deal).

250? Wow. I can't wait to see him play. If he kept his same shooting skills he may be a headache for teams. But, give him time.

Also from the article "White said that over 100 recruits has been crossed of their board due to social media." When will kids realize this stuff affects them.

I suspect the truth may be more like 100 recruits have been crossed off their board due to character concerns that were in part revealed on social media. I suspect that 90 to 95 of those 100 would have been crossed off pre-social media days. A few who might have slipped through revealed enough about themselves on social media to be added to the bigger group.

On Stone, White elsewhere has said Stone had an excellent sit out year but do not expect him to average 25 points a game next year or anything like that. So I am very encouraged by reports on Stone. A cautionary note would be Francis-Ramirez who is apparently very good in practice, but has yet to be able to consistently translate it into game action.

Also in that article White is quoted as saying, “any guy who averaged 10 and 8 and can make a free throw can help us” The only transfer I have seen mentioned that had numbers anything like that is Pryor.

Hester 6'9" wingspan sounds good to me too. I think we will have a very solid squad this year.

UF had a very solid squad this year too, but shakey guard play particularly PG play. Yes UF will have a very solid squad next year, but if one of the two PGs can not provide consistent good play and leadership, then UF will likely struggle down the stretch again.

Yup, I agree. We need Hill to be consistent and takeover. Hopefully Hester can provide some good minutes as well. I've all but given up on Chiozza, but who knows maybe he will turn it around too.

247 sports has Diallo coming in for an official visit to UF:

"According to his Brewster Academy coach Jason Smith, Diallo will officially visit Oklahoma State this weekend and then officially visit Florida the April 25-26."

Says in the article about Jolly that he's from Oklahoma, so don't know how long he's been at Delray Beach. Big12 would make sense if he's from that area. No offer from us, according to Rivals, and he's going to visit OKSt and the Zags later this week. 247 has him as 60% to Baylor, 20% to OKSt and 20% to TX.

The skinny: A four-star shooting guard from Oklahoma, Jolly was actually a Rivals150 member in 2015 and is finishing a year of prep school. He recently de-committed from California and is fresh off of a visit to Baylor. New Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood is working furiously to get involved and Jolly will visit OSU this weekend.

Looks like he is coming for a visit. That is great news. Now we just need White to close the deal!

Yes Diallo is visiting but we are not high on his list. Probably going to be Providence or VCU

Rodney Pryor has committed to Georgetown. Not too worried about this one, didn't think he was a great shooter like we need. Hopefully we can land 2 of Gak, Greek Freak's lil bro and Barry.

You did say White was going to be making some moves.

I too would have liked to have had Pryor. I think he could have helped out a lot.

He was supposed to visit yesterday. Wonder what happened?

 

[MertzJay26]

Maybe I'm wrong, but he strikes me as a volume shooter with a lower percentage.

Why would he go to St Johns? If we get him on campus for a visit I think we have a shot

Good chance for White to show he can recruit and flip Diallo on the visit. If he visits he has some interest and it means we have a chance....

I figured it was something like that. Wonder if that means we need the room for someone we want more?
