Uh, AJ could handle, shoot, and pass, not really sure how anyone could argue that he wasn't a skilled lead guard. Ashton-Langford definitely isn't like AJP, his jumper is the biggest weakness in his game right now. Great at getting into the paint tho and he was reportedly locking up top PGs(Waters, Ball, Smith) that whole week in Vegas.

Like what tcf said I believe it's been rumored UConn's his dream school. Also, I also believe he would like to stay relatively close to home.
Have said this to others but I would like for him to be prioritized as much, if not more then, as Tremont Waters. Both are phenomenal talents but Langford's ceiling seems higher and I think the staff can lock him up earlier.

The staff should lock him up as soon as possible. He looks to be a better passer than Waters although both are very talented.

AJ Price had a fantastic final year.
You may remember: final 4.
He was a scoring machine.

Maybe it's the Karl (The Mailman) Malone trophy for best PF.
AJ was good enough to get to the NBA so I'm going to say that qualifies as being skilled.

What's not to like about this kid. Looks to have great court vision and is kind of a no nonsense point. Just plays and doe that well, head up all the time and nice size too. Looks to be longer like Jalen with some nice athletic ability.

He is good and I agree go with the guy who loves UConn. But, let's not put Waters down - forget his height - he is one of those special players who comes along and breaks the mold because he is a basketball player.

Surprised no one has mentioned it but he played at the same high school as Facey. Not sure how long but can't hurt

He's going to Cushing Academy this year. Same school that Adams went to for a few years.

I liked his all around game in the video clip. Seems to have a solid frame that has already packed on some muscle. He'd be a nice get. I hope KO locks him up early. KO seems to being doing a great job of getting in with some players who are blowing up like Gabriel & Diallo. It's a catch-22 when it comes to pressing for an early verbal. Some kids show a lot early on, but sort of plateau, while others make huge progress between their Junior and Senior years. Gabriel is a case of the latter. Diallo as well depending on if he reclassifies. In his case regardless if he's 2016 or 17, you want to lock him up sooner than later. Now in Makai's (btw, gotta love this kids name!) case, he looks like a solid talent. Hard to say if he has a lot of upside or not, but the way he looks now, he seems plenty good to try to lock up now regardless of what class he ends up with.
Doesn't it seem there are a lot of kids that are on the fence between classes? Must hake it tough on coaches as they figure out what players they want for what year.

Haven't heard a lot about the last of Jay Murphy's kids Tomas. He was highly regarded as a youth/freshman but not as much talk lately. I see Chris Collins at Northwestern likes him a lot and of course Florida will recruit him. Otherwise it looks like URI, PC, Maryland and now Davidson on him - good list no doubt but still, no chatter.

Perhaps it contains the soul of one Marsellus Wallace.
