Isaiah Collier 2023 GA PG 6'3 offer

[coach]

Is Collier playing this summer? I saw a comment somewhere that he was rehabbing an injury. Maybe he's ok now?

[Lobot]

Collier will be on ESPNU at 5:00 next Friday 8/12 as part of a UA Elite 24 event.

Rayvon Griffith will be in that event as well. Trentyn Flowers will also be there.

I just don't have a good feeling about this.

Neither do I. The odds are always against. Every school that offered will miss, except one. It seems that now Kentucky is trying to get involved.

Weird situation with one and dones. You don't want them to be one and done but you root for them to be.

I'm for either one. But bring in a guy like Collier, and yes he's in the NBA the next year. But other guys notice that, and it makes us more interesting to other elite recruits, especially after landing Rayvon Griffith in the same class.

Anytime you land a college recruit with that type of talent and high ranking., makes other High Level Recruits take notice... I'd definitely take him for one year...

[longtimefan]

I hope hes not a one and done, I despise the concept, but everything I read indicates he probably is. Thats why I was more inclined to go for Green who I believe will play college for a couple years primarily because of his size. Its also why we are recruiting 2024 point guards hard as a contingency plan in case we get Collier.

I understand what they are saying. Nolley (as Lobot said) will be gone. Griffith is a 5 star and battle tested. The others appear to be solid additions but are untested at the higher levels of competition, both high school and AAU, Collier is a drive and dish guy and his success is predicated on somebody else finishing. We think and we hope we have such guys, and time will tell, but it could be a tough sell to a guy like Collier who may be more comfortable with other proven guys to share the offensive responsibility. Its really a matter of proven commodities vs hopeful commodities. If the hopefuls take a couple of years to develop and you are a one and done guy, what would you do to improve your NBA stock?

If he's only going to be around 1yr, he might consider Michigan or UCLA......

[BearKatz]

Pretty sure Nolley would be gone by the time Collier arrives

Yes sir, my mistake! I thought we had him for 2yrs.....

[RedDog]

Skillings, Reed, Griffith, & Nolley..... They're wrong......

This group doesn't think we have the talent to surround him and that will be a factor:
