New basketball commit

Sorry, I love Julian (in a non *** way...not that there's anything wrong with that) but Coach L is getting the most out of Julian. It's pretty amazing, but 4 years under him, and I don't think Gamble is a 20/10 guy.

Who in college basketball is a 20/10 guy? Those guys just don't exist right now. He could be a double-double guy. Get you 10 pts and 10 rebounds on a consistent basis if needed.

Way to take as literal as possible. Gamble was rated the same as Diaz, Hite, etc.

He wasn't. Those two were high 4-stars. Gamble was a mid 3-star
Great, again, stop taking it so literally. My point is stars in basketball are less accurate than football

Your point started with the incorrect information that Gamble and Graham were 4-star recruits. So if they weren't even ranked as high as you thought they were, how could they be examples of basketball ratings being less accurate than football ratings? You can go through the list of Miami commits during Coker's time and the BCS bowl appearance years and see plenty of 4 and 5-star washouts.

Coaching can make a world of difference in basketball, specifically in big men. Two years removed from Haith and this team is coached exponentially better. That was my point. Coach L getting Gamble as a freshman. Not having to break any bad Haith habits would have been huge for him.

Let it go, since you still don't get it
 
I'm talking to Davon Reed about Price-Martin now. The two were on the same team at some type of LeBron Camp according to Reed.

Reed just said "He can ball."

I'll let you guys know anything else I get.

I get that you threw out a couple of statements with no real way of verifying their validity.

I'm so sorry I said Gamble was a 4 star when he was a 3 star. Let it go, since you're still missing my point, and taking everything so **** literal.
 
Fellas let it go and enjoy the great pull today by Coach L. and staff.

Just know that as long as Coach L. is here, our players will be properly developed and we will get the best out of them.

No I am enjoying this fight, it is good entertainment while I watch the Knicks and sip my Oban before dinner.

Yes, good times had by all. Glad to be of service.
 
Ive seen Henriquez and MPM play and all I can say is wow.

Cant believe we are starting to get these highly touted, most importantly IN-STATE, guys.

This program is on the ups. Next year obviously is in doubt as to how good, if at all, we will be, but my god, were going places.

From the highlight tape, MPM looked like he had great movement especially on defense. Did that come across when you saw him live?

Haith was known for recruiting, yet it is under Larranaga that we are starting to get more highly rated players.

Kinda funny.

Larkin aint goin pro guys. Lol. Like, hes really good and all, but not close to NBA ready. I would be shocked if he left after his jr year. He wouldve had to make a sick leap and the team would actually be decent next year if he gets NBA good.
 
So two four stars already, 2014 gonna be our highest rated class ever?

In my opinion, it'll take a lot to match the hype and rating that the Lucas Barnes/Jermaine Walker/Johnny Hemsley/Mario Bland/Vernon Jennings class got.

And that was almost completely because of Barnes and Walker. As what's-his-face in the WEZ would say, "Dammit, mane...." How good would the last Tim James team and the Sweet 16 team have been had those two not had their problems?

Anyway... I was thinking about it while freezing my *** up here in Durham the last three days -- anyone else catch how the PBP announcer (sorry, don't watch ESPN enough to keep announcer's names straight, although heaven help whoever has to sit next to ****ie Eyeball) made it a point after returning from one of the timeouts to say how it was a nice, warm, 76-degree day?

Yeah. Larranaga's going to make this place a destination. Solid coach with a solid team and actually getting butts in the stands now... Add some nice weather to that, ,and, geez, come on down!

Speaking of the attendance, I remember the game we lost to Cornell way back in the mid-1990s where, I'm telling you, if I wasn't the only student at the game, I was **** close to it. It was during winter break, but STILL. I can't see that happening with Lord Jim here.

You know what else would be sweet? Getting one of those transfers who have a year of eligibility left and who wouldn't have to sit out a year because we offer a graduate program that their current school doesn't. Because we need a couple of big men for next year and the last thing we can afford right now is a huge drop-off, as temporary as it would be.
 
I've got my timeline wrong on these recruiting classes, I think. Tim James was AFTER Lucas Barnes and Jermaine Walker, right? I'm going to look it up. Still, that class, with those two players, was considered a monster class. If anyone has it handy, please help me out. Jesus, I'm getting early Alzheimer's.
