2011 Recruiting Thread

[yosh]

Curtis Kelly: 5-star big time high school recruit.  Goes to one of the most elite programs in the country and compete with future NBA bigs on a fantastic team.  Gets beat out for PT and is heavily recruited as a transfer.

Denis Clemente: former RSCI top 100.  Goes to mediocre program and makes immediate impact.  Starts numerous games as a freshman and sophmore and puts up solid numbers.  Gets kicked off for smoking weed.

Abdul Herrera:  Moderately recruited high school recruit.  Borderline top 150.  Goes to tradition rich program, but program was currently playing well below standards.  Gets freaking burried on the roster behind nobody in particular.  Does nothing.  K-State strings him along for as long as possible and brings him in when it's apparent that they have no other options.

Omari Lawrence:  (see Abdul Herrera)  (DO NOT see Dennis Clemente)  (See Curtis Kelly if your boarderline Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!))

yosh, i think i see the problem.  you're looking at a lawrence vs herrera/kelly/clemente comparo vis a vis how good they are.  that's not the issue at all, and is completely beside the point.

the comparo is about whether the staff is recruiting him as a 1 year stop-gap or not.

I look at Herrera as a guy with potential that had an history of being a lazy, underachieving POS.  The staff was giving him a chance to get it together, but it's was unlikely he would.  They didn't really have any other options with the scholly so why not?  I see Lawrence the same way.

Myles is more like Gilbert and Buchi.

OMG YOU GOT ME GOOD!

They didn't really have any other options with the scholly so why not?  I see Lawrence the same way.

but, that is not accurate.  w. herrera the choice was leave the 'ship empty or fill it with herrera.

lawrence is completely different because he has to sit out the year, and they aren't low on bodies or on 3s, so it's not like he's needed for practice.

so regardless of whether you take him or not, you get nothing in '10.  taking him is the equivalent of an '11.  the choice is take lawrence or take an '11.

Lawrence is much more like Clemente than Herrera IMO.  Herrera was Frank's boy, first kid he recruited to Cincinnati.  I really don't think that situation is comparable.  But a pretty talented kid who didn't completely fit at a lower tier bcs school is a major similarity between Lawrence and Clemente.  Now we'll just have to see if there is any talent there or if Frank gives him a shot.

yeah, I would hate  for them to piss off the staff and lose their access.  access to what, not sure.

also a guard so a higher chance he pans out.  he just has to lose weight apparently.

dax,

you do a very good job w/ this. very good. your biggest obstacle though (imo) is that nobody cares how much coaches get paid. i don't. at all. i personally wish that everybody on the staff made 8 billion a year each. or more if they wanted it. maybe rework your stuff to focus on the laziness and not the amount of money being made.

Daris . . . that's really the point dude.   I couldn't care less if they paid Te a million a year if he was out landing 4 and 5 star recruits.   But he's not.

Oh . . . another note, after watching 42's video.   I just want us all to take a moment of silence before we issue last rights for the palming/carrying the basketball rule.
