I believe Spencer is the only one that hasn't signed.

OP updated.

Per AUC TJ Dunnans school had fax machine issues yesterday. NLI is expected in this morning. Horace Spencer is expected to sign w/ AU before the week is over.

I know quality bigs are hard to come by, but we need at least one more in addition to Spencer. Maybe even a transfer.

Eta: I forgot about Reed. If he gets in we may be ok.

He would help but I think we need 1 more somewhere down the line. The earliest Reed is eligible is mid December. I would like us to have 4 quality kids combined at the 4 and 5 spots. If Reed gets in then next year we'll have Bowers, Spencer, Reed, and Atawe if he can recover from his tough injury. I would like the staff to find another big if possible as insurance on Atawe.

Added Bryce Brown to the Players to watch list. He has picked up 4 crystal balls to flip to AU. He is visiting AU this weekend and plans a final decision by next Wednesday.

This is what I was focusing on. We are going to be very small this year.

I'm a bit of a pessimist on these things, but I would be surprised if he ever plays again for AU.

That's not being pessimistic. That's being logical given his current circumstances.

Per Rivals Bryce Brown decommitted from Charlotte Sunday night. He UOVed AU last weekend and will OV AU this weekend. JLee expects him to sign with AU tomorrow.

-JLee talked to Horace Spencer's dad who said HS may wait til May to sign. JLee said HS is getting a lot of in state pressure to go to UNLV but the AU staff was optomistic HS would sign with AU during the early signing period.

Doubt they have much of an effect on him. He is a Philly kid and just transferred to Findlay Prep last year.

Never know. UNLV was a national power and could easily be again some day.

Don't think you realize how big a deal UNLV basketball is in state. Runnin Rebs are wildly popular in Vegas and FIndley is right there.

Would be like the pressure people give a kid who just moved to BHam. He may not be from there but people are in your ear

I want Horace Spencer bad. I think his ceiling is through the roof with his measurables and athleticism.

With Derrick Jones most likely about to commit to UNLV it looks like you are going to get your wish.

I don't follow basketball at all. Are we going to potentially be a tournament team by next year or is this kind of like building from scratch?

It's starting from scratch but given the high turnover of kids leaving at other schools plus the recruiting class we have coming in plus how good Canty is at the point per reports then we should be bo worse than a bubble team next year.
