He's unranked by Rivals. He's unranked by ESPN. He's 164 by 247. I'm not losing a single wink of sleeping over lost this guy.
" Also has craftiness in the midrange and finishes at the rim but not as a high rising finisher... Can guard the two through the four but is not known for his lateral quickness."
With all the guards we have, Hildreth can play some SF at 6'5.
We need the scholarship more much more than we need him.

Not sure on this one. Always give Forbes the benefit of the doubt, but not sure this guy is a great fit (aside from having the size to play the 4).

Aren't you on record as saying that rankings are pretty much meaningless this year?
Forbes wanted him, and that's enough for me to be at least a little disappointed.
Hard pass.
Poor man's Devin Thomas with crazy baggage.
I am not saying you do this often. However, your post is a perfect example of a problem that has permeated the boards for decades. Posts are made with many facets but reported as if there was only one thing said. I gave multiple reasons for not wanting him, but you took only one and left the other supporting reasons behind. That's just not right.
Forbes may see some of his own story in this guy's saga. Sounds like he finally has it all together. Some people just take longer. If he's a guy Forbes wants, bring him on.
Fair, but I was criticizing the portion of your post that I felt was in opposition to other things you've said.
I don't have a whole lot to say about the other reasons you mentioned... I haven't seen enough of Applewhite to argue that you're wrong about him not being quick or a finisher.
My broader point was that if Forbes was high enough on him to recruit him all the way until his decision to go elsewhere, that's good enough for me. I don't have to coach this team... I just critique from here in my basement.
Samford forward Christian Guess has entered the transfer portal, source told ESPN. Averaged 15.1 points and 9.0 rebounds in 10 games this season.
Doesn't shoot the 3, is a big guard or undersized wing. Probably not worth taking a look at.
Transfer portal definitely picking up some steam these last few days. I can only imagine what it'll look like in ~2 weeks.
Free for all.
It will be. One thing to note about the portal: it's going to be a game of musical chairs because the HS class of 2021 is coming in, but teams can only go over the 13 scholly limit to keep their own seniors. So, there are going to be fewer available ships than there are players. So, lots of guys in the portal are going to end up at schools below the level that they are anticipating.
