eepstein0 {l Wrote}:Chas Kelly to BC. Couple of good guard hits for Grant here in ‘22.

Another nice pick up.

Interesting to note that while he is listed as a SG on the various recruiting sites, in interviews he consistently says that he is a point guard.

I was thinking maybe he is more of a combo guard and based on his 6'5 frame they list him that way. Either way nice to have a couple guards with size that can handle coming in next year.

Aligbe committed this morning. Nice pick up.

Best pick-up thus far. Congrats to the staff. Real nice class they are building.

Wow this staff is really coming through on the recruiting trail. Who knows what will happen with these guys but I couldn't be more impressed.

I was not expecting the recruiting to be at this level for 22 when they hired Earl. Very happy with what they’ve done so far

Some unsubstantiated rumors that Reed will also commit to BC this afternoon.

It appears that smith no longer has a top 8

Picked Cincy

Big Armani Mighty committed yesterday. Big, atheltic and very raw. ACC body and athleticism. Skills need to catch up. Good long term development piece. Hopefully more *** ******* than Iddy Diallo. Is S. WILLIAMS a swear on this this board? Is comes out as stars when I type his name haha.

I just hope he is half as good as his name.

So that's it. 2 guards, and 2 bigs. Is there any other info re the newest recruit? After a quick search on youtube, there's one vid, but from 3 yrs ago.

after he smoked himself off the team, the yellow (with fear) names changed "*** *******" to *** ******* using autocorrect. you know it was the yellow (with fear) names because they didn't even get the number of stars correct.

i find that he is most often referred to as or with his official nba headshot (which reflects his attitude perfectly)

Developmental post player with ACC level athleticism and size. Apparently a good rim protector.

an important attribute given the current white lotus trends.

This kid is the type of risk BC should be taking. Overall I have zero issues with this ‘22 class. All kids with peer or better offers and that fit the vision of the coach.

Happy with the 2022 class gives me hope for the future.

I'd have to imagine they're done with the '22 class unless an amazing opportunity presents itself.

TJ Power will be a big target for them in '23.

I wish these coaches would realize we play in the ACC. Early indications are Grant doesn’t understand that either.

Yet another giant L for the "judge by skin tone" school of player analysis.

He's our best player as a freshman.

Nothing to do w/skintone.

He's fine. Fairfield was his best game. Feels like a solid off the bench player or spot starter. Much better than a lot of the PGs I've seen come through here. He will get exposed against quicker PGs.

I was judging off of the limited tape I saw and the other D1 coaches saw that didnt recruit him. Obviously it looks like most people were wrong. It happens.

good news from houston

first '23 commit, G Fred Payne from Houston

Casey Simmons committed to Northwestern. Great job by the staff. JC gets pounded by Duke Collins at home by 18 points, Northwestern finishes with an 8-22 record, and Duke Collins finishes JC off by plucking a Mass Rivals kid.

casey is in the portal, played 11 min per game as a fr, 3 points 2 rebounds

Are all of the 13 scholarships spots occupied at this point? If not, how many spots are open for add'l incoming transfers?

MF73-Eleazar {l Wrote}:Are all of the 13 scholarships spots occupied at this point? If not, how many spots are open for add'l incoming transfers?

12 spots are taken, one remaining.

Guards: MAL, Zackery, Hand, Kelley
Wings: Langford, Aligbe, Madsen, McGlockton
Bigs: Post, Bickerstaff, Mighty, Penha

I'm skeptical that scholarship #13 actually gets used. Makai and possibly CJ Penha are the only ones leaving after this year, so it hurts the 2023 class to take a flyer on a last-minute 2022 guy. There's always the transfer portal for a one-year flyer - I wouldn't mind another big, but at this point it won't be an impact player.
