new Andrew Harrison highlights

This is what I've seen in the 3 or 4 games I've seen. That said, Andrew is the more important player.

2013 Rankings

Wow, Rysheed now higher than Britt. There's no doubt I'd love to have Rysheed, and hopefully if we miss out on the Harrisons (better sooner than later) we'll still have a shot at him. But at least until November, I'm not taking anyone who may force away the Harrisons. But if the twins want to drag it out til the spring, then I'm taking Rysheed (if we can) and telling the twins that they'll have to learn to play with other good guards. I mean, I can't imagine that Kentucky won't be getting another good guard or two, so it may not be the end.

But hopefully the Harrisons make up their mind somewhere in the August-November range so it isn't too much of a problem.

Beejay is #20 too. If we can land him and Rysheed....BOOM

Beejay's wingspan is crazy. He plays so much bigger than he is. I wish Turge and Co. had made him more of a priority. I do however like our recruits.

I don't know much about these guys but based on some of this video.....DO WANT Kris Jenkins. Looks like a phenomenal athlete, even if he is heavy and a tweener. He's quick and it looks like he has GREAT instincts and a pure stroke. If he drops a few pounds, he might be a better shooting Keith Booth. And I'm guessing he would be a 4-year player.

And Anya looks intriguing because those arms are ridiculous, but overall he looks kind of limited as an athlete. Again, I haven't seen much of these guys though.

Edit: This was recorded in February, so things may have changed. I'm sure there will be some more attrition next year.

Beat me too it. I added that note while you were posting. It's the latest I can find on him. He does say that Turgeon was still on him. Turgeon has shown that he will "make room" if needed.

Some guy at my gym told me he's a Carolina lock. No idea who the guy is. If Joe Black is in his mid-50s, with a bit of a gut, then maybe it's him. (FWIW, the guy also told me the same thing about Britt before he announced. Whatever.)

While it would be nice to keep those guys around (and I think by all means Faust will alomst definitely still be around), it's always good to send guys to the NBA. Faust exploding next season would also be huge for recruiting. Not to mention, that if both Len and Faust are good enough to go pro after next season, then we probably would have just had a very good year.

So to me, there's really only one priority. HARRISONS.

There's never a downside to having players good enough to be high NBA picks.

The only problem is players who go out of hallucinatory high expectations, bad academics or general program-harming disgruntlement.

So you take a "legit shot at being a McD AA" if it kills your chance with TWO top-5 guys who have essentially listed you as one of their two finalists? I don't.

And let's not pretend we have no chance to win the battle against Kentucky. You can recruit all you want, but it's ultimately the kid's (or in this case kids') decision. Not to mention, the Harrisons have ties to this area, a close relationship with our assistant coach that predates their recruitment, and maybe the biggest thing of all - our affiliation with Under Armor. People need to start realizing we have a VERY good shot at getting these kids.
