who would you rather have? Whose more interested?
as the next leader of Al Quida?
I have never seen either player play, but all things being equal I would go with the local player.

Last I heard, Nolan was playing HS ball in West Va.
Rivals ranks Prince Ibeh as #123, a 3 star and Nolan at #89 and a 4 star. Ibehis ranked #100 by Scout.
So because he's not in Milwaukee now means he isn't a local player? He was born and raised...still counts as local even if he's spending a couple years elsewhere to hone his game.
I hope that both Ibeh and Nolan are backup plans. I'd be happy either either, but I'd prefer Cleare, Stokes, Poythress, or McGary.
Do we realistically have a chance with any of those guys especially cleare or mcgary?
We are even still talking about Nolan?? I see no way he comes here after the random blogger in New Jersey said that we let him sit outside while Buzz had a team meeting and blew off the media.
Honestly, I would really like to get Nolan. He seems like he has some skills and a lot of potential. I don't know much about Ibeh, but it sounds like he's solid. I think 2012 we need someone to develop behind Otule and Gardner.

Poythress is highly ranked, but is a SF. We have a lot of those types.

Nolan is playing with WI Playground Elite with a bunch of Milwaukee kids... if he's with them this weekend I will catch a few of his games in the Twin Cities (Duane Wilson, Arroyo Edwards, Cinmeon Bowers and others on that team as well).
Poythress is the real deal.. I watched Cleare and I think he can be very, very good, but I'm not sure he'll realize his full potential yet. Saw him in person quite a bit in Denver a few weeks ago - huge young man. His team (Houston Defenders) won the 17U championship... he got hurt during the tourney and his game was way off during bracket play, though... the the Harrison twins, Derrick Griffen and Christian Sanders were all on their game though...
Pothyress is the catch. Reminds me of a Luol Deng or Gerald Wallace-like player: to the hole, from the arc, long defensively...

ESPN and Rivals both list him as a power forward, and ESPN specifically says that he'll have to work harder if he wants to be a small forward. Right now, he's a face-up 4, but has the athleticism to develop into a 3.
