Harris? Leslie? Jones? Which one would be the biggest priority? I know we are still on the board with all these guys, just wondering what everyone was thinking about landing one (or 2) of these guys

I think we have a great shot at landing CJ Leslie and Terrence Jones, but not so much with Tobias Harris. Obviously it's early and there's no real way of knowing, but rumors have been that Harris is a strong Syracuse lean, and also there are just so many good schools on his list. I have yet to hear anything about UK being a leader from the rest of the pack in his eyes.

As for Leslie and Jones, it's great that they both have visited recently and Leslie has visited with UK twice now since last week. I say that we get Leslie, have a very good shot at landing Jones, and a slim shot at landing Harris. If we get any 1 of these guys, I will be elated.

Looking at next year's PF/C situation, it all depends on whether Big Cuz stays or goes to the pros...

IF COUSINS STAYS:
PF- Cousins, (Recruit)
C- Orton, Harrellson

IF COUSINS LEAVES:
PF-(Recruit)
C- Orton, Harrellson

There is a HUGE difference between the two. With Cousins and Orton both down low, having a 5-star backup PF and Harrellson at backup C would make for a wonderful frontcourt. But if Cousins leaves, we really need to sign 2 guys, and 1 is a necessity. Landing Leslie and/or Terrence Jones would be a huge get for us :5x

I think Cousins goes to the NBA so this position is very important.

I think Leslie and/or Jones is a good possiblity.

I think, from what I have heard and read, that Harris will be at Syracuse.

Agree with the others. I think Harris attends Syracuse, but we still have a good shot at Jones and Leslie. My order of preference would be Harris, Jones and Leslie. Harris definitely first, then Jones and Leslie almsot neck and neck with Jones being a little higher of a priority due to his overall skill set and the diversity in his game compared to that of Leslie.....
