in the Crystal Balls (I'll say - within 25% of the Ldr. or the Ldr.) - in order of current Rivals Ranking:
12. Troy Brown, SG / SF, 6'-6, 195 lb. (Centennial, Las Vegas, NV):
California 40%
Arizona 20%
Kansas 20%
Oregon 13%
37. Marcus Garrett, PG / SG / SF, 6'-5, 180 (Skyline, Dallas, TX)....long way down from 12. to 37.!!! And yes, not even within < 31% of the Ldrs. for Sexton, Preston, Tr. Young, Vanderbilt or Riley even...closest being Tr. Young where we're a pretty distant 3rd (OU just 5% behind UK)
Committed to Kansas
39. Chaundee Brown, SG / SF, 6'-5, 195 (The First Academy, Orlando, FL)
Kansas 67%
Florida 22%
Wake Forest 11%
91. Deng Gak, PF, 6'-11, 209 (Blairs Academy, Blairstown, NJ).....just given that length and that at this point he'd be lucky to be out of school in as quick as 3 yrs. would lead me to wanting him still, but man, what a drop from 39. ALL THE WAY DOWN to 91. 'til we find ANYBODY else w/ meaningful interest!!!
Kansas 78%
Duke 22%
That's it - four.
Here's others you've heard us at least on their final lists or current lists (Top 40 - notice only even appear in three of these guys predictions - at all!!!! - Tr. Young's distant 3rd, Vanderbilt a very distant 4th and Riley's VERY distant 2nd):
7. Sexton = 100% to Alabama
8. Preston = 92% to USC & 8% to Arizona
9. Knox = 100% to Duke
10. H. Diallo = 75% to Kentucky, 17% to UConn & 8% to Syracuse
11. Br. McCoy = 57% to California, 14% to San Diego State, 14% to Oregon & 14% to Michigan State (Mich. St.?!?!? WTF?! Never heard that!!!)
14. Tr. Young = 42% Kentucky, 37% Oklahoma, 11% Kansas, 5% ? & even 5% Duke (and Duke's not even on his freakin' list and they get almost half the respect KU does!!!!)
21. Vanderbilt = TCU 62%, Kentucky 19%, Texas 12%, Kansas 6%
23. Q. Green = Syracuse 56%, Duke 31%, Villanova 6%
28. Weatherspoon = Mississippi State 100% (this one's lazy on these predictors as that's where he just decommitted from!!!)
32. Ma. Coleman = Texas 76% & Duke 24%
34. Riley = UCLA 93% & Kansas 7%
36. Waters = Indiana 45% (like Bossi said), ? 27%, UConn 18% & Duke 9%
If this all came true this is what we'd have for the '17/'18 roster with 3 holes still to fill:
Graham / Garrett
Newman
Vick / Ch. Brown
Coleby / Lightfoot
Azubuike / Maxwell / Gak
I'd be satisfied at C....at least from the '17 Class. The ones we're playing up at Wing are a tad short to be Wings. Ultimately for the final 3 I'd want a PG (don't really care whether short-term awesome OAD OR long-term developing guy that may not contribute much in '17/'18), SF (6'-6 or taller) & PF (preferably one w/ some offense to his game who can pass).
