Recruiting - 2016

[Phoenix]

Reported commitment from AJ Hicks..6'1" JUCO PG.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Reported commitment from 6'5" JUCO SG Costa Anderson.

 

Edit: Anderson is a JUCO All-American.

Edit 2: Also seeing he's 6'2".

Im seeing he's in the same class as Jamir Andrews....isn't Jamir a SR next year? So only one year of eligibility from a JUCO? That can't be right

Hicks 3, the other guy 2

Looks like Verbal Commits might be updating the class of new players but not existing ones. Says Anderson is HS class of 2014..which would make him a junior going into next season. Also list Hicks as a junior..but says he's HS class of 2015..which would make him a sophomore going into next season.

Is that 2 for 2 on the visits?

[GreatDanes06]

Anderson is out of Atlanta...

 

Best I can find on him. Seems very aggressive with shots, but looks to feed to ball also. Not sure how much you can take from a 1 minute 30 second video from 3 years ago when he was in HS.

AJ Hicks is also from just outside of Atlanta. Here is best I can find. This kid looks like he has some nice ball control skills. Wow:

 

[Eli]

So that's one PG and one SG? Or two PG's?

[slickwilly]

Team site lists Anderson as a combo guard.

One point and shooter/combo

Desperately need some depth at the 4/5.

Needed much more help on the perimeter...Down low we have Stire, Rowley, Charles and Dallas in an emergency. I hope for one more wing, a man, someone 6'5 who can defend and at least one more 6'9 type. Between Nichols and Hicks we are set at point, even Cremo runs some point.

As good as it is knowing Charles is back, I don't know how much we can bank on him with his heart condition. I hope he's 100% and able to contribute valuable min every night.

 

Stire and Rowley fouled a ton last year so we can only hope they can work on that.

Nate Johnson committed to Gardner Webb per his twitter. That sucks, kid looked like he had some skills to do well in the AE.

[justdrastik1]

It's just hard for me to count on Charles knowing he has a medical issue (which god willing, for his sake, isn't a recurring theme), and we haven't seen a ton of him. Plus, as 08 said, we can get foul happy. Really would like another big man and/or tweener that can fill the role, but I'm sure Coach knows what he's doing, and doubt he's bringing in more guards with the avail slots
