Following potential 2012 draftees

[Hantlers]

Not surprising considering we have Poythress in the fold already. I feel we lead for Shabazz (don't go there Verlin) and we're sitting well with Bennet.
I don't EVER sweat recruiting anymore. In case you were alseep, Cy, UK had the #1 recruiting classes in 2009, 2010, 2011, and we're already at #2 for 2012 .. land Shabazz and it's 4 in a row. 2013 will be ridiculous as well. Still remains to be seen if we can win it all with freshman each year, but recruiting is not, nor will not, be the issue.

Shabazz ain't goin to UK.

I don't know if I missed this in the thread somewhere, but... Why is Perry Jones not playing for Baylor right now? Is he injured?

Actually, he was suspended 5 games by the NCAA for receiving benefits... link, https://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6230131

Shabazz ain't goin to UK.

Maybe not, but I'd bet heavily against him being a dukie.

Does anyone have any information on Jabari Parker?

I think he will stay West Coast. I'd bet on USC, but I could see UCLA or UNLV.

My money is on UCLA, but I'll be happy if he chooses any of these, so I can see him in person against the Utes.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Have any of you ever watched UCLA??? Why in the hell would anyone with an offensive GAME want to play that griiiiiind-it-ouuuuttt style? I'm serious.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Does anyone have any information on Jabari Parker?

Yes. He's pure awesome.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yes. He's pure awesome.

More specifically ..

Strengths: Yes
Weaknesses: No

Is there anyone currently playing at a College or Professional level that you would compare him to?

 

[orangello]

Yes. He's pure awesome.

Is he a player that could turn an entire franchise around?

 

[Dr. Jones]

I think it's a bit early to burden the kid with that much hype. Having said that, he is looking like a possible top 2 or 3 of the decade.

I hate comparisons. Who would you compare him to but on this short little vid?

I never said I thought he was going to Duke.

Does anyone have any information on Jabari Parker?

Parker is absolutely amazing. It's too early to tell, but I'm betting it goes down to Duke/UNC for him. Julius Randle is another player to look at in the same class. Both are studs.

How big is he? Sort of reminds me of Marion.

Like I said, Marion.

Coach K says Kobe.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Coach K says Kobe.

Not for me. His handle, shot, and explosiveness are all far subpar to Kobe and he's got that awkwardness of Marion. To me.
