This doesn't sound like sound logic to me. If he can be a first-rounder next year, and he's got that potential, then he's gone. And no one could fault him for it.

6/9/2011 11:53:25 AM

I feel like he's got something to prove here. I see him sticking around until we at least make the tourney

Jesus

Some of you act so annoyed when threads sway a little during slow times. Yes, we all know CJL is not recruiting-related. Who cares if we shoot the shit in between recruiting news? I mean fuck, it's a Thursday afternoon in June.

6/9/2011 12:54:50 PM

it started by speculating about the need for big men in 2012.

6/9/2011 12:56:44 PM

^^ yeah seriously. people flip shit when threads get any flavor of derailed, like things aren't going to get right back to focus if any news breaks.

very true, and an important point to make for a lot of fans; if a guy can go in the lottery he should go, and people on tww and packpride shouldn't take this personally.

6/9/2011 1:10:32 PM

To further derail. Harrow enrolled at kentucky. Dumb fucking move but not suprising

6/9/2011 7:23:21 PM

he's gonna have a tough time finding a good shoe store in lexington

6/9/2011 8:06:54 PM

Interesting, apparently Reinhardt decommitted from USC in the last few weeks:

^i know. i found the above article about his decomittment interesting.

6/10/2011 10:14:47 AM

TDT is 20 right? He's already more physically mature than most freshmen...i think he'll contribute immediately for sure.

that kid has some good handles

6/10/2011 12:28:06 PM

that's a smooth operating white boy.

6/10/2011 1:07:16 PM

Someone please pm me and let me know what I missed the last two months while I was in boot camp. Saw harrow transferred?

6/12/2011 9:26:25 AM

...and he probably won't ever start a game for UK

Marquis Teague, if he stays for 2 years, will start in 2012-13
then they will bring in somebody better than Harrow for 2013-14
ditto for 2014-15

6/12/2011 9:39:55 AM

you sound like a girl that got ditched at the prom

6/12/2011 3:28:44 PM

Hey guys, thanks for the support.

6/12/2011 3:39:42 PM

^^ who?

6/12/2011 3:40:55 PM

He is absolutely right though j_sun. Harrow isn't going to beat out 1 and done 5 star PGs that Calipari will bring in.

6/12/2011 3:41:29 PM

or, who knows, maybe a year off and tougher competition could actually be good for him. he still has a lot of potential, but ultimately it's up to him if he wants to put in the necessary work for it.

6/12/2011 4:37:30 PM

if all the PGs that Cal brings in are as good as guys like Derrick Rose or John Wall, Harrow won't ever start

nothing against Harrow, just facts

6/12/2011 4:38:51 PM

or Brandon Knight, for that matter

Knight averaged more PPG than Wall and Rose

6/12/2011 4:45:58 PM

He can definitely win the starting job. If he shoots well from 3, limits turnovers, and makes assists, he will be competitive with guys like Rose and Wall.

The 1 and done players always have problems running efficient offense (and shooting FTs), and that's why Cal's teams have lost in the tournaments. So, there is a way for Harrow to win the starting job.

If he shoots well, he will get lots of playing time. Shooting is an underrated skill.

6/12/2011 4:50:23 PM

shooting is an underrated skill? all this time i thought shooting well and scoring baskets wasn't important

6/12/2011 6:42:03 PM

PI said that tweets said that Tyler Lewis's team won the 3-on-3 backcourt competition at this weekend's CP3 camp.

6/13/2011 9:32:24 AM

I read that Lewis's 3v3 and 5v5 teams both won their respective tourneys. Also his 3v3 team was him and two other NCSU targets, not sure who they were

6/13/2011 9:45:59 AM

Josh Newkirk & Terry Henderson were his 3v3 partners.

Codi Miller-McIntyre, Aaron Rountree, L.J. Rose &Terry Henderson were his 5v5

6/13/2011 9:53:14 AM

A few Lewis highlights @ Pangos, starts about 3:07, a couple of circus passes

6/13/2011 10:09:17 AM

that full-court behind the back was so sweet

[Edited on June 13, 2011 at 12:36 PM. Reason : maybe half court but it doesn't matter]

6/13/2011 12:35:10 PM

His awareness to make those passes is pretty remarkable. He's locked onto every player on the court.

