Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5345862, member: 1268"] OAD is relative to class as well. Here’s an article from Finkelstein, who I see as top in the area. He sites it as a class with some long term developmental talent, but not one with a lot of talent that will drive “winning” immediately. That’s the kind of OAD talent I’m staying away from. lives in CT and ran NE recruiting before CBS - if he's questioning Uconn's pursuit of Mingo, I'm listening. There is no one better at reading the tea leaves locally at a high level. Personally don’t think Mingo will want Hurley’s system as have read multiple times that his best fit is a drive and kick system, which is not Hurley. Oats runs that religiously with tons of reps, or I can see him going to a Baylor (who pays). Kid is a heavy on ball profile. I don’t see Hurley ever handing the PG keys to a freshman, and we should have one already anyway. I don’t think Mingo will want to play the Castle role, at all. He’s a OAD in a weak opportunistic draft, with a bad jumper and my guess is he’ll want to showcase his PG and on ball skills somewhere else. I don’t think this is the type of profile Hurley matches up well with from a 5 star OAD perspective. He’s better with the catch and shoot first profile as the system will highlight strengths. Thats me - my guess is if we grab Landrew this dies off, let’s see.
