He may have grade issues according to BP but then there were allegations that he will try to be here spring semester 08-09 according to Meek, then there was confusion on if that may actually be 09-10 spring semester and then everyone got confused and took naps.

I'm not sure what BP said, but Meek never implied Spring semeseter of the 09-10 year.  He originally said Spring 08, which obviously makes no sense because that semester just ended two weeks ago.  He changed it to Spring 09, which is second semester next season.

BP was likely hearing he had grade issues in reference to him being class 08.  Obviously this is true, as he is attending a prep.  You have to be in really bad shape to not being able to make it in three semesters after your class graduates. (Lat Will is in summer school)  Sutton really had to be screwing off to not get it done.

Not that I want to shun a local kid, especially if he is legit, but doesn't he seem a better fit for ku?

While we're on the local white kid topic, whats up with Jeff Reid, we not gonna have room for him after all in 09, or was he an 08 recruit.  I can't even remember.

they probably haven't updated recently (or are just off).  a soph. getting serious interest from duke, uf, g'town, etc. may not end up with offers from those schools, but he'd have to really drop off to not be a high-major.  hell he already has at least one big 12 offer (purportedly).

Why would we offer Spradling and not Traynham?  The better athlete was definitely Traynham.  He had more TO's because instead of running an offense DCA would just jack up shots and throw it over 3 guys to Wally, but talent and skill wise he's going to be a much better player.  I think we should just offer all of Brandon Bass and DCA and just take the first 2 other guys who accept.

All I remember of him was one game from the champ game, and I wasn't floored by him.  You think he's better than Trayn?

I think he's at similar level though they have different stregths.  Spradling is a better shooter, with some length for a point.  Tranhaym is quicker and creates more of a match-up issue because teams aren't used to playing those little waterbug types often.  I think both are high BBIQ "true" PGs though.  Both have impressive court vison.  Spradling is probably more versitile as he could play some 2.

It can be a factor if all other factors are equal, but seriously recruits just go to the best situation for them.  But let's say Wichita State offered Spradling first, but then so does KSU, UNLV, VT, and Vandy then it doesn't mean a damn thing.

Agreed.  Means even more if they commit early though.  For example, if Spradling commits in a month or so, then his stock skyrockets over next year. Our odds of keeping the commitment are better than if we were just one of several schools offering later.

a little blurb on ESPN on tyler lamb at the UCLA skills camp:

Quote
Lamb was the steadiest out of all the prospects and demonstrated why he is one of a few elite-level wing-types in the West.

and

Quote
Tyler Lamb (6-4, 190)
2010, Ontario, Calif./ Colony
Lamb might have been the most consistent performer of the camp. His game has grown steadily in the past year and his demeanor is terrific. His handle has improved significantly as well, and despite not having great quickness, he has one of the better crossover moves in the West. In addition, he utilizes the pump fake as well as anybody on the high school level. Lamb still needs to hone his fundamentals -- he has a tendency to leave his feet while attempting to pass in the paint -- and continue to smoothen out his jump shot, which has a slow release, but overall his progress has been excellent.

way to go, frank'te!  (actually cali is figger's territory, isn't it?)

For Assault they were led by diminutive point guard Daryl Traynham. Traynham's quickness was a problem for the guards of the Force, and that allowed Traynham to really control the game at times.

BASKETBALL UPDATE Arkansas’ men’s basketball team entertained four prospects on unofficial visits Saturday, two of whom are part of the talented 2011 class in Arkansas. Little Rock Parkview forward Aaron Ross, 6-7, 205, and East Poinsett County guard Ky Madden, 6-4, 170, visited with the coaches and took in the football game. Ross orally committed to the Hogs in March, and Madden holds offers from Arkansas, Kentucky, Baylor, West Virginia and Ole Miss.

Conway guard Kenyon Mc-Neil, a 6-1, 170-pound prospect for the 2010 class, also was on hand Saturday, as was Arkansas-Fort Smith sophomore small forward Jenniro Bush, 6-7, 180.
McNeil is drawing interest from Arkansas, Ole Miss, Alabama-Birmingham, UALR and Central Arkansas. Bush has offers from LSU and Alabama and is receiving interest from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Mississippi State and others.

I've pretty much always counted on the 2010 class sucking.  It's not going to get better after the season starts and recruits see our bubble NIT performance.  Just hope for a single borderline top 100 and a few three star unranked players at this point.

unfortunately, ksu looks to have a fair number of ships opening in ´10.  boyd prepping and 2010ing @ ksu, a top 100ish hs point (although, ksu seems to be making a surprising effort to pull a 2009 point) and a couple of solid jucos is near best case scenario.  shipman should be ready to transfer by then too.

What sys is describing is essentially the 03 class (wooly's best by far)

Boyd = Martin
top 100ish PG = Willingham
Solid JUCOs = Massey, Williams
Three star unranked = Harris

I would be absolutely thrilled with something like that.  I expect something closer to 02 or 04 however.  With maybe a D1 transfer thrown in to sweeten it up.

I was only in Jr High when it went down, but those were some rumors.  I'm not sure we were willing to take a flyer in him after the mess at Kentucky that he was in.  But he was hired at OSU in 90-91, same year we hired Altman after Kruger left.  I'm not sure how seriously we even looked at Sutton.  So to say we were "close to getting Sutton" may be a stretch.

BTW, this probably lends some validity to the Pressey report from Northstar as well:


From a Leawood post earlier in thread for those who are  :confused:

Two new names I have run across:

Kyrie Irving PG out of New Jersey and number 27 2010 player per Rivals

Phil Pressey PG out of Dallas and number 42 2010 player per Rivals

i'd completely forgotten that to be honest.   but yes, the new rivals report does make pressey more believable  :lick:.  but no mention of ksu in a rivals article on him today  :crybaby:.  how many point guards does ksu want?  are they recruiting anyone who isn't a point?  i guess the 2010 wings are about locked up with boyd and shipman.  boynton to uf all but guarantees the shipman transfer.  though it may still be too early to predict if we get him in '10 or '11

we are now listed with him on rivals

here's some info from northstar:

"Derrick Williams '10, St. Anthony's (NJ)
Williams, a 6'6 power forward, was certainly deserving of MVP honors in this contest. A physical specimen, Derrick is ferocious in the post. As a matter of fact, he is an absolute beast in the paint. Williams is really a pure low post player, as he does not do too much away from the low blocks, though he did do a nice job of hitting his free throws on Sunday. Assuming Williams continues to grow, he could be special."

info from NBE basketball report:

Jai Lucas is transferring now.  That's a bad sign on the Shipman transfer.  I don't suppose we have any shot at Lucas.  Donovan should steer him to us.  he frackin' owes us.

BTW, How awesome would Lucas be coming in next year and playing after Clemente leaves?  Answer: very awesome!

New name.  Tony Mitchell.  Three star small forward for '10.  Impressive, albeit short list of schools.  Has Texas and Marquette as his leaders with interest.

The really nice thing is that we are getting, presumably, the coaches first choices here.  Spradling and Mitchell are elite campers who were offered very early.  These two could end up being the Witherspoon and Kadji who blow up later on.  Only this time, the staff had enough "credit" to get the early commit.  It'll be interesting to see what happens with their stock.  Worst case scenario, they have prtoected themselves from having to take whatever they can get late.  At this point, I would put both these kids at the Jamar Samuels level recruit at minimum.  I hvae heard a lot of good things about both, and they both had high major interest.  Kruger and Majarus eval carries a lot of weight too IMO.

That kid from florida sounds like the real deal... I have watched Spralding play and it is very good probably one of the best from the KC area already.

Not thrilling recruits as of yet, but I think the thing to keep in mind if that they are thrilling gets.  We've just picked up two guys with high major offers and lists, one right out from under Lon Kruger (Not that The Mountain West is high major, but still good.)  We just had Underwood pull in a kid OMGFG.  We just got two kids from two different AAU teams.  Frank used his Florida connections and it actually worked.  And while they aren't a top class by any means, they are a solid start to a solid class.  After the follow up to our last ranked class (Buchi and a guy who stands behind the bench, this is a much nicer follow up.  Kids are giving us looks and it's paying off.

Even if they remain three star unranked, it's a good start for what was setting up to be a poor class.  Considering the circumstances: not much PT to offer, not going to be a very exciting year on the court, I think most HBBRIQers were expecting a down year.  Both these guys are already "solid" with a chance to have their stock go up.  Nothing to be all  :dancin: about, but neither recruit should make you  :banghead: either.  Just get one top 100 at this point, and 2010 is a success...even if these 2 guys don't see anyone's top 100.  (I think at least one if not both will get ranked by somebody)

ESPN seems to think Spradling is a pretty good prospect.  The 88 ranking prob'ly puts him in the Top 100-130 range for 2010.

coach on the floor! (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=44537&season=2010&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncb%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fplayer%3frecruitId%3d44537%26season%3d2010)


not bad. it was 40 a few days ago.

tranny @ 89

40 I think is the standard number for kids they haven't evaluated.  McGruder and Russell are also 89s fwiw.  ESPN also ranks both 10 players in the top 30 of their position.

JFC, may as well say "KSU got a white kid"   :lol:

Quote
November, 2008: Spradling ai a versatile guard with the toughness and competitiveness to play in the Big 12. He's an excellent ball-handler and decision-maker and really knows how to run a team. In addition to his ability to man the point, he can also slide over to the two spot and be effective there. Spradling is good at coming off screens and knocking down jump shots. At either position he definitely makes you come out and guard him. Spradling will bring toughness and leadership when he arrives at K-State. Will brings all the intangibles to the floor, despite not being a high-level athlete. He dives all over the place for loose balls and is a coach on the floor which (KSU head) Coach (Frank) Martin and his staff will love. What he lacks in athleticism he more than makes up for with his shooting ability and his leadership.

n e 1 else not sure what to make of these 2010 recruits? neither are listed on any top 100 lists, but both seemed to be wanted by others schools.

dunno, just don't really want to jump into this "OMG! FRANK IS A GOD!" crap the tards keep spewing. gotta keep it realistic, that way i can stay #1.

It's very Roy Williams-esque one year on, one year off recruiting.

Elite classes in odd-numbered years, so-so classes in even numbered years.

on top of that, the overall quality of the odd-numbered year senior classes has been very good whereas the quality of the even-numbered year senior classes has been completely "meh" (2007, 2009 vs. 2008, 2010).  Rumor has it that 2011 is supposed to be a really good class.  It's just weird.

But he plays at a 2a school.  He is not their only scorer, they have two others averaging 19.

Is he a senior?  If not, he is gonna have to get noticed on the AAU circuit.  Not the only way, but it would help.  Otherwise, he will need to put together some highlight videos that showcase his skills and send them out to coaches.

