  1. What's the story on the McClintock kid? Why is he just now being recruited?

     

    Headed to UK Elite Camp in June. Dad is supposedly a huge UK fan. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get an offer when he comes to town. Gonzaga, Air Force and Virginia are also in the mix. UNC wants him to let them know before he makes a decision (backup plan for Lawson?). Kid certainly has the "Wow" factor when it comes to highlights.

  2. I would take Riek every day and twice on Sundays before Carter. I'm not saying he is the most polished post player out of the 2008 class, but he is better and has much more potential than Carter at this stage.

     

    He may have more potential, but how long are you willing to wait? I've seen John Riek play in person and he is extremely raw. Footwork is terrible and he gets winded after only a couple times up and down the court. I'm not a Carter fan by any means, but at this stage of the game he is more polished than Riek. Reik may very well turn out to be a decent player, but right now he is a huge project.

  3. That is what I was thinking.

     

    Would be a huge pick up for UK.

     

    UK doesn't have a shot anyway, but right now Riek is basically the same kind of player as Jared Carter, but less conditioned and more raw. You really think that would be a huge pick up?

  4. John Riek has been put in a tough situation. He will almost certainly have problems getting through the Clearinghouse if he does try and go the college route, but he has been so bad in his workouts that the NBA is not the best place for him right now. I've heard some scouts say he was the worst player they have seen in this years draft class and is no where near ready for the league. Of course that hasn't deterred numerous players before him that took the exact same path.

     

    It's kind of a sad situation because Riek is just another in a long line of foreign-born players who has been brought over to the US and been taken advantage of. He's been told by so many different people that he is ready for the NBA and that couldn't be farther from the truth. He is extremely raw and would do well to spend at least a couple of years in college. He's only 18 years old however, and barring any serious knee problems (which is a big if) he could turn out to be a decent big man in the league.

  5. The Giants have a pretty good scouting department, so they must have seen something they liked in him.

     

    The Wonderlic is overrated IMO, and it's far less important for WR's than say a QB, but a 6 on it is BAD. The kid can play for sure, he's a first round talent but off the field issues caused his stock to plummet.

  6. Earl probably played his way into the first round after his showing in the tourney. He could go through workouts, play extremely well and turn himself into a lottery pick this year. If that's the case, he is gone. I still think after testing the waters he comes back though. He'll have a monster year next year and truthfully isn't ready for the league yet.

  7. Just got back from the game. Wild atmosphere at the Hall tonight. Harangody is an animal, kid deserves NCAA POY consideration for sure. UL is really coming together. David Padgett was once again a warrior for them, does all the little things. I think I like McGee at the point over Sosa for this UL team, he doesn't make near the mistakes Edgar does. Place erupted after the last T-Will dunk. This team has a legit shot at the Final 4, their defense is flat nasty.

  8. UK is not recruiting him. If he does happen to end up at UK it will be as a walk on, and that's not likely at all. He's messing with people, and it's pretty funny...

     

    Anyone else find it kind of odd that with all that has happened to Mackey, he's still taking the time to mess with a fan base? Don't you think he would be using his time more wisely, like trying to repair his very damaged reputation. Oh well, I'm sure someone will be returning the favor soon enough.
