On the radar: 2012 Draft Class

Thanks for looking it up. Not sure exactly what was concluded, but at least it's empirical data.

Yeah, its hard to really make any firm answer from it. Most HS players taken though were all physical monsters. A good deal of the bust also include big men who never gained skill. I do appear to be wrong for the most part though. I thought I remembered there being much more bust from the HS picking era. I guess if you are evaluating top tier talent, accurate assumptions can be made from the HS level, as long as it's just not off of physical dominance alone? Unless you are Dwight Howard that is.

What year are you in at MSU? Only wondering if you ever watched Twanny Beckham.

Junior, he only got playing time my Sophmore year. Can't really say I remember too much about him. He only played in the non-conference games last year, was unspectacular.

Cool. I'm anxious to see Calipari work with a non-superstar (to begin with) and see what he can do. I'm a homer, but I admit I've been incredibly impressed with his teaching skills .. not just recruiting.

Isn't he like a senior by now? I don't think he red-shirted his first year.

Junior. Though he isn't able to play until after December (per transfer rules). Funny that Ryan Harrow also transferred into UK and was on NOBODY'S radar. Now, without even playing a game, DX has him projected to go lottery in '13 (10th).