Sorry, that wasn't clear. 1-50.

My bad, though, I went back and found that quote. His "people" thinks he can be in the top 50. Meyer did say 75-150. Mitchell certainly has the athleticism to be in the top 50.

Don't know how serious, but the WIBW guys last night said we were in Topeka to see Rico Richardson (http://kansasstate.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=73318) from Highland Park (Topeka).  He is probably one of the best shooters in Kansas this year, if not the best.  Don't know if he's high major material though, mainly b/c of his size.  Perhaps a walk-on candidate, but I'm sure this guy will get plenty of low and mid major attention.

couple new names:

Brendan Frazier from NY:

http://kansasstate.scout.com/a.z?s=173&p=8&c=1&nid=4189084

ESPN evaluation:

Quote
May, 2008: Frazier is an aggressive lead guard who is most comfortable with the ball in his hands. He is at his best in the open floor as he utilizes his tight handle and good speed to attack the rim. He can also make plays in a half-court set thanks to a reasonably quick first step. He likes to try and make a play before getting too deep, either by pulling up with his quick release or attempting to draw out shot blockers and hit his big men with shovel passes. He runs into problems when he can't utilize either option as his lean physique and pension for avoiding contact makes finishing at the rim a challenge. He must learn to play the game with more patience as he can force the issue too much and is capable of being a bit erratic with the ball.

scout also added JJ Thomas from Baton Rouge. 

 team.  Schools showing interest: Princeton, Stanford, UConn, SE LA and others

Quote
6.JJ Thomas 6’5” (PF) Scotlandville-All District, most powerful player in area, can rebound and throws down thunderous dunks.  Very athletic and can run the floor.  Is a dominant high school post but is yet to be seen if a 6’5” PF will work for a D1 school.  (Charles Barkley)  He needs to work on perimeter offensive skills.  Schools showing interest: Depaul, K State, La Tech, Tulane, and others.

2nd update i've seen where oladipo doesn't mention ksu as one of the schools recruiting him.  kinda wish ksu was, even though he isn't an elite.  would be nice to get an oladipo next spring instead of an irving.

really hard finding updates on mitchell.  brandon bass elite played at the real deal in the rock, but none of the reports seem to want to mention bbe.  frustrating.  they must have played elsewhere too, but i haven't seen where.  ross-miller is playing with bbe this spring, btw.

god only knows where spiece mo-kan is playing, if spradling is even still with them (do they still exist?  did they change into, or merge with the kansas players?).

I thought I read somewhere that BBE was merging with one of the Texas AAU teams (DFW Select, perhaps?).  Spiece MO-KAN still exists, but I don't know what their tournament schedule looks like.  Shame that Ellis left SMK for KP, because we could have used Spradlings influence "in the locker room".

i had thought that too, trey.  but i've seen several mentions of bbe this spring.


i'm not positive that mitchell is still with them.  there was a poster on some random message board that claimed he would run with team breakdown.

if he is still on bbe, it is a bit discouraging that none of the real deal in the rock articles would mention him.  that would not be normal of a 50-100ish player.

The Florida Rams had solid production from Louisville commitment Josh Langford and also Kyle Marshall. Langford is an attacking wing who also shot the ball well from the mid-range and deeper. Marshall is athletic and likes to finish at the rim with authority. Both Langford and Marshall had excellent performances on Saturday.

Kyle Marshall says he has 16 offers, some of them are Auburn, Kansas State, Butler, Houston, UNC-Wilmington, and South Carolina

He’s got a bailout runner, a baseline floater and the toughness to make it all work.

another 2010 offer with an official visit in the works:

Quote
USC and Clemson are among the schools going after 6-9 junior SF Brandon Mobley of Savannah. Both offered back in October and have remained heavily involved. "South Carolina has been recruiting me real hard," Mobley said. "They came to about three or four of my games. And they've been to my school to see me work out. Clemson also is on my strong and has been to my school."

Mobley saw both teams play at the same time last season. He made an unofficial visit to USC when the Gamecocks played the Tigers. He has not visited Clemson. Mobley also has offers from Indiana, Cincinnati, Georgia, Missouri, Kansas State, Marquette and Kentucky. Mobley said he will schedule his official visits this fall with USC, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas State and Cincinnati. He plans to make a decision before his season.

Last season Mobley averaged 25 points, 14 rebounds and 8 blocks per game. He plays mostly center and power forward for his high school but has small forward skills, and the colleges like him for the three spot.

Title: Re: 2010 Recruiting thread
Post by: treysolid on May 07, 2009, 03:07:32 PM
Offer on the table for Tim Hardaway Jr.

Quote
The days of watching former NBA great Tim Hardaway do the "UTEP two-step" on the basketball floor now live in our memories. But it might not be long before another player bearing that name again graces the television screen.

Miami (Fla.) Palmetto shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is one of the up-and-coming players in the Sunshine State. A three-star prospect (and rising) according to Scout.com, Hardaway Jr. doesn't have dad's killer crossover, but he does have the type of all-around skill-set that is garnering interest from a number of major programs, including the University of Michigan.

"Coach Beilein came down here twice," said Palmetto head coach Chris Brown. "We've been in contact quite a bit. Coach B and (assistant) Coach Mahoney have done a great job recruiting him. They really like him. They think (Michigan) is a great fit for him because of their style of play and what they're looking for."

The 2010 class will play a pivotal role in the perpetuation of Michigan's resurgence. Replacing DeShawn Sims and possibly even Manny Harris are major priorities. The addition of the 6-foot-5, 180-pound Hardaway could be a major part of the plan.

Advertisement

"They are looking at him as a Manny Harris type," said Brown. "He's somebody who can come in right away and be a big guard who can rebound, run off some screens, and hit the three. I think the 1-3-1 (defense) fits him well too because he's so long."

Similar game

There's reciprocal interest on Hardaway Jr.'s behalf, as well. After observing the Wolverines upset Duke during his December unofficial visit to Ann Arbor, the talented youngster gained a better appreciation for what a future in the Maize and Blue would look like.

"(Michigan) fits my game," said Hardaway. "It's just like at our school. We have constant ball movement, we pass the ball, we run a lot of backdoor cuts and we come off screens."

Brown believes his talented pupil has a particularly strong chance to thrive in Beilein's offense. One of the requisite traits for every player in the veteran coach's system is the ability to shoot. Hardaway Jr. passes that test with flying colors.

"He can definitely flat out shoot it," said Brown. "He is a 6-5 guard with unlimited range. Plus he is very versatile. He plays the one, the two, and even plays the five at times for us. He likes to get up, defend, and get after it. I think what stands out most is that he can put the ball on the floor and he sees the floor well. He can do it all as far as the one through three at the next level."

Michigan isn't the only school that is coveting that outstanding versatility. Minnesota and Kansas State have both offered, while Florida, South Carolina, Kansas State, Northwestern and Florida State are showing strong interest. The list could grow even more in the coming months if Hardaway does as well on the AAU circuit as pundits are predicting. Regardless of how numerous his suitors are, they all face they the difficult task of meeting the very high comfort threshold that has been established by Michigan.

"I don't think (Beilein) holds anybody back," said Tim Hardaway Sr. "He just wants to excel. He lets all of his ball players play the game of basketball. If you got a (open) jump shot, he wants you to take it. If you don't take it, he is yelling at you. He wants the team to play with confidence. He makes them play the right way. They pass the extra pass. They all dribble good. He just needs some athletes in there.

"I think the world of Michigan, and did before Beilein even got there," he continued. "It is a great academic school. They do a lot of great things with their athletes. The basketball program is coming back to life and the football program is too."

Right direction

Hardaway Jr. clearly shares in his father's belief in Beilein and in the direction of the Michigan basketball program.

"He's a great coach and he's really interested in me," the younger Hardaway said of Beilein. "I trust him with everything -- with all my decisions. He is just a great coach. (Michigan) is definitely on top of my list. No question about it. I am going to start cutting down schools when school starts back next year and have my decision at the end of basketball (season) or maybe during."

Hardaway indicated that his timetable is still somewhat tentative. However, if the recruiting process is indeed prolonged, it won't have anything to do with his father's rumored interest in coaching him in college.

"I'm not going to put no pressure on my son," Hardaway Sr. said. "I don't want to be a coach to him. I just want to be a dad to him. I've seen how it can tear up a home. It almost tore up ours already because I want him to excel so much. I do want to get into coaching, but now I just want to be a dad to him. If he asks me some questions -- if he wants me to go out there and show him some moves, I will. I still show him moves, show him what he needs to work on, and take him through drills and stuff. But I'm just a dad to him."

A dad that strongly believes his son could experience a great deal of success in Ann Arbor.

Khyle Marshall SF (6-6, 200)
2010, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. / Flanagan (Florida Rams)

Marshall was in full attack mode on every catch. He has a great motor and is aggressive on both ends of the floor. He competes for rebounds and is very quick to the ball. Marshall runs the floor in transition and is an above the rim finisher in traffic. This wiry strong lefty can also get to the rim with quick first step slashes and can score with athletic moves over or around defenders. Marshall can float and hang in the air and does a good job of drawing fouls. He also loves to attack the basket along the baseline where he extends with his great length to finish with ease. Marshall will use the spin move when he wants to get to the rim from the high post area as well. He has great body control as spins off defenders to score in the middle of the lane. The 3-point shot was also falling today with time and space but his jumper is an area that he must work on to be more consistent. He has the length and athletic ability to defend all three perimeter positions in a switch situation. The young wing is very versatile and will be a treat to watch develop this summer.

Also, Spradling's team (Speice Mo-Kan) won the USSSA midwest festival of teams.  I'm trying to find out what the competition was like and how Will played.  FWIW, Minnesota Pump-n-Run took second and the Harrison Barnesless All-Iowa Attack hosted the tournament.

UPDATE:  actually Spiece mokan beat Minn PnR in the semis and the Minnesota Fury Elite in the finals:

http://www.alliowaattack.com/Docs/USSSAMidwestFestivalofTeams-Results.pdf

The Fury Elite doesn't have a single player listed in Rivals database.  PnR has three but none of them are currently ranked.  The best of which appears to be 6'8" small forward Kevin Noreen with offers from Gonzaga, Boston College, Northern Ill, William and Mary and Wis GB.  They also had a guard with an offer from Drake and a 7ftr with an offer from Santa Clara and Wis GB.  All Iowa Attack must have been a one man team.  They didn't even place in their own tournament.

Hardaway Jr blurb:

Quote
Tim Hardaway Jr. (6-4, 185, P/SG)
2010, Palmetto, Fla.

