No matter how valid the comment is...how long before we can say that to ourselves in our head? This comment has become like the 'first' of early recruiting threads.

Clayton Custer, PG, MoKan Elite- MoKan featured a pretty balanced attack during their opening session win against the Running Rebels from Milwaukee. A big part of MoKan's balance and success could be attributed to the point guard play of Custer. A class of 2014 floor general, he made good decisions, knocked home a few shots and steadily ran the show during his debut on the 17U level. He can get flustered a bit and is playing against a new level of athleticism so this weekend is a good test for him.

The Green Hornet
01/16/2011

The Green Hornet is a remade sci-fi series from the 1930's about two guys fighting crime in a pimped out car. The 2011 Green Hornet is an action packed comedy starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, and Cameron Diaz. Seth Rogen stars as a funny character who seems to never be able to grow up. Seth’s character Britt and his partner Kato (Jay Chou) build a car called The Black Beauty. Using The Black Beauty Britt and Kato go on adventures to take down bad guys but before they know it, everything starts to get out of hand. Without Seth Rogen's sense of humor, stupidity, and lack of combat skills this movie would not be as entertaining as it was, and Jay chou's slow motion martial art scenes were perfection. We feel this movie was extremely funny and full of action, there was never a boring moment. This is a good movie to watch with family and friends. I would give this movie a 4.0 out of 5. 

does seem pretty awesome though.

Custer stuff from Battle for the Arch that took place a couple weekends back:

"Clayton Custer, PG, Mokan 17’s – In an 8 a.m. contest with Athletes First, Custer made a huge difference getting Mokan a lead that they ultimately held for the rest of the game. Confident with the ball in his hands, Custer is at his best in the open floor, where his vision and ability to get passes to teammates sets him apart from other young point guards. He simply makes baskets for his teammates a lot easier and that is hard to overlook."

Darius Austin – Shooting Guard , Cahokia (SW Illinois Jets)

Austin wasn’t the team’s full time point guard, but he showed the ability to handle the ball near mid-court when faced with defensive pressure. Also, he was often able to penetrate the defense and get to the basket.

One of the things about Austin that stood out the most was his movement without the basketball. He was able to sneak in behind the defense on a couple of occasions and get the easy basket near the hoop. His jump shot shows good form, and he will take the shot if open. But he seems more natural when driving to the basket.

On the defensive end, Austin used his length to frustrate opposing guards and showed off his leaping ability by skying for a few high rebounds.

Clay Custer (Overland Park, Mo./Blue Valley Northwest)
2014, PG, 6-0, 160 pounds
Custer is a true point guard with a terrific handle. He does a good job delivering the advance pass on time and on target. He also did a nice job running the team and setting the offense, where he looked to attack. Custer hit open shots with range to the arc in space, and came off screens, knifing through the defense for a layup. Custer has an excellent floor game, court presence and basketball IQ for such a young player. He has Kansas State, Houston, Ohio, Wichita State, Missouri and Arizona on him early.

Glenn Robinson (St. John, Ind./Lake Central)
2012, SG/SF, 6-6, 185 pounds
College: Michigan
Robinson has continued to improve and was as aggressive as we have seen him. He attacked the rim in transition and along the baseline, often finishing above the rim. Robinson drew some tough fouls but kept attacking in a game which showed his competitiveness and toughness. Robinson shot over small defenders and also did a pretty good job getting to the offensive glass. The future Wolverine is a fun and exciting wing player to watch compete, especially when he is in full attack mode.

A long and athletic 6-foot-8 combo forward who attends prep school in Connecticut, McCullough looks as if he could be one of the biggest finds of the early evaluation period.

Random Oklahoma kids play really well together and shot the eff out of the ball.  Mo-Kan was up 10-2 or some crap early, I guess they got lazy.  Oklahoma kids started making it rain from deep and jumped up to a double digit lead and held on to that till about 5 minute mark when Mo-Kan woke back up.

To be fair random Oklahoma kids likely do have 4-5 low major kids, Arkansas Little Rock, Oral Roberts, Western Illinois types,  maybe even some Patriot League types.  Heck might even have one jump to good mid major like Missouri State or Wichita St types.

6'6" wing Darius Austin from Cahokia, IL (and the SW IL Jets) lists KSU interest. I believe he was planning to visit KSU along with Malcolm Hill and a couple of his Jet teammates but that was before Hill committed to Illinois but update does not mention potential KSU visit at this time:

"I added Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Xavier, and Ohio State to my recruiting list," Austin said. "So far I have offers from St. Louis University and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville."

From Snow's Scout report on 9/21:

"Schools such as Illinois, DePaul, Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, Ohio State, and others have all offered Okafor, with
Kansas State joining in the part over the weekend."

http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1109111.html


Whenever the offer was officially made, the kid is definitely worthy. It's probably also notable that Okafor is the AAU teammate of Marquise Pryor(Mac Irvin Fire), a PF prospect we're recruiting in the '13 Class, Pryor goes to Chicago Orr HS.

Okafor update from AZ Scout site, no mention of KSU Cats:

"After his unofficial visit to Arizona, the number two prospect in the class of 2014, according to Scout.com, took a visit to Ohio State and is not done this season.

He says he is just getting familiar with a lot of different schools and is still very wide open at this point. In fact, he just visited a major program this past weekend and expects to see more in the next month.

“I just visited Duke, which was a good trip and we play in Kentucky, so I will visit Kentucky’s campus when I get there,” explained Okafor. “We also play in Louisville, so I will use that time to see the campus as well.”

It will be an advantage for Okafor to unofficially visit many big name schools now as he can see what he really likes in certain schools early. He doesn’t plan on making a decision until his senior year of high school, but is on the path to really be able to pick from any school that he wants."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Around Kansas City, there's not a more anticipated yearly event than the Hy-Vee Shootout presented by Metro Sports. Pitting teams from the Kansas side against those from the Missouri side of the metro, it's a fight for state bragging rights and a big stage for players to launch their reputation to the next level. That's exactly what sophomore Clayton Custer did on Saturday.

  
 
Clayton Custer is an impressive sophomore.
Custer makes stand

The 2011 Hy-Vee Shootout wasn't Clayton Custer's first appearance in the event. The six-foot tall point guard was impressive last year as a freshman. However, his Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley Northwest team was loaded with solid seniors helping to take the pressure off of him.

This year as a sophomore, though, the team is all Custer's and he was clearly embracing the role as he led his team to a 64-50 win over Grandview (Mo.) High.

"Last year we had a lot of talented older players," Custer told Rivals.com. "This year, I need to do a little more. Whatever I need to do. If that means going and getting a bucket or making a play for somebody that's what I'm looking to do."

On Saturday, Custer did all of that. Offensively, he's developing an extra gear off the dribble that he uses to lose defenders and get where he wants to be. His pull-up jumper is a major weapon and pretty much automatic from anywhere between 12 and 17 feet and he distributes the ball with efficiency.

"I've been in the gym getting up a bunch of shots," said Custer after scoring 16 points and dishing out four assists. "I'm working on getting my shot more fluid. I feel like for me to be as good a player as I can be I need to be able to make every shot. I want people to think it's going in every time I shoot it."

College programs have certainly taken notice. On Saturday, Custer was watched by assistants from Kansas State and San Francisco and both schools have offered. Additional offers have come from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Houston while Kansas, Boston College and Illinois have all been in to see him and are keeping tabs.

According to Custer he's already tripped to Kansas State, Kansas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and he'll be looking to hit some college games this winter. But, he's in no rush with his recruitment and is just focusing on his game.

"I feel like some kids kind of stop working hard when they start getting offers," said Custer. "For me, the attention just drives me to get even better. People are expecting a lot from me when they come to see me now.

Custer was the best player on the floor. Handled the ball well, good on the ball defender, great mid range jumper. Only saw him attempt one three and miss. Think he waxs perfect from the line. Probably had 25. Looked very quick and they could not trap him. Listed at 6 ft. Not afraid to take it in the lane and finish. Underwood was there also. Not sure how hard we are recruiting him, but looks like a player. BVNW won going away.

Cauly has work to do to play at UK or anywhere else. Potential is there.

Title: Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread
Post by: PowercatPat on February 18, 2012, 10:35:50 AM
I watched Custer again on Tuesday night and once again, he wasn't dominant by any means. He is still small and flops every time he drives the ball. In the two games I have watched him this year, he has not made one outside shot, as all of his points have come within 12 feet of the basket. The game was tied at the end of regulation with 3.5 seconds left and Custer was at the line for 2. He missed the first free throw and then with the gym going crazy, he fracking airballed the second free throw.

He is still only a sophomore and has potential, but he needs to grow a little and get bigger. He is 5'10" at the very most right now and probably around 160 lbs.

Good find WW, looks like he's Class of '13(a JR this year), his HS's nickname is the Townies  :lol:, sounds like a versatile, athletic, blue collar wing, vid and scouting report stuff below:

May 2011
"We First got a look at 2013 Sophmore Tyrese Hoxter this year playing for a very talented Charlestown Highschoool basketaball team. A very scrappy 6'4 cleanup power forward who was a great rebounder, shot blocker and finisher for the townies. Now playing with a talented 10th grade BABC team with legitimate bigs he is pushed more to his natural college swing man position and showed skills we didn't know he possessed.This increase freedom at the guard position should pay divends for the rising junior.

Tyrese Hoxter

?Ability To Finish above the the rim with either hand.
?Good enough ball handling skills and body control to start and finish a fast break.
?High post moves drop steps and spins in the paint.
?Great on ball defense against taller or shorter opponents even in the open court.
?Excellent Anticipation skills for stealing the ball or getting to rebounds.

http://ballastv.com/profiles/blogs/hoxteradams-amp-pettway-names


Nov 2011
"Tyrese Hoxter (Charlestown) – Hoxter led the way for the Townies with 16 points. He stepped in as the point guard for Fernandez and did a formidable job. He got the ball to his teammates, while still doing what he does best: slashing to the hoop. What makes Hoxter such a special slasher is his ability to stay in the air while others come back to the ground. His jumping ability is top-notch.

How many Zieglers could we potentially have on the floor at one time? :excited:

Also, this would make the Plumlee's look ridic inadequate.

1 Zeigler on the bench(Ernie), and honestly everything is contingent upon him coming, and then potentially 2 Zeiglers on the floor, Trey and Byron.

Trey is the transfer from Central Michigan who's publicly stated that he is considering Duke, Michigan St, Michigan, UCLA, and Pittsburgh.

Byron is the Class of '14 prospect from the Detroit area who already holds offers from Indiana, Iowa St, and Xavier.

From what I vaguely remember, Zeigs was a pretty solid floor general, from Wichita and Indy CC before KSU.

"Tyquone Greer, SG/SF, Chicago Magic – This is an elite athlete with a developing skill set, and it is scary what his upside is. Greer had a few impressive dunks and then mixed in some jump shots just for good measure. He also has long arms and plays hard and with a purpose. He will need to refine his game and play with a better feel for situations, but all the physical tools are there to be a high, high level player."

"My recruitment is picked up even more this year. A lot of schools are constantly calling my high school and AAU coaches. Louisville and Ohio State are probably the two schools that are on me the hardest right now. But there are a lot of others, I talk with Indiana and Purdue a lot. Also, Xavier and West Virginia really like me. I love talking to all these great schools with such good coaches."

From Minny, Weber had offered this kid when Weber was still at Illinois:

Johnnie Vasser listed an offer from DePaul, while Kansas State, Illinois, Syracuse, Marquette, California, UNLV, Oregon, Oregon State, Iowa, and Boston College have shown interest.

"Johnnie Vasser, PG, SYF Players - A talented and explosive lead guard, Vasser has always been able to get to the rim, but is now showing natural maturation in running a team. He's still wild and turnover prone at times, but Vasser found teammates and still got offense for himself at the rim. The jumper is also still a lingering question mark at this point in his game, but making baskets easier for other guys is a big step in his development."

"Jaquan Lyle, PG/SF, Spiece Indy Heat – The first thing you notice about Lyle’s game is his feel. His court vision is impressive, his passes are pinpoint and he makes good basketball plays. Lyle has terrific ball skills and will likely play on the ball in college. With his size (6-foot-5), he’s capable of bullying defenders and he knows how to position his body and use his frame when trying to get to the rim. On top of all that, his strength allows him to finish, plus he can mix in spot-up jump shots as well."

"JaQuan Lyle listed Ilinois, Indiana, Xavier, Butler, Kansas State, Ohio State, Michigan State and Louisville. He claims scholarship offers from all of them."

So if you team this kid up with a 5* post player(Vonleh), he can really be tough to handle.

"SURPRISE PERFORMANCES

Matt Cimino (Falmouth, Maine/Worcester Academy)
2014, PF, 6-9, 200 pounds
Cimino put on a show in the second half of the U-17 championship game in Providence, knocking down five second-half 3s by working the inside-out, two-man game with Vonleh. He’s a good post feeder from the perimeter, with agility and touch to throw soft bounce passes and the size to throw over top of pressure as well. His combination of size and skill also forced the opposition into defensive mismatches, as the Westchester Hawks had to use their longest defender to contest Cimino’s 3-point shot, leaving Vonleh free to operate against a smaller defender on the block.

Potential four-star guy right here. Moves very well, big time range and shooting ability for a kid his size.

My main complaint is that I am very, very leery of a roster full of complementary players. Don't get me wrong every team needs these types of players to succeed, it's just that in order to be really tough to beat, you need at least a couple players who are athletic and/or skilled enough or some combo of the 2 to create scoring opportunities either offensively or defensively on their own when all hell breaks loose.

Well, that's my crap theory at least.

Good find bp, Bluiett plays on the same AAU team, Spiece Indy Heat, as Jaquan Lyle, a 5* prospect KSU has offered for the class of '14. Reynardo Bluiett, Trevon's dad, is SIH's coach.
Bossi on Bluiett:

"...keep an eye on another 2014 prospect in Trevon Bluiett. The 6-foot-5 sophomore isn't the most athletic guy, he doesn't strike you as the best ball-handler or the most dangerous shooter. But, the guy has a commanding feel for the game and is a throwback player with a skill and craft-based game like Mark Aguirre and Adrian Dantley had back in their day. The guy produces at a high level and gets the job done."

Spiece Trio Impresses in Ft. Wayne   
 

  By Rick Broering
MusketeerReport.com
Posted May 5, 2012 



Share on twitterShare on facebook| More Sharing ServicesMore

MusketeerReport got a chance to watch three players on Xavier's radar in the first game of the Spiece Run-N-Slam event Friday night.

One of the best events of the year is the Spiece Run-N-Slam event taking place in Ft. Wayne this weekend.
Friday night got off to a good start as MusketeerReport got the chance to evaluate the Spiece Indy Heat team that has been participating in Nike's Elite Youth Basketball League consisting of two 2014 Xavier targets and another player who is on the staff's radar.

Jaquan Lyle, ranked 13th overall in the class of 2014, stood out on the loaded Spiece Indy Heat roster. Playing both on and off the ball, Lyle finished with 15 points and at least seven assists in the win.

Lyle has a natural feel for the game and court vision that is second to none. He made the transition seamlessly from playing with the ball in his hands to playing on the wing, though I still prefer him as a point guard because of his ability to create and see everyone on the floor. At 6-foot-4 with a big frame though, it's possible that he's going to play off the ball at the next level.

