Re: 2013 Recruiting Thread

And I never said anything about the twins and the comment about not liking randle or vice versa.

Until my last comment.

All my initial comment about was about Randle.

He's not going to have this kinda dominance like people think. Even in a weak SEC.

I'm sure there will be an adjustment for him, as there is for just about any player, but I am pretty confident he will have many dominating games. There isn't much Randle can't do plus he has size and athleticism.

This seems like a good time to rehash what Dakkon just posted:

Re: 2013 Recruiting Thread

Never said you made that comment.

Every big recruiting site and their experts have said nothing but bad attitudes about the twins and that they only look for each other on the floor.

It's obvious in their AAU games. Good luck to Cal though. It's gonna be tough.

Cal has proven he is fully capable of managing the egos of a talented young team. He's done it 3 out of 4 years, including the national title team of 2012. The best of example of this was Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the top 2 picks in the draft, took the 4th and 5th most shots on the team. Getting talented players to play together might be his greatest strength. Well, other than recruiting.

Everything I heard in the last week was Wiggins to Florida State but that was before Bullock declared.

Yes, Andrew Wiggins, arguably the most talented high school prospect since LeBron James, was waiting to see if a 2nd round NBA draft pick was going to declare just so he could be sure there would be enough PT for him at North Carolina.

You guys crack me up!

2 of their 3 leading scorers are wings and would have returned if Bullock didn't declare. It's not that hard to see that somebody could get less playing time then they wanted. Whether that is Bullock or Hairston or Wiggins isn't the point. Bullock may have declared because he could be worried about playing time if Wiggins comes back next year. These are all possible scenarios and you don't need to act like other people are stupid because they don't see it the same way you do.

First of all, I don't think your stupid. I just think it's silly to think he's worried about PT. And that would somehow impact his decision, i.e., he's worried about someone starting over him.

Secondly, no one's "heard" anything about Wiggins. So whoever said it's down to FSU and UNC is full of it. It's down to four schools and no one has a clue which way he's leaning. Everything at this point is pure speculation....which is why we're all speculating in this thread about which way he's leaning.

With that being said, even if it was down to FSU and UNC, Reggie Bullock's decision has no impact on Wiggins' decision whatsoever. Wiggins would start and play 30-35 minutes a game no matter where he lands. Bullock and Hairston would have to sacrifice, not Wiggins. It's why you don't hear UK fans saying "our chances are better because Archie Goodwin turned pro." Or, "Man, I wish Alex Poythress would have left....now I'm not so sure about Wiggins." It makes no difference who's at the wings because he's going to be the best player/start on whatever team he chooses.

One of my points about why Bullock declaring for the draft could be seen as a sign has to do with if Bullock thinks Wiggins is coming to UNC. If he does, he may be concerned about his playing time hence why he might decide to declare for the draft given fear that his stock could fall with reduced playing time and how this draft is seen as weak.

Now that makes 100% sense. Sorry if I took your comments out of context. With that being said, UK fans can say the same thing because Archie Goodwin turned pro.

All in all, this has been one of the most fascinating recruiting sagas of the last 10 years simply because no one really has an idea where he's going.

What's going with IU's class? I'm reading on Michigan sites that Crean is having trouble clearing space for all the players he signed.

Funny you read that on a "Michigan" site that probably have no idea what's really going on.

Abell is transferring. And that opens up the 13th spot for scholarships.

Abell was having academic issues. Sad to see him go but it is what it is.

Roster spots are not and is not going to be problem with Crean.

I would have to agree with this. Crean is good about over recruiting and finding a way for it to work
