I'm more impressed at waiting for lists being cut to 10.

Especially when the lists seem to be composed of random schools. Rhode Island... and Miami. Providence... and UCLA.

You think PC does not make the next cut with these kids?

Chatman would be great cant shoot but doesn't everything else.

Am I correct in the fact he's a 6'6-6"7 swing? He doesn't look like a power guy at all and not really athletic.......if he can't shoot it I'm not sure of where the fit is? Just asking......need shooters!

Chatman has been tearing it up this summer according to some of the summer camp reviews I've read. They said he's been scoring from all over the floor & been good from 3. It was on ESPN somewhere earlier this month.

Here's some reviews I've found:

I ask you in the nicest way possible to not post on this board until the season starts. You can heckle us all you want if we lose to a terrible team, but I can't take the back and forth about recruits who are far from deciding whether they want to go to UConn or PC. Every thread gets turned into a mudslinging match.

Chatman went 9-54 from 3 in the EYBL. He had to sit out the whole high school season so might still be shaking off some rust.

Wow that's hideous......from what I see, and it's only highlights but he would have a little trouble getting to the rim in college against good defenders without being able to make a shot. Not sure I like this one!! Always like guys who can shoot it a little so they can get a step when needed!
 
Could whomever please edit the title of this post. Its really hurting my eyes.
 
This is an anomaly, weakest draft in last 25 years. I mean even out pal AO found his way into it and he tore up summer league on a strong Suns roster. Sorry, 2 easy of an intro, someone had 2 b the 1st.

You might be right actually if Anthony Bennett can go number one no reason why he cant be a first round pick.

PC probably will. Why any player wants to play for a HC that can't coach, develop talent, or make an NCAA tourney in almost a decade is beyond us. Sorry.

Jerry Meyer just changed his predictions for Abu and Terrell to PC for what it's worth.

Abu is ours. Say what you want he will be ours if Ollie keeps putting in the work he's been doing for him.

I don't disagree with your position. Jerry Meyer does.

BTW, you picked a crazy time to start becoming a recruiting guru. Hopefully you still realize there are girls out there that might actually make you less crazy than teenage basketball prodigies. I know that sound silly, but it's true.

Women/girls may flock to him if he is perceived as a "guru" at anything including hoops recruiting. Follow your passion and the money will follow. When the money follows the women/girls will follow! Its a simple recipe! $$$$$

The problem is we don't really want them both. We don't need Terrell at all, and if he wants to play right away we're not a good option.

Jerry Meyer's crystal ball is worth diddly squat until about 2-3 days before the kid announces, sometimes 24 hours. That's usually when he changes it to the correct pick. It's a complete guess until then.

3's guess is as good as Jerry's right now. Abu probably has a weeks, if not months, before he announces. Ollie is probably the sole head coach that has been on Abu more than Cooley (to Cooley's recruiting credit). 3 is right on that, this seems to be the guy Ollie wants more than any other (non-verbal, so not counting Hamilton).

Of course who knows how things will play out. Recruiting is a fickle game as UL just found out.

The only thing that matters is what line those two or any recruits sign in November or next spring.

I totally agree with that , just trying to stimulate some conversation with new info.

Count me among those surprised that Terrell gets written off on here so often. I think he's going to be a hell of a college player.

I'm with you. When I saw videos of him he actually reminds me a lot of wayne selden, who's going to KU this year. Big powerful 2g that plays aggressive on both sides of the ball

My only question is why did he change it, what new info does he have that made him change his mind?
 
If we lose out on all 5 relevant New England kids, it'll be hard to say that the conference affiliation doesn't matter. "Big East" still means something.

Of course, I wouldn't be crushed if we "only" got Colson. I suspect he's going to be very good.

I wasn't trying to minimize his talent at all. He's just very much like Purvis, even talking about transitioning to the point like Purvis is. And he is not as good as Hamilton, Hamilton is going to be a flat out stud. It's also realistic that Omar is here as a junior.

I don't think he wants to come here anymore than we want him. We really need Abu to be willing to play at a different school.

I think that has a lot to do with it. The big east is still a good basketball conference with or without uconn and is the reason pc now has a little more pull in new England with recruits then they did in the past with us in the AAC.

I don't think he's anything like Hamilton. He seems like a Dion Waiters type player to me or, gulp, Paul Harris. And those big, strong 6-3 ish guards can dominate people physically in college.

Yeah, you're describing Rodney Purvis. That's why we don't need Terrell.
