Where did stonz confirm Devin's growth spurt?
And don't compare a dude to his sister ever. So emasculating.

It doesn't look like VCU is slowing down anytime soon.
Two seasons removed from its Final Four run and a few months from starting its first season in the Atlantic 10, the Rams continue to build their program. On Sunday, top-100 guard Jairus Lyles committed to Shaka Smart and VCU.
“The coaching staff here is great,” Lyles told Scout.com. “I loved the campus, the players were cool, and I think everything just fits me perfectly.”
Lyles, a 6-foot-1 guard from DeMatha Catholic (Md.), is a big-time scorer who can get by his defender on a consistent basis. He is aggressive with the ball and has an extra gear once he gets into the lane to finish. In VCU's up-tempo system, Lyles should have success because of his athleticism and speed.
Ranked No. 88 in CBSSports.com's Top 100, Lyles also had interest or offers from Oklahoma State, Dayton, Wake Forest, UAB, Seton Hall and others. He joins JeQuan Lewis in the Rams' 2013 class.
Top-100 guard Jairus Lyles chooses VCU.
I don't know how seriously we were pursuing Lyles, but I hope that he wasn't a top-target. We shouldn't be losing recruits to VCU.
Awesome pick-up for Shaka and co., though.
^All of that is true but it's still ACC>>>>>>A-10 or whatever conference they are in.
Slightly off topic, but especially with the move into the A-10 I could see VCU turning into an East Coast Gonzaga with Smart staying there just like Few staying with the Zags...
You're right. I forgot:
The opportunity to play in competitive league games and win championships vs the chance to get obliterated by UNC and Duke (and State and UVA and GT on the road and...)

Article today on Scout reports we are still in the thick of it with Kam Williams

I think staff's emphasis is probably more on bigger shooting guards Reed and Overton but still recruiting options.
When it comes to his recruitment, several schools are making Williams a priority.
“I would say Miami is really heavy on me,” Williams explained. “I have a good relationship with Coach (Jim) Larranaga and Coach (Chris) Caputo. I have been in close contact with them.”
He continued, “Also I am hearing a lot from Wake Forest and Providence.”
Wake Forest has shown him a lot of interest recently and are making it clear that he is a priority recruit.
“Coach (Jeff) [Redacted] and Coach (Walt) Corbean have been talking to me about getting better and how I would fit in with their offense,” Williams explained.
We were not really interested in Lyles.
That's an encouraging update on Kam. Sounds like we're in his top 3.
Lyles is ranked roughly 20 spots lower than CMM. That's going to scare him off?
We weren't recruiting him that hard. Which is fine. But let's not pretend that last year's class is scaring anybody.
