Am I crazy to think Marquise Kennedy could be a day one starter? He is dominating tough competition and I've seen one ranking that now has him as the top player in the state with legit "pro potential."

Something like:
Kennedy, Fr.
Kaifes, So.
Williamson, Jr.
Uguak, Jr.
Krutwig, Jr.

Bench order (assuming no transfers (unlikely)):
Hall, Jr.
Big Frank, So.
Bujdoso, So.
Negron, Jr.
Skona, Sr.
Welch, Fr.
Wojcik, Fr.


The cupboard is full!


Who do you think would transfer?

Don't want to speculate too much, but generally, as in years past, you will see the playing time of some guys decrease as the year goes on with younger guys getting more time. Those are the ones who are generally transfer risks. Decrease of playing time could be for quite a few different reasons--not fitting Porter's system, in Porter's dog house, younger guy is more talented, etc.

Welch and Wojcik were nominated for McDonald's All American. Kennedy was not.

There are 800 nominees.

No question in my mind, the highest transfer risk is with Negron. He is already playing behind Frank, and getting far fewer minutes than I am sure he figured. He didn't even get off the bench in the 2nd half against Valpo..... despite the huge lead. Not a good sign.

This is great for marketing. We got two top-800 recruits!

800 combined Boys and Girls nominations, right?

Good point Grad. I counted ~322 boy nominees.

The girls have a lot more nominees than the boys. This disparity raises a host of sociological and gender politics issues in my mind which I will refrain from discussing here in the interest of political correctness.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It'll only get worse with Welch next year.

This is really encouraging given that Kennedy may be our top recruit. All three of them have tremendous upside.
