    He’s committed to Lehigh, if that’s his best offer right now we don’t want him.

    For the most part, that is what got romar in trouble. It wasn't his top tier 1-2 players, it was the other 3 in the class that weren't pac12 players.

    Until hop proves he's peterson and can mold lesser players to be very good i'd trust who's recruiting you as a barometer on future success.

    All I know is this team has jack shit for a front court. J'Raan Brooks isn't gonna be a post presence in the Pac-12. HTH

    Since it looks like we're getting him, here's some highlights. As far as AAU videos go, this one's pretty good.

    Honestly not a fan. I've been wrong before. I'll point out that not all players are going to contribute on a 13 man roster soooo, why not? Anyone know if Ed Chang is going to be eligible?

    You guys are dumb he's a stretch 4 that can play down low and defend about as well as Dickerson. He's around Dickerson's size and is a lot more fluid athletically coming out. Not nearly as strong. He's footwork is decent down low. I see him more in the Bennie Boatwright mold a more perimeter oriented player and that plays to the new freedom of movement rules. He's good and will be good in college.

    He's a player you can win a national championship with if you properly develop him over 4 years. He'll contribute more than Hameir Wright contributed this year. I think Ham's ceiling is a lot higher in the zone though.

    I'm not saying don't take him, he's a good player. But stretch 4/SF/non PGs are a dime a dozen. We need a real PG and some post presence. Brooks is Darnell Gant all over again. I don't mean that as an insult. I liked Gant. He knew his role and he played it well. He's not a can't miss prospect though.

    I'm hearing that if his grandma visits, it's a guarantee that he'll be good
