Following 2016 potential draftees

[Stifle Tower]

The Zimmerman trial... hoodie??

I got it. And that's hilarious. Sounds like Calipari would be an entertaining guy to have dinner with - and not just for basketball discussions.

I hope Vermin sees this post.

As some of you know, college coaches are not permitted to talk about recruits they're after.. not who they're going to see.. no details, etc.

Calipari entertains fans because he drops hints where most coaches do not..

Anyway, Calipari is leaving on a recruiting trip this week and when asked who he is going to see, he laughed because he can't say, but did say, "I won't be wearing a hoodie this week."

Now it's a little classless, I admit.. but he's obviously going to visit 7' prospect Stephen Zimmerman.

I played HS ball with a 7' Stephen Zimmerman who was also a D1 player. Interesting ..... just kidding, its not interesting for anyone but me.

Any Europeans know much about this guy: Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk - 16 year old Ukranian. Iowa State's recruiting him. I think he might go to college as 17 year old and be potential 2016 draftee. Looks like he can really ball.

Here's a video. Looks like a 16 year old Stauskas minus some muscle. Seems like a potential lottery pick in two years.

im not European but ive been following Mykhailiuk since he blew up at the U-16 tournament last summer. hes arguably the best NBA prospect in all of Europe and is supremely talented, very explosive with a nice shooting stroke but really whats got to have the scouts abuzz are his combo skills they are very advanced for a youngster, it hasn't translated to huge assist numbers for him in the Ukrainian league but he figures to be able to create shots with ease

apparently NBA scouts were very impressed with his practices at the Hoops summit.

Damn, hope he goes to Iowa State. He would dominate in Hoiberg's system

he looks pretty good

Yeah.. he's pretty good.

An early "prediction" of mine does not include Rabb.

Newman
Brown
Matthews
Diallo
Stone
(And two of four others)

 

[Dr. Jones]

Rabb doesnt seem like the type thats going to leave the West coast, Arizona is a great fit for him and with Tyler Dorsey and Justin Simon already commited they're out to the early lead in 2015 recruiting

That class would be killer for UK though. for a big bodied 6'10" player Diamond Stone looks to have some crazy sort of agility and skillset, and it sounds like Newman wants to play with him which is the key

Newmans jumpshot is on another level if UK lands him im gonna be happy nomatter what

and ive gotta Chieck Diallo out live he goes to school not too far from me

Kinda weird how much **** you know bro. Like I'm talking to Payne or Cal tbh... good on ya.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yeah...... and Newman is BADass.

btw im kind of sad Jaylen Brown wasent on your prediction list. hopefully Cal can make it happen, this kid can fly

Brown is still squarely on the radar.. there's plenty of mutual interest.

This guy's not a draft prospect or anything, but do any Europeans know anything about this guy: Giorgos Tsalmpouris

 

[8]

Thanks for the info. I also found the two videos above, but couldn't really get anything else. Guy just committed to Iowa State. If Fred Hoiberg can't develop him, no one can.

its a great move for a team recruiting Mikhayliuk to have a Euro import like this already on the roster

I think so too. He would be a monumental recruit
