why the eff isn't kstate recruiting this dude?  i hate when i don't understand what's going on.

Dwyer is so physical. Half of Joell James fouls were felonies in any county but The District. When he hits you, it hurts.

Willie Cauley is amazing.. Was at his first game playing for Olathe Northwest when they played Olathe South. I heard Perry Ellis was really good too.

It does kind of matter...let's compare his HS #'s in (I'm guessing) 6A-5A KS bball to the numbers of what a Diaz or even a Colon did during their JR/SR seasons?  It seems that a lot of guys 6'10'' and above that we have recruited lately get the recruiting tags of "runs the court well", or "runs like a deer for a big man", or something along those lines. I mean, it's not a completely unfair comparison between Cauley, Colon, Diaz, and JHR.  They all basically were described the same by most scouting report garbage I read from Rivals before I quit wasting my money on GPC.  I'd just be interested to see if a guy like Cauley is putting up even close to JHR #'s in KS bball in comparison to NY HS bball (which is much, much more competitive).  If he isn't I'd defy you to name a big from KS that did anything besides waste a roster spot with those kinds of numbers. 

p.s. don't really know why I threw L.Colon in there but oh well

heh.  was totally going to attack you for the "colon runs like a deer" comment until i saw your p.s.


jhr didn't put up big numbers in hs.  lots of good bigs don't (i think cauley was actually pretty productive this year).  a lot depends on the structure of the team as well as their own skill level.  if you watch the game ar-t's team played against some hs in georgia for example, you'll see that haughton basically can't catch the ball and has no idea what to do with it when he does get it.  also his guards never passed to him (understandably).  still he's 16, 6'8"ish and moves well, he can learn the rest.  he also didn't look overmatched defensively against the big he was guarding, a top 25ish recruit.  i'd bet he'll be solid in college, and i'm sure his scoring numbers were nothing special this year.

i've always believed, especially with bigs, that there are guys that can get 10&8 against 1a, against 6a, against d3, against d1, or against nba talent.  essentially, they're limited by their own skill level, rather than the ability of the defenders they're matched against.

i mean, he doesn't put up GREAT numbers.. but have you seen ONW's team?? They're stacked.

Murphy update written on 3/28, no real major revelations here, just gives a little more clarity to who's actively recruiting him, how his HS season went, and confirms he'll be running AAU this Spring/Summer with the LI Lightning

http://www.nbebasketball.com/w3/2011-0328/kamari-murphy-looks-for-big-aau-season-before-heading-to-prep-school/

FWIW, NYChoops, ranked Murphy as the 9th best player from NYC in the class of '11(even though he has re-classified to '12)

Murphy update written on 3/28

sounds a lot like samuels?  good backup plan if 2012 elite recruiting falls apart?

[Underdog Wildcat]

Agreed on the Samuels comparo, I really HOPE the '12 elite big recruiting hasn't/won't fall apart, nothing officially says it has, we'll just have to wait and see.

On the Frank Martin recruiting priority big board, who ranks higher, Durley, Murphy, or Haughton*?

*Read some rumblings that Haughton has a lot of work left to qualify, might explain lack of much recruiting info out there on him
