WLEX is reporting that they talked with Meeks' father tonight and he stated that a decision hadnt been made as of yet. That would lead me to believe that Meekshadn't hasnhasn'tt received a first round guarantee at this time. Doesn't mean he isn't going to take a chance on getting drafted but I dint think the guarantee has been given.
I think this article explains the situation with Mack. This is just someone "looking" for something that just isnt there.

If I am not mistaken, Smith was recruiting Mack after he was denied admission to Florida. This is really a stretch and Goodman admitted to Matt Jones that this "wasnt that big of a deal" via text.
I think the majority of fans know we were going after Barton and wanted him pretty badly. There is no way EVERYONE is going to have that feeling. However, I think we might just recover and sign someone that is on the same level.
Wall took the SAT May 4th. Two months prior he was less than 100 points from a qualifying test score. This is before he took more than 2 months of SAT prep courses. I dont know if it is conceivable that he could even have the scores as of yet. He took the test not even a month ago. His core should be fine. Heard him in an interview before the hoops summit in which he stated he took an extra couple of classes "just in case"
