ah, he's a hometown kid, no wonder ol roy got him :heh:

I really think UNC has taken a big hit because of Calipari's recruiting prowess. They actually think they have a chance with Wiggins :heh: (I've been hearing lately that Wiggins has been a UK lock all along)

meeks is 300 pounds :whoa:

lol i dont see wiggins going to unc, roy isnt the type of coach to let a dude like wiggins play his game imo,, i wouldnt blame wiggins going to kentucky, you know cal keeps a short rotation so you will always get minutes and look good doing it.

meeks 300lbs and only 6'9 dude gonna eat himself out of bball

He's a 6'2'' Steve Novak. That's why.

He'll get drafted in round 2 just off the strength of his last name (even Taylor Griffin got drafted), but it's hard to project any type of success for him if all he can do is shoot 3's
I obviously haven't watched Duke much but he seems much more versatile than just a 3 point shooter. Makes good decisions. Reminded me of Doron Lamb, very smooth game and can actually drive the ball.

he can create his own shot though, hes a great year without even practicing most of it.

if he was smart he would have just stayed at liberty and ran the point or transferred to somewhere else where he could have been a pg insted of a small little sg shooting 3s in duke system.

dude reminds me of renardo sidney.

Next year is going to be really fun. I have no idea what wiggins is going to do, but I'm very confident in Randle coming. I think Wiggins is coming too if you put a gun to my head. Can you just imagine the publicity that recruiting class would get? I can see the sports illustrated cover right now. I think that is too alluring to pass up. Not to go to fukkin FSU :rudy:

Lamb has/had 2 advantages over Seth

1. He's 2 inches taller (yet still kinda undersized for a SG).

2. Seth Curry is older than Lamb.

And even with Lamb, he wound up going mid 2nd round (he was projected to go higher).

Yet Jimmer was a top 10 pick.

Jimmer didn't get drafted solely off of his shooting. Jimmer was an extraordinary scorer in college. His defined position was a weakness (and his defense), but Steph actually set a precedent that allowed teams to be a little more comfortable with the idea of taking Jimmer. Jimmer honestly could probably still succeed in the league, but he's in the worst spot to showcase himself in Sacramento.

Aaron Gordon really wanted to come here too. I really liked that kids game. But realizes he is essentially being recruited over.

I think a very underrated recruit is James Young. Smooth stroking lefty and an insane rebounder for a guard. We're finally going to have a squad of shooters :blessed:

Dakari reminds me of D Cuz.

This isn't a good look to get beat like this in front of Wiggins.
