PSA pound for pound has the toughest backcourt I’ve seen. Tyson Etienne, Charles Pride, Hassan Diarra, and Demarr Langford are formidable. Take Diarra right now and Pride is so underrated, hustles every possession.

rivals has precious listed at 6'9 215 and espn at 6'8 210 so he's already bigger than polley, yawke and whaley. precious could easily play stretch 4 for us. think jimmy butler at marquette- a 4 in college and a 2 in the nba.

either way you're still burying Brendan Adams on the bench by adding another guard to the rotation, which aint cool for hurley's first recruit...

having said that, i'll welcome any 5 star with open arms. sorry brendan!

but my main point was that i'd rather get a 5 star big than a 5 star guard.

You have Never seen Precious play.

ok...super athletic college 4 is exactly what jimmy butler was too...

i know precious isn't a natural 4 but neither was jimmy. the point is he could play the 4 at uconn given his size, the great depth at the point and wing, and the lack thereof in the front court. how can you disagree with any of that?

call him what you want but you try to get your 5 best guys on the court. if its 3 guards, precious, and a big man then he's the de facto stretch 4.

Precious is a 4. He will never become a 2. Jimmy had a much better handle and mid range game then him while he was at Marquette. Precious is bigger and more explosive then jimmy.

you misunderstood me. i never said precious was gonna become a 2... i compared him to butler because he also played the 4 in college due to his team's roster construction. but once butler got drafted he played the 3 and now he plays the 2. and at 6'8 230 butler is much bigger than precious.

precious will play both forward spots in college but right now he'd be a 3 in the nba at around 200 lbs.

Precious was 6'9 215 a few months ago. I'd expect 6'9-6'10 and 230+ when he's done growing. He's a modern NBA 3-4. Could guard 2-4 easily. Super versatile.

Jimmy will never be as strong or athletic as precious when it's all said and done. But precious will never have guard skills like Jimmy either.

Not a bad comparison. But I'd say Rudy is probably a better comparison

that's fair. rudy could/can also play both forward spots but uconn had a huge frontcourt in 05-06 with armstrong and boone so rudy primarily played the 3

Pick a player, start a thread. Two players means there's twice the likelihood it'll be highjacked with stupidity, and it makes finding info on a specific recruiting more difficult.

Bottom line: Sorry, but no multiplayer megathreads. Feel free to start a new thread for each and I'll try to move relevant replies.