He showed off his improved jump shot on the offensive end by knocking down a pair of pull-up threes in transition and a few long jumpers. He was constantly in attack mode, and a little more aggressive in looking for his own shot than in any previous evaluations, especially when he was playing off the ball. He also showed off his athleticism by throwing down a couple of alley-oop dunks.

The other Xavier target that stood out is 6-5 wing Trevon Bluiett. Bluiett is a thicker wing with a sweet stroke from the outside.

He finished with 12 points, while showing off his smooth perimeter jumper. He has long arms and a bigger body, which he uses to his advantage, even though his feet aren't the quickest. One thing that really stood out about Bluiett's game is the strides he's made with his handle. His offensive skill-set is now more that of a two guard, as he looked really good as the primary ball-handler at times and also when pushing it in transition. He also made some really nice passes and showed improved passing ability and feel.

Xavier is also looking at 2014 big man Johnathan Wilkins, a 6-foot-10 center, that plays for Spiece.

Wilkins was an interesting player to evaluate. He is completely comfortable being a role player on a strong roster. He gives maximum effort, runs the entire floor on every play, always crashes the glass and is unselfish after he chases down a loose ball or offensive rebound. He is at his best when he's blocking shots and rebounding right now, but his size combined with his athleticism and effort makes for a pretty high ceiling, especially on offense.

Bluiett and Lyle are pretty serious targets for Xavier, and both showed really well on Friday night. Bluiett is a good shooter with range and a developing all-around skill-set and offensive game. Lyle is a high-level creator, who can absolutely control the game with the ball in his hands. He makes everyone else better with his passing ability. Wilkins is an interesting young big man with a chance to develop into a nice prospect. He has legit size, is a good athlete and plays with great effort. His hands and coordination look pretty good already, and with a little development on the offensive end he may very well see increased interest from schools.

MusketeerReport will hopefully get another chance to evaluate these prospects from Indiana on Saturday at the Spiece Run-N-Slam.

"Johnnie Vassar - a 2014 6-foot point guard who was being home schooled - is on the move again. He will attend Milton High in Georgia for his junior season. After attending Lawrence Academy in Massachusetts for his freshman year, Vassar made the move out to La Lumiere in Indiana for his sophomore season.

After a few months at La Lumiere, he decided to leave due to academic reasons and was home schooled for a few months. After residing in California for a few months, the talented floor general will head down south to Milton where he will play for David Boyd's squad following the re-location of his mother's job.

"I picked Milton because of the relationship with the coach," he said. "It's a good academic school, has a nice schedule, style of play and I also wanted to go to a school where all the kids live in the same community."

Vassar has looks from DePaul, California, Syracuse, Kansas State, SMU, Marquette and other schools. He recently visited Marquette and had an Illinois offer prior to the staff being fired. He is running with the SYF Players of Indiana this spring and is trying to get his name back in the spotlight."

Peyton Allen, 6'4" SG. Previous staff was recruiting this kid, sounds like Weber's staff has gone forward with that, 3 offers for him right now but getting plenty of interest from a lot of high majors. Plays AAU on a very talented SW IL Jets team, sounds like he may be the best of the bunch, can really light it up from deep:

"The 2014 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Glenwood Chatham in Illinois, Allen is running alongside Darreon Reddick and Darius Austin with the U16 Illinois Southwest Jets on the AAU circuit. The squad is having a strong spring thus far as Allen continues to pick up new schools.

Three schools have offered early in Oklahoma State, Iowa and Bradley, while the squads interested in him are Tennessee, Xavier, Florida State, Butler, Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, Kansas State, West Virginia, Purdue, Illinois State, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Stanford, Oregon State, Northwestern, Wisconsin, DePaul, SIUE, Ball State, Oklahoma, Auburn Missouri, Marquette and Cincinnati."

Bossi with report on KC Classic from Saturday's action. Sounds like Custer stepped up his play. There's also some stuff on Nairn and 5* wing Kevon Looney from Milwaukee, who's the mostly rated prospect at the tourney this weekend, free update linked below:

"Sophomore point guard Clayton Custer admitted that he hadn't been himself during the last two weekends of play. The six-footer from Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley Northwest hadn't played with his usual confidence and swagger the past few weekends for MoKan Elite during Nike's EYBL.

A stint at home in front of his family and friends may have been exactly what the doctor ordered, though, as Custer was back to playing at a high level. He hit pull-up jumpers, got into the lane and finished floaters with contact, worked refs for calls and helped lead his team to a bunch of wins Saturday.

The junior-to-be said he remained confident despite his struggles.

"I never lost my confidence," Custer told Rivals.com. "Maybe I got a little overconfident and felt like I'd made it. I realized that I haven't done anything yet, and I need to stay on a mission."

The recipient of early offers from the likes of Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Houston, Custer plans on hitting Nike's Elite 100 camp for the nation's top underclassmen in June and may take a visit to Kansas State to check in with the new staff.

For the most part, though, he'll use June to rest up and prepare for July, and he'll be sure to be taking the floor with confidence.

"Sometimes I feel like people think I'm good because of the way I carry myself," said Custer. "When I'm confident and play with that swagger, it comes out in my game and I'm at my best."

LOL

I'm honestly not sure if Weber's staff has re-extended the offer to Okafor. I know Martin's staff offered him last fall and his recruiting profiles still reflect that, but I really haven't seen much evidence from the time Weber has been hired that KSU is recruiting him. Here's an article from the Duke site on 5/9 stating who is actively recruiting him the most.


Jahlil Okafor  By Scott Phillips
TDD Staff

Jahlil Okafor says Duke has been recruiting him harder than most any other program

With the April live evaluation period in the dust, coaches have already started to follow up on marquee targets they tracked during the final two weekends of the month. Duke was certainly no exception in staying in touch with their primary targets as the coaching staff made sure to follow up with one of their biggest recruits - in size and stature - by speaking with elite 2014 center Jahlil Okafor.
Okafor broke down his recruitment over the weekend while playing with the Mac Irvin Fire at the Spiece Run N' Slam in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

"Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State, Ohio State, Arizona, UConn, and Georgetown were all in touch after April," Okafor said. "The only coaches I talked to were the Ohio State coaches and I (also) talked to the Duke coaches. Every other school spoke to my Dad."

With Duke being one of the two programs that actually spoke directly to Jahlil, the Devils had a chance to re-iterate their commitment to recruiting Scout.com's No. 2 player in 2014. Okafor is off a strong start this spring, averaging 11.1 points and 4.6 rebounds a game in only 19 minutes a game in nine EYBL contests.

"I spoke with Coach K and he was just telling me more about the program and how much he wants me to go there," Okafor said of his recent contact with the Duke coaching staff.

Okafor, who is also shooting 70% from the field in the EYBL, also said the Devils were among those recruiting him the hardest.

"I would say Ohio State, Michigan State, Duke, and Arizona have been the most consistent recruiting me," Jahlil said.

While the recruiting process never seems to end for Jahlil, he's also spent a considerable amount of time getting into better game shape.

"It's making things a lot easier for me," Okafor said of his work in the gym. "It's easier to move, I'm a lot more athletic, and it's easier to dunk. So it's helping my game a lot. I can move more from left to right and it's helped my agility on defense."

Post by: Mixed-Nutz on May 24, 2012, 01:50:38 PM
Okafor is weird he took an unofficial to Nebraska, we have connections to him, maybe the staff doesn’t think he worth the time. But, I remember somewhere us contacting him after the Weber hire.
Title: Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread
Post by: Underdog Wildcat on May 24, 2012, 02:17:42 PM
Okafor's visit to NUBB had everything to do with their asst Ron Coleman, see link below. The Mac Irvin Fire had about 5 prospects visit Lincoln on the same weekend. If they end up landing Kyle Davis I will be equally impressed at them landing him and angry at us for not recruiting him more heavily.

"John Crosby (Team Melo 2014) – A big, physical point guard at 6’2” Crosby has an amazing feel for the game. He makes great decisions with the ball never panicking under pressure and seemingly always finding the open man. Crosby used smarts and a quick first step to get into the lane repeatedly and once there used a soft floater to score over the top of rotating bigs. Passing is always his first choice though and his drive and kick outs for 3 point attempts were the best offense for Team Melo in their afternoon win."

Physically, I'd say they look very similar, 6'1"-6'2"ish with long, lanky frame. I'm not sure I ever saw Brown explode off the floor like that though.  I don't know if Joseph, is the skilled pure scorer that Brown was/is though.

Good comparo, we'll have to keep track of Joseph's progress to see how he stacks up to Brown down the road.

Post by: Underdog Wildcat on June 22, 2012, 02:58:44 PM
Same blogger(Henricksen) ranked IL's class of '14 prospects about 6 weeks ago, KSU targets pasted below:

3. Keita Bates-Diop, 6-7, WF, Normal (U-High)
You love players that continue to make strides and improve little by little, which is what Bates-Diop has done over the past three years. When he fully develops physically (which will probably leave him at 6-8 or 6-9) -- and as he takes a leap forward with his assertiveness with continued maturity -- look out. He can step out, face the basket and knock down shots. He's blessed with ridiculous length with a 7-foot wingspan. Still a long way to go for this talented combo forward to reach his ceiling, which makes him that much more appealing.

9. Tyquane Greer, 6-6, WF, Chicago (Orr)
Hoops Report has always gushed about the upside of Greer, who is growing and filling out physically. He's still just a pup. A super athlete with length and an ability to shoot the ball with range. Still needs to play with more consistency as he will float in and out of games. He must also become a bigger weapon off the dribble and add to his overall offensive game.

14. Peyton Allen, 6-4, 2G/WF, Chatham-Glenwood
He's developed into a high-major shooter, thus he now entertains high-major offers from both Oklahoma State and Iowa. Allen has size at 6-4, shooting range and a pretty solid basketball acumen. But his body type and lack of foot speed and athleticism are cause for concern when projecting him at the high-major level.

Joseph shows well at a camp for the top players in New England. Joseph, Cimino, and several of their Mass Rivals teammates visited UCONN earlier this week:

"While Terrell is a power broker in the backcourt, the chief trait of Joseph's that stood out was his knack for bringing his best effort against top competition.

Whether it was in 1-on-1 drills or in the scrimmages later in the day, Joseph gave his very best effort on both ends of the floor.

An improved ball-handler and true distributive point guard, the four-star point guard at Ashburnham (Mass.) Cushing Academy showed what college coaches can expect from him in July. Joseph said that Tennessee, Maryland, Boston College, UConn, Pittsburgh, Kansas State and Providence are among those most active in his recruitment."

From coast2coasthoop's Joey Natale, KSU has been in contact with Mavin Saunders, originally from the Bahamas but living and attending school in the Houston area. Some profiles list him as an SF, some as a PF, so I guess we'll just call him a combo forward for now. It looks like UConn was showing him heavy interest last fall but that might have faded a little bit now. Saunders recently visited Auburn, and along with KSU, Colorado St. has also started to show interest in him.

*Mavin Saunders (6-5/Franchize All-Stars/Sugarland, TX, Kinkaid)
Frank(Burlison) Says: The left hander from the Bahamas – who played so well during the adidas Nations event in Southern California last August – was terrific in the VIP Executive Run. But, apparently, few other Internet evaluators took notice of this top-flight prospect from the Class of 2014.

"Kansas State, Washington, & Vandy, are showing the most interest in St. Joseph (MD) SG Jordan McNeil '14, according to his AAU coach."


Another Team Melo kid, 6'4" 175, recently ranked as 10th best SG in Maryland for class of '14.

http://marylandhoops.net/?p=544#more-544


From last month's Rumble in the Bronx:

"Jordan McNeil (Team Melo 2014) – The 3rd piece of the puzzle in the Team Mel 16U ship(the 1st 2 being John Crosby and Trevis Buchanon), McNeil spaced the floor and knocked down shots with range well past the 3 point line. Once establishing his jumper as a major weapon McNeil used a ball fake to drive past defenders and finish acrobatic plays around the rim. At 6’4” he has excellent size for the off guard spot and is a player to watch going forward."

Cimino update:

"While not the most athletic player in the class, at 6-foot-10 and 220 pounds, he has the size and skill to be a mismatch problem. With that Cimino continues to work on his game.

“I think it is coming along well,” Cimino explained. “I am just trying to be versatile with an inside-out game. I can shoot the ball and go the basket. Also I am working on my post moves and running the floor.”

Recruiting wise Cimino has two offers and a host of elite academic schools showing him significant attention.

“Boston College, Kansas State, Harvard, Stanford, Notre Dame, and Providence,” said Cimino of the schools contacting him. “Boston College and Kansas State have offered.”

Kansas State has been one of the schools showing Cimino the most attention.

“They were my first high-major,” said Cimino. “Coach (oscar) Weber is a first year head coach there. I am looking forward to seeing how they come along. I am really excited where their program is headed.”

FWIW, Cimino's older sister played at Stanford.

I think he may be the first high profile player that we actually end up really having an honest to God shot at landing.  If we have a good year this year, and we probably will just due to the experienced roster, we may get him.  If we can get his teammate in a package deal, that would be a pretty good thing.

I said it before, and I'll say it again; this is the kind of staff that needs years to cultivate a relationship with a high-major player if we want to land him.

Joseph and Cimino would be ridiculous gets for this staff, they've played together and will continue to do so for at least the next 13-14 months and I think their games really complement each other.

I also think we have a decent shot at MOKAN's 4* PG duo Custer and Nairn. No offer for Nairn yet and it looks like we've just started to recruit him, but our odds of landing him might be better in the long run.

All appearances are there's still a long way to go in each of these guy's recruitments, hopefully steady progress can be made on all fronts.

Cushing Academy 2014: The four-star combo guard showed nice scoring ability for the Massachusetts Rivals by consistently being able to get past his man and finish in the lane with floaters and quick pullup jumpers. Joseph plays a simple game for a young guard, which is a good thing, and does a nice job of efficiently running his team while rarely turning the ball over against the constant pressure of the Atlanta Celtics' athletic guards. His handle is tight and while he isn't the quickest point guard, he has the understanding of how to create space with changes of direction and pace to get in the lane and score the ball."

Trevon Bluiett - Quite simply, this kid is wired to score. Whether it is a feathery step back jumper or slashing and scoring at the rim, he's got a little Paul Pierce in his game. Although not a plus athlete, he is good enough and he is beginning to defend better as well. He has the ability to make shots of the catch or off the bounce, which is something you don't see a lot these days.

* Bluiett has visits set up to Kansas State and Illinois in August and after those trips wants to pare down his list a bit. He said that he and his father will sit down and discuss things at that time.

FWI, Blueitt's Dad, Reynardo, is his AAU coach for the Spiece Indy Heat, from what I gather the "Blue" is sort of their alternate team. KSU has also offered 5* Jaquan Lyle('14) from SIH, would be awesome to get them both to visit, but will take confirmation of 1 visiting. Here's some more stuff on Blueitt from the Adidas Invite:

"2014 wing Trevon Bluiett continued to display his impressive game in front of Michigan coach John Beilein and dozens of high major coaches from around the country.

Bluiett, a 6-foot-6 wing from Indianapolis, led Spiece Indy Blue to an 81-72 win over Club Ohio in his first game on Thursday morning. John Beilein, Matt Painter and John Groce were among the head coaches in attendance on Thursday morning as Bluiett racked up 32 points, including six 3-point field goals.

