Hey, when we shadily give jobs to parents it's at least positions with the basketball program And Selden's mom just moved to Lawrence last summer, it wasn't like it was done to get him to come to KU
With only one scholarship in the class, we're being extra judicious with offers, so I was surprised to see one go out to him. I think he's the lowest rated guy we've offered. His tape looks great though and apparently he showed out last weekend.
Huge fan of his game. Extremely productive and was the DMV POY as a junior. Kid is a high major. His games this past weekend were just the norm for him. Hoyas really need to land him. He is priority #1, even more so than Jaren Jackson Jr.
Congrats to our Husky posters. (Do we have Washington posters?) Eric Bossi @ebosshoops Missouri women’s assistant Michael Porter Sr. tells me that he has accepted a position as an assistant coach at Washington w/Lorenzo Romar.
Romar is his godfather or something like that too, right? think its pretty much a done deal at this point
Correct. His little brother is has been committed there for a while too. Porter is the best basketball player out of Missouri since Larry Hughes imo.
you like him better than Tatum? I haven't seen Porter play in person yet or watched much film on him other than a few highlight reels, but have seen Tatum multiple times in person. Really sucks that y'all have so much elite talent coming out of the state and your program is where it is. I know that feel losing a talent like Monk, but thankfully we've got Justice Hill locked up who I think projects to be equally as talented
I do. And I think Tatum is really really good. I think Porter is more physical/has a great killer instinct. Also I think there's a good chance Trae Young goes there with him. Lots of talk about them being a packaged deal
http://widgets.boxxspring.com/MzAsMzU0NTcwOTA Wendell Carter seems pretty damn serious about Harvard. Seems like theyre the only threat to Duke.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN THIS THREAD GUYS We got this terrorist guy who would be top 25 ish in the 2016 class if he was in the states. Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN Turkish forward Omer Yurtseven told ESPN he has committed to NC State. Could be huge for Mark Gottfried & Co.
Is this a Truman is a terrorist joke or Mizzou was recruiting him joke? Could go either way here. Can't help be laugh at all the retards on our home board that actually thought Mizzou would land this guy. Also - he scored 91 pts in his last game.
Kyle Neddenriep @KyleNeddenriep 16s16 seconds ago Eron Gordon has officially announced for Seton Hall.
Jaren Jackson Jr making s strong push to be a top 15 talent in 17. Too bad his pops still holds a grudge. Fucking Maryland leads for his services.
Can someone with insider post this article? Curious because one of our signees was the cover picture http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruiting/on-the-trail/insider/post?id=15662
These recruits could play better than their rankings 10:22 PM ET Every college basketball season, there's a group of freshmen who outplay their rankings and make a bigger immediate impact than many expect based on where they finished in the ESPN 100. The reality is that the ESPN 100 isn't meant to be a barometer of who will have the most immediate college impact, but instead a combination of factors, the greatest of which is a prospect's long-term potential to play at the highest levels. We already know some highly ranked prospects are less college ready than others further down the ESPN 100. We also know that opportunity, both in terms of minutes and role, plays a big part in who is perceived to be the best college freshmen in the country next season. With that in mind, here are a handful of guys who are expected to make an immediate splash at the college level: Mustapha Heron, Redneck Tigers, 25th in ESPN 100: There aren't likely to be 24 better college freshman next season than this five-star prospect. Why? He's expected to start, play heavy minutes and be a main tenant of the offense right away. He already has a college-ready body, so his physical transition will be easier than most. Most freshmen lose minutes because they can't keep up defensively, but that won't be an issue for Heron. Tyus Battle, Syracuse Orange, 35th in the ESPN 100: With Michael Gbinije, Trevor Cooney, Kaleb Joseph and now Malachi Richardson all gone, Syracuse finds itself with very few remaining options in the backcourt. Battle, who is naturally more of a versatile wing, will not only probably start and play major minutes but also get to handle some of the ball-handling responsibilities. Combine that with the size to flourish in Syracuse's zone and a chip on his shoulder after once being a top-10 prospect in the class, and you can all but guarantee Battle will be a major storyline in next year's freshman class. Kameron McGusty, Oklahoma Sooners, 46th in ESPN 100: Buddy Hield is gone and so too is his backcourt mate Isaiah Cousins, not to mention Ryan Spangler. Now that Austin Grandstaff, who was expected to be eligible at midyear following his transfer from Ohio State, is expected to leave the program as well it only puts that much more onus on McGusty to provide immediate contributions in the backcourt next to Jordan Woodard. McGusty has the size and playmaking ability that Oklahoma covets in its guards and will be relied on to give the Sooners a burst of offense. De'Riante Jenkins, VCU Rams, 59th in ESPN 100: He was the signature recruit of Will Wade's first full recruiting class at VCU and is coming off a huge season in the prep ranks at Hargrave Military Academy. Now, he'll join a Rams squad that is annually among the Atlantic 10's flagship programs and will be fighting to return to the NCAA tournament despite the losses of scorers Melvin Johnson and Korey Billbury. Jenkins will be given every opportunity to help fill the void of those minutes and scoring punch. Mark Vital, Baylor Bears, 70th in ESPN 100: He fits the prototype as an early impact, low-upside type of player. He's powerful and versatile enough to step right in and play immediate minutes, and there will be plenty of minutes to be had from day one. At the college level, he will be able to play multiple positions and that versatility will only add to his other attributes. Long-term though, he will need to reinvent himself a little bit and become more of a true wing to have a chance for the highest levels. Here are a few names from outside the ESPN 100 that college basketball fans might not know yet but most likely will a year from now: Maliek White, Providence: The incoming point guard will have the unenviable task of joining returning starter Kyron Cartwright to replace Kris Dunn. Micah Potter, Ohio State: The Buckeyes had lots of unexpected losses up front. Potter might not be an explosive athlete, but he has the skill set, IQ for the game and experience to play heavy minutes. Cheickna Dembele, UNLV: Marvin Menzies has a massive rebuild on his hands, but he already got one good piece in Dembele, one of the top big men that most people have never heard of.
BREAKING: Five-Star 2017 big man Mitchell Robinson told @CBSSports that he has committed to Western Kentucky. Huge get for Rick Stansbury.
Consensus top 15 recruit across the board opting to play in Bowling Green, KY...I've now seen it all, nothing surprises me anymore. Wow.
It should also be noted that Stansbury hired Robinson's godfather, former UNC guard Shammond Williams, as an assistant coach
Jeff Goodman: 5-star wing Terrance Ferguson is no longer going to Arizona. Not a major surprise. Looks like he'll attempt the Emmanuel Mudiay route. Prime prep victim
