BBall Recruiting Thread 2k16- SJM, Washington, Childress & Mitchell sign NLIs; 2017?

I get the impression Giles is not really into UNC from that at least. Only school he had nothing unique to say about.
 
It's not just about exposure. Who's going to get better, the player who goes up against Aaron Rountree in practice every day, or the player who goes up against
Dakari Johnson? Kentucky's scrimmages would be a bigger challenge than most teams entire non-conference schedule. Let's not act like there isn't a benefit to that.

Also, Schools like Kentucky and Duke get everybody's best shot every single game they play. Even if you have a shitty season and don't make the tourney, we beat Kentucky and partied like hell. Remember when #1 Wake went #4 Illinois in the 2004 ACC/Big 10 challenge and got smoked? That's the kind of intensity Kentucky gets on basically every road game.

Cal has had enough top recruits that there's enough data to do a decent comparison of how his players have fared compared to those who go elsewhere. I'm not convinced he has any unique effect except perhaps exposure. Even then, that could be a peer effect from playing with other highly rated players.

Theo Pinson and Harry are best buds and he is keeping UNC in the race or so one hears. How many best buds can one guy really have?

When he's that good and will be making bank in a couple years.... A lot...
 
If he wants to decide by July and the NCAA has not reported back clearing the basketball program (highly unlikely IMO) there is no chance Harry goes to UNC-ch

He wants to decide by his senior season, which starts sometime in November. Kwe is deciding by July.

It's been between wake and duke since the start of his Jr year. There's no one else in the race.
 
But, it will be a year removed... with key members bolting... so does it have that much of an impact?

"K" sold his soul for another crown, got it, but now is mired in the one and done cycle that Cal thrives upon (Cal finds it easier to recruit rather than coach players up). Is HG a one and done kid?

They play in the SEC, so they don't get a #1 v. #4 matchup every night on the road.
 
Wake will have to have enough talent on hand for Harry to feel like we can compete at the highest level.
 
That's not the point. The point is, the way that Illinois crowd was fired up for Wake is the way every team is fired up for Kentucky when they play them at home.

Yeah, the fans are fired until UK stomps an inferior home team in the first 12 minutes.

That team made it to the National Championship game. A better example would be our road games against BYU, Clemson, etc... in 2009.
