While I know this could potentially put a Bryce commitment at risk, I’m all for this. I feel like he’d be a MUCH more vocal recruiter (esp. for Cade) than Davonte Davis is.
I was slightly hesitant about losing Davis initially (primarily w/ an AR connection to Jaylin Williams), but the emergence of JT Thor as a recruit bodes well. I feel like it’ll either be:
Rondel, Davis, Jaylin Williams as the core + inevitable transfer
OR
Rondel, Cade, Bryce, JT Thor + inevitable transfer
Pretty all or nothing at first glance, but I’d sell a kidney to guarantee 2 4 star guards + a 4 star big man every year.
It’s quite the opposite actually, Rondel and Bryce appear to have interest in playing together. I’ve always seen Rondel as the bridge between Bryce and Cade because he has played with both. If Rondel committing means Davis decommitting, then I think that’s a trade we have to take regardless of the Jaylin Williams ties.
Ah good catch, I missed that. (As if I needed anything else to make me follow this any closer)
Either way, I think the only way we get JT Thor is if we have a 5 star to pair alongside him (and would be accepted in place of Jaylin). Now I’m just curious as to where that 5th scholarship would go if we got Rondel, JT, Cade & Bryce to go with Davonte decommitting.
Maybe another flyer on a European kid? If Hidde works out of course
The timing there is…intriguing. I wonder if he and Boynton chatted about where his place would be in the program with potentially Walker/Bryce/CC coming in and they agreed that he deserved a place where he wouldn’t be an afterthought.
Yeah. There’s too much smoke around Walker and his connection to Bryce and CC (along with maybe Thor and Williams?) for it to be a coincidence. I wish the kid all the best though. He would have made a heck of a Cowboy, but a potential program-changing class is tough to pass up.
Yeah, I think it is hard to not see this as anything but good news. Might not mean anything in the recruitment of BT but this could be a strong sign the package of Miles, Walker and CC is in the works.
I could be way off but I don’t think the Davis news means much when it comes to Thompson either way. I think the Davis news is more about Miles, Walker and Cade all playing together. Don’t get me wrong, they would take Thompson but I don’t think they are planning on anything with him.
This news makes me think they are planning on Walker, Cade and Miles being Cowboys.