The hometown kid scored from all over the floor, maintaining a steady tempo, and taking what the defense gave him. He converted his first four field goals from outside the arc, and when the defense began to collapse, Bluiett started slashing to the rim.

He scored several baskets around the hoop and used his deceiving quickness and strength to get all the way to the cup. Along with a smooth touch and quick trigger, the four-star prospect showed great passing ability, keeping his head up on the break and finding open teammates in tight windows for easy buckets."

"Jonnie Vassar (Dream Vision 2014) – Vassar showed me something that I hadn’t seen from him before this week. He played much more under control than I’ve ever seen before and provided a level of toughness to the up-tempo Dream Vision team that they’d otherwise lack. He took multiple charges throughout the tournament despite typically being the smallest player on the floor cutting his chin open on one of them and having to leave the game to get stitches. He returned less than a half hour later with a huge bandage on his chin and checked himself back into the game ready to do anything it took to help his team win. Known for his physical skills, Vassar’s intangibles here in Indy stood out and have enhanced my view of him as a prospect and a player."

He drove hard to the rim going both ways, consistently made 3-point shots, and created easy scoring chances for teammates with his excellent vision. This game was yet another step towards Joseph realizing he belongs among the nation’s elite point guards and continues what has been a terrific AAU campaign."

Time and time again he hit big time shots in order to keep his team with striking distance of Florida Elite.

Price-Martin's reclassification came as a bite of a surprise when his AAU coach, Kenny Gillion of Team Breakdown, announced that the No. 59 player in the Rivals150 "will reclass to the 2014 class. He will finish out his senior year at Northeast (FL) and go to prep school." Gillion stressed that the 4-star prospect is fine academically, and the move simply comes as a result of being young for his grade. Already holding offers from Florida, Louisville, Miami, Florida State, USC, UCF, South Carolina, Ohio State, NC State and more, look for many more elite schools to get involved in his recruitment now that he has an extra year to get stronger, mature and perfect his craft."

He showed great ball handling skills to go along with great quickness and speed which allowed him to guard both guard positions. He can score on all three levels and shot the ball exceptionally well from mid range. He likes to attack the rim and is strong enough to finish with contact.

"Lourawls Nairn, PG, MoKan Elite – The man simply known as “Tum-Tum”, Nairn had a very good game. He is an attack mode point guard, and he did just that. Nairn didn’t shoot one jump shot the entire game, but he can get to the bucket at will and has excellent speed with the basketball. Nairn’s play in the second half helped to spur a big MoKan run to stay in the game. If he can get a consistent jumper, he will be very difficult to defend."

http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1204606.html


"Clayton Custer, PG, MoKan Elite – The best thing Custer does is shoot the basketball, and he did just that on Thursday evening. Custer knocked in multiple deep jumpers, and then also did a solid job of handling defensive pressure and running a team. He has a ton of confidence in his game, and uses that out on the floor to be a major factor."

With the offers we have out now, I'm hopeful we get one of those guys. Stars don't mean much to me, but what I do care about is players choosing us over other high major offers. That's why Pullen wasn't like some of the other 3 stars out there.

stars mean a TON to me but that's mostly because the best players have more stars

I'll give ya that, I was thinking more of Pullen than anyone else when I made that statement. There's a reason Kentucky won the national championship with Coach Cal as their coach.

"John Crosby (Team Melo 2014) – A big, physical point guard at 6’2” Crosby has an amazing feel for the game. He makes great decisions with the ball never panicking under pressure and seemingly always finding the open man. Crosby used smarts and a quick first step to get into the lane repeatedly and once there used a soft floater to score over the top of rotating bigs. Passing is always his first choice though and his drive and kick outs for 3 point attempts were the best offense for Team Melo in their afternoon win."

Another PG target in this class:

TEAM MELO’S JOHN CROSBY GAINING INTEREST

Baltimore’s Poly High School is not a traditional hotbed for high major recruits, but make no mistake about it, Class of 2014 guard John Crosby is a sure-fire high major prospect.

“I got Kansas State, Ohio State, North Carolina, Rutgers, Miami, a lot of Big East schools,” said Crosby on his interest from schools. “South Florida offered.”

Back in June Crosby took an unofficial visit to North Carolina and the interest from the Tar Heel program has him only working harder.

“That made me feel good,” said Crosby on hearing from UNC. “I just got to keep working hard, so it can be an offer one day and so I can be able to go to the school. It’s a great school and a great area.”

Poly HS is a great academic high school in Baltimore and Crosby is a tremendous student-athlete. He understands what it takes to play and succeed at the highest level and he will work hard to give himself every opportunity to make it happen.

“I just play hard and do whatever my coach needs me to do,” he said. “I’m a point guard who passes first. I’m a bigger guard so I can get it into the post and post some little guards up. I’m working on my jumper. I want to be able to do a pull up to make the game easier and just get my teammates involved. ”

Willard junior Chris Kendrix gets MAC offer; interest from other schools
Posted on August 2, 2012 by Matt Schoch

Willard High School incoming junior Chris Kendrix parlayed a nice summer with the MoKan Elite 16-and-under AAU team to some notice from some college coaches, and his first Division-I offer.

Kendrix was offered a scholarship from Miami (Ohio) during the summer and also has attracted interest from Kansas State, Missouri State and Colorado, he said Wednesday night.

Kendrix helped the 16-and-under Kansas City-based team to a 42-5 summer and championships in five tournaments. He was joined on the team by fellow area juniors Charlie Brown of Joplin and Kellieon Williams of Waynesville. Those two area also garnering Division-I interest, according to their MoKan coach, Jim Huber.

Kendrix is a 6-foot-5 wing who will be playing for first-year Willard coach Lamont Frazier, a former standout player at the University of Missouri, this winter.

For more on area standouts wrapping up the summer hoops AAU scene, check out Friday’s newspaper.

Joseph doing his thing, running the show over the past couple weeks:

"While the big guys were doing their thing in the lane, four-star point guard Kaleb Joseph was orchestrating it all from the point. The 6-foot-1 floor general has added a little more burst since we last saw him in the spring and is also finding a nice blend of getting his own offense and creating for others. "

http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1390181
 

"Kaleb Joseph, SG/PG, Mass Rivals – The combo guard out of Ashburnham (Mass.) Cushing Academy used his speed and athleticism to making plays attacking the rim in both the half court set and in transition. Joseph also hit a three, worked in a mid-range pull-up and tossed in a floater."

http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1206378.html


"Four-star point guard Kaleb Joseph from the class of 2014 has done a nice job playing a facilitating role in the backcourt. He's taking good care of the basketball and creating off the dribble to set up teammates for scoring opportunities while also using his length and quickness to guard the ball on the defensive end."

I think ESPN is trying to flesh out those differences among their 3 stars with the numbered rating system. They're really the only major recruiting service that applies those numbered ratings to prospects. According to their system, any prospect rated 90 and above is given 5 stars, any prospect rated 80 and above is given 4 stars, any prospect rated 70 and above is given 3 stars, etc.

Based on their scale, a prospect rated at 79 such as Cimino and Nairn, is considered to be a better prospect than 1 rated at 70, even though both are given 3 stars.

Without the numerical ranking system, the importance of reading scouting reports and paying attention to offer/interest lists is magnified, if you're interested in trying to evaluate prospects.

KSU's staff was scouting Carrington and his teammate on the LI Lightning, Adonis Delarosa (6'10" 260) during the July live period. Delarosa isn't currently ranked by any of the major scouting services yet and I'm not certain how great KSU's interest is in him at this time, but it sounds like he could develop into a big-time prospect, if not already there.

"Adonis is playing real good," his AAU coach Chris Williams said. "He's showing that he's the best center in New York City and one of the top centers in the country."

Rosa had coaches from Kansas State, Michigan State and Tennessee watching him during his past game at the Nike Invitational according to Williams."

Kansas State offers Dwayne MorganTweet The Kansas State Wildcats have offered 2014 five-star small forward recruit Dwayne Morgan, who is clearly the best recruit in the state of Maryland. He is also arguably one of the top five recruits in the region and easily a top 30 recruit in the nation.

Dwayne Morgan has also received offers from Georgetown, Missouri, UNLV, Seton Hall, Florida, LSU, Miami, N.C. State, USF, and San Diego State in his recruitment. UNC, Duke, Clemson, Florida State, Texas, Maryland, and Ohio State have also shown interest.

The 6’7?, 180 pound Baltimore SF is easily one of the best ten players at his position in the 2014 class, and the St. Frances standout is one of the most highly sought after recruits in the 2014 class. Many coaches and scouts eye his games with Bmore’s Finest, and he certainly is Baltimore’s finest recruit; it only takes a glance at his AAU games and camps around the country to see why.

An excellent scorer, Dwayne Morgan possess a quality game with a consistent jumper. He has terrific length, and his overall talent is off the charts. Many coaches love him for his upside, and Morgan is also plenty good now. Although he does need to get stronger, Morgan is a better rebounder than some people give him credit for and is versatile enough to play both forward positions.

The five-star small forward has athleticism, intelligence, and he is also a good shot-blocker. Dwayne Morgan has a great mid-range game that is the most appealing thing about his offensive game, and he also has a high motor and finishes at an above-average rate around the rim. One of the best prospects to come out of Maryland recently, Morgan is definitely a five-star recruit, and Maryland is hoping to land the top in-state catch and Southern Jam Fest standout.

That would be pretty cool if things worked out like that but I haven't seen any references to Blueitt visiting at that time, just as in the link above, every time I've seen BLueitt talk about visiting KSU, he's always said August but a specific date has not been given.

You probably already knew this but since Blueitt is just a JR, he can't take official visits until Jan 1, 2013.

Foster and Carroll will presumably be on officials the weekend of 9/8.

As far as I know, the KC based version was the only program to change their name. They still have teams based in MN, UT, and LAC(the original, known as "Double Pump Elite"). The main reason for this change was the program's change in sponsors from Adidas to Under Armor. I really don't know if that was that program's attempt to distance themselves from the Pumps(flagbearers for Adidas), or just an attempt to jump on the forefront of the UA bandwagon, if you can call it that right now.

Same organizers, same coaches, so I'm not expecting much of a change but I guess we'll see.

FWIW, right after Weber was hired this past spring, KSU briefly showed some interest in a Run GMC product Class of '13 Tory Miller(6'9" PF from Lee's Summit, now going to prep school in NH). In 1 of his updates from then, Miller said he thought KSU was really close to offering(which may not be a huge statement with this staff, ha!) but we've really fallen off the radar with him since then. It sounds like Minnesota, Nebraska, Creighton, TCU, and Colorado St are still on him strong with interest from Vandy and Missouri. He's planning to visit Minnesota in September. Couldn't really say why we stopped recruiting him, wouldn't call him an elite prospect, but solid. I guess we'll see how the whole AAU relations shakes out from here.

Post by: Underdog Wildcat on August 27, 2012, 03:26:53 PM
What's the difference between an official and un-official visit?  Who pays?

Official visits --> the school the prospect is visiting pays for the whole thing. Each prospect is granted the opportunity to take up to 5 official visits to different schools before making a final decision. In the past, prospects were only to begin taking these visits during the fall of his SR year. Starting Jan 1, 2013, prospects can start taking visits in during their JR years. Note: this is for basketball recruiting, I'm not certain off the top of my head how the rule change effects football recruiting.

Unofficial visits --> the prospect's(family) and or/his "handlers" pay for it. A lot of gray area as to what defines a "handler", this is an area the NCAA has been looking at regulating more strictly. A prospect can take as many unofficial visits to whatever schools he chooses as along as they don't occur during any of the NCAA's "no contact" periods.

Hey no problem, linked below is a recent article from Mike DeCourcy blasting the "unofficial" process. I think trying to completely eliminate them would be a joke and way too overreaching but I do think the financing of them needs to be regulated much more closely.

Quote from: Kline
Abu, Brennan & Terrell Take Visits

After a major summer that left college coaches wanting more, the 2014 Expressions Elite (MA) AAU trio of Alec Brennan , Abdul-Malik Abu and Jared Terrell took two important unofficial visits on Monday and Tuesday.

As all three have their fair share of offers, the trio visited Maryland on Monday and Temple on Tuesday.

In fact, the Terrapins left such a strong impression upon Abu - the No. 66 player in the Rivals150 - that he said, "Maryland will be one of the schools that will be on my final list. The coaches are great and I like the direction the program is heading in."

Abu is also looking at Michigan State, Boston College, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Iowa State, Penn State, Kansas State, UConn, Miami, Providence, Rhode Island and more.

Terrell, the No. 31 player in the Rivals150 who will head to Brewster Academy (NH) for his junior year, is looking at the similar schools. While they have not been vocal about a package deal, there is always a possibility.

 
Brennan, a big man from Milton Academy (MA), also has attracted major attention from Rhode Island, Harvard, UMass, Seton Hall, Kansas State, Boston College and more.

Blueitt says he's hearing the most from Indiana, Michigan, Xavier, KSU, and Illinois. He's taken unofficial visits to Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan and Xavier and plans to visit Indiana for Midnight Madness.

All throughout this past summer, he'd said he wanted to take an unofficial to KSU but unfortunately that didn't happen. It sounds like he had some difficulty setting up all the visits he wanted to take due to his parents having to work on weekends. Hopefully, his visit to KSU can be coordinated once the BTF is completed.

"Dwayne Morgan, SF – Probably the most talented player at the event, Morgan did some very good things. He showed a good ability to handle the basketball on the outside, and is very athletic. His combination of size and athleticism on the wing is quite impressive. He didn’t always dominate at the camp, but the talent level was clear all weekend long."

Yesterday, oscar Weber was in Springfield, Ill. to see class of 2014 four-star point guard Larry Austin. He's been recruiting Austin since he was an 8th grader.

This morning, a Wildcats assistant watched 2014 four-star shooting guard Grayson Allen work out in Florida. Later today they'll see another 2014 kid, 6-10 big man Michael Gilmore.

A couple of other 2014 names that have popped up are four-star PF Adul-Malik Abu and four-star combo forward Marcanvis Hymon.

Profile on Cimimo's prep school team, Worcester Academy:

"The Hilltoppers Frontline will be orchestrated by returning 6’10 Center Matt Cimino and 6’8 bruiser, Darryl Reynolds. Cimino is coming off a great run on the AAU circuit with Mass Rivals earning high major interest including offers from Virginia, BC and Kansas State. Cimino is versatile, face up post player that can step out and knock down the long range jump shot. Reynolds comes to Worcester, Ma by the way of Philadelphia, Pa and made a name for himself in New England weeks prior to the start of school at the Tufts Prep Shootout. Reynolds physical presence alone is an intimidation factor for those who think about trying to get in his way. Standing at 6’8 with a massive cut frame, Reynolds is a skilled, big man with range on his shot that extends to the 3 point line. Reynolds likes to bang down low, put the ball on the floor to create space, in order to knock down the baseline pull up or jump shot from the elbow. Reynolds and Cimino on the floor together will create matchup problems for opposing big men."

Another report from the UA Grindsession in Houston this past weekend, this time from Scout's Josh Gershon:

"Dominique Collier, PG: The slight guard's biggest strength is probably his speed with the ball in his hands, as he gets up and down the court very quickly. While he's more of a combo right now, Collier could be developed more as a point guard at the next level, and he has the tools to do it. He made some really impressive bounce passes to teammates off drives to the basket, picking up assists on the plays."


