Who do you have as the most ready to play out the gate?
Who might surprise?
Overall thoughts on the class and what gaps they can fill?

I think Brown because he can rebound and bang a little right away. Has good size. Won’t give us anything on offense. Maybe Bunch too but he seems to not be engaged often and likes to camp out and shoot threes. Think a poor man’s Malachi.
Not that high on this class and, frankly, a huge 5-man class to be ranked outside the top 25 now given how heavily they weigh size of the class isn’t all that good.

I tried watching some of the highlight films. I need to watch a bit more to get a feel.
I can't say I was blown away by any so far. You never know though as "fundamentals" aren't usually easy to see in highlight clips. SOmetimes that makes a big difference in being able to contribute right away.
Bunch looked intriguing, but in a developmental way, which likely means he will transfer after year 1. So who cares........

I’m inclined to say Maliq Brown for the same reasons as Sobe… his size, strength and ability to bang down low.
Next most likely to play IMO is JT.
Cope needs more time, IMO, and sits behind JG3 and Symir.
Bunch might have the most potential but I also think he’s a bit more raw, and may need a season to get stronger and learn the system.
Carey has potential too, but I suspect he will need a couple of years to produce, like most Bigs.
We need to score another guard and another strong big man in the portal. Mintz ain’t looking very promising.

I like Carey‘s potential too. But, we have more JB spin and trying to defend the decline again. Much like how he just said this was his best season yet…he said this is his best recruiting class ever lol. Please.

I'm in agreement as well. The most likely trait from any of the 5 to immediately translate and help is Brown's rebounding.

Seems like Carey is a long ways away. He’s out all season (again?) due to a lower body injury I think I heard? He already is plays in a lower level tier and now will have to get back into basketball shape which will take quite some time.
Why the hell is JB saying this is his best class ever? Is he just spinning because he hears the noise? Trying to defend the not so good recruiting efforts by lying? Does he actually believe it? I don’t know. If he actually believes it and has been good with the roster construction and prospects of the team then we have even bigger problems with his state of mind. I mean, he talked up this year’s team to ALL sorts of media people. I heard him on Packer/Sirius too say that the team will be better, that they have enough ballhandlers, and that Cole/Jimmy have a ton of experience. It’s just crazy, ugh.

The class is ranked as high as it is because of volume. That said I see potential with this class, but I’m not sure they’re ready year one? Jimmy isn’t returning so I don’t know where that comment came from. Who knows with Cole.
