Abdul Malik-Abu to NC State

[upstater]

Nothing against Facey; but ill take that action.

I think he's referring to height. You can't teach height. Facey though needs tolearn during his years at UConn. He could be a young Emeka... or not. As for Abu, unless he develops some small forward skills, he will go the way of Kevin Freeman. It's a matter of height. Not too many 6'6" power forwards in the NBA.

Maybe he means it literally? Higher = taller

Two points. One, Adrien's draft experience would lose you the best. Two, Adrien has some bulk, Abu doesn't. One is a freight train, the other a gazelle.

Contrary to popular belief, Jeff Adrien is actually Iron Man. Except he needs no suit of armor, just his fists and vicious knack for rebounding.

Its pretty clear TO ME, that his AAU guy steered him to NCState b/c he had a vested ($$) interest in doing so. Absolutely no other loical or legitimate explanation.

UCONN, FLA, and PC (pains me to say it) would have been better choices and would all be understandable.

This foolish kid actually chose the 4th best solution out of the 4 available to him. It just boggles the mind that after all this time and supposed careful consideration, he actually chose the worst option available to him. Therefore, its CLEAR TO ME, that $$ had everything to do with his decision.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of Boswell. There are some interesting rumors floating around out there.

I won't say NCSt was a horrid choice, but it was an interesting one.

Don't tell me they hired the guy.

That never ends well for the player.

Not an nc state fan so I could care less

just a droll

Calhoun did nothing that Coach K. hasn't done.

Except beat him when it counted. Larry is a Dukie!

Not yet, not sure if they will, but there are rumors he was asking.

seems like even the writers notice something isn't quite right, Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal before the commit:

Then again, Providence is the local school (not UConn) that may win out in the end but this recruiting story smells a bit funny as it enters its final chapter.

Yeah, he tweeted this earlier:

@GoodmanESPN Lots of Mass kids grow up wanting to play for Cowboys + Wolfpack. What a joke.

Who really wants to play basketball for Oklahoma State?

Who really wants to play basketball for Oklahoma State?

Its worked out pretty well for Marcus Smart

 

[progrocks]

For people who cant handle a kid deciding to go to a different school than what you think is best for him, you should not follow recruiting or have kids who go to college.

Best of luck in the future Abu. NEXT.
