Hope we can win this one. Not necesarilly the beef we want at least for next year, but anything to improve the talent base of the team which is critical.
Kadary, Woody, and Frank would not quite be MCW, Rak, and Trevor or Fab, Dion, and CJ but its an improvement over years past.

Landing a kid with his potential skill set this late in the game is always a big plus I hope we can pull it off but it’s sure been a weird one.

Jesse might end up being a stretch 4, but I can't see him at center because he's too weak. Don't really know what we have with JBA. Sidibe is a crap shoot to stay out of foul trouble, and can he continue to be healthy? We really need another big. Hope the staff can pull this one out.

Jesse is weak for sure and I have never seen him in person. But he looks to have a frame and build that can add weight, its just a matter of doing so and it actually sticking on. Again maybe I am totally off, but he just seems broader than Sidbe, JBA, or even past guys like Baye, Chukwa, Chino.
He is the only one of the 3 that would actually be able to score with his back to the basket consistently which is why I like his upside. Its just about adding bulk, aggression on the boards, and not being a deer in headlights on the other end.

Haven’t seen him either but he seems like he has a bit of that frame like John Henson who came out of UNC. Like you say he has to stick with it but that video with him doesn’t give me a lot of hope.

Fingers crossed! I've heard a little bit of everhthing regarding this recruitment but I think we are in good shape! Would be a great pick up and people don't realize how good of a pick up it could be. He was as high as 43 or 47? On espn at one time before reclassifying to 2021 and playing on a SUPERSTAR team that did him no favors for rankings. If he would of have this summer for AAU play and stayed in 2021 class he would of been one of the top center prospects for sure. Not saying we have a superstar if we land him or that he doesnt need to develop because he definitely does....but hes far better then some think. Hes a actual athlete with his size and huge wingspan. Lots to like here...let's hope his decision comes soon!

Not sure this kid knows wtf hes talking about because his bit news was sharing Pat's interview he did earlier in the week. With that said, I'd expect an announcement pretty soon.

I don’t think it’s going to be Syracuse, which will suck because we could really use him. I’m so tired of whiffing on every good big man we recruit lately. I would love to be shocked. Cmon Frank!

Well it's not sdsu I'm pretty sure of that. I think it's a cuse/wku and someone else trying to get back involved is the rumor.

People need to listen to Dean's pod but you are correct on the final two teams. I'm still not predicting SU.

Was told by a good UK source today that UK has not reached back out to Frank's camp. Now they could be trying to keep it quiet but this guy knows his UK stuff...so idk? Wierd recruitment.

I just don’t have a good feeling about this one. Any kid interested in WKU has $ signs in his eyes.

No worries we have Jesse. There is a Frank thread on the other board where the number of cats talking up his potential is unreal, lol. We good.
