Basically Boswell is it from high school ranks this recruiting year?If McCarty is signing with us, our staff is currently unaware of that. I’ve heard our highest priority is a developed shooting two from the portal, and there are specific players who’ve reached out. I’m not ruling out McCarty (or Pharaoh) coming, but it’s still behind a curtain as far as staff is concerned. Boswell was done a week before he committed. No such clarity here.
So, perhaps Basilio was on to something when he suggested that Boswell was the only HS commitment we would be taking in the fall signing period?If McCarty is signing with us, our staff is currently unaware of that.

I didn’t know he said that, but the premise isn’t outrageous. I do think it’s possible that McCarty is a true last minute decision, but that isn’t the normal MO for our commitments. I’ve heard Barnes’ take is that the addition of Knecht has liberated the offense in a way that makes him want to repeat that. They want experienced shooters to pair with the developing point and post talent we have. Not a good answer to your question about Basilio, but more color.So, perhaps Basilio was on to something when he suggested that Boswell was the only HS commitment we would be taking in the fall signing period?
I was kind of thinking something similar to this earlier.I didn’t know he said that, but the premise isn’t outrageous.

Gotcha. I thought it was literal, I’m like Barnes continues to churn out Top 10 rosters, 6 months ago folks were acting like the world was ending, now they’re saying this is a Final Four roster….he has proven he deserves patience and trust and to see the final product imo.He’s saying “Houston, we have a problem.”

They’d certainly be the deepest teamI hate Kentucky, so much. But, you can right now, make a team of Wildcats, in the NBA, that would be the hands down favorite to win The Finals, imo
