The College Basketball Post

If anybody cares, Dylan Ennis will be really really good at Villanova, he had a very good freshman season at rice, showing an improved jumper, very athletic, with good instincts on the pick and roll. A little Eric Bledsoe to him.


Canada has appeared to have made a serious mistake, taking Myck over Dylan, cause it looks like Myck can't play.
 
Myck was supposed to be that dude

he was good for those last few games with Texas, but they had no talent around him, but he was AWFUL in summer league.

At what point is Rick Barnes going to pay the price for bad recruiting decisions?


Cameron Ridley can't play, pappetrou might leave, guys transferring, highly touted prospects under performing consistently. I know he can coach defense but I think he can't even get Texas guys like Randle or Keith Frazier; who spurred him for friggin SMU

:{

couldn't make it deep in the tournement with Kevin god danm Durant. How long is he going to eat off of Lamarcus Aldridge and Augistine.

Or TJ Ford
 
Who is going to be the better pro between Andrew Harrison , Marcus Smart and Emmanuel Mudiay ?
 
Haven't seen enough of Mundiay... or Harrison to be certain... Marcus is going to be quite good though.
 
If i had to bet i'd put my money on Smart

And the Texas teams these past couple of years been struggling, had Myck playing with awful talent aground him...Seems like Rick Barnes aint even trying to recruit anymore
 
Definitely haven't seen enough Mudiay. Like Harrison, but want to see more of him too. 

Smart is hurting his draft stock already this summer with his bad jumper and turnovers. He should've took that money and ran.

I hear ya but I have a hard time blaming coaches when these "cant miss prospects" dont pan out or should have stayed another year. Rick Barnes brought in Hamilton, Bradley, Thomspon and Kabongo. All of whom left before they were ready. The program would be in a different place in they would have stayed even just one more year.
 
Cp3 elite camp is this weekend but i gotta work smh. Tyus and Quinn will be there. Haven't seen the full list
 
Lets be honest, we all have no idea whats going to happen, with Smart, Harrison and Mudiay.

Let em play some college games first.

Smart is an NBA product, but Andrew has to prove he's really a point, and prove that he has the makeup to lead a team.

All of them have glaring strengths but Andrew has the least amount of holes in his game at this point. Smart is an absolutely great defender and just a monster athlete. He has good form on his J but he doesn't hit it and he needs to cut down on the turnovers

Harrison has great range on his J, silky handle and good court vision. He also is great in the pick and roll at 18, finishes well at the rim and is a legit 6'5 215 so he can probably add another 10 pounds. He needs to work on his defense though and he isn't the fastest guy or the highest leaper but his skill set + size will allow him to cover for that with ease.

Mudiay is a stud, animal going to the rim and a lightening first step. His J is $ but he could improve coming off the dribble. Great passer, good in the pick and roll and is also 6'5 with a 6'8 wingspan and growing. He's also a very willing defender and had tremendous upside on that side of the ball, he has the most potential out of all 3 IMO
 
Blackmon decommiting is a huge blow. I'm in the majority of Hoosier Nation w/ the feeling that he is gone for good. damn shame. tho we have now offered a scholarship to Isaiah Whitehead.

If he's gonna do it, this is the year to do it. Our coach's (more recently) are saying he is looking a lot more confident on the floor apposed to last year. We have basically no experience in our front court now, so I'm hoping he continues to improve this off season, bc we are gonna need him. But he's got to want it. Hopefully Crean calling him and Hollowell out a few months ago lights a fire in them both to both want that.

D.C. Basketball Power-Broker Curtis Malone Charged in Drug Investigation
Posted by Will Sommer on Aug. 12, 2013 at 2:28 pm

For years, Curtis Malone has been the head of DC Assault, a powerhouse D.C. area basketball program. The success of Malone's players has given Malone a national profile, including status as a go-between between players and the colleges that want them and sponsorship for the program from Adidas.

Malone, it seemed, had come a long way since 1991, when he was convicted for distributing crack cocaine. But according to documents filed in federal court today, what Malone once called his "last life" isn't so far behind him.

Malone was arrested Friday in D.C. as part of a year-long DEA investigation. Agents who searched his home found what's believed to be kilo of cocaine, 100 grams of suspected heroin, a handgun, and unnamed items associated with heroin sales, according to court documents. Malone and another alleged dealer have been charged with conspiracy to distribute heroin.

^Was just about to post that in the NBA thread (since I don't really post in here)

For people who don't know, DC Assault is THE #1 presence for AAU ball in the DMV. They have a lot of power and anyone who wants to recruit in the area pretty much had to go to Malone first. This is wild but not really surprising, from my experience a lot of these coaches do dirt on the side

Yeah we all know about DC Assault. A lot of AAU coaches are shady as hell.
 
Remember...Gary Williams wanted NO part of anything having to do w/ Curtis Malone. It was well-documented how much he loathed the DC AAU circuit.
 
..which is why the Terps kept on getting embarassingly shafted by local recruits :{
