Nolan,

Re: Malik Newman
Not sure what's going on in College Station, don't really understand the sudden uptick in interest from legit prospects.

Nike and $EC are safe bets. 

 He hasn't hired any new assistants, right?

Pretty smart idea.

TAMU is Adidas. And yea, Kennedy dropped Cyprien and Reese and added Rick $tan$bury and Amir Abdur-Rahim. Apparently Newman's dad played for Stansbury at some point, so it sounds like that's the connection.

Kyle Keller has been putting in work with Tyler Davis and DJ Hogg though.

 

[al3xis]

Starting to look like Ivan Rabb is going to stay home and go to Cal. Likely to release afinal list this week.

 

[dacomeup]

Not sure why I thought you guys were Nike. But yea, makes plenty of sense with adding guys with specific ties.

Kentucky coach John Calipari finalizing unprecedented scouting combine for NBA personnel

University of Kentucky coach John Calipari is finalizing plans for an unprecedented two-day campus scouting combine for NBA executives to evaluate his star-laden roster of professional prospects, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Calipari has invited officials of the 30 NBA teams to send personnel to Lexington, Ky., on Oct. 11-12 to watch his players do everything from run full-court five-on-five and NBA-style pick-and-roll sets to individual skill work.

The event is a chance for Calipari to impress a throng of top high school recruits on campus visits and once again frame his program as college basketball's best NBA feeder system. Kentucky is expected to be a consensus preseason No. 1 in the polls.

After the combine, Calipari plans to shut out NBA executives and scouts from his practices for several weeks – perhaps even months – into the season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

This way, Calipari can avoid the distractions that a constant parade of NBA scouts can present to so many talented young players in the practice gym.

NBA personnel aren't allowed to interact with college undergraduates, but Calipari can simply shape his workouts to be conducive to the NBA's needs.

As one executive laughed, "We're just there as B-roll for his recruiting videos."

Calipari and his staff have been in contact with NBA executives on the format of the two-day event. Kentucky is expected to run double sessions of practice and workouts on Oct. 12 before closing off access to NBA teams for the foreseeable future.

Kentucky has a tremendous roster of NBA prospects, including five players in Draft Express’ list of the Top 30 prospects in the world. Freshman center Karl Towns (No. 3), junior center Willie Cauley-Stein (No. 10), sophomore center Dakari Johnson (No. 21), sophomore guard Andrew Harrison (No. 2, and sophomore forward Marcus Lee (No. 30) made the list.

Several more players, including sophomore Aaron Harrison and freshmen Devin Booker and Trey Lyles, are considered future first-round picks.

and people wonder why I wanna be like Cal when I grow up.

yep. dad played for him at MSU. has to be the reason he's showing interest in A&M. Malik isn't jumping like a lot of these other dudes but his jumper is money

BUT if you're a 5-10 kid, as long as you're in a power conference you're good.

BUT if you're a 5-10 kid, as long as you're in a power conference you're good. 

But why not just go there and know from the get go what to improve on throughout the year? If ur one and done, that's important.

 

[scuse7]

Hogg and Davis to TAMU? Jesus.

You can learn that anywhere. And would the scouts actually be able to tell an athlete that before the season is over? If you're good enough to know you are one and done before choosing Kentucky, you should be good. I'm sure you know that you can go to Kansas and get the same looks and same feedback about your draft stock.

A lot of Georgetown greats at the Thompson groundbreaking ceremony today. Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo, Porter, Green, hibbert, Monroe (sober), Sims, Jahidi White, even Providence coach Ed Cooley. Sucks only skal labissiere and Bryant Crawford are the only recruits on hand to see this, especially since Skal isn't coming to Gtown. And oh yeah this guy is here too....
