No way we dont land Dream's kid, right? Cincy's coach is getting fired after this season. Stanford and Vanderbilt are great schools but is he really trying to play school or is he trying to play basketball. I just dont see how we dont land him.. unless he hates his pops, i guess lol
Yeah, let's be honest...As much as I love Dream, Aziz isn't good enough to get many minutes here. Nothing against him, but indicative of where the Coogs sit now. We need prime grade A beef...or guys tailor made for KS.
2 guys from the '26 class who are interested in UH: Caleb Holt (#6 in class) The small forward position has the deepest, most potent group in the 2026 class, and Holt has the skill set to move to shooting guard. He also has the tools to challenge Stokes. A relentless and focused competitor, Holt dominates in transition, defends with intensity (2.5 steals per game) and rebounds at a high level (7.4 boards per game). In the half court, he creates off the dribble and makes smart reads. He can deftly penetrate the paint or find others. About the only quibble is his limited number of attempts from beyond the arc; that said, he takes smart shots, as evidenced by his 3-point shooting at both the Adidas Euro camp (5-for-13) and in the FIBA U19 World Cup (13-for-25). Holt has the determination, elite athleticism and talent to change the scoreboard and catch anyone in front of him. Recruitment status: Holt has taken visits to Arkansas, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Alabama, with Providence (Sept. 19-21) and Arizona (Oct. 3-5) up next. Holt also plans to visit Houston and possibly take visits to Kansas, Baylor and Miami. Arafan Diane (#21) The 7-1 Diane, meanwhile, has transformed from a big body still learning the game to a legitimate athlete and low-post threat with his back to the basket. He's also a strong rebounder and shot blocker. According to Synergy Sports, he scored on 62% of his one-on-one inside moves this past summer and shot 71% overall with dunks. His 71% free throw percentage is also encouraging. Diane, who now plays for Iowa United on the EYBL circuit, deserves a ton of credit for his development after moving from Guinea six years ago. The race for the top big man spot is open. Recruitment update: Diane visited Kentucky this past weekend and has a packed September and October: Arkansas (Sept. 19-21), Virginia (Sept. 26-28), Indiana (Oct. 17-19), Houston (Oct. 24-26). https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...ruiting-top-players-class-2026-every-position
Sounds great, Buck. Holt fits the tailor made + pedigree...and he's versatile. As to Diane...I LOVE that UH is finally in the mix for legit stud centers. It's been sooo long. Serious sign of the times.
