Isaac Humphries, australian standout, to UK, same case as Mykhailiuk, he wont be able to declare after his first season because he will only be 18 through the year, he will get this year to UK at age 17.
So a guaranteed two year guy, terrific get.

Ulis-Briscoe
Murray-Hawkins/Mulder
Poythress-Matthews/Mulder
Lee-Willis/Wynyard*
Labissiere-Humphries/Wynyard*

Not so sure about that frontcourt, spacing, but knowing Cal it is likely that he starts them and then make the first sub and go smaller.
*Still up in the air if Wynyard will reclassify or not.

Briscoe plays the two Murray the three poythress the 4. The Mulder and Matthews kids can sub for one of the pgs early so one of the pgs have backup. Cal made the comment today how nba pfs are getting smaller in reference to poythress. Hes a star at the 4. He averaged 15 and 10 at the Bahamas trip last year playing the 4 but at the 3 shows his offensive weaknesses

Really hope Hornets can land Smith or Giles. Would love a homestate guy as our franchise player.

And I really hope Ayton pans out. Dwight Howard with a jumper would be very scary.

IIRC, the scouting reports I read on Dwight Howard was that he had a faceup game, but he was pigeonholed into being like Shaq.

Does Ayton possess the athleticism that Dwight has?

i don't think he's as bouncy. Goes end to end pretty well though.

Ayton has better size than Howard though.

Sucks that Smith tore his ACL. He's young so I think he'll be able to get back to where he was before.

he should be able to. just hope it doesn't completely ruin his explosion. Giles seems to have come back 100 percent so there's hope for Dennis.

Ferg to Bama is surprising.

Under Armour is starting to flex its muscle.

Don't be surprised to see guys like Josh Jackson head to Maryland or the SEC since that is where UA seems to be concentrating its money.

Ferguson played for basically an Alabama supported AAU team, sponsored by Mo Williams and an Alabama booster. His former AAU coach was also signed on at Alabama as an assistant coach by Avery Johnson. Ferguson also went to school and played along Avery Johnson Jr. Too many connections there for him not to go to Alabama.

Chuck Everett · Post #1258 » by **Chuck Everett** » Thu Aug 20, 2015 3:46 pm

Avery Johnson also has connections to Texas and Louisiana AAU programs. He's also a world champion former NBA point guard. He's going to get some players.

Anyone here seen Zach Collins play? Saw some of his mixtape and he looks intriguing. Can post-up and stretch the defense all way behind the arc.
