2020 Recruiting: Cliff Omoruyi update

[Road2Six]

By that last line, sounds like we just need to truly prove to him how much we need and want him here and we have a shot.

Don't think that should be difficult. We don't have anybody else in the pipeline.

Kentucky has a huge weekend of visitors, all their top targets and priorities. Cliff isn’t there, any chance he sees the writing on the wall that he’s an afterthought to them?

hopefully

I was at a urinal recently and someone wrote "getting big" before October 15th on the wall? Think that means anything.

You should consider a different restroom?

The way the visits have been rescheduled, #2 will
be later than 10/15 but not much later

Unfortunately, for a small group of schools kids will never see it that way

In recruiting there’s lots of snakes in the grass and also the L$U types. It’s always a battle.

I was given some bittersweet info on Cliff. I was told at the moment we lead, even “greatly lead.” However, the staff is going all out to get Javonte Brown Ferguson and that could potentially mean the end of Cliff’s interest in us. While we lead, it’s the Kentucky offer he’s holding out hope for. We will see. If I had to option to take Javonte Brown Ferguson now or hold and wait for Cliff, I’ll take Javonte Brown Ferguson. A big man is the biggest need for 2020...

Makes sense. Bird in hand is worth two in the bush and all that. Can't get Diallo'ed again.

 

[Dabutlerdidit]

Someone’s gonna get caught holding the bag, and it won’t be us

 

[QuickDraw]

we can still get him in the spring, stranger things have happened

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Agreed. If he's holding out for Kentucky best of luck to him, and move on and lock down Javonte Brown Ferguson.

 

[Wordbomar]

Get Javonte Brown Ferguson then go get him in the spring.

This is how someone who actually has connections to the team shares information...

 

[krinklecut]

Don't see the issue with Javonte Brown Ferguson v Cliff. Javonte Brown Ferguson will be on the bench behind him, and when Cliff leaves after a year Javonte Brown Ferguson can take over.

I saw Tom Moore at the mall couple days ago. Cuse socks would like to nominate cuse socks as a new BY insider

I'd have sat on it until after the weekend.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

I’d vote roll the dice for Cliff personally. Especially if we’re in serious contention. Love his game and upside. I say go for it! But that’s why I’m here and not coaching.

 

[Huskyforlife]

If he's right, you take the chance on Cliff. If Kentucky wanted him, they would've offered by now.

 

[Cuse Socks]

hasn't he already received an offer from UK? even if it isn't official, if EJ montgomery or nick Richards leave after this year they'll 100% go hard for him. If they both stay he'd be foolish to go to UK

 

[lange10]

Can those advocating for signing Javonte Brown Ferguson and continue to push for Cliff explain how this would work with our roster construction? If a 3rd scholarship opens up it means Gilbert is gone.

Using 2 scholarships on bigs leaves us with a backcourt of Cole, Gaffney, Bouk, BAdams for next season. We need depth there if Gilbert leaves, IMO.

EDIT: could include Jackson in backcourt as well but still think another lead guard that can score is very important for us.

Their offer means nothing at this point.