Hardaway, who has obvious basketball bloodlines, displayed high-level ballhandling and passing ability at both guard positions. He is an excellent athlete who uses his quickness and length to his advantage. He showed he is a threat from 3 if the defender backs off. He was very good in transition pushing the ball up the floor and is a great finisher at the rim. He had a good feel for using ball screens and also could create off the dribble. He was able to get into the paint for a midrange jump shot and did a nice job drawing the defense and kicking out to an open teammate. Defensively, he is a smart, fundamentally sound player who understands angles and has above-average lateral quickness. He still has upside and is developing some point guard skills. As his body continues to mature, Hardaway should blossom into an excellent college player.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/basketball/mens/news/story?id=4206100

...and this on Kyrie Irving:

Quote
Kyrie Irving Pt/G (6-2, 175) 2010, Elizabeth, N.J., St. Patrick's

There is no question that Irving is an elite point guard with his advanced skill, confidence and high basketball I.Q. He runs a team with poise, excellent peripheral vision and an ability to score at anytime from anywhere on the floor. His range was out beyond the arc on a consistent basis; his shot selection from behind the arc also was good. His middle game is superb; he pulls up on a dime and scores with ease before the help defender gets close. Equally impressive, on his drive to the basket he knows how to -- and when to -- change speeds and score at the rim with good body control. He exhibits a beautiful retreat, cross-over attack dribble to create space when he see's the double-team running at him or when his defender is really applying strong ball pressure. On his penetration, Irving demonstrates the ability to read defenses, see the assist and deliver the correct pass on time and on target. In the transition game, when Irving receives the outlet pass, he has his eyes and head up as he looks to throw ahead or push the ball with the speed dribble. When playing off the ball and being overplayed, he sets his man up and back cuts to rim. Knowing the importance of getting open, he runs off screens and works to free himself for a score. He needs to get stronger because when he did get trapped he struggled. Still, Irving is one of the most dangerous guards in the nation. He can create for himself, create for his teammates and still is a student of the game.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/basketball/mens/news/story?id=4206546


BTW, Hardaway made the ESPN top 100.   :woot:

Powell just might be the sleeper big man in the 2010 class. He is long and athletic and has a developing physical frame. Offensively he is comfortable with the ball in both the low post and the high post and shows promise as a finisher. He still has a ways to go as a player, but his upside is quite promising.

Mitchell singled out for defense at the Vince Carter thingy.

Quote
3. Tony Mitchell, 2010, (Grand Prairie, Texas/Living Faith Christian) Mitchell may have been the strongest player in the camp. When he guarded Vince Carter in a one-on-one drill, Carter made mention of his strength. By nature he can defend in the post, but his 7-foot, 2-inch wing span allows him to go out deep on the perimeter and guard. He will be an extremely valuable defender in college. He will be able to defend small forwards, power forwards and some centers. Offensively he drives and finishes well along with scoring on offensive putbacks, and finishing dump-off passes through contact at the rim. He could stand to add a bit of range to his jumper.

Wrong Tony Mitchell.

Here is ESPN's write-up on our Tony Mitchell. Note that it was done in October 2008.

http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=73058&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncb%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fplayer%3frecruitId%3d73058

Evaluation

October, 2008: Mitchell is a long athlete who thrives on the fast break. He runs the lane and can get to the rim on a regular basis. He is most comfortable driving to his right but can slash from the wing on both sides of the floor. He likes to spin off defenders to score at point blank range or finish with a pull up jumper with good elevation. Mitchell will post smaller defenders and execute a nice right handed jump hook over his left shoulder. He is also a regular on the offensive glass with a power put back or athletic tip in. Mitchell is active and is always looking to make a play.

Position rank Shooting Guard # 32
Height 6'5"
Weight 175 lbs.

Evaluation / Notes On the Trail / Features
Status
Undeclared

Scouts Grade
93


Considering: No schools at this time. Evaluation
June, 2009: This long, lean and athletic wing finishes over or around opponents in transition. Williams has a scorer's mentality and can hit threes in bunches by sprinting the floor in transition, spotting up on the side of dribble penetration or coming off screens. He also is skilled enough to make scoring plays off the dribble. Williams uses his length to shoot over smaller defenders. He is also a capable multiple position defender, good ball handler and rebounder. He is off to a great start this spring and one to watch closely this summer.

Frank Williams starting to garner some attention...........

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frank Williams | SG 

Hometown  Raytown, MO 
High School Raytown High School 
Position rank Shooting Guard # 32
Height 6'5"
Weight 175 lbs.
 
Last Updated: 7/3/2009 Data provided by Scouts, Inc.
Evaluation / Notes On the Trail / Features
Status
Undeclared

Scouts Grade
93



Considering: No schools at this time. Evaluation
June, 2009: This long, lean and athletic wing finishes over or around opponents in transition. Williams has a scorer's mentality and can hit threes in bunches by sprinting the floor in transition, spotting up on the side of dribble penetration or coming off screens. He also is skilled enough to make scoring plays off the dribble. Williams uses his length to shoot over smaller defenders. He is also a capable multiple position defender, good ball handler and rebounder. He is off to a great start this spring and one to watch closely this summer.

Frank Williams is ready to play basketball for Kansas State. The 2010 prospect already owns a closet full of purple gear and follows the team throughout the season, rarely missing a game. All he needs now is a scholarship offer. The goal is one he moved a little closer to reaching during this weekend, as walked left Manhattan with an invitation to attend the school's upcoming Elite Basketball Camp......................

I'm starting to think we should make an offer. 

Plus, he fits into the "I just want kids that want to be here" category which is very important.

Quote from: eric bossi
Sticking with the KC beat, keep an eye on 6-5 shooter Frank Williams this summer. High majors will b watching @ LeBron & with Spiece Mo-Kan

Quote from: eric bossi
Here's five guys I'm predicting break out in July. 1) Joe Harris, 6-5 SG, Chelan (WA) High 2) Frank Williams, 6-5 SG, Raytown (MO) High 3) K.T. Harrell, 6-3 SG, Montgomery Jeff Davis 4) Charles Hankerson, 6-5 SF, Miami Coral Reef 5) Kevin Thomas, 6-8 C/PF, Waco University

the scout rating is 100% bossi.  i doubt telep or daniels have even seen him play.


espn - who the &@#% knows.  do they have any propriatary scouts other than rankin?  do they hire guys to scout tourneys freelance?  i have no idea.

be funny if the espn rating was bossi freelancing.

From ESPN's Day 2 report of the LeBron James Skill Academy:

Quote
Surprise player

Combination forward Tony Mitchell (Grand Prairie, Texas/ Living Faith Christian) has a big-time body and is as strong and physical as any player I watched compete Monday. He is effective from about 12 feet and in offensively. He has good ballhandling skills at 6-foot-7 and can beat most forwards to the rim where he can finish through contact. He attacked the glass on both ends of the floor -- especially offensively. He rebounded over and around opponents for tipins and started fast breaks with his defensive rebounds. Mitchell, a Kansas State commit, was quick to the ball and finished drop-off passes above the rim with ease. His jump shot needs immediate attention to take his game to the next level. He shoots flat footed and has a very low release, but overall Mitchell competed and was an attention getter with his effort, energy and physical play on both ends of the floor. He also has the size and athletic ability to defend both forward positions.

Also, went from a 83 to a 150 Watch List prospect just like that

Update on Frank Williams from Lebron James Skills Academy:

Quote
Frank on fire
Class of 2010 prospect Frank Williams (Raytown, Mo.) is a 6 foot 5 wing who came to the Skills Academy with the reputation as a jump shooter, and he didn't disappoint this afternoon. Williams is a confident shooter with a quick trigger. He is rail thin and must add strength in order to be more effective off the dribble and on the glass. However, knocking down open shots is his specialty. He is athletic and can finish above the rim with ease. On Tuesday, he ran the outside lane spotting up, feed the post and relocated and spaced to the open area on the side to get his shots. His release reminded me of a young Andrew Toney at times. Williams is fun to watch get it going from the outside. If the defender is not close to him on the catch or approaches with his hands down, Williams has the ability to make deep jumpers look like layups.

Also, frank is listed as the #24 SG on Scout, 3 spots ahead of Royce Woolridge...

Frank Williams has offers from Central Michigan, Murray State, Oral Roberts and Wichita State.   Kansas State, Missouri, Marquette, Minnesota, Arkansas and Michigan State will watch him closely. …

Quote
Frank Williams, SG: Been a big end of June/early July for this guy. Like his length and he’s got a release that will give him a chance. His smooth stroke is going to make someone fall hard for him as a shooting specialist. Not bad for a guy whose expectations were to just get a scholarship. “Actually, they projected me as low-major but I didn’t let that affect me,” Williams said. “I just kept working hard.”

Quote
Tony Mitchell made a couple strong plays to note, including a strong hook shot that forced an and-1 attempt. He muscled up in the paint a good bit and really showed his creating abilities on a couple nice passes and shots.

Quote
Coaches Break — front row is Mark Fox, Matta (J-Boals), ‘Ol Roy, Drew, B-Gregory, John Groce and the Brothers Miller (Sean and Arch). Down the other end is Tom Crean, Josh Pastner. Mike Montgomery and Beilein in the house too. Howland, Huggs and Frank Martin, Dwayne Stephens (MSU asst) Rick Stansbury.

Quote
Vaughn Allen ’10, prep school: St. Peter’s, Marist, and Kansas State
Offers: None
Favorite: Kansas State
Dream School: “I’d like to go to Kansas if it’s possible.”
Note- Allen, a graduate of Mt. Vernon (NY) who told me he has "opened back up my recruiting process," said he is definitely going to a prep school, and is considering Notre Dame Prep (MA) and Ocean Shore (NJ).

His physique, athleticism and motor only will carry him along way, but he also possesses a skill set ready to blossom. Mitchell will likely land as a four-star prospect in the post summer Rivals150.

Tony Mitchell (Miami, Fla./Center of Life Academy) was a bright surprise and is likely to blow up. He was slowed some by an injured back during the spring but his explosiveness around the hoop and ability to step out was eye-opening. He never really went through the recruiting process having made an early verbal to Kansas State but recently opened back up. Arizona State was the only school he knew of that would be out to watch him but that is all changing after his week of play.

Quote
Khyle Marshall (Davie, Fla./Flanagan) said he’s planning visit to Auburn and Butler but that he has 17 offers total and will need to trim his list after the month before setting any more.

tony mitchell observo from an elite sooner poster who saw him at the denton GASO.

Quote
Watched two of his games (along with Frank Martin).

First thing that stood out to me was his length (dude has got to have over a 7 foot wingspan). He runs the floor really well, and has a nice combo of strength and speed. Got most of his buckets off of drives and on putbacks. Showed some good energy on the defensive end (especially during game 2 when the score was close). His jumper from the midrange and from the 3 point line has got to improve. Overall, I liked his game.

