2013 Recruiting Thread

if he can shoot 40+% from 3 at 6'6, will take. but it's going to take a bit for me to get over that highlight vid. 

I've seen a lot of dumb comparisons.  I will make one that I don't think is dumb:

Would take, so rough ridin' hard.

From Bossi:

Whoever did that should not have been messing with  player's profile and deciding on those things without running it up the chain of command. But I digress.

This kid is exactly what he is, a bubble mid/high major prospect and likely role player. He's very tough, definitely plays in attack mode and has a reasonable set of skills. He did play with the Compton Magic but was playing for one of their several teams, wasn't playing with their main "elite" team.

Lower end to mid level three-star prospect. There aren't a lot of available guys left out there for 2013 so it's a given that pretty much anybody getting signed at any level right now could be a bit of a reach. I don't think it's unreasonable to hope he can turn into a decent role player with time, but I think it's tough to expect much more than that.

As an aside, anybody who gets to sit next to his family during a game is in for a show. Got to sit next to them at a few games in Vegas in April and they are maybe the most intense family I've ever seen. Lots of screaming, swearing and commentary in a foreign language. Very entertaining and they are into supporting their boy.

yes, bossi was commenting on why the ryan wallace's of the world shouldn't be able to edit the rivals database stuff.

yahoo!/rivals is not dumb.  Their model is predicated on the fact that they own a chunk for hundreds of little propaganda machines.

[kostakio]

So this kid wasn't good enough to play on the elite team of his own AAU club?  If that is the case he probably wasn't even playing against top level competition. 

Still love hearing the stuff about his Armenian family though.  Gotta love the intensity and toughness they're going to bring to the fan base. 

[Panjandrum]

I'm setting the over/under of this kid being on the team in July of next year at 10%.

That sounds about right. When the pro money comes calling, Krap will no doubt listen, but I think the power of EMAW will bring him back one time in ten.

I'll post this here as well:

Mr. Bossi, as you know player talent and skill level is not static. How do you
measure "heart", determination and potential to improve your game while
gaining physical strength? You don't. I like this kid and I think he will be a
real diamond in the you know what.

can we get excited about this at least?

Our fans are like hoarders.  Hoarders of shitty players.  When you confront them on the fact that they are hoarding a bunch of trash, they grab the nearest one hold it up and demand that it is valuable and worth holding on to.

a real diamond in the you know what.

that's one of the greatest phrases ever typed.

['taterblast]

he must have a real weird/perverted understanding of what 'rough' is

Maybe it is him saying that the kid may end up being a diamond but we will have to go through a ton of crap to get him to play like it?

cns, it is very hard for the "traditional" talent evaluators to evaluate heart, determination and potential from watching a weekend aau tournament.  those kind of qualities are usually only revealed in two minute highlight clips of weekend aau tournament play.

He fits the geriatric sexual predator persona that is WS

do they really have an "outstanding" rating?  that's outstanding.   for those of you who give GPC/rivals a hard time, the last two pages of this thread should give you a reason to check yourself before you wreck yourself. 


also, isn't KSWildcat11 that dude that used  to post here?  old balls guy -v weird and creepy.  didn't fit in.  russian mail order bride.

For some reason our fans like shitty basketball in general and go to great lengths to defend it.  See the Wooldridge era.

Yep.  That's him. 

I hope it works out for those two.   Sometimes those mail order brides can be a pain in the you know what.

I am hoping like hell that Jack is a Muslim Armenian.   

[O-town Kat]

Yeah get the family to post here.  See how Lance Harris is doing and stuff.
