Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 5340373, member: 1329"] I think it's unlikely we bring in more than 1 of the top ~25 6'5"+ guys we are recruiting (Mingo, Landrew, Samuels), but we'll very likely get at least one of them. They have different skillsets, but there's only one obvious spot to start, and it's been a recent trend of having that 5* guy starting or at least 6th man (depending on how it shakes out with Braylon). And we don't know if any other guys (Solo, Braylon, Demary, etc.) will be going pro, so hard to take and commit to pay a 2nd 5* guard/wing who wants starter level minutes when it's conceivable we need to pay to retain 2 starting guards. County isn't a 5*. ESPN and On3 have him outside the top 40. He's in the Solo Ball range. I think first year backup, 2nd year starter at the 1 or 2 is perfectly reasonable for his caliber of recruit. He can play off ball, which lets him have an easier time earning minutes in year 1. [/QUOTE]