"Dominique Collier said Kansas State, Stanford, Gonzaga, Colorado and Iowa have been by to see him so far this fall."

Update on Alec Brennan from Purdue Rivals site:

"The 6-foot-9 forward from Milton Academy played well enough during the summer, playing for his Expressions Elite AAU team, to begin meriting major-college attention.

"Coming out of July," Brennan told Rivals.com, "I definitely thought (my game) was the highest it's been. Since then I've kind of stayed there. I've definitely been working on my shot still, handle and everything. I'm trying to keep it up there and elevate it for the coming season."

As is, Brennan is ranked No. 133 in Rivals.com's Class of 2014 top 150 and drawing a slew of recruiters to Milton.

Milton coach Lamar Reddicks listed Maryland, Temple, Kansas State, Iowa State and Northwestern among the many who've offered scholarships, in addition to Purdue. Arizona, he said, was expected to visit the school Monday to see Brennan."

"He hasn't shown his cards at all," Reddicks said. "He's just taking in the process. It's all happened so fast for him. Every day there's a new school (interested)."

Linked below is a report from a camp last month featuring both Brennan and Cimino. These are a couple of prospects KSU has offered in '14 that sound like they have similar, faceup 4/stretch post man games:

"Alec Brennan, 2014 (Milton) – Brennan is a skilled 6’9 forward who is still in the process of becoming more assertive offensively. He is known widely as a sharpshooting, stretch four man, but he’s going to make himself even more effective as he develops that go-to move on the low block. He did a nice job today of altering and blocking shots."

"Matt Cimino, 2014 (Worcester) – Known as a sharpshooter, Cimino did a nice job today of asserting himself down low and used his length to his advantage to alter and block shots. He moves very well without the ball, picks his spots, and knocks down a high percentage from behind the arc."

So no on Custer?  Are we even recruiting him anymore?

As of a month ago, we were. There's a few KC area posters that seem to have some knowledge about Custer that bop through here sometimes, they're welcome to join in if they have anything new. As far I know though(which admittedly isn't much), KSU still has the offer extended to him.

Custer update from Iowa St. site. He visited Ames this past weekend, that's the 3rd time he's been up there in the past several months and says he plans to get back up there again to watch an ISU bball game this upcoming season:

"Oklahoma State is pretty involved and then we've got Kansas State and Oklahoma," he said. "Mizzou just started recruiting me. Butler has been in to see me. I'm getting interest from a lot of schools, but Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Kansas State are the ones showing the most interest."

From MN's link about McClain, Weber was in Champaign last weekend to check in with 6'9" PF Michael Finke. Finke has offers from Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. His Dad played Fball and Bball at Illinois, is also coach of younger Finke's AAU team, the Peoria Irish.

Kline reports from the NY vs Philly all star game this past weekend:

"In a competitive sophomore game stacked with talented guards, the likes of Khadeen Carrington, Shavar Newkirk and Ja'Quan Newton stood out. All members of the Rivals150 for the class of 2014, each stood out on the court as they dictated the scoring pace and trend in the offense.

Carrington, a combo guard out of Bishop Loughlin (NY), holds offers from Iowa State, Iowa, UConn, Kansas State, Villanova, Cincinnati, Rutgers, West Virginia, St. John's and more. At the moment, he says Cincinnati, West Virginia and Iowa State are recruiting him the hardest. An upcoming trip to Cincinnati is scheduled in two weeks. Both the No. 97 player in the Rivals150 and his mother have tangled with the idea of committing this spring, but that is a distance away."

Yeah, I believe Lyle was the very 1st prospect this staff offered way back in April. With Lowery being an Evansville native, I'm sure he wants to stake a claim there, but it's going to be tough to fight off all those big-time programs in the Upper Midwest and Ohio Valley region that are also recruiting Lyle.

From Scout's Josh Gershon, sounds like we're making a hard run at Dominique Collier:

Quote
"The 6-foot-1, 160-pound Denver East 2014 point guard says that Kansas State, Gonzaga, Stanford, Colorado and Iowa are amongst the schools that have been by to see him, although it appears he remains wide open in his recruitment.

"I'm still open and going through the process right now," Collier said.

The four-star point guard identified Colorado, Kansas State and Stanford as the schools recruiting him the hardest."


Based on everything I know about Collier(which probably isn't much in the grand scheme of things), he's going to be tough to pry away from Colorado. Alterior motive here might be to try to establish a good relationship with Collier's AAU club, KC Run GMC, formerly KC Pump N Run.

KBD took an unofficial visit to Michigan St. this past weekend and they offered him on the visit. Could certainly alter the tenor of his recruitment and who's leading for him.

Profile on Cimimo's prep school team, Worcester Academy:

"The Hilltoppers Frontline will be orchestrated by returning 6’10 Center Matt Cimino and 6’8 bruiser, Darryl Reynolds. Cimino is coming off a great run on the AAU circuit with Mass Rivals earning high major interest including offers from Virginia, BC and Kansas State. Cimino is versatile, face up post player that can step out and knock down the long range jump shot. Reynolds comes to Worcester, Ma by the way of Philadelphia, Pa and made a name for himself in New England weeks prior to the start of school at the Tufts Prep Shootout. Reynolds physical presence alone is an intimidation factor for those who think about trying to get in his way. Standing at 6’8 with a massive cut frame, Reynolds is a skilled, big man with range on his shot that extends to the 3 point line. Reynolds likes to bang down low, put the ball on the floor to create space, in order to knock down the baseline pull up or jump shot from the elbow. Reynolds and Cimino on the floor together will create matchup problems for opposing big men."

http://hoopdreamsmag.com/?p=4817

Cimino, 1 of 1st bigs KSU offered in this class, visited Rhode Island for their Midnight Madness. He has offers Boston College, KSU, Virginia, and UMass.

Sounds like our staff is going strong after Kaleb Joseph. I'm really high on the kid, other than Jaquan Lyle, he'd be my top choice from all PG prospects KSU has offered in this class. Right now, he has high major offers from KSU, Providence, Seton Hall, Maryland, Tennessee, Boston College, and West Virginia. From a recent update on the Maryland Scout site: 

Quote
Fortunately for Maryland, Joseph said distance won't be a factor in his college decision.

“A big thing is the relationship with the coaches, where I feel the coach has the most trust in me and I have the most trust in him,” Joseph said. “Style of play is going to be important too.”

The recruiting heat will only pick up for Joseph as his high school career progresses and he plans on taking some visits over his Thanksgiving and winter breaks. Joseph said he doesn't have a top five yet, but the competition for Maryland will be fierce as Joseph acknowledged Kansas State and West Virginia are recruiting him the hardest right now.


Joseph highlights from this past summer linked below.

Nairn update, Telep talked to Sunrise coach. Sounds like KSU staff is really putting in the effort and is in good shape with Nairn at this time.

Quote
PG Nairn has unique name, big game
By Dave Telep

He was named after his father, who was originally named after legendary entertainer Lou Rawls. But Lourawls Nairn Jr. (Wichita, Kan./Sunrise Christian) won’t need to sing or act to win over college coaches. He’s blazing quick from baseline-to-baseline and extremely difficult to guard. The 2014 point guard with the most unique of names doesn’t need a nickname, but he’s got one.

Friends and recruiters alike call him “Tum Tum.” Apparently, the popular “Three Ninjas” series featured a kid by that name who could pack away food with little effort.

“I don’t know if I remember watching it, but there was a Three Ninjas movie a few years ago,” Sunrise coach Kyle Linsted said. “There was a kid on there who ate everything in sight, that’s what they called him, ‘Tum Tum.’”

Well this “Tum Tum” is on the rise. He’s going to be a high-major point guard. Most figured that out following his exploits with Spiece Mo-Kan last summer. When you have the elusive speed and quickness Nairn owns, you’re marketable.

Count oscar Weber among those in the know as the Kansas State head coach is a frequent visitor to Sunrise Christian. “He’s Kansas State’s No. 1 guy,” Linsted said. “oscar is here all the time for him.” Weber’s starting to notice he’s got company, too. Iowa, Wake Forest, Miami and Indiana have seen him. North Carolina called, so did Kentucky. And Texas A&M and Kansas have also been in.

“I think Kansas State has recruited him (harder) over everybody,” Linsted said.

Nairn, according to Linsted, has made strides since July. “Since the summer, you would not believe the difference in his shot. He’s starting to really shoot it now. He’s always had the speed, athleticism and toughness and now he’s shooting it.”

Nairn is not the only prospect at Sunrise Christian. Here’s a glance at why college coaches have made it a point to visit Wichita this fall.

J.C. Washington (Houston/Yates)
2014, PF, 6-6, 190
Offers: Lamar
Strong Interest: LSU, Kansas, Wichita State, Texas A&M and Kansas State

Washington is a good glue guy -- make that a super glue guy. He has a great motor and competes with toughness on both ends of the floor. Washington scores by sprinting the floor on the break, on the receiving end of drop-off passes and short shots in and around the lane. He turns broken plays and loose balls into baskets with his hustle and nose for the basket. Washington rebounds in a crowd, in and out of his area and is a threat to ignite the break with a bust-out dribble. He is a stellar defender both as a communicator and a shot blocker. Washington was a treat to watch compete in route to his 28 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 assist.

Wood was a former Rivals 150 (class of 12) and St John's commit.  Couldn't make grades so he went JUCO.  Is redshirting this year, so He'll have three to play three after next season.

Allen was more of  late bloomer who I think is boosting his stock by going JUCO.  Not sure of his qualifying status out of HS.  Leading a good Hutch JUCO team in scoring.

Both are long off guards.

He was a four star on Rivals.  ESPN's site is weird, but he had a grade of 88, which would have been a high 4-star.

Was that before or after ESPN changed their ranking system? (95)

Yes, coached against him for a few years. Athletic undersized guard with a lot of bounce. Good offensive skill set, has a nice mid range game. Needs work on his perimeter shooting. He is very talented but extremely lazy. Not a great competitor or leader and fundamental on the defensive end he is  :barf: Do not want.

Personally, I don't believe he will be able to get to the lane vs. Big XII level guards let alone finish at the rim. Has team cancer written all over him.

You want Kadeem Allen.

I doubt we're wasting too much energy on this guy, just doing our due diligence on a center (a position at which we desperately need help) who's brother is EMAW. Worth a few phone calls probably to gauge his interest level.

Alec Brennan - 6'10" PF - I feel like he is going to be our #1 priority to fill the 4-man outlined by Chris Lowery outlined here: http://curtiskitchen.com/not-doubting-thomas/ (http://curtiskitchen.com/not-doubting-thomas/)

That video of Bennan is almost a year old and it appears he continues to improve. Having a guy like him and his AAU teammate, the aforementioned Abdul-Mailk Abu, would be incredible gets. Those two with a a Kaleb Joseph or another AAU teammate of Brennan and Abu, Jared Terrell http://rivals.yahoo.com/basketballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/player-Jared-Terrell-129632 (http://rivals.yahoo.com/basketballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/player-Jared-Terrell-129632), would be an incredible '14 class.

Obviously, the '14 class has a chance to be very good. How good of a chance? I don't know. In any case, it will go a long way in determining HCBW's (and ultimately  :bball:'s) success over the next few to dozen years.

I want to give oscar the benefit of the doubt (in this thread at least).  It seems he has a great base (Big 12 title, new facility, daily flights to Texas and Chicago) from which to recruit.

Would someone be kind enough to type up a list of confirmed targets and give me a sentence or two on their "story" and our chances on them?  I'm sure there are others who would also appreciate this as much as me.

Since there are not shooting guards on that list, you have to wonder if after we landed Jevon Thomas that the plan was to part ways with Orris after this season, and try and pick up a SG for '13 in the spring. Probably the reason we didn't RS Orris. So, Orris would still have his RS when he transfered, while still getting SOME experience this year.

I haven't read the last few pages, but how worried are we about Fincher not qualifying? He posted a picture of a text conversation with his grandmother where he said "I'm not neglecting you, but I'm trying to get qualified and it's not going well" (paraphrased)

If luke'd please ignore/

Fincher is '13 isn't he? Also saw that picture.

it'd be nice if the reason no one recruited him was because he's a qualifying risk instead of because he can't shoot and doesn't have hands like a house.


just how unattractive to recruits does weber think kstate is?

So the rumor is that oscar sit well with both Kadeem Allen and Darrick Wood out of Hutch. So I assume they will replace Will and Omari. Leaving us with Shane's scolly to replace and most likely one runoff.

Seems like oscar wants to get real long wings. Everybody he recruits fits in 3 different molds.

1/2: Super faster point/combo guards,
3/4: Real long wings (probably to play the 3 and 4)
5: centers that can really bang (Not concerned about shoot blockers). 

This appears what he wants to build.

Allen is Legit.

Allen was 1st Team All-American, Jayhawk Conference, and Region 6.  He was POY and Freshman POY in the Jayhawk.

VCU was on him pretty good in HS, but people shied away because of grades from what I read.

Seems good?

Really, why is that? Is it because he had four star guys at Illinois?   I think it's exactly because of his past that he's scared of high profile recruits, because they didn't pan out for him at Illinois.  It's easy for him to say now he's going to focus on guys that fit his system rather than high profile four and five star recruits like he did at Illinois.  That way when they fail he won't look so bad. 

But this is really just my opinion.   I admit I could be wrong and I'm biased because I think he's going to ultimately bring K-State back to the Asbury days.

He plans to cut his list down to around 10 at the end of July before taking his official visits, committing and signing in November.

After we fill this last ship that will be 9 scholarships given out by Weber without a single top 150 player included.  People like to compare Weber to Wooly but Wooly actually recruited way then this especially early on before it became apparent he was a loser.  Hell even Clint Stewart and Curtis Allen were top 150 players.   This is the worst recruiting KSU has seen since the Asbury days.

Another who showed promising spurts was Michael Gilmore. The 6-foot-8 post player is quick, bouncy off the floor and looks like he can shoot it a little bit. If he can be a pogo stick type around the rim who runs the floor and makes some shots, he could end up in the discussion for national rankings in 2014.

should rename this thread "Haterz get clowned" because that's what's happening here.

oscar should probably be accused of not playing fairly with the other coaches in the b12.

he obviously has enough tape on this recruit (and likely many others) that other coaches/recuriting gurus don't have access to.   but it is sad to see his own fanbase question his tactics when those very tactics are proven to win big 12 titles + big 10 titles, as well as an MVC title also.

There was a pretty adorable JYC video, where they asked the players if they could be (have?) any kind of animal, what would it be? Lu Colon not only wanted to be (have?) an elephant, but he said it in a super-adorable way.

Will go to ISU.  I mean, that kids pic shouts "Iowa".

Who on Hoiberg's roster does this kid resemble? I think you're confusing Hoiberg with McNeck. ISU hasn't offered this kid, his pic shouts "Drake."

I mean that he looks like pretty much every Iowa resident that I have met, not that he looks like a current isu player.    Just profiling a little here.

Well, yeah, he would go to ISU the second Hoiberg drops an offer. Just look at the kid.

He just isn't a candidate for one of the Mayor's cabinet positions, though.

FIFTEEN TOP UNRANKED PROSPECTS

here are still a few major events on the schedule before the 2014 Rivals150 gets revamped before July's live period, so there is still time for prospects to play themselves up, into or out of the rankings. In preparation for that rankings update, we've started to take a look at the rankings, and through almost two months of the grassroots circuit 15 unranked prospects have made us take notice. This doesn't guarantee that each of these guys makes the next set of rankings -- and there are others in contention as well -- but they are very much on the radar and under consideration.

