How is the freshmen class?

I know from a nba potential wise it’s very weak but is it a good class in terms of future 3 or 4 year good players in college?

Shamari Ponds, Jontay Porter, Tyus Battle, Jessie Govan, Lindell Wigginton some of the big names I see on the returning list.

:blessed: Finally my hometown GOAT getting some love! If he stays healthy, gonna be the first NBA player from my small ass East Coast Canadian city of Halifax :salute:

This is not to glorify it AT ALL, but for our small ass city, we have way to much gun violence in our black community and if nothing else he's showing these local kids here they can actually make it somewhere if they stick to something :mjcry:

:mjcry: Add that with Shamorie returning and for the first time in years we’re going to be fighting for the top seed in the Big East.

:mjcry: It’s been so long.

Been watching Ponds since his freshman year at Jeff. Besides Markelle Fultz idk anyone that’s had a rise in their career like him in 2016. He went to the school where he’d knew he’d be given a chance. Mullin has been high on him from Day 1 too. The staff has gotten the best out of their players too these past years.

Auburn still will have a really nice core.
If it really is a health situation then understandable....St Johns isn't a terrible landing spot.

but UCONN is :huhldup:
Bro we're gonna be so fukking nice. If Harper gets a better mid range game and learns to play off ball as Purifoy and Wiley dominate in their paint, its fukking over. I loved Mustapha but losing him aint the worst shyt ever and we had a log jam at wing anyway. Keep your ear out for the name Samir Doughty. I heard dude was a clamp god.

Just hope those boys play like their potential will be and not timid (saving themselves for the next draft). It's not football, but players do that sometimes.......This is the one year we probably have for the next few years to get to a Final 4. The season after next will be a rebuild.

Purifoy is really just a big guard. Don’t think Pearl wants him back in the paint. I think Heron saw he was coming back and just decided to leave cause Purifoy was gonna get a bunch of minutes this year.

Saw him against Omari Spellman and he had 30 in one half on him. He’s a killer when healthy.
