Jimbo's Drinker Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 05:15 PM) David and Travis Wear combined for 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. I can't seem to find Thomas Robinson and or Elijah Johnson's stats anywhere Thats a great stat line for one player, not two. It is a known fact that most experts lauged at these two being picked for the game. If they did not attend UNC or Duke, they would not have sniffed the game. Robinson and Johnson are both higher ranked than the doublemint twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuiceCruz16 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Exactly what I said, Wall is going to Duke or UK. I am sure Roy is freaking out after watching the doublemint twins totally suck in the MCD's game. The Wear twins are not expected to be impact freshman. Never were, Roy is fine with their performance, far from freaking out. They fit the mold of Deon Thompson & Alex Stephenson (different games/build) as semi projects. Solid big guys with upside, that the Carolina staff will work with and hope by their jr. & sr. years they are big time contributors. Henson, Strickland, and to a lesser degree McDonald are expected to be the "step in" guys like Ellington and Lawson were. With Thompson, Zeller, Davis, & Henson up front how in the world would the Wear twins all star game "freak out" the coach who has taken the ultimate crown in 2 of the last 5 years. The Wall contact has started. With Wall being the ultra explosive point guard that has flourished under Roy at UNC with Felton & Lawson leading the Heels to rings. Wall is interesting, but I kinda hope he gose elsewhere for his one and done year. Not Duke though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hey Juice, what do you think of UConn's class coming in this year? On paper it looks good (plus factor in Majok) but I'm interested in your opinion since you seem to know more about NCAAB recruits. Oriakhi is highly touted at center but he's awfully small for that position. And i fear Coombs-McDaniel is just another Stanley Robinson (and not the good one that appeared in his last 4-5 games). Also really hoping you tell me that one of those guards coming in can shoot the ball! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall is interesting, but I kinda hope he gose elsewhere for his one and done year. Not Duke though. Chad Ford: He was awesome and he'll compete with Ed Davis and a few other freshmen for that. However, there is some buzz that Wall believes he might be eligible for THIS year's draft. I've been doing some digging and will be filing a story later today. The short rub is this: Wall is a 5th year senior and depending on how you read the collective bargaining agreement, 5th year seniors are eligible for the draft as long as the turn 19 in the calander year (Wall does). The league is taking a wait and see approach. If he declares, they'll research and make a ruling. If he does declare and is ruled eligible (two big ifs) he's a Top 5 pick in this draft. Maybe Top 3.

It's a case that Wall isn't going to win. Also in the rules it stipulates that you must be a year out of your high school graduation. Wall still won't graduate from high school until he completes this semester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Duke PG Greg Paulus visited Michigan to explore the possibility of transferring and playing football, where he would have one year of eligibility.

Sounds as if you won't have to worry. It looks as if Michigan has pulled back (he was never actually offered). It now looks like Jason Forcier, Tate's older brother who started at Michigan before transferring to Stanford may be able to play one more season and be Tate's backup. Jason graduated from Stanford and they do not have his grad program. He has only played 4 years including his transfer year, so if the NCAA allows, he can play his final year of eligibility at UM. It is a reviewable situation by the NCAA, but apparently Stanford has signed off on it. Not a sure bet by any means though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuiceCruz16 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Wake Forest gets a very nice athletic 4 star wing for the 2010 class in Travis McKie. Carolina liked him a lot, but did not offer so Wake gets a good one. Indiana got a commit from a unranked kid David Williams? from out of Florida who I really haven't heard about, but he is suppose to be an under the radar type guy. Athletic long 6'6/6'7 wing player. Terrell Vinson who shunned the big schools to commit with Loyola Marymont, but then got out of his verbal has committed to UMASS.
