Which new Big East freshman scares you the most?
« on: August 05, 2008, 12:06:30 AM »
Just wondering, seems like freshman have dominated NCAA basketball the past few years, just wondering if the Big East will have the next Durant, Beasley, Oden type player?

If you choose other, please explain it in a message.

yes he was a good freshman, and he did do what the ones I stated didn't, and that was won a national title.  But really he didn't dominate the papers and highlight clips like Durant and Beasley did.  LeBron James was making all the noise, and he was still in high school when Carmelo was at 'Cuse.

So which is more imporant?  Winning, or dominating the papers and highlight clips.  If the Big East has a player like Mayo or Beasley next year it won't scare me at all if their team plays like USC or Kansas State.

Murph I'd love it if you could look at this and convince me he's bad.  Seriously, it would help me sleep at night.

Samuels scares me the most because he is a consensus top ten player (#5 in the RSCI).  Plus, he's stepping into a team that is already fairly loaded and experienced, so it's not like he will be required to go out and lead the team.

After further review yeah they is probably only one kid on the other team who is about 6'4 or '5.  But Sugar is on my side so I'm not changing my mind

Opposition wasn't much-----but obviously the guy has the body and talent-----has very good moves both inside and outside. Also passes well (notice that high low pass)----will fit the Ville offense perfectly. Is more ready than I thought, could be one & done.

Monroe, He is a real big men, something all college coaches are afraid of and crave at the same time.

What are "Henry Sugar's" credentials in recruiting and why are you his lap dog?  Just curious.
