If anyone remembers Josh Langford from a few years ago we are apparently trying to pursue him via transfer from MSU. Former 5* who has had a few injuries the past 1.5 years. If he can stay healthy and transfers vs staying or going to the NBA that’d be a huge pickup. From AL originally. LINK

I mean it was outside on a court they've never shot on..... I wouldn't put much stock, if any, into the shooting and 3 point contest from last night.

Wiley hit 3 in a row for crying out loud. Obviously doesn't mean he's an elite 3pt shooter

??? LINK / ??? I can't seem to find that info anywhere? He was supposed to be a hard Vandy lean, so I guess that wouldn't be a huge shock taking academics into consideration

Cooper visiting tomorrow with new AU commit and AOT teammate Devan Cambridge.

Feeling like we could get an announcement

Ill back up Chin with a few things from reading some sites:

Jay Tate continues to say there’s a surprise PG that will be on the team at some point. Thinks it’s Cooper not reclassifying, but graduating early like Wiley did and joining the team in December.

Very reputable poster (jhead) predicted Cooper, Stone, and Kessler to commit to AU by the end of July - If so, it’s going to be an interesting couple of weeks. Lot of people think it’s us or Duke for Kessler. Maybe having Powell will push it over the finish line for us since they’re good friends?

Not getting Cooper would be beyond disappointing at this point. Rivals national guy had this to say in an article on who the next big commitment is:

“I'm going to go with Sharife Cooper popping for Auburn at some point in the near future. I'm honestly not even sure he's visited any other schools throughout the recruiting process. He's been to Auburn numerous times, and I'm told spent a lot of time recruiting for Auburn on its big recruiting weekend at the beginning of June.”

After that, who knows what happens. Boston and other 5*s you don’t say no to but we’ll be in a spot to be really selective.

The 2021 squad could really be something special...

Cooper
Stone/Powell
Okoro
??? Williams probably
Kessler

Well, Ruffin just decommitted after 11 days. Just got bumped to #35 overall in 2021. Must be scared of Cooper.

Powell is far from a 3*. He missed all of last season when he transferred HS, but like I said a few pages back he went off at the Nike event with the most elite players in the country.

Cooper + Powell is a really nice start to this class. Brown or Kessler would truly make it elite.

I actually heard he may have work to do to qualify for a P5 school? It would make sense considering he didn’t even get an invite to the combine or the elite camp... Pretty odd move IMO considering his pedigree. A good year at a P5 school against good competition could really shoot him up the boards. We’ll see where he fall, I’d guess late 2nd no guaranteed contract.

On another note getting Greg Brown back is HUGE. This guy is an absolute freak athlete. Legit 6’8 and super long. If he can develop some better ball handling and shot you may be looking at a superstar. Hopefully that helps at least get Cooper to make the trip. Here’s Brown if you’d like to look LINK /

2020 class of Cooper, Brown, Kessler, & Powell would be unreal. Have a chance to get them all together this weekend.

Some folks out there think that we're a big time player for Greg Brown. Truly a freak athlete, lottery pick style player.

EDIT: And also seemed to have bonded with Rife at the USA stuff. Hooks was saying that we may have the #1 class in 2020, that'd be the case if Boston Jr, Greg Brown, and Shariffe Cooper all went our way and I think that's what he was alluding to. They all just got done playing on team USA together.

JHoke followed up Cooper winning POY with this tweet: LINK

“Say hello to Jared Harper’s replacement, Sharife Cooper. He just won @USATODAY National Player of the Year. All Cooper did this year was average 29 points, 9 assists, six boards and four steals, notch four 40-point games, win a state title and go 32-0.”

No doubt he’s been watching this F4 run. Him and Okoro being such good friends (who is apparently also friends with Okeke) has to make us feel good about eventually landing him. Problem is if he reclassified to 2019 it means sweet Jared has to leave, or we miss out and he goes to UK.

FTR Steven Hooks also retweeted with the sunglasses emoji a couple times... Whatever that means.
