NO gitmo, Hanson is a five. He's a five with a lot of potential and a high ceiling. Just stop.

Pretty sure the 3rd recruit will be a PG with Chatman and Brooks being seniors next season.

Agreed, preferably a high schooler, a transfer from another D1 program or a JUCO with 3 years of eligibility remaining.
If we go with anything else, I wouldn't be upset with a JUCO PF.

Greg McDermott brought in a solid two-man class, with each player having the potential to grow into impact players for the Blue Jays. Leon Gilmore is a classic jack-of-all-trades forward. He's a lefty with a motor who can score in multiple ways and defend multiple positions. Ronnie Harrell is an upside guy who is highly skilled with good size on the wing, and so could ultimately blossom into a major offensive weapon with some added strength and experience.
FWIW, they ranked both of our guys as an 80
"80-84: High-major minus prospect (4 stars)
Player has the potential to significantly contribute to a high-major program over four years."
Looks like they paid more attention to us this year - unlike last year where they didn't even bother to do a grade for Hanson.

One of the limitations to ESPN is that they do some sort of overall evaluation and then appear to base the class on how high all of the rankings are in the class. They don't appear to do a lot of thinking about scheme and system and fit. Nor do they do a great job of midwest rankings in general. If you get kids from the hotbeds of the east or west, you know everything about them. If they are in the midwest or off the beaten path, not a lot.
Hanson is a clear example. We landed him pretty early, but he had some major offers across the country, but they were dependent upon who had evaluated and offered him. Fortunately we got our commitment early or I think we would have had much bigger competition.
As it was, he had a Gonzaga, Missouri, AZ State, and Nebraska offers, but ESPN didn't bother to watch some film and give him a grade???
Beyond that it looks like they gave Harris is grade before doing his scouting report (the two don't appear to match -- 67 grade and this comment in the scouting report "Harris is hands down one of the best shooters in his class. He's a player that's 6-foot-6 with great length and athleticism. He can create space for his shot off the dribble or knock them down in a catch-and-shoot....In our opinion, Darian is one of the bigger sleeper's in the class. He has all the tools to be great if he puts it together. A terrific get for Creighton"
Anyway, I'm happy with the last two classes as they appear to be the kind of classes that will keep us in the running talent-wise and able to run our scheme effectively.

Would love to know who the staff has seen in the last two days with it being finals week at CU. Hope they can land the one on the top of their list. Go Jays!

Luke Fischer just announced that he is transferring from Indiana. I know we made his final group of schools. I wonder if we'd take another look?
