Following 2016 potential draftees

Also pretty cool to see three las vegans in the top 10. A lot of local guys are geared back into UNLV these days after years of looking elsewhere. Don't underestimate the pride or parental pressure of staying home with any of these guys.

Not trying to start a pro meat vs no meat thing, but I have to think being vegan is not optimal for any athlete.

Meh. The top guys want OAD exposure at it's best. The allure of staying near home is minimal... until you get past the top 15 guys or so.. then it's got much more value.

It is cool to see the guys from Vegas up at the top though.

Oh, and i agree with the Jeter/Zimmerman statement. I think Zimmerman goes Zona, but it's neck and neck right now.. and that info comes from a coach that's recruiting him.

Hate to give my team da bad juju... but there's a real possibility UK could end up with 4 of the top 6 players in this class (both Rivals and Scout).

Newman
Brown
Diallo
Stone

Do you watch/follow Findlay Prep? Have you seen Justin Jackson?

His 'guard skills' are very interesting at a young age, I really like what little I've seen (but plenty of it is vs Trash Canadian HS players).

Not Vermin, obvi.. but yeah, he follows Findlay Prep big time and is a season ticket holder.

Elijah Thomas just took Diamond Stone to school.

Is he a chauffeur?

Got a name for ya. I'm hearing Allonzo Trier (currently #38) is quietly getting attention that could move him into top 15 quickly and could even challenge Newman... wow.

I've never seen him play so I don't know.. just passing it along.

I just started to look around on Trier, he looks damn good, has the ball on a string and i like the way his shot looks, he really splashes in his jumpers. apparently Powerade paid him to film an ad with Carmelo as a 6th grader, all the footage is off the internet but i found this article, in the new york times, about him in 2009 when he was 5'5 and 110 lbs.

i checked out some footage of his freshman season where he scored over 1000 points, he looked very smooth with the handle and his shot looks soft but looked like a combo guard in stature.

now when i found his more recent stuff, i almost didnt recognize him, he looks a good bit different and measured 6'4 without shoes at the nike elite camp last year.

he looks like a 6'5 PG thats listed everywhere as SG.. thx for the heads up, definitely will be keeping an eye on this kid.

Looks like a bigger Ty Lawson here to me:

and.... just like that. From #38 to #12.

^That ranking was Rivals (at #12).
Scout now has him at #7.

 

[Dr. Jones]

None of these guys have played a cbb game yet... but I'm predicting a below average class.