Kansas State, Oklahoma State standing out for Burton
Another player who has blossomed over the past couple of months is Joe Burton, a 6-foot-5 small forward from Lutheran High North (Texas).

Burton has a solid body and is effective at scoring in the mid-range and from the perimeter. He can create matchup problems for opposing defenses, and he's too strong for two-guards, and can drag bigger players to the perimeter.

Right now, Kansas State and Oklahoma State are making the biggest move for his commitment.

“I love coach [Chris] Lowery from Kansas State. He's a real good coach,” Burton said. “I haven't taken my visit down there yet, so once I do that, I think I'll have a better relationship with the coaches, players, staff and stuff.”

He plans on also checking out Missouri, Oklahoma State and Western Kentucky in the next couple of weeks.

014 Big 12 recruiting primer
How each Big 12 hoops program is shaping up heading into the 2014 cycle
Updated: June 20, 2013, 1:39 PM ET

With the new ESPN 100 player rankings out, and as the 2014 basketball recruiting cycle picks up heading into the July evaluation periods, here's a look at how each team in the Big 12 is shaping up in the 2014 recruiting class. Team-by-team recruiting capsules for the Big Ten are already out, while Pac-12 (Wednesday), ACC (Thursday), SEC (Friday), AAC (next Monday) and Big East (next Tuesday) will be coming in subsequent days.



Note: Teams are as of conference alignment for the 2013-14 season.



Baylor Bears
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: It's a pretty ambitious wish list at this point, given the competition. But credit coach Scott Drew, who has his program in with elite prospects like point guard Tyus Jones, center Myles Turner, center Jahlil Okafor, shooting guard Justise Winslow, point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, shooting guard Rashad Vaughn, small forward Malik Pope, small forward Kelly Oubre, power forward Leron Black and small forward Leon Gilmore. More than anything, this program needs a stabilizer at the point.

Storyline to watch: The best player the Bears have a shot at is Mudiay, the nation's No. 5 overall recruit. Everybody knows Kentucky has him targeted as its No. 1 point guard option. Can the Bears best the NCAA's biggest recruiting power?

Bold prediction: I'm not ready to say they're going to get him, but I bet the Bears wind up being one of two programs in the end for Mudiay. They've been right there the entire time, and despite, the traffic they aren't going away.

Overall recruiting trend: At this point the trend is even, but there's a reason. The Bears were coming off the highest recruiting peak of their program a few seasons ago, so naturally it would be difficult to maintain. To their credit, the bar was raised higher than ever with some elite classes. Baylor's 2013 class was good, and 2014 will be the true predictor.




Iowa State Cyclones
Who they have: Fred Hoiberg picked up his first 2014 commitment back in December 2012 when three-star point guard Clay Custer gave him the thumbs-up. Custer is solid, not spectacular, but gives the Cyclones a feisty floor general with something to prove.

Who they want: First and foremost, they want No. 11 recruit and No. 1 shooting guard Rashad Vaughn. The list also includes power forward Reid Travis, power forward Abdul-Malik Abu, power forward Paul White, power forward Jaylen Johnson, shooting guard Jared Terrell, center Quadri Moore and point guard Kevin Zabo. The Cyclones need more frontcourt pieces and would be unlikely to turn down a wing scorer as well.

Storyline to watch: The guy Hoiberg has been after the most has been Vaughn, a Minnesota native. Remember, Hoiberg played NBA ball in Minnesota for the Timberwolves, so there's a connection with Vaughn's home state. ISU lost an assistant who was valuable to Vaughn's recruitment, so we'll see how it plays out.

Bold prediction: The Cyclones have tapped into the New England pipeline for a smattering of good players this decade. I say they do it again and come up with Terrell, an ESPN 100 scoring guard out of Brewster Academy (N.H.), a program that has been good to Iowa State before.

Overall recruiting trend: Coming off the 2013 class (which included a pair of ESPN 100 talents in Matt Thomas and Monte Morris) and adding Georges Niang the year before, the Cyclones are on an uptick.




Kansas Jayhawks
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: KU has targeted seven of the top 15 prospects in the nation in center Jahlil Okafor, power forward Cliff Alexander, point guard Tyus Jones, point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, power forward Kevon Looney, center Myles Turner, shooting guard Rashad Vaughn and shooting guard Justise Winslow. Point guard Josh Perkins is heading toward being a priority recruit. The Jayhawks also have interest in small forward Kelly Oubre, center Elbert Robinson and many more who will be evaluated in July. Remember, Kansas didn't begin recruiting Thomas Robinson until this exact time of his high school career.

Storyline to watch: It's easy to see that KU wants Winslow, Jones and Okafor to package up and play in Lawrence together. Bill Self is a master at reading situations, so eventually he may sense the entire trio isn't ripe for the picking and he has to table the idea and pick just one or two. Kansas' entire wish list is so good that if the Jayhawks can land even a third of their targets, they could wind up with the No. 1 class.

Bold prediction: Here's one that hasn't hit the wire yet: I'll predict that Turner, the nation's hottest post player, picks Kansas. Self has a lot to sell to the burgeoning big, including development, distance and recent track record.

Overall recruiting trend: Up. Kansas is coming off one of the greatest recruiting classes in the history of its program and is in the midst of an incredible run of success on the court, highlighted by a steady stream of top recruiting classes.




Kansas State Wildcats
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: Last year, Kansas State addressed its backcourt needs, so we're thinking this time around the Wildcats would love to get bigger up front. This isn't a great class for bigs, so K-State needs sleepers or jucos. Speaking of jucos, guard Kadeem Allen is a priority. From the high school ranks, center Myles Turner, point guard Lourawls Nairn, power forward Mike Gilmore, small forward Jordan Barnett, center James Thompson, forward Malek Harris, center Matt Cimino and center Chinanu Onuaku should be noted.

Storyline to watch: oscar Weber has connections sprinkled through the various spots he's coached at in the past. K-State wants to keep that Illinois market open and is on the lists of kids like ESPN 100 point guard Larry Austin. Texas has also been good to the Wildcats lately.

Bold prediction: Weber uses his Illinois connection to land Harris, a four-star combo forward from the Illinois Wolves AAU program. The Wolves were a good source of players for him when he was at Illinois.

Overall recruiting trend: This staff is only in its second year and is establishing its identity. Compared to past Kansas State classes the trend is down, but it's an incomplete assessment at the moment.




Oklahoma Sooners
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: The Sooners do things their way, which is through evaluation and not reputation. They're chasing after ESPN 100 prospects like small forward Kelly Oubre, power forward Dante Buford, center Khadeem Lattin, small forward Victor Law, small forward D'Angelo Allen, shooting guard Dorian Pickens and small forward Joe Burton, along with four-star forward and fringe top-100 recruit Josh Cunningham. Oklahoma needs an infusion of talent -- the positions will sort themselves out.

Storyline to watch: There are too many players from the border state of Texas for the Sooners to not capitalize this season. The key here is to create a recruiting blueprint going into July and allocate time and resources wisely.

Bold prediction: I think Lon Kruger would feel good if this came to fruition: The Sooners dip into Chicagoland and obtain a signature from Cunningham, a fast-rising small forward.

Overall recruiting trend: The Sooners are even for the time being and have been the past few seasons. They need a jolt to get themselves back into the picture for top-50 talent.

ew seasons. They need a jolt to get themselves back into the picture for top-50 talent.


Oklahoma State Cowboys
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: What Oklahoma State would really like is a third season from Marcus Smart, but that's not happening. Top-10 center Myles Turner is a major target. Ditto for ESPN 100 prospects like small forward Kelly Oubre, power forward Craig Victor, power forward Paul White and center Elbert Robinson. Underrated forward Leon Gilmore is another name to keep handy.

Storyline to watch: Turner said earlier this month that he knew at least one of his official visits would go to Oklahoma State. The Dallas area has been fertile to Oklahoma State in the recent past (see Smart, Le'Bryan Nash and Phil Forte, to name a few). What if the Cowboys replaced the best guard in the country with one of the best big men?

Bold prediction: The Cowboys are well connected nationally. While it might seem counterintuitive, I'm going to predict that their first commitment does not come from a player in their natural recruiting region. Travis Ford is bold.

Overall recruiting trend: The Cowboys have been trending up since landing Smart in 2012, and his decision to come back for a second year certainly doesn't hurt. Now they have a big name nationally to use as their pitchman.




TCU Horned Frogs
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: Trent Johnson is not going to get too complicated here. What's important to him are coachable guys with character. You'll hear TCU in the mix with center Khadeem Lattin, shooting guard Dorian Pickens, shooting guard Nick Babb, small forward Byron Smith, point guard Kaleb Joseph and power forward Jaylen Johnson.

Storyline to watch: Johnson and his staff pulled a rabbit out of their hat last year when they landed ESPN 100 center Karviar Shepherd. Few saw that coming, and it turned out to be a watershed recruiting moment. In hindsight, Shepherd was the kind of player Johnson likes to target in that he had unrealized ability, wasn't the most confident of players and had the academics to make the transition easy. The TCU staff loves prospects like that.

Bold prediction: I'll go out on a limb. Lattin, another ESPN 100 big man, smells a lot like Shepherd last year. I say TCU winds up being a premier player for him.

Overall recruiting trend: No doubt this team is trending up. No one saw last year's class coming, especially on the heels of a conference changeover. The key for Johnson is maintaining the momentum from the strong 2013 class. It's an upward trend, but success can be fleeting for a non-power program.




Texas Longhorns
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: The Longhorns won't be picky about positions this time around, because they've suffered enough exits and transfers to warrant a reload. Center Myles Turner, point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, shooting guard Rashad Vaughn, small forward Kelly Oubre, shooting guard Ahmed Hill, center Pascal Chukwu, center Khadeem Lattin, shooting guard Jared Terrell, center Elbert Robinson, forward Joe Burton, point guard Alex Robinson and center Omar Sherman are worth noting.

Storyline to watch: Texas needs to take back its own territory. That means mining the areas of the state that have been good to the Longhorns in the past. There were four McDonald's All Americans from the state in the 2013 class, and none picked the Longhorns. That trend has to change with this class.

Bold prediction: The Longhorns rally around Turner and put everything they have into recruiting him during July. He fits the profile of the type of player they want at their school. I think he becomes their all-or-nothing big name in this class.

Overall recruiting trend: Currently, it's trending down. We covered UT's difficulty with in-staters in the 2013 class, but this is a proud program with a decade of significant recruiting history. Texas needs to be prominently mentioned with the big recruits again.




Texas Tech Red Raiders
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: Tubby Smith wouldn't mind getting heavily into the mix with shooting guard Nick Babb, center Jacob Hammond, power forward T.J. Maston, small forward Devin Wyatt or any late-blooming Texan who bursts onto the scene in July.

Storyline to watch: Let's not kid ourselves, Lubbock has been a difficult place to recruit high school kids to no matter who the coach has been. Given the circumstances and state of the program, this is a successful year if Smith and his staff lock in on a few guys they evaluate to be beneficial to the program and go from there.

Bold prediction: I think the bulk of the recruits in Texas Tech's 2014 class will be non-Texans. In order to jump-start this thing, Smith is going to need to get creative. That means jucos and not battling the in-state teams for the best players.

Overall recruiting trend: It's been a downward trend the last few years. It's a difficult job in a tough league, and that's not changing. The only way to turn this around will be for the head coach to tap into the high school coaches in the state and curry favor with the teachers of the game.




West Virginia Mountaineers
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.

Who they want: This a team in need of better guard play. West Virginia stocked the cupboard with bigs in 2013, so we know what's on the table for this class. ESPN 100 guard Brandone Francis might be wishful thinking, but they're in the mix. Kevin Zabo is a point guard option. Other prominent names you'll hear mentioned include power forward Abdul-Malik Abu, small forward Terry Larrier, power forward Donte Grantham, shooting guard Khadeem Carrington, power forward JaKeenan Gant, small forward Marial Shayok and point guard Evan Taylor.

Storyline to watch: With so many bigs taking up scholarships in the 2013 class, the clear needs to be addressed are wings and guards. In recent years, West Virginia has rolled the dice on guys like Eron Harris and Terry Henderson with good success. Can the Mountaineers find a few more under-the-radar guys?

Bold prediction: West Virginia gets creative in its search for backcourt answers and taps into the junior college market for a guard or two who can come in and make an immediate difference.

Overall recruiting trend: We gave the Mountaineers a tremendous amount of credit for their 2013 class, so in that regard they're on the upswing. But the feeling is that right now they're even at best, and here's why. This time around they haven't been able to jump onto the lists of premier guards, and they need to get themselves into the market for some sure things.

Talent evaluator Kevin Desrosiers says - "Going to become a star player. Im calling it"

Coach Baller30Big broke it down thusly - "Love this kid's mid-range game, you don't see this too much in hs basketball where 3s reign. Attacks and finishes at the rim. PURE jump shot, and is an extremely underrated passer. Dude is fun to watch."

Recruiting guru Singingrox0987 recently gave this update on the recruitment - "Just as an update, he has about 21 Division 1 offers now!!! Many are from smaller D1 schools, but most prestigious are from Butler, Iowa State, Kansas State, Boston College, Florida State and Saint Louis."

There are a couple of other videos out there where he scored 39 against some team with the #1 player in 2014.

Again, no comment.

Guy on GPC says a Grandview kid named Tyrone Taylor committed to us.  Another mid-major guard.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/basketball/recruiting/player-Tyrone-Taylor-126845;_ylt=AphwDT3ItLZcsCqpjFI32lDfsJB4

He tweeted July 1.  "On my way to K-State" 


@tyrone_taylor21

Tyrone Taylor II ?@tyrone_taylor211 Jul

On my way to K-state

Quote
http://www.prepforce.com/user/Tyrone_Taylor

This article came out on him in March
http://ny2lasports.com/article_one.aspx?articleid=1276

  The 6-3, lightning fast point guard out of Grandview, MO has been
putting up some big numbers this year en route to leading his team on a
late-season 7-game winning streak and just a couple big games away from state
at the present.  Averaging, just over 19 ppg on the season with 5 assists
to boot, it is somewhat safe to say the Bulldogs go with how Taylor
plays.  "Like with the team, I started off a little slow, averaging like
15 ppg... but middle of the season I picked it up and I'm averaging 19.2 ppg
now and like 25 a game over the last 10 games... I'm kind of hot out here and
I'm getting a lot of attention here now," Taylor stated.  In that ten-game
stretch, Grandview is 7-3, with two of the losses being decided by two points.
Confident in his skills offensively, the 6-3 junior said his strengths right
now are definitely "my pull-up jump shot and my ability to create for my
teammates, also my quickness to the basket and I have a really fast first step,
but my jump shot I can shoot from anywhere on the floor, really deep or
mid-range." Taylor has dropped in more than 50 three-point baskets this year
and leads the district in scoring.

If Weber were able to land Macura, Mitchell, and Burton, that would be really great.  We don't need a PG in this class.

If we can run a couple of guys and get a big and the best player we can get, regardless of position, I'd feel really good about this class.

I give that scenario a 3% chance of happening, though.

At best we will be in Macura 3rd choice behind Minn and Butter (in that order). We have moved on to Troy Holston, who I think is a better player. Also we are sitting well with the two guards a hutch. This should be a 5-6 recruit class.

