GRIII getting some national love. I think he is moving firmly into the top 15 maybe top 10.

• Michigan's Glenn Robinson III was the most impressive player of anyone I saw on the trip. GR3 will see more time at his natural position, small forward, this season. The 6-7 Robinson has added weight and become more athletic.

The questions regarding the son of the "Big Dog" were about his perimeter shot and ability to put the ball on the floor. Robinson buried deep jumper after deep jumper and appears far more comfortable at the 3-spot in John Beilein's offense. It's still yet to be determined whether this aspect of his skill set will translate in games, but it's a good sign with Robinson more assertive on the offensive end. If he can gain a consistent jumper to go with his athleticism, he'll almost certainly be a lottery pick.
 
I am just way too critical of GR3 for my own good. I developed an opinion too early and dug my heels in. I am still of the opinion that he's just not that good... but at least I'm owning the fact that it's just me.

I've been buying his stock for some time now. Can't wait to see him develop his game even further this year.

It's alright bro, we all make mistakes..
 
• Indiana freshman Vonleh is a tough one to figure. The 6-10, 240-pound Massachusetts native will be pressed into service because Tom Crean lost a ton of last season's team. Vonleh has shown glimpses of being a star, but he hardly dominated in the prep ranks while at New Hampton, especially on offense. That'll be something to watch -- how Crean uses Vonleh on offense. Vonleh is probably ultimately a power forward at the next level, but he's still a work in progress, and knows it. Vonleh is extremely coachable, high-character and will continue to improve -- but he'd be best served to spend two seasons in college.

I am just posting what I read can't do the whole article because it is an espn in.
 
Theyre's a really weird thing going on with Wiggins with the media now and both are extreme views..On one hand i think the si cover and people saying hes a Kobe/Lebron level prospect is way overhyping him hes not gonna be as good as them..

But now you have another part of the media mostly high school guys saying how hes not that good,going overbaord on practices and scrimmages saying theyres 3 or 4 players on Kansas better then him etc they have an agenda against the kid now for whatever reason when a few months ago they were saying how great he is..

It's just weird to see both overhype and underhype on the same player there seems to be no middle ground with him..

I've stated earlier in this thread that it's Bill Self selling the underhype and having Jeff Goodman (his good buddy) to get the ball rolling. I sense that Self is trying to get some pressure off of both Wiggins and himself.
