Just opinions but interesting,
Yes, we know, trying to predict where a kid will play is like trying to predict an NCAA Tournament Bracket. But we figured, why not? We all know how fun those brackets are! So here are the predictions of Pat Benninger and Jason McGee of MidStateHoops.com on some of the top uncommitted prospects in the state of Illinois. Let the discussion begin.
Pat Benninger:
Iman Shumpert: Marquette. It comes down to UNC and Marquette for Iman. The attraction to play for the Tarheels is more than overwhelming to him but he realizes that he has more room to grow as a Golden Eagle. Thoughts of Dwyane Wade come to mind and he knows he can make a bigger impact on the collegiate scene in blue and gold.
Jason McGee:
Iman Shumpert: Marquette. Shumpert will eliminate the ACC schools by reasonable deduction. He will not choose Georgia Tech over North Carolina. If he went with the ACC, North Carolina would be the pick. He did not let the Tarheels into his recruitment this late only to say no for another ACC program, Georgia Tech. But, because he does not feel that he will have the best chance to succeed there, he will choose neither of the schools. Like Roth, Shumpert is flattered but will stick with the original gameplan. Marquette has produced plenty of Chicago talent of late and Shumpert plans to be the next in line.
Let's hope there's some merit to this prediction.
