"The 6-foot-4, five-star point guard at Dallas (Texas) Prime Prep is also at the center of plenty of rumors regarding who is recruiting him, who isn't recruiting him and where he stands.
As of now, Mudiay is considering a group of 10 schools that includes Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, N.C. State, Oklahoma State SMU, St. John's and Texas."

The kind of kid we would NEVER have been mentioned with in the past. Reel him in, Coach!
-
Good friend of branch, we got the Houston area on smash
-
Wow. This kid is ridiculous. Amazing to be mentioned .

From AAU days with Branch;

This kid is unbelievable. Him and Mickey Mitchell are unreal talents. Amazed to see him list us.

Here is my point I made in an earlier thread. And to be fair I don't know what SJU's chances are with Mudiay per se.
But when posters begin questioning what our Plan B or Plan C's are because publically nothing seems to be mentioned or there is little news on the recruiting front, just remember who we are talking about? Steve Lavin.
The guy has amazing connections across the country. Just because Plan B and Plan C are not publically being discussed does not mean he is not on the ball or that SJU is "falling behind."

Fordham I don't want this to go past Mudiay but Lavin publicly said he was only recruiting 2 guys for '13. So he made it clear there was only a Plan A. Any talk or conjecture about Plan B is warranted if all of a sudden names are now all of a sudden being mentioned for '13. Back to Mudiay now.
-
Also, the staff cannot talk about kids they are recruiting. Info comes from other sources.

That wasn't entirely my point. First off I don't buy all the Severe talk yet. I think if you hear rumblings of say Harrison leaving early (which I don't expect) then maybe but I don't see it. I still thinks his focus is on JL and RJ for '13.
But I was speaking more about '14 and '15 when some said we had fallen behind with some local kids and there didn't see to be a backup.
Honestly, I was always more worried about getting this season turned around then recruiting. With this guy, recruiting will take care of itself. He'll get players.
-

That's the other thing. A lot of hearsay and a lot of assertions being made that no one can truly verify.
-
I was hoping we would get involved, with our connections I think we have a chance

While Coach can say that the plan is to bring in only two players (based on available roster spots), he couldn't, nor has he, specified that he is only recruiting Jermaine and Rysheed. That's what we get from reading Scout, Rivals, etc. Coach cannot talk about specific recruits until after they've actually signed their LOI.

I really hate responding to this in the Mudiay thread but yes I know he can't name names. But everyone here knows we have been mentioned in quotes by players but just 2 players for '13 until this week. And that was Jermaine and Rysheed.
Lets get back to Mudiay now.

Also might want to note this News Flash - THINGS CHANGE. What you plan when you've got a 6'9 Jr. JC player and a 6'8 frosh is different than when you have a 6'89 Jr. JC player not cleared by the NCAa and a 6'8 frosh who's been named Big East Rookie of the Week five times (and counting)...
I personally expect coach to jump feet first very soon into the Canadian Pipeline. Just too much good talent coming out of the Great White West - some with Reps the size of OJ Mayo, and some so far under the radar you say "who the heck is that"? Gonzaga's top 10 with Canucks like center Kelly Olynyk (17 pts 7 rebs), and PG Kevin Pangos. Olynyk replaced the just graduated canadian Robert Sacre - playing center for the Lakers. UNLV has the top frosh int he country in Anthony Bennett. Texas is waiting to get Myck Kabonbo back. Tristan Thompson, Andrew Nicholson, Cory Joseph. And of course, Andrew Wiggins is the #1 high schooler in the world. But there are PLENTY of under the radar Canadian kids. UCLA has offers out to 3 right now - PG Emanual Owootoah, C/PF Ray Kasonga, and PF Mikyle McIntosh.
I know coach Lavin is already on Owootoah - and that doesn't conclict with his "only 2 in 2013" of Rysheed and Jermaine - Owootoah was a 2014 till two weeks ago when he reclassified. But there are lots of talentd kids out there still...
By the way - one good theory on why there is suddenly such a volume of Canadian talent - some are chalking it up to the maturing of the first real generation of Canadian Kids raised on Toronton Raptors and the old Vancouver Griz, instead of JUST the Toronto Maple Leaves and the Vancouver Canucks.

