SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 QUOTE (farmteam @ May 6, 2008 -> 11:55 PM) Isn't Fruendt supposed to be pretty decent, too? Definitely, but I think he was just talking about bigs. fruendt looks like a solid guy and had a very good senior year. DePaul seemed very interested in freundt and mirkovic. And you better not have me on ignore 'cause that's all stuff I've posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him in person several times, he's definitely good. It's pretty widely known they will be pretty good at guard and wing in the coming years though with their recruiting lately, but them getting bigs (especially like Rowley and Mirkovic) is big news, because they are always so tiny. I still don't think Carmody can coach, but getting recruits like he is lately could buy him some time.

farmteam Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 My not-very-bold prediction is that within two years Northwestern will have gone .500 or better in the Big Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Saw Rowley twice last year. He's decent. Spends way too much time behind the 3 point arc, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's strange. Setting picks you mean? Hope he wasn't out there shooting 3s... I saw him once. He's slow...not very mobile. Kinda soft. But he is 7 foot. He was supposed to be a 2009 recruit so maybe he'll be redshirted so he can develop some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is absolutely huge, but he seemed stiff and is not a good athlete. Despite his size he likely will never be much of a shot blocker. I've heard his post game is developing but that he is still very mechanical on the blocks. But NW badly needs size and Rowley is about 7 ft 290 and he does have potential so he is a good pickup for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuiceCruz16 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) Kentucky stays busy and gets a good one in Jon Hood for the 2009 class. He was a fairly big Duke target, so I'm glad to see him pass on the Dookies. Gillespie has been a busy boy of late.

RockRaines Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 OSU lands the #1 receiver out of Michigan, and the #3 overall prospect in the state in James Jackson and his 4.31 40. That makes the top receiver in ohio and Michigan in next years class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the OJ Mayo investigation starting Demar DeRozan the super athletic USC commit has said he will reconsider going to SC, if any penalties are forth coming. UCLA & North Carolina have been rumored to have been contacted by De Rozan. If Ellington does not return UNC could be a perfect fit for a one and done year for DeRozan, Edited May 14, 2008 by JuiceCruz16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuiceCruz16 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Rivals updated 2009 rankings have come out. The two names that have been raved about this summer both have jumped up. John Wall has moved to #1 overall. John Henson has leaped to #5 overall. Both have wowed them this summer. I'm thrilled to see Henson dominate, but the Wear twins actually fell to 54/55 respectivley, while Dex. Strickland stayed solid at #16 for the Tarheel commits. Illinois is represented by Paul at #49, Richardson at #57, Bertrand at #77, and Griffey at #123. Edited May 14, 2008 by JuiceCruz16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Illinois fans get worried about Griffey's ranking, he is not concentrating on AAU ball this summer and his AAU team is freaking terrible even when he does play. This isn't a Semrau situation.

This isn't a Semrau situation. Yeah, the fact he stayed comfortably within the 150 despite not playing AAU and being on an awful AAU team as is would actually be something to be taken as a positive. As far as I remember, Richardson and Bertrand are right where they were before this ranking came out, and Brandon Paul continues to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a Semrau situation. when i heard griffey was going to skip some of the big events to do the adidas nations stuff my first thought was that his ranking was going to drop. if your not being seen by the evaluators you are bound to drop. but truth be told i'd rather he do what he's doing and concentrate on skill development and developing better strength. i'm actually surprised bertrand did not drop more. i know he's been battling an ankle injury for most of the summer and hasn't had a lot of great performances.

JuiceCruz16 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Justin Watts who has been waiting to see if a spot opens up for him at Carolina with the 3 guys testing the waters for the NBA should be the happiest with the transfer of Stepheson for family health issues. This seems to open his spot as Carolina is already covered at the power forward spot with Zeller & Davis coming in and Thompson & Hansbrough returning.

Freeman is a pretty darn good player, I'd definitely welcome grabbing him but as Brian said, we need a big or two now for 09 and I'll be happy.

UCLA is prominantly mentioned along with UNC, but USC may balk at letting him out if he stays in the Pac 10. He has some family health issues also that may work towards him staying out west. This is all contingent on USC getting hit for the OJ Mayo stuff or he won't be going anywhere though. Edited May 20, 2008 by JuiceCruz16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