He's leaning on staying in state though and still hoping for an offer from Florida (close friend Michael Frazier plays for UF).  They're probably not going to offer him.

How do I know this?  My son and Troy are also friends and played against each other in high school.

I'm probably desperate at this point, but I'm willing to take anyone that's been offered by a competent program, and there's two others in that list.

Spring scarred me, sd.

this is basketball. we have minimal scholarships to give and giving them to shitty possibly medium recruits is not going to make us anything other than shitty and possibly medium.

247 Sports has him as a USF lean as of yesterday and today, and he's warm on Miami and USF.  He's "cool" on everyone else.

Which is consistent with what the poster said earlier in this thread, but we can just plan on moving on from this guy along with Mitchell.

I think oscar would have a really good basketball team if he could get a bunch of kids that are top 100-150 players. It doesn't look like he's capable of doing that though. So, we will suck until he's fired/retires. BTW, shouldn't it pretty easy for a coach who has been to the national championship game and just won the Big XII his first year in the conference to land some fringe top 150 players?

2014 Basketball Recruiting - My Take (LONG!!)   Reply
Hello all! Since I can't seem to sleep, I decided to share a few thoughts on K-State's 2014 basketball recruiting. And judging the way people have reacted towards some prospects and their quick decisions, I felt the need to share a little of what I know. Looking at the current roster and judging the trends of what the staff is looking at, I think we all can kind of see where they are wanting to go. They want an oversized shooting guard that can really shoot the rock and two post guys (one more of a stretch-forward and the other a shot blocker/rebounder) to fill out immediate needs for the 2014-15 campaign and beyond.

From everything that we see in reference to Weber/staff quotes from other stories as well as things I've been told, Jevon Thomas is the point guard K-State wants for the future. They like his leadership abilities, incredibly explosive first step and the overall nature of his game. Thomas has the capacity to be the guy to lead the break and get it to the athletic wings on his sides. He's been in Manhattan for quite some time now and I'm under the impression it's done nothing but benefit him. But as far as him being eligible earlier than that mid-December timeframe, I just don't see it. I know he was enrolled in 12 hours as a mid-semester enrollee and likely had a full load (nine hours) this summer to keep everything on course, but I believe, and I could be wrong, that won't be enough credits to make him eligible just yet. However, if he is able to qualify early and plays, he will be the guy. If not, he will be the guy when he gets eligible.

With that said, K-State was never really after Larry Austin. Like hardly at all. In fact, I'm really surprised K-State was even in his top four to be honest. So it's not, "Oh, Weber really missed out on that guy." For one, they didn't pursue him that hard and secondly, if Thomas is the guy they want and are comfortable with, why go get another point guard for 2014 when someone like Sedrick Barefield (who is a stud) is on the radar for 2015?

The case of Devin Mitchell is a little different, but it has a similar ring to it. Both parties were high on each other early when Mitchell was at his peak and playing to an elite level. But Mitchell's stock dipped during the July live period. He told me no newer or bigger offers came and that he really didn't play well at all. So he decided to cut his list. My guess is he commits to Alabama today. It's unfortunate he couldn't come on that unofficial visit this summer and that he somewhat fizzled out of K-State's radar towards the end in favor of Troy Holston, but it is what it is. However, the fact Holston cut his list so quick is a little bit of a blow. The kid was dynamite playing with North Florida Elite and is well on his way to being ranked. Frankly, Holston will probably rank higher than Mitchell when this is all said in done. He played that well in July. Mitchell played a lot worse.

I could type for hours and hours on this stuff and what I think will happen, but I will stop here for now and will write more when some of the other guys starting cutting their lists down. I just wanted to clarify with Austin and Mitchell that it's not K-State necessarily whiffing on these kids. There's a lot more to the story. And one last quick note, the team this year is going to be freakishly athletic and far different than the past K-State teams.

You say this, but take a few moments to actually look at the man and drink in the total personality package.  There's only so much Chet, ABIII and Lowery can do.  The recruits have to meet oscar at some point.  They can sell the crap out of his achievements, but they still have to overcome the man himself.  The oscar 22.

From an article on Monday:

Quote from: oscar
We raised the level of expectations (here, too).  We got some national attention.  A year ago we were just trying to get involved with any recruit.  We’re involved with top-25 kids now.  A year ago they wouldn’t even take our phone call.  Now they’re taking our phone call and we might even get a kid or two on campus — a top, elite kid. We feel good about it.

No one’s ever done it again, and I don’t know if anyone ever will. It’s a fun thing."

You want Gilmore, when the new rankings come out in July he will be on them. He would be a huge get and we have a 80% more chance to landing him then Turner. Turner is going to cut his list soon and it will be nice to know were he sits. Darrik Wood is the JUCO guy and I believe is a 3 for 3 guy and was a 4 star out of high school. Here is his rivals profile.

Quote
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Darrick-Wood-117237

So that would be 2 four stars in the class with a couple more spots available. Abdul Malik Abu should remain the staffs top priority he is the one of the elite guys the staff really has a chance to land. Joe Burton also moves up on the list another 4 star rated player.

Twitter, Abu is a frustrating loss because this cut would of meant a visit, he was an "elite guy". Class will probably look better on paper then last year class and will fill needs. It is going to be hard getting two guys better than Foster and Jevon. We will not get an elite guy in this class. 

Here is an re-order list of recruits we need to go after in priority.

1. Holston G
2. Devin Mitchell G
3. Michael Gilmore F (Has an official set up) will move into the ranking in september
4. Abdul Malik Abu F
5. Joe Burton G (Same AAU program as Westicles) current 4 star
6: Darrick Wood G (JUCO) former 4 star
7. Myles Turner POST
8. Tory Miller F (R) (KC Run GMC)
9. Kadeem Allen G (JUCO)
10. Ray Kasongo F (Same prep school as Jevon)
11. Matt Cimino F
12. Lourawls Nairn PG (Mokan, Not a need and really stiff competition)

Top priority recruit is 2015 pg Sedrick Barefield he is the first "elite guy" we should get a visit from.   


In bold is the best class I believe we can landed.

Eliminated by Turner and Abu tonight.


Link or GTFO!!!! Seriously, this would crush my soul and pretty much confirm to me that this class is going to be average at best.
Twitter, Abu is a frustrating loss because this cut would of meant a visit, he was an "elite guy". Class will probably look better on paper then last year class and will fill needs. It is going to be hard getting two guys better than Foster and Jevon. We will not get an elite guy in this class. 

Here is an re-order list of recruits we need to go after in priority.

1. Holston G
2. Devin Mitchell G
3. Michael Gilmore F (Has an official set up) will move into the ranking in september
4. Abdul Malik Abu F
5. Joe Burton G (Same AAU program as Westicles) current 4 star
6: Darrick Wood G (JUCO) former 4 star
7. Myles Turner POST
8. Tory Miller F (R) (KC Run GMC)
9. Kadeem Allen G (JUCO)
10. Ray Kasongo F (Same prep school as Jevon)
11. Matt Cimino F
12. Lourawls Nairn PG (Mokan, Not a need and really stiff competition)

Top priority recruit is 2015 pg Sedrick Barefield he is the first "elite guy" we should get a visit from.   


In bold is the best class I believe we can landed.

Per one of the managers on last years team, oscar thinks of himself as an elite coach. So it is possible that if a perceived better job comes along, he would apply. Who knows, maybe there's a stupid enough AD to hire him.  :dunno: Not likely, but a 1% chance.

(Also, he confirmed for me that Angel HATED oscar and the whole family thing was bullshit to cover it up. Says oscar is not well liked by the players and no one takes him seriously)

A player that ends up as a 1st team all conference performer. So either a top 15 recruit or a 4 star that gets better every year until he hits an elite level.  :dunno: Their are studs NBA prospects that are never college basketball studs, I don't want those type of players.  For example I don't want Leonard Myers, his talent out weighted his production.

I don't have a specific kid in mind, but I want a kid that in a year or so will be announced before the team name. 

For example:  "don't miss tonight's match up of Rodney McGruder and his Wildcats against the (insert some paroled drug kid without support system) and the Kansas Jayhawks"

Our team doesn't have that name right now.

Meyers Leonard Stat Summary:

Season   GP   MPG   PPG   FG%   3FG%   FT%   APG   RPG   BPG   SPG
2011-12   32   31.8   13.6   58.4   9.1   73.2   1.3   8.2   1.9   0.5
2010-11   33   8.2   2.1   48.3   0.0   70.6   0.2   1.2   0.4   0.2

He would have been outstanding last year had he stayed.  He also would have been much more productive not being wasted his freshman year by oscar and then being coached his sophomore year by oscar on a shitsack oscar team.  oscar doesn't do crap for big men.  He doesn't know how to best utilize them and he doesn't know how to develop them.

There isn't a non-tuck board.  They are all rough ridin' terrible.  I just get info.  There's nothing to be gained by interacting with them.  IllinoisLoyalty banned me a long time ago.  Very tuck.  Big everybody be nice to everybody circle jerk.

That's kind of what I gathered.  I think I posted on illinoisloyalty when i decided to come here.  i told them i was emaw and i was excited about a football program with new uniforms and junk and they gave me the old "we need to quit worrying about uniforms so much and focus on winning football games!"  i never posted there again.

this thread is probably the best Illinois-related bbs in the history of the internet.

Yes.  Illinois doesn't have a football program, so I'm wide open there.  I think you're going to like Groce.  He's turning out to be a bit of a stud.  Early returns are promising.  "We" (me and you now) have Quentin Snider (pg ranked in the low 30s by all services that I'm aware of) for an official visit this weekend (today in fact).  He just came off an ov to UCLA last weekend and then changed what was an unofficial visit to Illinois on September 27th to an ov to Illinois this weekend.  Could be good news.  We shall see.  Then there's the slight possibility that we could still land Cliff Alexander, stud of studs, which although remote remains on the table.  Get excited, friend.

The tuck always assumes the reason another program is better than his is because it's cheating.  His program, while losery, is at least honorable.

Maybe oscar is in a bind, because he's way behind, so he's looking to make a deal?

If Weber were able to land Macura, Mitchell (Alabama), and Burton, that would be really great.  We don't need a PG in this class.

If we can run a couple of guys and get a big and the best player we can get, regardless of position, I'd feel really good about this class.

I give that scenario a 3% chance of happening, though.

At best we will be in Macura 3rd choice behind Minn and Butler (in that order). We have moved on to Troy Holston (South Florida), who I think is a better player. Also we are sitting well with the two guards at hutch. This should be a 5-6 recruit class.

Michael Gilmore returns from Visit: By Jamie Shaw
http://verbalcommits.com/blog/michael-gilmore-returns-from-visit

"Kansas State has yet to receive a commitment from a player in the 2014 class, but is in the game with players like 7'0 Pennsylvania Center Satchel Pierce, 6'5" Ohio Shooting Guard Javon Bess, and 6'7" Colorado Wing Ronnie Harrell."

Satchel Pierce (previously mentioned)

He changed his strategy by offering very early.  He got them to commit early and then held on for dear life.  He also focused on in-state talent that the big boys weren't after.  He accepted that those battles were a waste of his time.  The focus was guys in the four star 30-100 range, usually back 50 and of course back filled with a few meh three stars.  Most importantly he added Howard who the youngsters loved.  Neither of them could construct a roster though.  Just chasing the recruiting ratings.  Recruiting to please fans and the administration oscar called it.  He claims he's learned his lesson tho.  Go cats.

oscar has decided to go after the low-hanging fruit in this class, but he's so damn short that he still can't reach them. After crying for awhile his best bud Gene Keady gave him a cup of chicken nuggets and told him to just pick up the fruit that is rotting on the ground. I guess it's better than not being able to field a team, maybe. I don't see Wichita St. fans too sad during football season though.

A really good basketball player.  How does he rank in this category?

just based on purported offers and stuff, discounting slightly for being a juco, i'd consider him weber's second best recruit - if they do get him.
Weber's Recruits
Tier 1: JT
Tier 2: Foster, Edwards and maybe Hurt

Westicles is a wildcat, if he develops a shot he should be reevaluated as a tier 1 recruit.

Michael Gilmore returns from Visit: By Jamie Shaw

"Kansas State has yet to receive a commitment from a player in the 2014 class, but is in the game with players like 7'0 Pennsylvania Center Satchel Pierce, 6'5" Ohio Shooting Guard Javon Bess, and 6'7" Colorado Wing Ronnie Harrell."

Satchel Pierce (previously mentioned)

Two things of note:
1) He might have a little thug in him
2) This video shows a lot of moves with no finishes

Ronnie Harrell, a 6-foot-6 guard from Denver, has committed to Creighton, a person with knowledge of the situation told The World-Herald.

I'm excited about this kid. He isn't elite, but he should match up well with the puds in the Big XII. We still need a wing in a very bad way. If oscar can find one of those, I will have to prepare myself for the long road to mediocrity, instead of the skydive without a parachute I thought I would have to take.

There are multiple articles out there about Hurt being offered and taking an unofficial visit to IU then deciding against taking an official and cutting them from his list. He was offered by them on his unofficial visit. The same with Tennessee, offered on his unofficial but he cut his list to the 3 you mentioned.

So what's the talking point on how he's doing it? Self/KU/Phog is so awesome that it doesn't matter how much Cal is paying them?

Word is that UK offered Oubre's dad $150K to steer him to UK.  Oubre didn't know about it until Sunday, and he was so pissed that his dad was trying to manipulate him that he decided to drop UK out of spite and go with his gut on KU.

Yeah, KU does do it differently than most other programs because you know you can get away with more.   

KU literally had people sent off to Federal Prison on a BASKETBALL ticket money laundering operation and as far as we know, the NCAA never formally inquired about it all.   That happens at Fresno State and the entire fleet of NCAA jets is on the way in hours.

KU always manages to have some sort of family connection on the team and on the coaching staff.   Absolutely perfect money funneling; that can be denied and  :dunno: all day long and twice on Sunday.    KU basketball also does a fantastic job with agents. 

Of course you're gonna mention Beasley, and bro I can tell ya, the NCAA literally pounded the streets and knocked on doors trying pin something on K-State, they just got stone walled.

Getting rid of some non recruiters(Manning, and now Dooley) has to help KU's recruiting.  Also, Cal has not had to "go the extra mile" in quite sometime, he has created a self fulfilling monster at UK. 

There is also the fact that Bill is a better coach than Cal (I love Cal but he has much lower lows than Bill).

Scratch Bess off!

------


Bess had some good things to say about his KSU visit, and as mentioned above, our staff is still going strong after him, would be great to see KSU land him. Thank you Brian Snow:

Three-star small forward Javon Bess is coming off of one official visit, and now a second one is set up. For Bess his recruiting process is beginning to come to an end, and a decision doesn't seem too far away.
This past weekend Kansas State had Bess on campus, and the 6-foot-5 small forward said it was a great time.
"I took my official last weekend," said Bess. "I liked it a lot, it was nicer and better than I expected. The campus is beautiful and the academic advisor seemed nice and knew what she was doing. The arena and all of the facilities were nice, everything was real good."
Before checking out K-State, Bess took an unofficial visit to Michigan State, and another trip has already been set up.
"It went pretty good," said Bess of his unofficial to East Lansing. "I didn't get a chance to see a lot like I got a chance to see at Kansas State which is why I planned an official visit up there this weekend."
He continued about the Spartans, "When I went to Michigan State before I just got to talk to the coaches and see practice. So on my official visit I will get to see everything."
Along with Kansas State and Michigan State, Dayton is firmly in the mix for Bess, and the Flyers have done a very good job of recruiting him.
"I have a great relationship with all of their coaches and they have seen me the most so that means a lot to me," said Bess of Dayton. "They know what I need to work on and what I am good at."
For now Bess says those are his main three schools, but he hasn't quite completely closed things off to those three schools.
"It is kind of just those three, but Indiana has also been calling some, but for right now it is those three," said Bess.
He continued, "I have been talking to Indiana a little bit, but the process is coming to an end. If they offer then I will figure it out, but for right now it is Michigan State, Kansas State, and Dayton."
When it comes to a decision, the schools involved might not have to wait too much longer.
"I am not sure on a decision, maybe in the next couple of weeks," said Bess. "I just know I will be signing in the early signing period."

