2021 Paolo Banchero

[zagsfanforlife]

I would not be surprised in the least to see Banchero move up to the 2020 recruiting class. In fact I would say its 50/50 right now that he jumps early.

Youre saying you think he reclassifies?

I would suspect if Kispert and Flip leave for the NBA then it’s likely he reclassified. Just my opinion of course.

He reclassifies and is a lock to GU?

Kispert isnt going anywhere, so...?

For what its worth, ive read quotes from paolo saying that he had no intention on reclassifying. That could have changed of course

[zagfan08]

Paolo has been adamant he is staying in 2021. Stranger things have happened but he has shot that down without hesitation every time. Certainly seems like he’s ready for the next level though.

[Malastein]

I think previous posts from Caldwell kind of dismiss the chances of him reclassifying, but things change...

All I can say is Suggs

Two questions.

Are you saying Paolo wants to play with Suggs? I think you are.

Also, How does a player, or anyone simply reclassify a year early? I know it’s happening all the time but I don’t know how.

Just remember all the way back when Suggs committed on national TV to us. To reclassify you just had to graduate early.

I remember him mentioning Dom, Julian, and Paolo together...

Ahhh just daydreaming here in my social distancing

Suggs/Ayayi/Harris
Ayayi/Suggs/Harris
Kispert/Watson/Arlauskas/Strawther
Banchero/Watson/Timme
Timme/Ballo/Zacharov

Does that team lose?

Just rewatched it. He mentions the tricky trio and also said he’d like to get Chet and Paolo in 2021. So there is a relationship there. Maybe the timeline has moved up?

Fixed it by adding Chet too, haha. But seriously, this is absolutely ridiculous. Obviously we won’t have every single one of the players listed above, but I can’t stop from smiling just looking at the type of rotations we are looking at having the next year or two or forever.

Strawther will be way in front of Arlauskus. But I like it!

Thats a natty or two over the next 3 years!

Time for some dictator like quarantine to ensure next season

How does one suddenly graduate high school a year early without much warning, and during a time where schools are all doing online classes?

It's pretty easy to graduate high school any more, most these kids can graduate by their junior year. Then it's a SAT/ACT thing to make sure they score high enough. With online schooling two or three classes in the spring/summer and bam your done.

[caldwellzag]

FWIW with Burner cutting down to his final three and us not being in there, I think that speaks volumes to where we are with our bigs for next year

If you had to venture a guess does it speak more to FP returning or PB coming in early?

Caldwell dropping little golden nuggets on this weirdly lazy Tuesday...I like it!

[HenneZag]

Damnit Caldwell! I'm like a kid waking up early on Christmas morning.

How do you know we we wont have all the players listed on next year's team. Not probable but not impossible. That would also be a good time to red-shirt Zacharov and Arlauskas. That would be a 10 man rotation, or 2 excellent teams. How many teams could beat 1 Zag team, much less 2 on the same nite ? That 10 man rotation led Kentucky to 38 straight wins in 2015 until they ran into Higgins, the same guy that kept Rui and company out of the final 4 in 2019.

[TheOtherGreatOne]

I want Banchero and Chet next year, and Bittle the next. How good is this Silva kid ?