I'm certainly not the most knowledgeable recruiting guy, but it looks like we only have 2 open schollies for '10.  We lose Clemente and Colon, and we have Spradling committed and look to be the strong favorite for the Asprilla transfer.  Seems like a Asprilla for Mitchell trade seems fairly even.   :dunno:

I count 14 dudes on the roster, with Werner and OJ being walk-ons.  That would still leave one open schollie for DPete or Asprilla.  But, the majority of things that I have read/heard recently point to Asprilla not being released from his schollie at all and playing a year at a juco before joining us for '10.  Kinda sucks that the coaches aren't allowed to comment on either player until he actually signs, it would be nice to know how Frank and Co. think things will shake out for DPete/Asprilla.

Dpete coming this year and Asprilla the year after would be amazing!   :love: Jmart said something to the effect of Asprilla being able to go to Juco for a year while not playing and then coming here for three years.  I kind of thought he had to be on scholarship at the school he intended to play for, but that would be ideal.  But if he does get released he'd be on our count.  I just hope Dpete is doing some homework while he camps out on Pullen's couch.

Somehow through the use of the quote functionality my name got connected to somebody else's words so I am not sure to whom your post was directed, but I will respond.

Maybe I am just confused as to what you are saying, but if Asprilla gets a scholarship beginning this upcoming school year, in all likelihood he will have a scholarship in 2010 thus leaving (I believe) two scholarships for 2010, one of which is Spradling's. Obviously this assumes nobody leaves, which is not a given. And, yes, I am assuming Merriwether will not be on a basketball scholarship, which could be incorrect.

Whether or not Asprilla will get a scholarship seems still up in the air. It is my understanding he can appeal within FIU above the head coach. If that fails he can appeal to the NCAA.  If he fails all those, yes, junior college seems the likely alternative.

It appears that quite a few of us have totally forgotten how to properly use the quote function in this thread, myself included.  I wasn't really responding to anybody in particular, more just to the posts above my own in general.  I keep hearing rumors about Energy being awarded an academic schollie at some point, but I'm not sure if that will ever actually happen.  I would be extremely surprised to not see him on any sort of schollie at all next year.  I just don't see Frank rewarding him for his hard work and then taking it away.  Unless, of course, that we just happened to have an extra one available, and Frank decided to reward Chris for a season.  I guess that seems fairly logical. :dunno:   And I think it's basically anybody's guess how the Asprilla situation plays out.  I just hope it plays out soon.

What is the word on this d00d http://kansasstate.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?sport=2&pr_key=84429

according to yosh, ksu stopped recruiting him some time ago.


from his updates, he's doing really well.  also is smart, lots of elite academo type schools like harvard, stanford, vandy are after him.

I got a couple words about him:  weird looking.

He looks like an alien imo.

He really does.   :frown:

I'll give him this:  His hairline and eyebrows are impeccably well maintained.  Wonder if he spends that kind of time on his jumper?

So per Jerry Meyers latest update, Mitchell is going to be a 5-star in the post summer rankings.  Not bad for a guy who was outside of the top 150 just 6 weeks ago.   :skillz:

Gotta admit it - Frank, 'Te and 6Figga are among the best in the nation at evaluating talent. 

Also said that Frank was checking out the DCA 16's very closely, prolly not so much for Quinn anymore as for Jordan.

LAS VEGAS- Former Kansas State commitment Tony Mitchell established himself as a promising four-star prospect at the King City Classic earlier in July. This week in Vegas, Mitchell has taken his game to an even higher level.

Mitchell is an athletic talent.
Tony Mitchell (Brandon Bass Elite)

There are similarities between Mitchell and Perry Jones. Both are elite athletes with size and talented but raw skill games. They both have helped their stocks tremendously in Vegas. Jones has gone from borderline elite prospect to potential No. 1 prospect. Mitchell has established himself as a five-star prospect and bona fide NBA prospect.

At 6-foot-7 and with a live body, Mitchell is a legitimate small forward with an explosive first step. He is a developing three-point shooter who also has a post up game. And on the glass, he can rebound with the best of them.

Head coaches from Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Georgetown and Cincinnati were courtside for his game.

seriously, every mitchell report just gets more and more depressing.

Quote
The was supposed to be a showcase of rising senior Tony Mitchell and junior DeAndre Daniels, but Daniels is out of the tournament with a fractured wrist suffered against Grassroots Canada the first night.

Brandon Bass premiered Tony Mitchell, a long (7'2 wingspan), active forward who can play inside and out. Mitchell knows how to post up on the block but spent more time on the wing.

He can shoot it, and opened up this game with a three. He connected on a couple throughout the contest. At times his jump shot looked stiff, but his form is solid, he just needs to relax when shooting. He also took the ball strong to the hoop on several occasions.

Mitchell's biggest strengths are his NBA level athleticism and versatility. His leaping ability helped him grab rebounds easily above everyone else on the floor, and contest shots with intimidation. He can guard multiple positions 2s, 3s and 4s at the next level (college) but he looks more comfortable playing on the perimeter.

His NBA position is most likely at small forward. He's a coachable kid who plays within himself and the flow of the offense. However, often times he relies on his athleticism on defense and ends up out of position. His body has filled out significantly over the last year, especially in the past 6 months, which is a good sign for his durability.

Tony Mitchell, SF/PF, Brandon Bass – Mitchell is the owner of one of the best-looking frames in high school basketball. The 6-foot-8 chiseled forward has wide shoulders and long arms, to go with his impressive strength. At this stage we think he’s more of a combo forward, but down the road we think he’ll make the transition to the wing full time. Mitchell has high level hops, can finish at the rim because of his strength and even knocked in a few mid-range jumpers...  Tony Mitchell drew a handful of head coaches – Mick Cronin, Travis Ford, John Thompson and Frank Martin. Louisville, Arizona State and Missouri had assistants watching.

right, if both D-Pete and Asprilla can come in this year, then C-Mer will move off scholarship and we'll have two to give in 2010 (with 1 being spradling and the other preferably being mitchell)

if D-Pete makes it and Asprilla doesn't (spending a year at a Juco), then C-Mer will stay on scholly and we'll have 3 to give in 2010 (spradling, Asprilla and preferably mitchell)

if things don't look good for D-Pete making it, I think the staff might just cut their losses and offer williams his scholarship.  however, the best thing about D-Pete making it is that it'll give us a second scholly for the 2012 class, so we can potentially get goodman AND someone else.

if mitchell doesn't commit to us, then it's probably between marshall and williams for that scholly.

You would think but, in reality, you don't want to show too much EMAWness.  That way, if someone tries to pin it one you, you can simply claim you are a huge fan of the second Indiana Jones movie, the color purple, (not the movie, the actual color) and high school hoops.  That large sum of cash that fell out of your pocket (accidentally) was actually money you planned to donate to some very worth cause later that day.  It's pretty much a fool proof plan.

Now that July has passed, Mitchell will take some time to sort things out. His mother’s opinion will weigh heavily on his decision, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t willing to get away from his Texas roots (again) for college.

Quote
I’m still open to other schools getting in.  I’m looking at playing time, that’s going to be important. Distance and things like that don’t really matter.  It would be great to get back close to home, but it doesn’t really matter.

After having a tremendous month of July, Tony Mitchell named Arizona State, Georgetown and Kansas State as the three schools recruiting him the hardest. He plans to officially visit all three. More visits might be in order as he plans to wait until the spring to sign.

good ol' ron bailey reports on mitchell.

http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=973420

Quote
"He's been offered by Kansas State, Arizona State, Georgetown of course, MD, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Missouri" said Vonzell Thomas, Mitchell's travel team coach with Brandon Bass Elite, via telephone. The decision's date has not been finalized, as Thomas informed of it "Right now, it's all up to his mother…I don't know if it's the fall or spring. Right now I would think the fall"....

Before that college choice is made, another school could be chosen; Tony may transfer high schools. "Right now, he's probably going back to Miami Centre Life Academy" shared Thomas, though are other options, such as Dallas' Pinkston are being considered. "That's the two choices. Of course other schools like Findlay (NV) have contacted him".

Where is the benefit in this?  I mean, would the juco even give him a scholly to ride pine for one season?  Why not just come to KSU and get paid hush money under the table to go to classes for a year or just sleep on Jakes couch like everyone else?  I'm pretty lbbiq but I would guess if he does attend a juco he is on scholly and has to play...unless Art promises the juco some of his crappy players down the road which would make him a true kstatriot (assuming we land him).

Why not just hang out in Colombia though?  I mean, if he's not going to play anyway.  I just think his juco enrollment is a last ditch effort to get FIU to release him.

Kentari Nettles of Mac Irvin Fire has reopened his recruitment after previously being verbally committed to South Alabama. The 6-9 post player saw his stock rise throughout the summer and now has offers from Alabama, Arizona State, Boston College, Central Michigan, East Tennessee State, Murray State, Kansas State, Louisville, Missouri, Nebraska, Purdue, Seton Hall, Southern Illinois, Utah, West Virginia, LSU, Mississippi State, Rutgers, and Memphis. Nettles also told us that he will be attending school this year at Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. There he will team up with national top 5 player, Quincy Miller of the class of 2011. Last season Nettles played with McDonald’s All-American DeMarcus Cousins at Leflore in Alabama.

yeah.  I meant powell.  Not sure on Marshall.  It was weird that there was no news on him in July.

In 2011 news Ryan Boatwright got added to our ESPN page in the last week.  they could either be slow, or he could still be considering KSU.

he's a 4 star on scout

doesn't look too bad - i certainly wouldn't be upset if he was our consolation prize in the mitchell sweepstakes.

how would you know KSU wasn't calling him until now?  No one reports on KSU bball recruiting.  I just assumed, since he camped, played for brandon bass, and had KSU listed on his Rivals profile that KSU was calling him.

yeah, i don't think so in this case.  ksu was mentioned with scott (pretty peripherally) back in the spring, there was talk about him maybe coming to the elite camp.  but he didn't come, and then all his updates over the summer didn't include ksu.

Asprilla is officially going to Dade next year.

He will visit 5 schools, but will decide immediately after a visit if he likes it (forgoing other visits) and will sign in the November period.

K-State is his first visit.

Asprilla is officially going to Dade next year.

He will visit 5 schools, but will decide immediately after a visit if he likes it (forgoing other visits) and will sign in the November period.

K-State is his first visit.


Oldefella told us as soon as FITZ knows something they'll post it.

