'16 WA PG Sam Cunliffe

[wyobuff]

Again, it's early so there's not a lot of info on him, but he's being recruited by coach pri and has apparently already been on a visit. Not a lot of info, but he's transitioning from off guard to PG, and is 6'4 - so he fits the style of PG boyle prefers.

he is listed as 6'6" on quite a few sites. So not really sure what his official height is. It sounds like he is Gonzaga's to lose.

"Location doesn't matter to me. I'd go play for a school in Antartica if it's the best place," Cunliffe said. "The main things for me are looking at what is going to make me the best basketball player and prepare me for the NBA. The other big thing is lifestyle and where I am living. I went to Colorado, and the feel of the city and town, it just felt like home. Spokane felt the same way for me when I was there."

My choice, however, for the Most Outstanding Player tag for the camp is 6-6 Sam Cunliffe(Blanchet High in Seattle).And a whole lot of the players from in and around the Denver area who were watching him for the first time – Davis included – and were offering plenty of vocal props from the stands would probably agree with that assessment.
His skills as a handler, passer, scorer and – often – spectacular and high-flying athlete were clicking from Jump Street when he stepped onto the floor for “Utah” Sunday morning.

looks interesting but his competition in the highlights is so painfully small, slow and inept that it's hard to say anything. Considering that he also didn't play varsity his freshman & sophomore yrs, he will likely have a steep learning curve at a high major unless he really hits the AAU circuit hard.

With Brown & Satterwhite committed in this class ('16), I wonder how interested CU is at this point?

 

[Hoops Fan]

I would take this guy in a heartbeat! ... then get a big to fill out the class

Need Bigs

Boyle will lose Scott and XJ next year. Miller is a PF, there is no replacement for Scott & XJ. Boyle has a Freshman PG, his focus should be on replacing the bigs with quality bigs. The only way I see him taking another G is if he is aware that Collier is leaving for some reason, otherwise, focus on PF and C first, then a PG.

:wtf:

Where will Scott and XJ be going exactly?

Where will Scott and XJ be going exactly?

They're seniors for the 2015-16 season. So if we're talking about the 2016 recruiting class needs, we're talking about replacing some significant front court pieces.

Your right my bad I thought he was 2015 for a moment. When those 2 leave we will still have miller and Gordon

It's a guard oriented sport. Get PGs.

He must not have taken a recruiting trip there before he signed.
