I know many people don't share my passion for CU B-ball recruiting (as my Twitter "Likes" feed attests)! But I train people in my professional life to identify people's creative contributions (by intuitively "reading" creative energies from people's eyes in photos- this is Freaky Boulder!). So my favorite hobby is to see the depth of John Wooden's Pyramid of Success skills that Tad's recruits have, and how brilliantly they may fit together on B-ball team! Current top recruits:
-Point Guards: '22 Avery Brown!!, '23's Drew Steffe!!, Gehrig Normand! (Luv length/leadership), Malik Pressley! (Luv elite versititility) to play point or all 3 perimeter spots in Tad's system. Miro Little great fit too, but Indiana seems way out front with Finnish guard. CU needs at least 1, if not 2 of these guys.
-Point Forwards: Assane Diop! (pronounced Jop), Osiris Grady! (Luv elite D), Kadyn Betts! (Luv over-all wing/combo-forward game), AZ's Kevin Patton, Gavin Marrs. CU building relationship w/ Washington-based Marrs for years; CU offered another WA guy '24 Jacob Coffie (elite post game)- Luv their fit together!
-Toughness: Baye Fall (not convinced CU's in his top tier), Baye Ndongo! (may rise to top-50 national rank/CU in early w/ CO guy), Joshua Jones! (Evan Batty-like post game), Carey Booth (6'9 top CO 3-point shooter may want move home to Minnesota), CA's Andrew Meadow (Kurt Rambis-like energy guy).
-I Luv Rick Ray, Tad & company's chances to land elite, versatile, uptempo Texas BigWings: Cameron Barnes!, Zayden High!, Isaiah Manning! (+D), Jace Posey (+D), Gabe Warren. Texas too deep for state schools to fill; Drew, Gehrig, Malik & Josh Texans too! 2-3 key fits could take CU to Sweet-16 & beyond!