Your info is probably wrong.

spradling has a better body and is a better athlete and plays a position that demands less athleticism/strength.  just switch him off onto the 2 when playing a real quick 1 and he's fine.  w. williams he'd just get killed by the big 2s and 3s in the big 12.  he needs like 30 pounds before he could even hope to stay on the court.

sprads at PG would make clent look like the fastest man on earth.  so if you want to slide him over to the 2, fine, but imo, b/t the two, frank gets his shot off quicker (granted that's with limited viewing on the interwebs).  also, frank has, like, offers.  franks 2 inches taller and appears like he has larger feet, so I'm assuming he could fill those out, though his shoulders aren't that broad.  also, I don't like white players.

Maurice Wingate
NYCHoops.net

In a city where there is an abundance of scorers at the high school level, superior point guards who understand the game are at a premium.

Shane Southwell had an in-home from Kansas State
To find a talented PG at the division one level, one college knew exactly where to go. To the home of Shane Southwell, point guard for Rice HS in Manhattan, NY. The senior spoke with NYCHoops.net about his recent in-home visit and about the three schools that made his final cut.

Last Thursday, Southwell and his mother received an in-home visit from Kansas State. "Coach Frank Martin and assistant coach Dalonte Hill came to see me," said Southwell. According to Southwell, the visit, which lasted about two hours, went, "Real well." "They talked to me about coming in to play right away and about me playing either the point or combo guard," said Southwell. Also present at the in-home visit was Rice HS assistant coach Dwayne Mitchell who concurred that the visit went well. Southwell added that he will be taking an official visit to Kansas State on the 25th of September.

When asked had he cut his list down, Southwell responded, "I'm only looking at Kansas State, Providence and South Carolina."

Southwell says that the primary factor in his final decision will be his playing in the point guard position. "Distance is not a factor for me. The opportunity to play point is important."

With the high school season fast approaching for the defending Federation champion Rice Raiders, Southwell will be playing hard for the repeat but will also be honing his skills for the next level. "I want to play the point, full time this season and work on being more aggressive in my scoring."

As to when he will decide on a college, Southwell says that it will be in early November.

Shane Southwell

2010

6’6” 185 lbs.

PG/SG/SF

#3 ranked in ‘10

Southwell is one of the most promising players in NYC. He has great length and extraordinary talent. Has the body of a wing player, and the game of a point guard. Has great court-vision and finds the open man on most occasions. Can slice through a zone or man defense and finish over an opposing big man. Runs the floor well on the fast break. Has a good jump shot but tends to attack the hoop as supposed to pulling up for a jump shot. Is a great defender due to his extreme length and quickness. Needs to add strength to his body in order to take his game to that next level. – July 19th R.A.

Southwell is an extremely versatile 6 foot 6 player. I called him a player because he does not have a singular position. Because of his excellent size, quickness, athleticism, ball-handling, and natural feel for the game with the ball Southwell can play point guard, off-guard, or small forward on both ends of the floor with relative ease. This ability will prove invaluable for him in college and will earn him minutes with whichever school he decides on.

Southwell is a true NYC player that is not afraid to use some slick moves while playing, as he delivers fancy no-look passes to teammates regularly. While it may look good, Southwell will learn at the next level that he will have to cut down on these kinds of plays and make the most efficient play, especially on the fast-break.

With the ability that he has to see over the defense, Southwell is great at breaking pressure and with time will only get better. He is very similar to Geoff McDermott (recently graduated from Providence) except he is smaller, quicker, and more naturally aggressive than Geoff. Also, like McDermott, Southwell will be at his best at the next level when he either helps to bring the ball up the floor or when he is put in the middle of the floor, at the foul line area, in order to break down the defense with his versatile skill set.

The one thing that Southwell has to improve vastly to reach his ceiling is his jump shot. If he can get some consistency on that jumper he has a great future in college ahead and who knows where he might be in a few years. – Sept. 15th J.B.

I was hearing from people close to the situation a couple weeks ago that Frank and staff have washed their hands of the situation due to his mom'$ involvement with his recruitment.  Funny how she hasn't given a $hit about this kid for 17 years and now suddenly does.

If what I have been told is accurate in terms of what she is shopping T. Mitch around for and the way this is publically playing out, I'm half way glad that Frank's not getting us into the middle of this mess.

Bird in hand and all that.  Plus, who knows if those kids will actually end up playing PG or SG at the D1 level even if we do sign them all.  Also, depth at the guard position is sweet.

the biggest difference between a point forward and a point guard is that the point guard usually brings the ball up the court.  shane is a point forward.  if he's gonna get pissed off that he can't bring up ball up the floor 100% of the time, then he's not exactly the tough, gritty NY player that i think he is.

agree. I'm still curious how frank will use McGruder.  If Gruds is a point/combo, then in '10 we'd have Pullen (sr.), Russell (So), Irving (SO), Gruds (SO), and Sprads (Fr) all playing the 1-2 spots.  I don't know what Southwell really wants, but out 1-2 guards do the ball handling, maybe we can sell him on that.

Frank will give him a more than fair shot.  He is pretty consistent in recruiting guys he hopes can become big PGs.  I think he loves the idea.  I can see a few scenarios with say McGruder, Irving and Southwell on the floor in which Southwell would be running point in half court in non-critical situations, but i don't think he's going to expect to beat out  SR Pullen as a Freshman to be the defacto #1 PG.  Frank also loves the idea of having multiple guys out there who can run point.  He might just tell Southwell, "if you get the rebound consider yourself PG for that possesion."  This is different than the Peete-Wooly situation because Frank's style doesn't demand a "slow it down, get it to the PG, set up the triangle" on every possesion.  Like Rusty, Frank seems to like the idea of having three PGs on the court at once.  Ultimately, he's going to get more ball handling oppurtunities here, than he would at just about any other high major.  If he's unhappy, I don't think it'll be due to lack of oppurtunity.

agree with yosh and trey.  southwell thinks he wants to run point (all players do, i guarantee even colon thinks he's a misunderstood 1), but it will be made obvious to him in practice that his ball handling isn't strong enough to bring the ball up the court full time in the big 12.

everyone says he has above average vision, and if true, i'm sure martin won't hesitate to use him in a point forward role.  he'll eventually be happy to be used as hoskins and wright often were, as the initiators of offense in half court sets.

and i'm sure he'll get to bring the ball up some of time.  hell, martin often had brown running point when sitting clemente and pullen.  and wright brought the ball up plenty for huggins, whenever there was smaller, quick defender that wanted to pressure stewart and wright had a slower guy not suited to defending the ball the length of the court.

Possible fix to your post. :dunno:

I compared Southwell to Lamark because a lot of people want him but only if he'll realize he won't make a good point guard and will play SG kind of like Lamark should be a linebacker but demands to play offense.  But with Lamark we've kept our word pretty well and kept him happy to little avail (I know he did well yesterday, but whatever.)  With Peete we did not keep him happy and he left.  I'm glad our staff is telling Shane more or less straight up that he'd be a combo guard in our system.  I'm not sure if Southwell will be worth having out of position and barely playing, which is what would happen if he were point.  I think Lamark is a more accurate comparo to my overall point which is that we'll be highly disappointed when he never reaches his potential.  But I guess we do need someone and we proabably need to tell them crap they want to hear just like the point you were making about Peete.  But don't you think once we get the kid he'll bail for a WAC team just as fast as peete did when we either don't play him or play him at the 2?

Think he is a winner. Unbelievable on the ball defender. Gave some of the better ball handling point guards in the class fits with his strong and pesky defense. Handles well. Solid decision maker. Occasional scorer. Think he will help a college team win.

Has he been on any officials yet?  Is it just me or has his recruitment been pretty quiet? 

I haven't seen where he has indicated any favorites.

I like traynham.  I don't, however, find him substantially better than Sprads.  In fact, I think I like Sprads a little better.

I saw Spradling play at the AAU tourny in Manhattan over the summer.  I was a bit confused as to why I'm supposed to be excited about his game.  Not saying he's not worth a scholarship, or anything.  Just curious to hear some analysis on this kid.  Anybody seen him play?  What does he bring to the table?

I like to compare him to Traynham, which is who we'd take is we didn't take Sprads.  Sprads has less explosiveness and speed, but more than makes up for it in composure, size, and vision.  A year ago with solid personel surrounding him Traynham looked alright, but he'll try to take the game over too much and he'll get manhandled by big12 guards.  Kid is too tiny.  I feel so much safer with Will.  He makes good decisions, is fundamentally sound and hustles.

as a small forward you dumbasses.  meyer qualified his statement with the position.  southwell is 6'7" and 205, at that size no one would be scoring much in the big 12 from the block.  GMAFB turds.  this kid isn't akeem wright.

They aren't kiddin when they say that they haven't been following the situation.

With Mitchell and Asprillia, this class might actually be as good last years.  Would be amazin' given how it looked most of the summer.  Not going to happen though.

Yeah, I'd say a lot of HS basketball players are pretty thin though.  Still a lot of the anti-strength and conditioning mentality out there in the basketball world, especially at the HS level.  I'm glad Martin and staff don't advocate this.

I don't question Traynham's vision or BBIQ.  I think he and Sprads are pretty comparible in that respect.  I just think Spradling's versitility and shooting, (or more to the point his ability to get his shot off) slightly outweighs Tryanham's quicks.  I think both players are in the 125th to 175th best player range.  I would have been OK with either.  Not sure it makes sense to get both.

would your preference change given a roster that includes a 6'4" combo point in the previous class and a 6'6" point forward in the same class?

Yes. To a degree, the addition of Southwell would make what Sprads brings a little more redundant than what Trayn brings.  Good point.  I also think it's clear that we are prioritizing a high level smallish quick guard for the '11 class.  The aparent lack of a push for Traynham is a little puzzling in that regard.

Top JUCO prospect to visit Canisius

 Freddy Asprilla, a 6-foot-10, 280-pound center who was the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year in 2009, and currently one of the top junior college prospects in the country, will make an official visit to Canisius College, according to Art Alvarez, his AAU coach.

Alvarez, who runs the AAU Miami Tropics program, is trying to set up a visit for Asprilla to Canisius on Oct. 21. He is scheduled to visit Kansas State this weekend and Hofstra on Oct. 23. Asprilla is also being recruited by the likes of Oklahoma and Memphis.

"He will take all five visits before making a decision," Alvarez said.

Alvarez said the Golden Griffins are in the mix because coach Tom Parrotta recently visited Villavicencio, Colombia to speak with Asprilla's parents.

"Tommy has worked the kid real hard," Alvarez said. "He went all the way down to Colombia, which no one has done that."

As an assistant at Hofstra, Parrotta also coached former Tropics guard Carlos Rivera. Another former Tropics guard, Gaby Belardo, who transferred to Canisius from South Florida during the off-season, is a good friend of Asprilla.

Parrotta is also in pursuit of another Tropics player, Angel Rodriguez, a 5-11 junior point guard. Parrotta flew down to Mexico to watch him play for the Puerto Rico National team.