Zags nailing another "scoop"! Come on.
Mudiay Trims List to 10 Schools
February 1st, 2013 4:55 pm
Emmanuel Mudiay, the No. 2 prospect in the Class of 2014, has trimmed his list to 10 schools, according to Eric Bossi of Rivals.
The 6-foot-4 point guard from Dallas Prime Prep is down to Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, N.C. State, Oklahoma State, SMU, St. John’s and Texas.
“I’m just worried about getting a national championship,” he recently told the Courier Journal, adding that he’s not focused on recruiting. “That’s what we’re focused on.”
“I think he’s the best player in the country, if you ask me,” teammate Elijah Thomas told the paper. “He gets his team involved. He’s a vocal leader on the court, and he plays defense.”

Too bad. Would be cool to see a 6'8 hockey player with a 40 inch vertical.

I don't expect us to get this kid... But people go see this kid play. He would easily be the most talented kid we have had in awhile. Wow

If anything, this is a reason coach Martin is here, to help land PG's. Playing 13 yrs in the league is a strong selling point.

Also, coach made the comment about only 2 for '13 in mid January. Nothing about Sanchez or Jakarr has changed since then. It's not like he said that in October.
But it's awesome we're being mentioned with this kid. Unreal talent apparently. I gotta think it would be a battle to convince him to come to Queens though. But - hey, you never know.

Latest article in scout. Took recent trips to Arizona and Baylor. Baylor has his old teammate Austin.
Disputes the idea that Kentukcy and Baylor lead:
The school of thought is that Baylor and Kentucky are the leaders for Baylor, but he disputed that.
“That’s what is crazy,” Mudiay said. “I’ve never particularly mentioned one of them. I’m open right now. It’s still early. It’s getting down to where I’ll have to make a decision soon, but I really don’t have a favorite right now.”
Mudiay doesn’t have a timetable on making his college choice.

No same 10 schools just people were speculating that 2 teams were actually ahead of the others. Mudiay insists he has no leaders of the 10 on his list.

Funny about his comment on Arizona and being there for an Az/UCLA game "it was fun - it was a whiteout" referring to shirts worn by the crowd. Apparently didn't notice Arizona lost, as they'd lose again to the Bruins twice. And that for the 3rd year in a row, Sean Miller would be an absoulte FAILURE at developing a Pt Guard at Arizona (ran off Momo, Joshiah Turner was a total crash and burn, and now the Mark Lyons as PG fiasco).
Believe it or not, this is the 3rd year in a row Arizona has ended the regular season with NO player over 99 assists. The previous two years, they ended POSTSEASON (including their elite 8 year) with no one over 99.
In fact, in 4 years under Sean Miller at Arizona, the MOST assists totaled in a season by a Wildcat was in Sean's first year. Holdover pg Nic Wise racked up.....103 assists.
I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out why a PG would want to play for him. While their "PGU" moniker was always just a public relations piece of BS, Arizona is NOW the place "where point guards go to die".

I remember this kid being quoted as saying "I just want to win a championsip that's my main goal". If it were 1985, I'd say we have a good shot of landing him since we were a national title contender. Now? If that's really his main priority SJ will be among the first eliminated from his list. We have potential to be very good but not national title worthy like a Duke/Kentucky/UNC/Indiana.

Maybe he has the balls to try to turn a team into a champion instead of joining a prefabricated one.

Not sure why you say that? Unc and uk barely even making the tourney this year. I think we are developing that level of talent, even if we aren't there yet. With a healthy Branch and IF D'Angelo buys in to what Lavin is trying to do, we certainly have that caliber of talent to make a run at it. I wouldn't sell us short so soon.

Watched him today against huge Montverde team. Although just one game, he was out of control, forced it a lot and showed a need to improve outside shot. BTw, Dakari Johnson is really developing.

