So any recruit that isn't ready to play from day 1 is a project? I am not sure I agree with that definition.
Travis has already discussed the possibility of a RS with Tucker his freshman year, but I wouldn't put him in the Darius Miles category of a project. He is young, much like Derrick Brown, and some physical development would be helpful before he starts his eligibility. He is more of a late bloomer, who has come on strong lately but it's tough to say how much development he needs without the normal evaluation periods.Last edited by nuts4xu; 08-14-2020 at 02:37 PM.

For some reason many of the recruiting sites list Tucker as a Power Forward? I will be shocked if that ends up being an accurate description regardless of his physical development. What little video I've found shows him to be athletic and somewhat versatile offensively. Certainly willing to shoot the 3, although his form is a bit odd.
As far as Holt goes, no reason to think we don't have an edge in his recruitment just based on the Odom connection. Having won Championships together has got to be a factor in his decision process. I first thought he and Tucker had similar games but after a little research, Holt is really a Big Guard maybe closer to a Colby Jones.

Personally I’ll be very happy when X gets to the point where it’s upper classes are so well experienced and talented that we aren’t expecting the freshman to be immediate impact players. They might well be in that situation right now if they hadn’t had such poor classes back to back a few years ago.

Was he a "priority" recruit?
(asking for a friend)...he went up late, and I was already up there.