"Tommy works his (butt) off," Alvarez said. "That's what impresses me about Tom Parrotta is his work ethic and he's gone out of his way to recruit this kid who I know he wants very bad. Those are the reasons why we are extending a visit to him."

If Asprilla signs with Canisius, he will be one of the highest-rated players to sign with the Griffs. He signed with Miami (Fla.) out of high school but didn't qualify academically and attended Paterson Prep School in North Carolina for a year before signing with Florida International.

Asprilla averaged 14 points and 9.3 rebounds but decided to transfer after Florida International coach Sergio Rouco was replaced by Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas. FIU, however, refused to release Asprilla from his scholarship and he couldn't transfer immediately to a Division I school. Asprilla is enrolled at two-year Miami Dade College and has two years of Division I eligibility remaining.

Alvarez said that Asprilla could skip college and enter the 2010 NBA draft.

"The kid is a lottery pick," Alvarez said. "I've been telling all the coaches that he can sign with you, but there's an opportunity he could go straight to the pros from junior college. That's how good he is."

Don't worry about it.  Everyone makes mistakes.  I mean, if we're talking "fool's gold", a great shooter makes 2 out of every 5 attempts.  You're more like 19 out of every 20.  Its all good.

Why did you decommit from Kansas State? Did Bob Huggins’ departure have anything to do with that? My Decommitment was my mother’s deciscion. She felt that I rushed into it. When she asked me the question of why I did commit I couldn’t really give her a valid reason. She wanted me to look at other colleges and weigh my options before looking at Kansas State again. And no not really.

Can you give us any hints about your recruitment? I don’t know but a Big 12 school is number one as of now.

I'm ok with him going to a big east school. But if it's a big 12 school other than KSU, Damn.

Bob Huggins? He left like 3 years ago. :lol:

Sprads has less explosiveness and speed, but more than makes up for it in composure, size, and vision. 


I remember thinking that Spradling needs to hit the weights.  He's relatively tall, but seemed pretty thin.  I'm sure Greenawalt will have fun training this kid. 

I dunno bout any of you, but seeing this picture makes me feel better about spradling

Also like that he finally has stars.  No star recruits look bad on a commit list.   :thumbsup:

I'll go one further, and say they tend to limit the programs they recruit and abandon programs if they prove unsuccesful after giving them a concentrated effort.  Notice we recruited Chipola JUCO, Georgia Stars, KC PnR and Florida Rams hard in years past, and have now, seemingly, completed abandoned them.  I bet anything you will be able to add Brandon Bass to that list now.  OTOH, Spiece Mo-Kan, DCA, NY Gouchos & Miami Tropics have become the pipelines.  I think in the long run it could be a good philosophy.  However, the short term, when trying to identify those pipelines, is painful sometimes.

I think its a good way to do things.  For one, we are making relationships with programs that we can get players from in the future, and I think its a very good idea to quit wasting time with programs where we put forth effort, but don't land kids.  Florida Rams being a great example.  As long as you stay fluid with this and continue to build new relationships (like th NY Guachos, fairly new) you are in good shape.  We could go back to some of these other programs in the future if needed, but for now stick with what works.  Its a recruiting strategy that just makes sense and you end up wasting less time with kids that really we have no shot at landing.

with williams, who knows?  obviously, as things turned out, he didn't get eligible.  and there were rumors that the staff felt that the bbe coaches misrepresented his academic status.  but.... they kept recruiting him after they found out he was unlikely to qualify, if not quite so hard, and the mitchell recruitment also continued after those rumors emerged.

just my guess.... i don't think the staff evaluates based on results, rather based on access and honesty.  if they're allowed access to recruits and aren't encouraged to waste their time on a recruit that the aau/hs/juco coach knows is going elsewhere (or isn't going to get eligible), i think they're fine with that program.

If Asprilla doesn't commit by the first week of November will it be time to start worrying? Haven't heard any news in a while ...

If he hasn't committed by 6:47pm on 11/04/09 you should be really worry.  Since you haven't already started and all. 

Dude, if you're totally panicked by 6:47 on 11/04/09, you're either totally clueless or you just have a deathwish.  I plan on freaking the frack out on 11/03/09, just to be safe.

It's in the bag.   Don't sweat it boy.  ;)

We stopped recruiting Mitchell because his mom is a b!tch. We weren't going to get him with his mom in charge of his recruiting. I haven't seen Nino play, but he sounds like a good pick up. sys or yosh would know more about him. Ask them.

obviously.

but the draw it out so that it takes ten seconds to say "duh...lawn....tay..." is kinda floyds signature move. not sure what he'll do if the black basketball coach with a "black name" suddenly isn't around anymore. he'll have to come up w/ new material. maybe will need to hire a staff of writers. dunno.

Also, should we expect a Asprilla to commit somewhere at some point in the next week? If he doesn't is he obligated to wait until the regular signing window in April? Or can he sign to a school at anytime?

Basically, my question is whether or not a juco is bound by the same signing windows as a HS player.

If I had to guess KStateShane will sign on day one.  Sprads definitely will.  High up elite hoops insiders saying Asprilla will not be on day one but expect him at the end of the early period to make his decision (emaw).

I've pretty much always counted on the 2010 class sucking.  It's not going to get better after the season starts and recruits see our bubble NIT performance.  Just hope for a single borderline top 100 and a few three star unranked players at this point.

The class is exactly what we thought it was going to be.  With 'Sprilla this class should be considered a success.  Who knows what happens with the 4th ship.  Could still greatly excede expecations with an elite level late pick-up.  Expectations for '11 are going to be much higher.

i'd almost rather a servicable juco over anything other than a top 50 type for the fourth.

how high can expecations go for the 11s?  williams is already pencilled in, and i'm assuming rodriguez for a 2nd (not getting him would be a mild dissapointment).  i don't think the 3rd 'ship is going to make or break that class.

since you are the bball guru around here. Are you impressed/ok with/pleased/ with what Frank is doing? Obviously he could do better. But just curious what your opinion of him, or the staff, in recruiting is.

not really comfortable with being a guru, too much responsibility.  but i'm pretty happy with their recruiting.  they've made mistakes, obviously, but they've seemed to correct them rapidly (season after).

will say that it would seem to be important to sustain momentum, as mu, and especially isu, are doing decidely better now than a couple years back.

I did not say that it takes skill to post, only that you suck at it.  Of course this class is not as good as last years, however, it also is not as bad as the year before it.  This places it somewhere in the middle of good and suckage.  As sys said it is ok.

why not hit southwell up with a tweet or a pm to let him know your thoughts?  spradling's a little harder to track down, but if you're gentle he'll probably settle in long enough to listen.

or really, anywhere but here.  the recruiting threads are sacrosanct.

Solid class, especially considering the number of guys we brought in last year.  Getting Southwell late really helped salvage things IMO.  Not a great class, but for a tweener class, hard to complain about.  Land Asprilla and it becomes even better.

The class is exactly what we thought it was going to be.  With 'Sprilla this class should be considered a success.  Who knows what happens with the 4th ship.  Could still greatly excede expecations with an elite level late pick-up.  Expectations for '11 are going to be much higher. 

i'd almost rather a servicable juco over anything other than a top 50 type for the fourth.

how high can expecations go for the 11s?  williams is already pencilled in, and i'm assuming rodriguez for a 2nd (not getting him would be a mild dissapointment).  i don't think the 3rd 'ship is going to make or break that class.

We agree on the JUCO thing.  Though I wouldn't shun a Clemente or Kelly type of D1 transfer either.  

A lot can happen in a year.  As the season unfolds, I think our brand is going to gain some steam. I expect a better 11 class than 10.  I also expect both Williams and Rodriguez to "blow up" to some degree, though I'm not yet convinced we will sign either...and I don't agree that one player can't make the class.  Even adding Mitchell to this year's class would have changed it drastically from a national perception standpoint.  I'll be pretty disappointed without at least a couple of four star guys in this class.   :users:

then you have to choose an option - could use the last ship on another top juco (Terrence Boyd??), a true DITR HS'er or roll it over to 2011 where we could get Rodriguez, Williams, a PF and then another guard (Boatright, Cook, more wishful thinking)

rodriguez has been the best in his class in pr for the last 2 years.  pr seems to produce about 1 high major "star" per year.  ergo.

williams i'm not quite as convinced.  but from his mhk classic film, i thought he had a chance, especially if he grows a little.

honestly, no one but bossi sees younger kc area recruits, so it isn't like the natl scouts have seen him and deemed him unworthy.

Why do you think I'm unhappy?  I just don't see them blowing up in the scout/rivals rankings after the summer you ironically dismiss.  They can be fine players, even at the Big 12 level.

For Nino, I don't think he'll climb in the rankings because he's a 6-5 PF and probably won't grow.  Those just rarely climb up the rankings late.  For Rodriguez, it has everything to do with Alt Arvarez's ridiculous hyping of recruits that end up going to FIU or UCF or something.

I'm not saying they I think they will become top 20 players like Kadji or Mitchell did, but obviously Angel isn't going to be a zero star.  He is currently unranked by nationals, but locals, who have seen him play, rated him right along side guys that are currently top 100 players.

Williams is a little more questionable, but he'll be the best SR in Kansas, and more often than not the best SR in Kansas is a 4-star.

honestly, mu seems like a perfect fit for mitchell.  they're about the only team i can think of with a penchant for running their offense through jump shooting bigs on the perimeter.  from what mitchell has said, that's exactly how he views himself (and is great prep for transitioning to being a 3 in the nba, if he has that kind of potential).

better fit for him than ksu, imo.

I have heard it from at least two separate places that have appeared to come from completely different sources.  I posted about this months back, about how the media is sleep-walking on this thing.  I'd at least hope that some ku media types would start snooping into this.

The only rule against it is when you transfer directly from one Big 12 team to another...then you LOSE a year of eligibility (e.g. Luke Axdell sp?).  Hitting a juco for a year clears that up.

Good point.  His JUCO coach said during his recruitment that he's have to sit out an extra year b/c of a league rule, but Hart didn't have to.  Maybe it has something to do with whether or not you were released from you scholarship.  :dunno:

Pretty sure if you want to transfer from one big 12 school to another you have to sit out 2 years rather than the one you would have to sit out from other D1s.  If you go JUCO for one year, like Maize, you still have another year to sit.  Perhaps Hart played two years of JUCO, therefore he didn't need to sit at all.  Don't really remember Hart's situation.  Either way, I'm sure Graham can't/won't go big 12.  Perhaps we can recruit McDonald?  Football team recruits Blinn heavily.   :dunno:

Yeah, looks like Hart must have redshirted his first year at JUCO in Fort Smith b/c in Hart's bio his FR year at K-State it looks like he only played one year of JUCO.  Plus, another interesting Hart connection...

no idea who they are looking at.  there are some good hs players left, but there is no indication that kstate is recruiting any of them.  i'm a little surprised there are no rumblings with byron allen, but there don't seem to be.

i'd guess juco or a transfer, but that's just a complete guess, i haven't seen anything.

