The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are set to battle for a third straight season in the NBA Finals. We asked recruits from all across the country to see how they felt about the mega-matchup.
IN RB Markese Stepp: "Cavs simply because they have the greatest player ever on the team."
IL WR Micah Jones: "Cavs all the way! You just can’t stop LeBron and Kyrie."
OR WR Braden Lenzy: "Cavs. Being soft doesn’t work against the Cavs. The Warriors are fake tough."
TN OL Cole Mabry: "Cavs. LeBron."
NJ DE Justin Ademilola: "Cavs."
PA LB Bo Bauer: "Cavs. They are better."
RB Lyn-J Dixon: "Warriors."
FL WR Kevin Austin Jr.: "Cavs because of their talent on the team."
TX WR Tommy Bush: "Warriors. KD is hungry and I just don’t think Cleveland will have an answer for KD, Klay, and Steph!"
WR Chase Cota: "Cavs. They have the best player on the floor!"
FL WR Anthony Schwartz: "Cavs because of LeBron."
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown: "I got the Warriors in 5. They are too good defensively and I think they have too many shooters/weapons on offense."
TX TE Mustapha Muhammad: "Cavs. LeBron is the G.O.A.T."
GA TE Tommy Tremble: "I got the Cavs because when you have Kyrie and the G.O.A.T, it’s hard to beat."
MD DT Thomas Booker: "Cavs! LeBron James is chasing his legacy now. Plus, the entire team is healthy and looking to upset the Warriors."
OH DE Tyreke Smith: "Cavs! LeBron is the G.O.A.T. and he’s going to do what he needs to do to win!"
MD DT Ja’mion Franklin: "Cavs. I’m a LeBron fan. He’s the G.O.A.T. and elevates everyone’s level of play around him."
KY DT Jacob Lacey: "Cavs for sure! I’ve been to their games a lot and there is something about Cleveland that feels like the Cavs are against the world. It’s awesome, so definitely the Cavs. KD went to the Warriors and I lost respect for the man!"
TX LB Nana Osafo-Mensah: "It’s gotta be the Cavs. LeBron is a dog and nobody is going to be able to stop him now."
FL DB Houston Griffith: "Cavs. You can’t go wrong with LeBron when he’s killing it."
DB D'Angelo Mckenzie: "Cavs. Warriors have an All-Star team and the Cavs are like the underdogs."
AL CB Starling Thomas: "I’m going to go with the Cavs."
FL CB Joe Wilkins Jr.: "Cavs because of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving."
TN S Jashon Watkins: "Cavs. Nobody can guard King James."
