Currently ranked 6th of the incoming SEC recruiting classes by 24 7 for what its worth. Not very impressive given the year that we just had and the returning talent that we have.

The clock is ticking! tick-tock, tick-tock....

In this day of random transfers no one ever knows what the starting lineup is going to look like. Look at the guys A&M has lost to transfer for what I consider really dumb reasons. It's a strong core group coming back except for point guard which unfortunately is a position where freshmen struggle.. Looking for much better things from Trocha and Hogg nest year and I think Kobie is a sleeper.

Because of the number of players we have recruited. Look at the average composite ranking and we are up there. We just haven't brought in as many bodies as other teams.

Unless the film I saw was a bad data point Vila will be of no help next yr

At best he's a three point specialist who is a defensive liability. At worst he doesn't play at all

He's not going to be as good as a junior Peyton Allen would've been.

Come on man

Seriously though here is what I think of villa. He made his senior debut for Barcelona as a 16 year old. That is on of the best non nba teams on the planet and most of their guys are highly paid professionals. The gasol brothers came through the Barcelona system (although Marc also played high school ball in Memphis) as did Ricky Rubio. Villa has been in the Barcelona system since he was 12 and was the youngest Barcelona prospect to ever make a senior team debut. At that point he was also playing with the Spain u 18 team as a 16 year old so that is big time

Last year as best I can tell he had a disappointing season based both on the limited stats we have and the fact that he apparently didn't get another call up to the Barcelona senior team. Also his star must have faded a bit for us to even be having the conversation. Barcelona has trained him since he was 12 and although they apparently did offer him a professional contract, it must not be too big if he is willing to walk away from Barcelona and play college Basketball.

So I have no idea how good he is. But I am sure he is better than Peyton Allen. Worst case he is the same player but 6 inches taller.

Awesome. Hope we can manage a 8 deep rotation without any injuries including two freshmen and one returning player who rarely scores. And with only one Sr. and one Jr. Tell me you are really pleased with how this recruiting cycle is going.

You feeling better now steeple? Apparently the Kentucky win and Kennedy's own personal efforts on the recruiting trail pulled in a 4-star today, per the quotes in the article below:

Can we talk about how weird a name "Quality Education Academy" is?

Yeah, I play for "Totally Not A Basketball Factory High"