You would think they could get fairly elite transfers based on their success w/ Clemente and Kelly, and the fact that they've actively built relationships w/ a lot of pretty good players that they missed out on.  I can see the staff becoming somewhat OSU-under-sutton-ish in that respect.

I'm gonna guess it will be some random juco 6-6 G/F, that is suspect offensively, but a tenacious defender.  I know, that's an obvious prediction too.

John Wilkins – Wilkins is a 6-foot-9, 215-pound post out of Southeastern Community College in West Burlington, Iowa. One giant plus about this prospect is that he would have three years of eligibility at the next level. He is a freshman right now. Wilkins is originally from France. He attended high school in Gary, Ind. for a time and committed to Bradley out of high school. After going the JUCO route, Wilkins is gathering all sorts of high-major attention, specifically from Iowa State, Tennessee, Kansas State and Indiana. Daniyal Robinson is Wilkins’ primary recruiter.

I just think the 2 guys they have coming in won't be any good at scoring/ball handling.  Would like a good juco PG.  Did you catch Darius Johnson-Odom playing for marquette?  I like watching that team play, and really like Buzz.

i'm pretty comfortable with pullen as the 2010-11 pg and russell, southwell and spradling getting backup and combo minutes.

i'm not sure that taking a juco pg would jepardize chances with an upper echelon 2011 pg, but it would, at the least, be a lot of 'ships to devote to 1s and combos.


personally, i'd rather get a juco shooter with a little size.

Really don't understand recruiting another JUCO big.  If were serious about him, which I doubt, I'd be concerned about Asprillia's eligibility.  Anyone know if he's playing at Dade yet?

Love the idea of a JUCO atheletic 2/3 shooter.  I like the kid from Blinn, but I have no idea if we'll get involved.  Feel more comfortable with Russell as the back-up PG than I would anyone in the JUCO ranks.  WIsh he'd get out of the doghouse and get some game experience though.

What possible eligibility issues would keep him from playing at a juco after he's already played D1 ball?  Amateur status issues?  Haven't heard a single thing that would make anybody worry about that.

Amateur status issues?

yes.  and the reason to think it is that he hasn't played.  same with colon.



re. asprilla.  i can't find anything definitive, but if he's played, he hasn't been a top scorer (sometimes 2 listed, sometimes 3) in any of the miami-dade games.  i'd assume he hasn't played.

Tony Mitchell, F, Pinkston- 30 points, 11 rebounds, nine blocks and four assists don’t even begin to tell the story of how dominant Mitchell was. He held his own personal dunk contest around the rim, shared the ball, and stroked a trio of NBA range threes because, well, he can. Missouri’s Mike Anderson has to be salivating over the thought of placing Mitchell into his high octane system. Most impressive was how economical he was in racking up his numbers. Mitchell just needed 13 shots from the floor to do his damage.

more good press for mitchell (free).


Quote
At 6 feet 8 and 220 pounds, Mitchell is a high-level, NBA-type athlete who has the potential to be a go-to wing scorer.

Presently, Mitchell has a game that is rough around the edges. There are occasional mental lapses along with turnovers and bad shots. But when you cut through the mistakes, you have a prospect with incredible long-term potential.

Could Mitchell creep into the top 10 in the final Rivals150 in the spring and overtake fellow small forward Jelan Kendrick? Yes. It is a distinct possibility considering how fast Mitchell's game is progressing.

Does he catch the No. 1 wing prospect in the country, Harrison Barnes? No. Mitchell might have a dose of athleticism that Barnes doesn't possess, but other than that, Barnes' game is much more advanced. Nonetheless, if one day Mitchell is putting up better numbers than Barnes in the NBA, I wouldn't be surprised.

from a kstate fan perspective, i think it'd be nice to have him redshirt.  i don't think he's going to be a significantly better player for playing vs just practicing though his soph year at juco.

oth, if the redshirt is imposed against his will due to some eligibility question...  i'd rather have the peace of mind of knowing that whatever issue may or may not have existed is over with and won't impact his time at kstate.

Seems like the younger Hannah brother missed a few games early this season due to some amateur status issues incurred after his transfer to WSU.  Maybe it was a similar situation to Spri's, thus the similarly short ineligibility period.  I understand there is a significant amount of paperwork that has to be filed and processed for a transfer to be handled fully.  Maybe the short amount of time between his final decision to attend Dade and the beginning of the season caused some problems?  Regardless, I'm glad to see him playing.   :hope:  Puts my mind at ease a bit more.

I don't think its a bad thing and it was the plan all along.  Agree with sys, this means that paperwork/etc. are in the clear and he shouldn't have any problems getting to Manhattan.  Plus, I think I'd probably rather have him play at Dade than redshirt there.  If a redshirt was a possibility, it would have probably been in Manhattan.

Will be interesting to see where Jio Fontan ends up. Really unclear right now. A lot of schools are involved with the Fordham transfer.... Alabama, Kansas State, Maryland, Miami, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, and USC are all in the picture for Fontan.

Former Fordham guard Jio Fontan plans to visit Alabama after he trips to USC and Tennessee.

The 6-foot-1 Fontan leaves Friday for USC and will see the Tennessee-USC game Saturday.

He goes to Tennessee Tuesday and will visit Alabama sometime before the New Year.

“I spoke with Coach [Anthony] Grant in Alabama,” said Jorge Fontan, Jio’s dad. “We’re probably going to visit them after Tennessee and after Christmas. They have a game on the 30th [against Tennessee State].”

Alabama point guard MikhailTorrance is a senior and Grant told Fontan he needs another floor general for next year. Jio becomes eligible in December 2010 after sitting out a year.

“He said he needs a skillful point guard that has a high IQ,” Jorge said. “Alabama has a bunch of athletes but he needs a point guard who can help that whole situation out and come in and be an impact player right away. The way the system is and the way Jio is, he would be a good fit for that situation,” Jorge said.

A Paterson, N.J. native, Fontan departed Fordham after deciding it was no longer the right fit. He was the team’s leading scorer (15.3 ppg) and leader in assists (132) as a freshman.

He has visited Miami and will hit USC, Tennessee and Alabama. Jorge said they are uncertain where they would take another visit.

“I don’t know who the fifth visit will be,” Jorge said.

Kid has a 46-inch vertical leap. Kid would be an absolute stud in Martin's system. Another inch or so and he would have great size for a shooting guard. Kid has a nice stroke and is very strong. Would be a nice get.

More information on Dunson. He definitely sounds like a Martin player (except he can shoot!). 

http://midstatehoops.com/v5/index.php?s=dunson

Brandon Dunson 6’3” 180 lbs PG Wabash Valley
Stats: 12 ppg, 4 apg, 4 rpg, 53% FG
Considering: Kansas State, Nevada, UCLA, Valparaiso
Notes: Dunson has improved steadily over the course of the season making the transition from the wing to the point. One of the nation’s quickest and fastest guards, he’s an explosive athlete that is very good at creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. On top of that he nearly always controls the pace of the game. The lefty can also score the ball, shooting 40% from 3 and 53% from the field. Defensively Dunson is a ball hawk that always guards the opposition’s biggest offensive threat and his 46 inch vertical leap helps him to be a factor on the glass. His most underrated asset may be his leadership ability as he is a coach on the floor.

From that garish description he sounds like every coach in the world's type player.  Read the rest of the bios on that link.  It seems there are about 12 NBA HOF talents in the juco ranks this year (interestingly, Wabash and Highland have three each!)

Because I don't think we need a juco kid who likely won't play more than 2 minutes per game and just xfer after his first season possibly &@#%ing up our APR.

I'd rather give it to a 5 star player that's going to &@#% up our APR.

Yet you think a 6'3" 180 lb white kid from Wamego would be a better fit?  You are one stupid son of a bitch.   Sprads is a nice player.  Will be nice to have a true pg when he gets here.  And he shoots well from the arc.   Plus, making ties with Spiece could really pay big dividends down the road.

Right, not much difference physically, and they are two completely different players. I was asking how he fits in apart from mentioning Lindhorst because, again, they are two completely different players. Spradling is impressive. Lindhorst can do damage as well.

Possible Transfer?

From an article today on Madison.com:

The father of Jeronne Maymon, who abruptly left the Marquette men's basketball program last month, said the former Madison Memorial star is nearing a decision on where he will transfer.

Tim Maymon said Wednesday morning his son likely will make his decision by Sunday. A source close to the Memorial program said Jeronne Maymon is headed to Tennessee, but his father said that's not necessarily the case.

"Tennessee is still involved," Tim Maymon said, "but it's not a guarantee."

According to his father, Jeronne Maymon is deciding from a list of schools that also includes Arkansas, Kansas State and UCLA.

Marquette coach Buzz Williams announced Dec. 14 that Jeronne Maymon had left the Golden Eagles roughly one-third of the way through his freshman season. The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 4.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 16.3 minutes in nine games off the bench for Marquette.

Jeronne Maymon has yet to speak publicly about his decision to transfer. Tim Maymon has said his son, a two-time Associated Press Player of the Year who helped Memorial win a WIAA Division 1 state title last season as a senior, wasn't happy with how he was being used in Marquette's system.

Tim Maymon, who was scheduled to speak with representatives from Arkansas and UCLA on Wednesday, said he's trying to help his son find a program where he'll be happy.

"We'll discuss what are their plans for Jeronne," Tim Maymon said. "We're not doing another Buzz issue. The whole problem with the whole Buzz situation was he didn't want Jeronne to out-do anybody on that team until his sophomore year. And that shouldn't matter - if he's going to help you, he's going to help you.

"They didn't want to play the game right, so now we're going to watch them lose every game. That's just how it works.

"You don't bring a kid in and not use him the way he's supposed to be used. So this kid has left the state of Wisconsin as one of the premier players in the state. "

this isn't pessimism, it's just matter-of-fact-ism.  Frank has run some pretty damn good offenses without many good perimeter shooters, and Dom is showing on an individual level what you can get out of an athletic G/F with zero jump shot.

I would like to see more shooters, and have really been critical of this in the past, but I see what Frank's doing now and can laugh about having a roster full of Akeem Wright's without being upset about it.