6/13/2011 1:09:37 PM

Tyler Harris supposedly had 31 pts, 8 rbs, 5 assists and 3 steals in the Rumble in the Bronx tournament.

Three point guards on one team? I guess they got the ball handling issues sorted out if they won.

6/13/2011 2:52:34 PM

lol @ the name "Jeffland Neverson" in that link

6/13/2011 2:55:57 PM

^^the camp is for guards... CP3

6/13/2011 3:08:51 PM

someone let me know when Warren/Purvis/etc commit so i dont have to get excited when i see this thread bumped to the top

6/13/2011 3:55:58 PM

same

now that nba is over, no point in checking sports talk the rest of the summer

6/13/2011 3:58:41 PM

Rule of thumb: Don't let thread bumps excite you until something exciting is confirmed.

6/13/2011 4:16:01 PM

Doesn't exactly fit here, but whatever. Eamonn Brennan post on ESPN about NC State's defense.

"CP3 Elite Point Guard Camp recap WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- New Orleans Hornets PG Chris Paul invited some of the best PGs and SGs in the country, looking to improve their PG skills, to his CP3 Elite Point Guard Camp. The NBA All-Star was very active in his camp, constantly correcting and teaching. The camp participants were able to work on weak-hand development, proper footwork, creating their own shot in one-on-one play and team concepts. Best passers Tyler Lewis (Statesville, N.C./ Forsyth Country Day) 2012, PG, 5-11, 160 pounds College: NC State Simply put, Lewis is someone everyone wants to play with. The young Kendall Marshall-type passer will deliver the rock on time and on target. He plays the game one or two plays ahead of everyone else and can score at a moment's notice. Lewis makes open jumpers with confidence and range beyond the college 3-point line and executes pick-and-rolls with great instincts. He has gotten noticeably stronger, which has helped his on-ball defense, but he needs to lift defenders with a shot fake and move them with a jab step to help set up his drives while finishing better at the rim. Best one-on-one players Rodney Purvis (Raleigh, N.C./ Upper Room Christian Academy) 2012, SG, 6-4, 185 pounds He is lightning quick with a powerful burst driving to the basket. Purvis stands out as a slasher and is almost impossible to keep out of the paint. He gets wherever he wants on the court, thanks to his strong body and quick first step, and he's a highlight waiting to happen in transition. With his body, he should rebound at a more consistent pace, but if he can develop a jumper from deep, he becomes a guy who needs to be double-teamed. Best drivers Josh Newkirk (Raleigh, N.C./ Word of God Christian Academy) 2013, PG, 6-1, 170 pounds He has the speed and quickness with the ball in his hands to blow past opponents. Throughout the course of a game he can be a playmaker or a scorer. He can make a difference on the floor with his penetration and ability to find his teammate or score. His jumper is steady, but he needs to add range as well as communicate more on the floor. Players to watch Andrew White (Chester, Va./ The Miller School) 2012, SF, 6-6, 180 pounds White has the ability to catch and shoot with range from behind the arc. His size allows him to see over the defense, and he understands how to move off the ball by cutting and screening. He has a thirst to improve and is very coachable. As a SF, he needs to be more comfortable handing the ball and develop the ability to score off the bounce and defend at the 3-point line. Utah, BYU, South Florida, George Mason, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Missouri and UConn are in the mix for White."

according to twitter Gottfried made an offer to 2013 prospect Chris Walker. He's a 6-10 PF and is ranked as the #4 overall player in the 2013 class

longshot to land him as a lot of bigtime schools have their hooks in him, but he would be a huge player for us to get

""Their interest has been very high since I decommitted," Reinhardt said of the Wolfpack. "NC State is a great school. It's a big-time school, and the atmosphere out there is unreal. They have been recruiting me for the last few weeks and decided to offer me [yesterday]. I like them a lot. "It's a rising program. They are getting back to the top, and the coaching staff is great too." "

i don't know what team he has been watching, but no one tell him we aren't exactly "on the rise". it seems as though our recruiting is on the rise, and we do have a great coaching staff, but no one should mistake State for a rising team this coming season. the season after, possibly, with the top level recruits we have coming in.