It's not like that at all. I don't know exactly who she is but she has on occasion accompanied players on Senior night. She was there when JOs mom was late, she also stood in for someone else recently, Curt I think.

emawblast you obviously know more about hoops than 99% of the posters on this thread but i'm going to be honest w/ you when i say that it's hard to fix a groiner, bro.  obviously you know that but are sticking with this groiner.  makes me wonder, did i miss something in my evaluation?  do i need to review the portfolio i have on this player? 

the answer is 100% no but who is to say what the future holds for this prospect?  me.  i make informed hypothesis's based upon the player portfolio that my team assembles. you go with a hunch.  i'll take my data heads up against anyone's anywhere.

6’7” PF Treyvon Andres of Jefferson HS 2014 (Colorado Hawks 17)
Andres is an athletic face-up four man who can be a difficult matchup. He can handle and pass it and gets to the basket on
the drive fairly well. He also shows the ability to post up some and has a nice jump hook. He is a capable rebounder and
defender who can block shots. Andres has mid major interest and will likely end up at that level.

SMU has been going hard after wood. Jevon and Wood know each other from New York. So does Fincher who is currently at Navarro College, not sure if he was a placement or not. Haven't seen anything on Allen. Woods would be a 3 by 3 guy and would add to the logjam of sophomores next year.

His other scholarship offers are from Chicago State and Houston Baptist.

Also, there's this from an article in April:

Harris said that New Jersey Tech and SIU Edwardsville both were planning to come take a look at him soon. Those are among the schools he is still communicating with and considering.

“I’m talking to a few schools,” he said. “Elon University in North Carolina. Northern Colorado. SEMO (Southeast Missouri State). Eastern Illinois. Northern Illinois. Quite a few schools right now.”

This kid has got to be the sixth or seventh shooting combo guard on the list.

His highlight video is basically him shooting threes.

So, we wanted a big, a stretch four, and a shooter combo.

I guess the kid from Sunrise is the next four on the list.

GPC has 2 pages about how this is an ok pickup because he's just gonna play behind Edwards, Foster, and our other young studs anyway.  I mean, I guess I see that point about depth, and at least he appears to be a competent  shooter.  But we went from targeting Javon Bess (who was already not a first option) to signing a kid who is seen as MAC level or below in a week.  :dunno: Just not a lot of positive spin left for oscar's recruiting.

He couldn't even pronounce Illinois when he committed and thought we had won a NC.  I'm not really that surprised.  UL is his dream school.  He only decommitted in the first place because he was afraid of the competition he was facing for playing time.  Would have been nice, but it was fool's gold for Illinois.  He's talented, but also appears to be an FP.  Still obviously would have taken.

Not good enough for the Breads.  Likes the bling too much.  Will go somewhere and fail due to not being a hard worker with the intrinsic values needed and not willing to commit.  Don't worry, he will end up transferring back in a year.

Bullshit daxi:  That kid is a canco fuckface.  I wouldn't be surprised to find out he steals and uses the drugs.  UL obviously paid he and his no class parents a bunch of rough ridin' money.  I also heard not only did Adidas get invloved, they had to to ultimately sway him.  I only want players that bleed orange and blue, not some hired mercenary drugged up and looking for his next rape.  Coach Groce does things the right way and I'll take that everyday of the week and twice on sunday over some jumped up punk thinks his crap doesn't stink.  Oh it stinks, it stinks plenty.  Good riddance.

Yeah what a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Dom was as JYC as they came. Stud boss. Just because he transferred doesn't mean he was a bust. :dubious:

Wow, relax peeps.  You guys are angry elves.  I was not suggesting that Dom was awful, I was suggesting that he was a 150 guy that didn't make it to the NBA.  In addition, there were some quality non-150 guys that did great things for our program.  I never suggested that our program should be okay with getting kids outside of the 150.  I only used our team as an example since this was a KSU board.  The overall point was that rivals 150 really is not a good measuring stick for NBA success.  The list was merely a small sample size to illustrate its not an exact science.

Agreed.   :cheers:

Obviously I'd prefer to consistently get 150 guys rather than rolling the dice and hoping a few non-150 guys pan out.  More often than not, those 150 guys have the tools to be successful at the college level and that is the type of recruits we should be aiming for.  Obviously. 

But that being said, I don't automatically think that all non-150 guys suck, nor do I think all 150 are stud bosses.  Just to be clear, for the record, I'd rather think 150 guys are not stud bosses more often than thinking non-150 guys don't necessarily suck.

I think you guys are giving Jack Krap way too much credit.   We've had tons of shitty scholarship players. I'm not saying that Jack won't one day be mentioned alongside those guys but I want to see him earn it on the court before we just anoint him the WOAT.

Jack Krap is the absolute worst because he's a living example of oscar Weber's complete incompetence on the recruiting trail.

He's basically Alex Potuzak from Clay Center and his praying mantis-like limbs and horrible basketball skill, except he's not a walk on.

He literally picked Orris over Gray. It doesn't get worse than that. That being said, I think we were overly tough on Mike, likely because of the Gray thing.

Well that's just stupid Wet.  The point being that saying Weber's recruiting is "complete incompetence" when the recruits he has brought in, except Orris, are as significant contributors as the Jrs & Srs he didn't recruit, is just a blinded by hatred comment.

It says as much or more about the juniors and seniors left in the program as it does the newcomers.

All the good players at this point have transferred (if they had options) or have graduated.

Foster is a special talent and will be a four year stud and Westicles is decent.  Aside from that we have zero size and no true point guard, both essential components when competing in a BCS league.  And the residual effects of throwing away at least one scholarship per class because of recruiting failure is going to catch up.

I think the LBSU game was a step forward.

I will continue to contend that a key for this team until Thomas is healthy (and probably after Thomas is healthy) is 15-20 effective minutes from Nigel Johnson at PG. It would be nice if he'd hit a shot, but his assist rate per 100 is pretty solid so far. But him doing that helps Will and Shane be better IMHO.

he's got a good handle and good quickness.  if he isn't asked to score, he won't have any problem bringing the ball up the court and then moving it.

nice reactions on defense, too.  just so small (and apparently no j).

Yeah, listed at 6-1, but he's obviously not. His shot doesn't look terrible, I'll give him the early season FR excuse for a few games and he clearly doesn't lack the confidence to shoot it. I think with his quickness he can manage some minutes in Big 12 games.

Nigel has really good length so his height isn't a problem. Nigel was a chucker chucker in high school, he can shoot I think his miss the rhythm of shooting all the time. He will makes shoots eventually.

I missed this in the KC Star last week about Marvin Clark:

Quote
Watching Thursday’s game had to be an interesting experience for Marvin Clark, a 6-foot-7 forward from Bel Aire who plays for Sunrise Christian Academy and the MoKan Elite AAU program.

He watched the action from behind K-State’s bench and was technically on an unofficial visit to the school, but he is also considering Mississippi.

Before the game, Clark said he will visit Ole Miss in late December and then make a decision between the Wildcats and Rebels. He also said Thursday’s game would have minimal impact on his commitment. He took an official visit to K-State before the season. He is considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.

Kenny Chery, Baylor: Baylor’s frontline looks awesome, with Isaiah Austin, Cory Jefferson and Rico Gathers all back in the fold. The backcourt, on the other hand, will be the big question. Pierre Jackson and A.J. Walton graduate. Deuce Bello and L.J. Rose transferred. That leaves a hole for Kenny Chery, a product of State Fair Community College (Mo.), to fill this season as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Jackson, who went from being a JuCo transfer to a first-team all-Big 12 performer.

Harris has been doing Tre things, shooting the cover of the ball. It appears he is around about 15 points per game for the 2nd ranked NextUp Top 10 national poll team. If you look at the individual game recaps he seems to always be hitting a crucial three.

http://www.fishburnepgbasketball.org/scheduleresults/ (http://www.fishburnepgbasketball.org/scheduleresults/)

If conditioning is still an issue after being on campus for over a year without being able to play a game by the time he is actually eligible to play, that is a coach/staff issue.

IMO having someone else who can consistently hit his open looks is probably the 2nd biggest need of this team besides interior size.

Slasher, shot 44/164 (27%) from 3 in 2 seasons at Maine. 

We need to hope he getting up thousands of shots a day and shoot in mid 30s next year, especially if we try to play lineups with two out of Gip/Hurt/Bolden on the floor often.

His ranking should go down. He forget to grow that last couple years. He isn't athletic enough to play D1 effectively at his size. I don think he a top 3 player in Kansas this year.

2. Marvin Clark 6-7 SF/PF - Really want to land him, think he could end up being a really good player.
3. Bakary Konate 6-11 C - Wish we were recruiting him, got to give instate size a chance.

Believe the staff prefers Marvin Clark. Clark also has better offers then Cimino. Clack issues was he broke his foot last summers leading to a lower/non-ranking. Besides that I would look for Krap to get Bruced and for us to go hard after a graduate transfer to balance out scholarships.

Great athlete, high motor. Decent with the ball in his hands getting to the rim, not so much a creator. I at one time compared him to Lance Harris but that isn't fair because Lance was a much better shooter. I suppose he could develop into a better shooter but that is pretty rare. I'm not sure that K-State has had a player like him in the last 15 years. I will be interested to see how he will be as a defender, he has the physical tools but the Big 12 isn't the America East.

Not as strong as either actually not strong at all. He plays above the rim, but he should have an easier time getting to the rim in a half court set than Dom. Edwards won't break down anyone with his dribble but should be able to shoot gaps at times.

For the 10,000,000 and hopefully last time it was not Bolden it was Edwards. Bolden was there but didn't say a word, it was Edwards and Shane acting like idiots. I don't know if he was drunk, like seemingly everyone else there but me, or trying too hard to fit in because he had been in Manhattan for like 48 hours, or if he's just a crap head I don't know or particularly care. It's frowned upon to loudly interrupt the conversation of people you don't know and then repeatedly shout "my nigga" while laughing like a moron.

K-State has given some serious attention to JUCO F Willie Atwood (6-8) he is a physical forward that has put up some serious numbers.

From Jan 10
Quote
@JucoRecruiting: Willie Atwood (6-8/F/2014) of Connors State finished with 29pts/11reb yesterday in a win. Had Wichita State, SMU and Kansas St in to see him

I wouldn't be surprise if this ends up being a 5 person class. If the staff believes Atwood is better then DJamer, I could see DJamer moving on as our roster passes his talent level. Also, think it is safe to assume Jack Krap is gone. The 5th scholarship needs to go to the most talented transfer we can find, hopefully an immediately eligible senior.

Quote
Willie Atwood, a 6-8 forward out of Connors State CC (OK), has seen his recruitment pick up during the second half of the season. Atwood, a Memphis native, has a mixture of mid and high major interest and offers, with more coming in daily.

He is currently 16th in NJCAA D1 in points per game at 21.1, and 33rd in rebounding at 9.3 per game. Atwood is shooting 58% from the field and 78% from the free throw line.

Post players are always in high demand, especially when you get past the November signing period. High school bigs are usually gone and many coaches go the JUCO route to find the best available unsigned prospects to lock in for the April signing period. Here is a look at who has offered and who is showing interest. Many of the schools showing interest in Atwood are very close to pulling the trigger. These lists are in no particular order.

Offers: Wichita State, Marshall, Western Kentucky, Murray State.

Interest: Iowa, Kansas State, Arizona State, Gonzaga , Oklahoma , Oklahoma State, SMU, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Arkansas , UCF, Oregon State

Would love to land Clarke and Atwood to round out this class (I'm assuming that Jack Krap will be Bruced). That would make us deeper with quality talent than I can remember in my lifetime. Obviously not a lot of NBA talent, but solid Big XII basketball players across the board.

We're in on Atwood and Clark, maybe Atwood is a backup plan for if we don't land Clark, who knows? I feel like we're pretty set at 1-3 next year, but we need some depth down low.

Probably quite a bit tougher on Nigel having played early and then having his minutes slashed instead of never having the minutes to begin with.  I like him but we probably need to balance out our classes some so if he goes, I'll get over it pretty quickly.
Title: Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread
Post by: Belvis Noland on January 24, 2014, 04:19:51 PM
I liked Nigel pre-Thomas.  Post-Thomas, he does a lot more stupid crap on the floor, i.e. bad passes and turnovers. 

My theory - minutes are cut, so when he's in, he's pressing to make plays.  With Will gone, his minutes will jump.  But, i'm still not sold on him yet.

Michigan State is watching him this weekend and then most likely going to offer (He is a pretty good player, is under the radar because of his broken foot this past summer). Anyways, always thought Marvin didn't sign early because he was wanting for a big to come along in the spring. Lowery really needs to recruit the hell out of his mom now. I always thought he was ours if a big hitter didn't show up.

I don't think there is any other good high school wings available, It might be best to pocket this scholarship for a potential transfer or the JUCO Atwood who's recruitment is really heating up.

I think we will keep Jack for another year or red shirting him this year doesn't make sense. Might also be trying to make inroads in Cali. If we don't get Marvin then get a transfer and it is still a great class. If Hurt pans out you get a STUD and Trey had a role to fill because he can really shoot it and we are loaded at guard for the next 3 years.

That's my feeling as well. If it was a mistake to redshirt Jack K this year, then oscar shouldn't have brought him here in the first place. oscar's first loyalty needs to be to K-State, and if he can replace him with a better player this year or the next, then he needs to do so.

Dusan Ristic and Marvin Clark are announcing their college choices on Saturday at 2:00 before Sunrise Christian Academy's game.

Well, he was accurate on his timing.  He said that he'd make his announcement a week after his MSU visit, and if possible, he'd try to sneak in a mid-week to Indiana before then.

So, if I'm not mistaken, he was down to six schools: Ole Miss, KSU, ISU, MSU, Seton Hall, and Indiana.  He's been to KSU three different times that I'm aware of:

* Madness in Manhattan (10/25)
* Ole Miss Game (12/5)
* KU Game (2/10)

So, I guess if the MSU visit was that impressive to him, and he wanted to commit then and there, that's fine, but it seems like he's been on this timeline for a while now.  We've obviously been the one place he's visited more than anywhere else, so I'd assume that we have as good of a chance as anyone.

Probably because oscar has 2 point guards that he recruited that will both be just sophomores next year.

And if he plays the 2 we have our best player who will be just a sophomore returning and a guy who most people are saying will be the best scorer in the team who is a junior and people are struggling to find where he will play on the court, because we have a
6'8 wing player who will be a sophomore and showed signs of being an all big 12 player in the future.

