Rachal is listed at 6'6" 220 lbs and was receiving offers not only as a basketball recruit but from schools interested in him playing college football at Wide Receiver. Per the article below, he caught 59 passes for 1,139 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior, earning LSWA Class 5A all-state honors. He is an impressive looking athlete.

Brandon Rachal's strong freshman and sophomore basketball seasons caught the eye of several college coaches, and an impressive return to the football field this past fall has had coaches in that sport start following suit.

The multisport Natchitoches Central standout currently holds a slew of scholarship offers for his skills on the court, but may ultimately have even more options as recruiting interest in his ability as a wide receiver gains momentum.

"A lot of schools that have recruiting me for basketball are talking to me about coming there to play football and basketball now, because I had a pretty exceptional junior year for football," the 6-foot-5, 220-pound junior said. "So I'm starting to consider football, too, as an option, but I'm leaning more toward basketball."

Rachal sat out spring football at the tail end of his sophomore year to focus on basketball, where he has accumulated offers from LSU, Tulane, Louisiana Tech, Miami, Connecticut, Cal, Wake Forest, Kansas State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Massachusetts, Boston College, Creighton, UTEP, Northwestern State and UNO.

He returned to the field for the Chiefs late in the summer, though, and used his impressive athleticism and instincts to overcome some initial rustiness before beginning to click on all cylinders by midseason.

the Longhorns are the Crystal Ball leaders for Rachal as they had a lot of momentum for him over the summer however he was supposed to take his visit to Austin next weekend. It looks like that visit isn't happening now before his decision. It could be that Jase Febres took that spot for the Longhorns since Rachal pushed up his decision to before his scheduled Texas visit right after Febres committed to them. I'm guessing it's an LSU vs A&M battle at this point for Rachal since those are his only 2 official visits.

So next year..

PG: **** Caldwell, ****Starks
SG: ****Gilder, ****Eubanks, Smith, ****Chandler
SF: ****Hogg, ***Vila, ****Flagg
PF: ****Trocha-Morelos, ****Williams
C: ****Davis, ***Jasey

Are we expecting someone to jump pro after this year, someone to not qualify?

Regardless, that looks like a top 10-15 team no doubt.

I think Logan said he's not graduating this year and thinks it's more likely than not that he returns.

Trocha wasn't a four star. Most we've ever had at a time was last season when we had eight of them prior to the transfer of Robinson and Thomas.

TTM was a 4 star(#87) in the 247 rankings and was also a 4 star on Rivals
Jasey is a 4* in the ESPN rankings.

not composite 4 stars though because 1 service didn't rank TTM at all so his composite score fell due to a 0 star ranking.

Vila just wasn't ranked at all by most services since he played in Spain.

See examples above. Also bball is different than football in that you have a lot less eyes on the players and a lot less input. How Myck Kabongo ends up a top ten player for most of the time he's ranked.

2019 PF Charles Bassey:

Quote:

Potential No. 1 prospect in the 2019 class Charles Bassey tells Andrew Slater of 247Sports that Kansas, Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Western Kentucky and Creighton have offered.

At 6-10, 220-pounds and out of San Antonio (Texas) St Anthony Catholic, Bassey has the complete package as a skilled power forward.

http://tennessee.247sports.com/Bolt/Kansas-Oklahoma-Tennessee-more-offer-elite-Charles-Bassey-45640210


Bassey is a 5 star and likely #1 recruit in the nation in 2019. Still lots of time left in his recruitment but a couple of months ago he mentioned Texas A&M as his favorite college team to watch.

Bassey ruled ineligible

Quote:

Charles Bassey, the 6-foot-10 phenom who led St. Anthony to the cusp of a boys basketball state championship last year, will no longer compete for the Yellow Jackets.

Bryan Bunselmeyer, executive director for the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, said Thursday that Bassey and other St. Anthony players were ruled ineligible to compete earlier this fall. Bunselmeyer said Bassey, a sophomore, will not be allowed to play for the Yellow Jackets or any other TAPPS member school for the rest of his high school career.

Bunselmeyer said he could not provide a reason for Bassey's ineligibility, saying only that it did not relate to age or academics, and did not address the other players by name. Bassey is a native of Nigeria who started attending St. Anthony last year.

Still plenty of time before he steps on campus. I'm sure he will find somewhere he can be eligible.

Flagg's fierce inside-outside game is impressive.

Yeah, major PT if he can learn the defensive scheme.


IF we had RW and Flagg together (oh, to dream) we become "alarmingly athletic."