I have several Marquette grad family members so I only strongly dislike them.  I went to the same HS as this kid only a long time ago, but I know enough about the situation to send out the warning.  Badgers had no interest in this hometown kid even though his dad "works" for the athletic department.  Marquette had no interest in him either until Crean left for Indiana.  People warned the new coach at Marquette he was playing with fire when he brought this kid and his Daditude in and he got burned.  Its not that the kid is bad or isn't talented the dad is just the worst form of stage dad you can be.  There are way too many we's when he gets interviewed, the kid needs to get away from him so maybe Kstate is far enough away but I doubt it. My sister in law is a Kstate grad and when I first met her she said she was from Manhattan I was happy it was the good one.Good Luck

Pretty sure he's planning to come this semester.  It wouldn't make sense for him to stay at Marquette now.  Then he could play in January next season.

not really anything like either clemente or kelly's situation.  those were normal transfers driven by being kicked off the team and not getting any minutes.

this dude quit on his team (good team, generally popular coach) after one semester while getting plenty of playing time.

i've also heard that the father doesn't necc. speak for his kid as much as is it might seem from the media.  if that weren't true, i'd see absolutely no reason to bring maymon in.


probably overrated as a hs recruit as well.  unathletic tweener forward.  could develop, but not an immediate impact guy.  would have been better off just keeping anderson.

I don't think the issue is playing time.  His frustration stemmed from not playing his normal position.  He is supposed to play small forward and was asked to play power forward to center.  Can't blame MU for trying to find bodies to patch up some holes, but it's got to be difficult for a kid to accept playing against his skill set. 

If the kids father agrees to stay out of Manhattan; it's doable.  But if the father and kid want to go one and done; we're not the right fit.  He's going to be competing against Dom and Jamar in their senior seasons and I don't see Frank going away from veteran leadership.  If he wants to take a year to learn what it takes to be on this team and play few minutes; he could be a great fit.

If he would have stuck with Marquette and gained big east experience this year he would have started next year when all big east forward Hayward graduated.  His dad has been talking 1 and done for years so he can be all aboard the gravy train but with his size he needs to develop skills that set him apart from other tweeners that are a dime a dozen these days.  His Dad thinks he's Lebron but having watched him play for many years he is not a point forward or sg and doesn't have the handles yet to run an offense or have the offense run through him like his dad says should happen.

I tend to lean towards agreeing w sys on this one.  This kid screams out Micah Downs to me.  (The meddlesome parent thing, not the go to 6 different school thing.)  I told the ku people I know that Downs was gonna be a nightmare and I was right.  

I am not the one recruiting him and have never seen him play though.  If the coaches feel like he is a good fit then I am fine with their decision.

If I'm Buzz Williams you must be Roy Williams.  Buzz took one of of our verbals for next year named Vander Blue who was a HS teammate of Maymon.  Maymons dad seems to have a little control over this kid too,  but after Blue signed his LOI Jeronne quit. (nice)  So the Badgers lost out on hometown kid Blue to Buzz and co. but that's the way it goes.  All I'm trying to do is give a heads up on what could happen if you get him.  I offered Buzz a free fire extinguisher because I knew he would get burned.

No doubt there could be issues.  

But I also think there are some coaches that are good at getting in transfers and getting them bought in.  Frank seems to be one of those.  Plus, transfers have a little more incentive to try to buy in b/c their next option is going to probably be D2 basketball.  So I think if the coaches want Maymon I'm all for it, plus at last on paper he looks like the type of kid Frank loves to have on his team, all Maymon has to do is look at how Dominique Sutton is used here and see if he wants to have that role.

Maymon visiting today. (http://host.madison.com/sports/columnists/dennis_semrau/article_4b6aa1a2-fe45-11de-8c31-001cc4c03286.html)

fits the Sutton mold. 

is he looking to transfer and be here this semester ready to play next year?  or come in next Jan?

Pretty sure he's planning to come this semester.  It wouldn't make sense for him to stay at Marquette now.  Then he could play in January next season.

Doesn't the semester start this week?

Yep, his dad said he wants to commit this week though.  He can get a late start on the semester and still squeeze the classes in.  There are always late starting and intersession classes that can get the job done.

all Maymon has to do is look at how Dominique Sutton is used here and see if he wants to have that role.

Samuels is a great example, too.  He's been encouraged to develop his perimeter skills and has improved quite a bit as a result.

I mean, this guy sounds as Frank Martin-ish (at least on offense) as it gets:

Quote
Maymon is strong, athletic and always plays in attack mode. This physical combination forward finishes above the rim with power in transition. He uses his body well to drive by defenders to score mostly going to his right to get to the rim. Maymon also shoots the mid range...

If I'm Buzz Williams you must be Roy Williams.  Buzz took one of of our verbals for next year named Vander Blue who was a HS teammate of Maymon.  Maymons dad seems to have a little control over this kid too,  but after Blue signed his LOI Jeronne quit. (nice)  So the Badgers lost out on hometown kid Blue to Buzz and co. but that's the way it goes.  All I'm trying to do is give a heads up on what could happen if you get him.  I offered Buzz a free fire extinguisher because I knew he would get burned.

Ha, I know.  I enjoy your input in this thread btw.  OT-Your coach looks like a 2 pack-a-day crazy uncle of mine. 

And that's when he's in a good mood.  Bo Ryan can flat out coach and he will need to do his best now that our pf Leuer snapped his wrist when the Badgers decided to bring Purdue back to earth a little bit last week.  You guys are having a great season so far I hope to see you guys give the other Kansas team a butt whuppin.

Yeah, there is no doubt by looking at Sutton/Samuels that if you develop part of your game, Frank is more than willing to let you use it; see Sam behind the arc or Sutton off the bounce.  As long as you play defense.

I have several Marquette grad family members so I only strongly dislike them.  I went to the same HS as this kid only a long time ago, but I know enough about the situation to send out the warning.  Badgers had no interest in this hometown kid even though his dad "works" for the athletic department.  Marquette had no interest in him either until Crean left for Indiana.  People warned the new coach at Marquette he was playing with fire when he brought this kid and his Daditude in and he got burned.  Its not that the kid is bad or isn't talented the dad is just the worst form of stage dad you can be.  There are way too many we's when he gets interviewed, the kid needs to get away from him so maybe Kstate is far enough away but I doubt it. My sister in law is a Kstate grad and when I first met her she said she was from Manhattan I was happy it was the good one.Good Luck

Hey, remember when you guys ended our one and done season with Beasley? Yeah, I didn't forget...

We are still big and pasty but we have a kid that has a classic fresh prince flattop.  I thought Beasley was going to kick our butt by himself, we had a guard Hughes step up and score a bunch and that saved us.  He's a senior now and is our best player.  That one and done stuff can be the devil sometimes  the badgers don't have to worry about that because nobody that good wants to come here and play defense first hoops.  Kick some aTm butt

I would say K-State/Martin has developed a "defense first" rep as well.  Jay Bilas says we play harder on defense than anyone in the country. 

Its just Martin has a very different philosophy on offense and gives a bit more freedom.  Plus, he's looking to get way more possessions in the game than Ryan.

I think we get about 64 or so pos per game and score 1.12 point per pos. I know we hold other teams in conf. to .89ppp which isn't bad.  We don't have too many turnovers and make the other team play d for at least 20 seconds which is boring to some but watching the other team get tired of chasing through pasty picks  only to have a guy hit a wide open three is a thing of beauty to me.  I have to coach hockey tonight but I'll dvr the game a pop open a cold one and watch some good d later. Good luck!

clemente and kelly didn't quit after 10 games.  that is a bizarre/stupid decision that speaks to either being stupid, selfish or uncompetitive.


that aside, kelly's laziness might be worth the risk because of his upside (too early to tell really).  clemente's situ doesn't compare.  he smokes, bfd.  no on-court risk, plus he was a proven high-major contributor.

maymon has done nothing to indicate he's worth the risk.  lol @ comparing him to sutton/samuels.  he isn't that kind of player at all.  not athletic, not a defender.  he's an undersized, skilled, strong post scorer, working on a jumpshot.  that might be valuable to some teams, but it doesn't translate to a top 50 recruit.  he should have been about 50 spots lower.  i don't think he's worth the risk/trouble.

and i love transfers in the abstract.

Don't give a sh8t about "issues" he might have, but where do you get that he isn't "athletic"?  Even if he's a borderline top 100, all the eval's point to him being a Frank Martin type of player, and worthy of a scholarship, especially if we can get 3-1/2 years out of him.

I'd guess our interest would be above medium.  Bringing him in now means we'd offer and try to get him in now so he can start practicing with us now and be elgible next January.  I think if you can do that with a Top 100 HS kid and knowing Frank's history with transfers, its a somewhat high priority.  The good thing if he decides not to come, it doesn't really hurt us and we can still look for someone and sign them in April.

yep, nothing frank loves more than 6-5 guards w/ decent handles and poor jump shots.  (FWIW, I've stopped looking at this as a nancy neg).

Tony Smith, SG/PG, Seward County- Based on what we saw during the Jayhawk Shootout, the 6-foot-4 combo guard from Greenville, N.C. gets our vote as best prospect at the event. A tall ball handler, he’s an exceptional passer who can also give you some scoring punch. Plays both ends and gets to the free throw line

the best thing for him would be to go somewhere far enough away that he could leave his mistakes behind him...  if he went to kstate or uk he'd get himself into real trouble and never really contribute.

And Pullen wasn't really a point guard - Frank made him servicable as one. I think his size is a problem more than anything

Sans Denis, do you think Frank would have played Pullen primarily at the point or used someone else?  I think he does fine at the point, but I do like him at the 2 better.

this is likely, especially on a major conference level; but i dont think he ever starts on a good valley, mac, or a10 team either.

Just curious if you think Pullen would have been a full time PG if we didn't have Denis to play there.  Seems like whether or not he played the 1 or 2 would make a difference.  :dunno:

Scout.com's Eric Bossi on Rico:

"I've known Rico since he was between the 8th and 9th grade and have been watching him play forever. He had a chance to go down as one of the most decorated, if not the most, decorated Kansas high school player of all time. He had his mis-steps at home and I'm glad to see him getting his life back in order. He's always been a wonderful kid to be around but has found himself around trouble and unable to resist saying no. I do believe that around good people he will be fine. I love the kid to death.

What is interesting is that at his old high school and during summer ball he has played almost exclusively off the ball as a shooting guard. Excellent shooter who hits lots of big shots. Relatively strong kid but not a particularly great athlete. He's certainly not one of those little guards who plays above the rim. If he's really playing as a full time point guard now, that's a pretty significant development in his game.

Had no offers before leaving Topeka. I know KSU is interested, but I do not believe that they have actually offered yet. I've been getting lots of calls from college coaches looking to dig into his background."

Will Spradling will be playing here in Emporia tomorrow at 4:45, so I should have a write up following the game. Hope to have an update on how he did, and hope to get a few minutes with him after the game. Will let you all know a little bit later.
