2022 Recruiting
- Thread starter TX4GB
- Start date
I would say so if there are 2. Jameel Brown said they were in his ear too. Trevion will have graduated. We might have a better shot with him over Iwuchukwu. He looked more like a post player from that video but that’s what I thought about Big Dog seeing him in the HS championship game. Brantley being from that area helps.
If he needs 5 for that class in order to take Jalen, there could’ve some attrition between now and the spring of 22.
Jalen is wearing number 13. Glen Robinson wore number 13.
My question would be where would he fit in with Kaufman and Furst? And possibly Heide?
Where will they fit numerically? Depends on the jersey number they pick I suppose. If Ivey (a guard) has #13, then there is room in the sequence on either side for Kaufman and Furst (front line players).
Furst a 4/5 and play PF primarily and help give Edey rest at the 5.
Kaufman as a 3 which was our selling point with Micah at the lead there. Could spell as a 4.
I see Jalen as a 4 and maybe a 5 with the 7’2” wingspan. Once his knee heals, maybe a 3 but would need to improve on quickness.
One or more could go pro early depending on their development.
I was being sarcastic, of course. I thought your question was a little weird since Ivey and Kaufman, Furst play relatively different positions. Hence I though your question might refer to their numerical order.

I think his question is a legitimate one. ( It never appears to me that he mentioned Ivey). We’re not really that used to signing top 40 players, and now we’re talking about stacking at the same position in back to back classes.
Isn't that what we want? Gradual increase in talent and skill across the board? If it's at the same position and the kids know that and want to be here, isn't that all the better?
Of course - survival of the fittest. It will take Painter to have a change in philosophy to give time to let young kids learn v giving vets “earned” time. I mean that is what the big dogs do right?
I’m really not even talking about the “vets”. I’m talking just about the 2021 and 2022 kids.
Get the talent and figure that out later.
I think my statement still applies - survival of the fittest or up and out.
We should want kids who believe in an up or out model. If you were the best in your 2020 class then take advantage of your year and make yourself better to secure your spot. If you can’t - we have someone better ready to eat.
That’s all well and good, but CMP will have to lay out a convincing case where Jalen gets on the court as a freshman.
I think he can at least in my mind. He is a 4/5 hybrid so you lay the case of Furst, him, Kaufman, Ivey and Morton. He can be promised a decent amount of minutes as you interchange he/Furst/Edey.
Just kicking the tires
With rotations, transfers, injuries/illness and other factors not worried about playing time for talent.
On Indiana: “The little guy there says he just hopes to still be around in 2022.”
3 things stand out:
MSU -ugh, sounds like they are in great position.
IU- Archie is installing a new system in 4th year? Is this because Washington is an inside/outside big and they wiffed on the TJD/Kaufman sell? They need a stretch 4/5 like Washington bad.
Purdue - Seem to be right there. Seems like selling academics early has made impression. He would be luxury, but would be another piece to some super flexible and talented future lineups.
FYI Kaufman is back. Went for like 23 and 11 last night from what I saw.
Nice! This article said he gave himself a ‘C’ for the game. He wants to work better with his teammates while rounding back into form. He is back in the Mr. Basketball race.
Jalen’s build looks like Marcus Bingham but Washington has better range. Bingham hasn’t done much in his third year at M$U.
Nice knowing we can flip a coin with our 2 recruits winning Mr. Basketball.
It seems he was highest on Stanford and MSU based on comments but that may not mean much or maybe it does. I remember reading Bruce Thornton discussing his finalists a couple days before commitment and Purdue seemed to be the one he said the best things about and the most things but ultimately picked Ohio State.
To me it sounded like Purdue was third.
I could definitely see him picking Purdue if academics was important but he wanted to be closer to home
I don't think we will win the Washington sweepstakes but I'd be perfectly fine getting Vince instead.
No. We want IMMEDIATE increase in talent. We will settle for gradual. 😂 😂
The way that Tre, Sasha, and Eric Hunter are playing, if they want to stay around for their bonus year, I hope they do. (I like Wheeler too, but I think that his position is about to get crowded with Furst and Kauffman joining the mix). I don’t think you can turn away a top rated center like Washington or Vince I., but if neither of them bite and Heide does, I am good with standing pat with three commitments until we see who stays and who decides to transfer in the next few seasons.