Competition doesn't hurt, and I'm still not sold on Jevon after his freshman campaign. I think Nigel showed a lot of progression the last month of the season and set himself up to be the starting PG going into next season. Injuries, suspensions, transfers are all too common to not have good depth at the PG position..imo

So Izzo came out very publicly in support of oscar when Illinois fired him saying how it was unfair and a mistake and that Illinois should have been happy to have oscar and his results.  Now he is directly contributing to his possible failure at KSU by fighting over what are for Izzo table scraps.  What a fuckface.   :th_twocents:

if we are trying to recruit for just next year i.e. a 5th year senior type i think the priority is someone who can come off the bench and bang in threes from the corner.

if we are still trying to recruit for the future (non-Semi transfer), then a true freshman big who is willing to red shirt should be the goal.

I'm honestly not sure. In my mind I'm picturing a bigger wing type, like Gilson Dejesus. #bruceketball works best with multiple shooters on the floor and besides PG development, that's probably my biggest concern for next year.

wes looks like rod did at this stage so im pumped about him, if nigel progresses he will be solid. need jevon to shoot better but i think our wings/guards can all shoot pretty good for freshman. go big now because we all see how important it was against good teams

Yep, Troy Holston would be an incredible oscar Weber player and would play behind Westicles day one. Hopefully it doesn't work out with him and USF new coach.

Obviously this is not a prediction of future success, but his vid reminds me of Jake as a high schooler. Good range, not afraid to pull the trigger, doesn't have elite quickness either, but he has a real nice crossover and seems to have a real good feel around the rim. There are worse ways we could use our last scholly.

Recruit a transfer or save it. At K-State IMHO we should be exploring transfers every year, especially since 40% of players transfer now in D1 basketball.

We don't need a 6'9 center for one year unless he wants to sit all year or we are scared DJamer is not going to be 100% and we want to redshirt him.

If we weren't willing to take Josh Gray, I'm thinking this guy may not be a guy our staff goes after very hard.

We took Jevon who had some troubles and signed Fincher who didn't qualify. I don't think the whole Angel, Orris and Gray Situation had much to do with Josh Gray. It had more to do with the staff scared of Angel leaving and knowing Orris was a sure thing.

We don't need Harris but he would be nice to have, so the risk isn't all the great but has good upside.

Yep, Weber is a pussy and the focus on Chicago is driven by boosters. The one AAU program Weber has land players out of Chicago is Illinois Wolves same program that Malek Harris is from. The Wolves are the blue collar AAU program for Chicago. A lot of Illinois fans/booster were upset with the lack of success oscar had with Mac Irvin Fire AAU Program, THE BLUE CHIP AAU PROGRAM.

Boosters were pissed because of the shitty basketball and the rough ridin' losing.  Of course they wanted better players.  Weber's recruiting in the beginning was bad.  He was getting his dick kicked off left and right irrespective of Chicago.  He had immense pressure to do better in recruiting period.  Chicago is just an easy reference point.  They did not care if oscar got Chicago players if he had been winning with downstate or out of state guys.  It's just another easy criticism.  It wasn't real though. 

Self and Kruger weren't locking down Chicago and everyone loved the crap out of them.  People love winners and oscar wasn't one.  It's just something stupid he tried to blame his failure on.  He just wasn't good enough.

Mr. Bread,

Plz tell your boosters and alum to force groce to schd a home-and-home with us. I think that would be really fun.

Thanks,

You wouldn't think it was fun if the cats lost and you'd act like a rough ridin' moron about oscar if they won.  There are more people I like here than I don't (at least that I pay attention to).  I don't think I'd enjoy it. 

Still maybe they'll meet in the tournament.  The committee matched oscar up with Kruger and Self his last trip at Illinois.

I can understand that take. It would be a similar feel to playing South Carolina. However, I don't think I like anyone from there.

Meh, Malek Harris looks about like all the recruits we're normally after. And his offers are in the range of an unranked 3* as well. I'm not completely unexcited, but just about as excited as I am when we land one of our normal recruits.

There's not much film on him at all. I'll just assume that most of the ranking services have seen him play and aren't completely off base. I think everybody of note has him as a 4* stud.

He will play when we need athleticism and length at the 4. As of now the best guy we have to guard a Hogue, Niang, Nash type of players is Bolden.  Unless we go small with Westicles.

Crystal Ball is starting to pick up heat. 2:1 for Kstate:VaTech.  :Woohoo:

I doubt recruits want to wait any longer to commit than they have to at this point, but I can also understand why it makes sense to wait. Kansas State is in a great position for Harris because the SF spot will be there for him regardless over the next few weeks. Even if Harris doesn't take the offer, State still has proven stud/boss Westicles (I really, really want Harris to take it though). Buzz, on the other hand has a lot of pressure to shape up his roster fast, so waiting two weeks to set up a visit with Harris is odd. Since VT didn't offer as soon as TJ Lang decommitted a couple weeks ago I'm guessing Buzz is having a difficult time convincing his new bosses to offer a schollie, as at Marquette.

I like the fact that Weber and Currie are willing to actually get s*** done and offer a great athlete when others can't (or won't). Here's to hoping oscar breaks out his most special pack of Twizzlers tomorrow for this fine recruiting occasion. "It's a celebration"

The problem for some schools, and I believe KSU falls in this camp, is that at this stage in the game, there is a very strong prettiest-girl-at-closing-time effect in recruiting.  More prestigious schools suddenly become desperate to fill roster gaps and thus grasp furiously at the scraps left on the table.  If oscar manages to pull this off, it will be a noteworthy accomplishment.

I agree, I think that's why this situation makes State fans nervous. However, this may bode well for State too. If they're willing to work with kids with complicated pasts some more prestigious schools may get left out of the mix (VT btw is not a slouch institution), especially in crunch time if the coach has to spend time working over the AD/admin.

It'd be interesting to know what position oscar/Seth are recruiting Malek to play.

I don't necessarily think Wesley is set to move to the 4 next season since there will be so many options for size next year. The front court is going to be dynamic.

That said, I think Nino and Brandon are locks to play the 4 and Stephen is the only lock to play the 5. DJamer and Thomas will be able to play either and where they end up will be determined by how competent Brandon and Stephen are as players (and to an extent how well Nino turns it on. I think he will).

Given the fact that Wesley is a complete stud (I'm more excited to see his game than any other player next year) I think oscar will keep him at the 3 because he needs to be on the floor for 30 minutes (I think he will then move to the 4 only after Nino leaves). If Harris comes in next season I would see him playing behind Wesley at the 3 and them splitting minutes. Watching the little tape there is on Harris his game looks very similar to Westicles in the lack of perimeter shooting but who knows. The reason I liked Marvin Clark was his ability to shoot the ball, but if oscar & co liked Harris better it must be for good reason.

the staff may like Harris, but not sure what it has to do with Marvin committing to MSU

Yeah, my comment doesn't have anything to do with Clark having chosen MSU. I was alluding to a post someone made saying the staff has had a preference for Harris over Clark over this last year. I'm glad Clark got to attend where he wanted to and hope Harris wants to do the same for state. If he doesn't accept however I might prefer the staff holds onto the scholarship for next season. I think we'll look pretty good next season so we might be in a better position to pick up unique talent.

The problem for some schools, and I believe KSU falls in this camp, is that at this stage in the game, there is a very strong prettiest-girl-at-closing-time effect in recruiting.  More prestigious schools suddenly become desperate to fill roster gaps and thus grasp furiously at the scraps left on the table.  If oscar manages to pull this off, it will be a noteworthy accomplishment.
I agree, I think that's why this situation makes State fans nervous. However, this may bode well for State too. If they're willing to work with kids with complicated pasts some more prestigious schools may get left out of the mix (VT btw is not a slouch institution), especially in crunch time if the coach has to spend time working over the AD/admin.

So you are saying we need to shower him with the finest women KState has to offer?  Someone get on this

As of now, I don't think Westicles plays anything but the 3. There is no guarantee Thomas and Nigel get 40 min at PG. I personally think right now they get 30 combined and Foster/Edwards/Westicles get 90 min.  My views can change as Nov gets here here and who we get.

Some juggalo named Drew Messmer on 247 Sports predicted Harris to Kansas State early this morning. Interesting b/c he correctly predicted Ahmed Hill and Satchel Pierce would follow Buzz to VT. Maybe he has a good feel for this recruiting situation?

I would think it would be unfair to think he's not going to at least visit the coach he committed to before. I'm sure he feels like he owes it to him.

Also, can we stop acting like our coaching staff didn't try to close the deal this weekend? I mean, good grief.

I want to say, the lack of committment shouldn't be very surprising as we were told Harris wouldn't commit this weekend anyways.

I agree that Pierce is probably basing his info on the lack of commitment, and I would expect more analysts to as well. Everyone is running off pure speculation. For instance, look at Devonte Graham's profile. As soon as he left KU without a commitment this weekend, the tide shifts towards NC State (my school. yay!).

Harris should select wherever he has the best chance to fit in and make an impact. Based on how badly Kansas State can use another wing and how volatile the roster is at VT, not to mention the huge degree of uncertainty Buzz is asking recruits to buy into, I think Kansas State should feel okay about its chances. Harris committed to Buzz when he was in his own back yard. He committed to Buzz before he had to watch Marquette have a crappy season despite having a loaded roster. It's not over until he signs the paper.

Not saying oscar won't land him (because I still think it's likely at this point), but I feel like most coaches try to sign players when they visit. Wooly and Prince both tried to sign top recruits on visits, I saw the latter in person. Trying is a terrible thing to judge on.

Is it possible former manager has friend working for basketball operations? Not everyone I assume burns bridges when they leave a program.  But I have zero clue honestly, id probably put a little more faith in him than a random blogger/twatter who throws crap out hopping it sticks.

I think the writer is confused. I'm pretty sure Fincher has to be in juco at least two years because he went there for academic issues. He mentions Bolden as a transfer but not Edwards so maybe he accidentally got Edwards and Fincher confused.

He's got his guys now, tho. EFF those rift rats from frank.  :Woot:
Frank left behind a roster with some holes in it, and even Will Spradling, but those guys were the rocks to keeping a program going when they could have just BID and gutted it themselves. Despite all of Frank's emotional abuse he left a core of guys willing to stick around and win a championship with better X and Oers at the helm. Frank will find success at SC, and the more of it he comes by makes all the jabs from the Kansas State fanbase look petty. Sorry to insert this crap into a recruiting thread but somebody needs to account for the good Frank and his players did, even if those same people are happy with Weber/not BID. Gip was the leader on last year's team, without leadership teams suck. Frank helped build that.

On an up note the Harris news is very welcome, he plays with urgency. It's worth mentioning that an offense can only run as quickly as its slowest player. With Spradling gone Kansas State will be entering some next level s***. Should be more exciting to watch assuming the PGs can really take care of the ball.

I was being sarcastic. Everyone knows where the core came from w/ Weber's success. It's just fun to jab at all the BID'rs who called #TeamWeberPeeps dumbasses for a whole year. The talking point was, we were mumped when franks guys were gone, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Shane and Will sucked taints last year for the most part. Weber's freshman last season were bonified studs.

No worries, dude. The BID'rs VS. Webberetts is a long lasting battle. It won't be over till he's gone. It's good for the board tho. Very entertaining.
Well maybe there's room for another yet to be named paradigm, neither pro Weber nor BID. Paradigm assumes the following:

1. Frank has a limited shelf life as a coach. Despite his success his persona will wear thin on any fanbase/administration in a matter of years. Will likely spend his career jumping ship every 5 years leaving programs in better shape with tougher players than when he arrived.

   i) It should also be noted that not every Frank team was the 2009-2010 team. The :love: on those teams were predominately Delonte's
players. Delonte left because he couldn't even get players to buy into Frank anymore, aka frank would never have another 09-10 team at kansas state ever again. That s*** sure was adorable though.

2. Following Franks departure, the Kansas State fanbase dodged a huge bullet during John Currie's "coaching search" (said search involved John locked in hotel room looking at... charts?). Weber seems to perform well when he has a good coaching staff with him. Adopters of this mindset may also be "totally cool" with Chris Lowery taking over as head coach should the occasion become necessary.

   i) For consideration: If Frank didn't leave behind tough, disciplined players bonded by their own love/fear of Frank Martin, would they be willing to band together and buy into the new, incoming coach?
   ii) Also for consideration: After witnessing the dodged bullet/lateral coaching move in the Mittie hire, do you really want to BID and let curry hire a new MBB coach? Better to let that son of a bitch raise money like he loves to then let him leave like he wants to when a larger school comes calling.

3. Be happy the program isn't even remotely in bad shape the way just about 60-70% of D1 programs are required to be by competition. Not every school can host competitive programs.

It looks like top 150, 3/4* Larry Austin (PG) reopened his recruitment yesterday by decommitting from Tennessee. oscar has been after him for a while so I'm sure he will at least be in his ear. If Jack gets Krap'd there's still room for one more.

I mentioned that earlier and everyone told me people had backed off him, oscar included, pretty early in the year. Maybe he wasn't as good as his stars indicate. I don't know, but it seemed pretty universal that we would not want him.

Austin has dropped in a lot of the rankings, rivals ranking is in the 130s I think that is about right. I think we should pocket Kraps scholarship. Might be a to get a better player that is a late or mid year qualifier.

What I'm worried about is that this may have been two desperate incidents occurring in both his junior and senior seasons as one Marquette fan pointed out. Or that it may have been related to beating up a girl.
He wouldn't be here if that was the case. Currie would make damn sure of it.

It seems pretty clear to me that its a substance/alcohol thing. Typical 3 strikes process that most high schools use.

If he beat up a girl he'd be at Ku already.

Nigel was better than Clent (any season) in nearly every per 100 category last year. Clent shot slightly better and rebounded (defensive) better, but that's it. Nigel will be a much better player over his career than Clent.

Owens is prob considering because
1. the staff is protecting itself against the event of MH breaking the verbal to sign with VT
2. Krap's departure is imminent, we just haven't heard about it yet

Shocked if JT is getting oscar'd as I think is being implied? Can't fathom it. Definitely can't fathom Brucing a PG for a PF

Mokan is as shady as it comes.  They played KSU so bad with Willie Cauley & Marvin - it's not even funny.
You're right about the Illinois Wolves and KC Run GMC - they both put out higher level talent on a more consistent basis - especially at the level of KSU.  Hope that article pushes kids away from the seedy nature of Mokan.

Enjoyed visiting with you yesterday ! Just wanted to reemphasize why I believe KState is the BEST situation for you - 1st - Staff - trust is so important ! You have been around us more than any other staff that is recruiting you - you know players that play for us ! 2nd - OPPORTUNITY - our need is a Forward that can play 3 and 4 - we have BIGs - we need to replace Shane - skilled and versatile ! 3rd - DEVELOPMENT - our staff Prides itself in skill development - and teaching players how to play ! When we arrived at KState they were at the bottom of almost every offensive category in the Big 12 - in our first season we became one of the most efficient teams in the Big 12 in FG% - 3PT% -and Assists ! 4th - future of the program - believe we will be a Top 25 - maybe a Top 10 program next sesaon and beyond ! Finally - a chance to play in your home state of KANSAS - allowing you an opportunity to NETWORK for your Future ! Join the KANSAS STATE Basketball Family - it is the BEST place for YOU !

Could not read the article with all of the damn Mr.'s.
