The class could crack the Top-25 and this team could crack the Pre-Season Top-25 if Bullock returns which from his tone and language seems to be the case.....from my read anyway.
Good stuff.

Is Bullock thinking he could leave early and get decent money playing in a 2nd tier league in Greece or Turkey or something?The class could crack the Top-25 and this team could crack the Pre-Season Top-25 if Bullock returns which from his tone and language seems to be the case.....from my read anyway.

In his statement he talked about learning what NBA people feel he needs to work on and about being excited about the Friars team next year. He didn't come across as a player ready to leave. That was the feeling I got from it but of course I could be way off and he used this language purposely.Is Bullock thinking he could leave early and get decent money playing in a 2nd tier league in Greece or Turkey or something?
Gotcha. That's what I assumed he was doing when he declared without hiring an agent. It's the smart thing to do.In his statement he talked about learning what NBA people feel he needs to work on and about being excited about the Friars team next year.

In this day and age of recruiting I can't imagine that redshirting a Top-20 positional player is even on the table. How does Cooley sell that one to the player and his family, "Come to Providence, you'll get to play at the outdated Dunk, and oh by the way you'll have to way until the 2018-19 season to do so. How does that sound?"Purely a hunch, based on having read anecdotes that his game is a bit raw, that he has a very slight build, and that he likely comes in behind Holt, Young and potentially Watson on the depth chart at center. Should Bullock opt to go pro (conceivable that he plays overseas regardless of NBA evals) or if there's an unexpected transfer, then that obviously changes the equation, as Holt would presumably play more PF, opening up minutes at C.
Sorry, HRB - I missed your reply about Dickens. Again, I have zero inside info on the matter, but look no further than Justin Patton as an example of a Top-20 positional recruit (#18 C in the 2015 class per ESPN) redshirting, with a very favorable developmental outcome. Some insightful commentary on Dickens beginning at the ~10min mark of the latest PCBB1917.com podcast:In this day and age of recruiting I can't imagine that redshirting a Top-20 positional player is even on the table.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Young transferred.....I actually kinda expect it.
