We have no idea at this point who Archie is interested in but it would at least be fun. Preston is a legit 3 star guy but Wheeler is not ranked on any site I can see.

Tyson Wheeler Jr. is 5'7", and plays Division III in Connecticut. All-State at that level, but still. He's not among the Top 25 prospects in CT on the NERR site and hasn't been written up on there since a small blurb in 2019, suggesting he's not really a serious D1 prospect. Maybe he'll have a hell of a senior year and get recruited, but right now he doesn't seem like a D-I prospect.

We offered Preston Murphy Jr. in June 2019, so Archie would have to offer him again. We have a thread on him here, which hasn't had any posts in a year. While he was a 3-star at one point, it doesn't look like he picked up any additional offers this past year. He was transferring from St. Andrew's his senior year to some school in Nebraska because of the mask mandate, but from his Twitter, I can't tell if he ended back up at St. Andrew's or not.

Thanks Greenie-looked for prior thread and could not find it on Murphy.

Yes, Preston played at St. Andrews this year, scored over 1000 points in his career there and had his number retired.

Don't forget, Preston did commit to DePaul but reopened his recruitment last year.