I think we will be in this race. Branch connection is there and we have hit Texas hard with Harrison and Jones as well. May end up being a finalist for our highest rated recruit ever. Let's hope we stay in it...

Take it FWIW, from Kentucky Rivals site:
- Emmanuel Mudiay - Potentially Calipari's favorite prospect to watch in the 2014 class (other than committed forward Karl Towns), Mudiay drew the attention of multiple Kentucky coaches Friday night as his Texas Pro team took the court in Hampton. Mudiay had a big scoring night, but it was his openness to reporters afterward that was surprising. In an exclusive interview with Cats Illustrated and Rivals' North Carolina State team site, The Wolfpacker, Mudiay announced that he plans on taking visits soon to Kentucky, Arizona, North Carolina State, Baylor and SMU, leading to logical speculation that those schools stand out the most among the five-star point guard's 10 finalists.

I think we will be in this race. Branch connection is there and we have hit Texas hard with Harrison and Jones as well. May end up being a finalist for our highest rated recruit ever. Let's hope we stay in it...
Emmanuel Mudiay is a BEAST - 6'5 point guard with vision and bounce - Prime Prep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHewHpPgkYU#ws)
Assume you mean under Lavin, b/c if not you're forgetting about a guy named Felipe Lopez.
Yes, I meant under Lavin. Sorry for leaving that out. And fwiw, sooner or later these kids are going to learn that the smoke and mirrors of Cal and UK isn't the only route to the NBA. Their NIT exit this year displayed that just lumping top 10 kids together isn't always a recipe for instant success. It's just an All-Star team. Those kids have the talent and could display it anywhere.

“@SteveJones_CJ: John Calipari and Orlando Antigua now watching Emmanuel Mudiay's game for Texas Pro. Larry Brown here, too.”
“@SteveJones_CJ: Emmanuel Mudiay said he had John Calipari in for a home visit on Wednesday”
Not counting on getting this kid, but we have other great options.
-
"Emmanuel Mudiay, the No. 2 prospect in the Class of 2014, says there are several schools he wants to visit.
Playing at the Boo Williams EYBL stop in Hampton, Va., the 6-foot-4 point guard from Dallas Prime Prep told reporters he wants to visit Arizona, Baylor, Kentucky, N.C. State and SMU, according to Corey Albertson of Rivals.
Mudiay’s brother, Stephane Mudiay, added during a phone interview with SNY.tv that Louisville, Oklahoma State and St. John’s were also in the mix."

We have to win in order to get to the next level of recruits. Lavin has hit top 25 already...top ten is next after a nice tourney run.

This one is very nice to be mentioned but obviously going to be tough to get.
Cal is all over this kid.

Just keep hoping Cal tries NBA again sometime soon.

“@EvanDanielsFOX: Emmanuel Mudiay has it going. Best I've seen him. Unreal physical attributes for PG. Showing off vision + making shots.”
“@EvanDanielsFOX: One college coach just told me he thinks Emmanuel Mudiay will be the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.”

You gotta figure he knows the Harrison twins. Won't hurt Cal's recruiting efforts when 2 Texas guys go top 10 in next years draft.

The point guard is legit but the other Harrison, Aaron, is overrated.

Said the same thing. They always rank twins together. I'd take rysheed over aaron. Doesn't mean he's not good, just not top 5-10 good.

That, and Boehim retiring, would be a perfect storm, pun intended.

The SG go the short end of the stick. He's not a top ten talent.

Nice to be mentioned with him, but unlikely we get him IMO;
"Mudiay made it clear that he isn't a "done deal" to UK, as some fans and observers seem to think.
He specifically mentioned Arizona, Baylor and Oklahoma State as other schools recruiting him hard."

While he officially lists 10 schools as finalists, Mudiay admitted that Arizona, Kentucky, Baylor, North Carolina State and SMU are the schools to which he's most interested in taking official visits.
In the last few weeks Mudiay has received in-home visits from Oklahoma State, Kentucky and Baylor, and he had only good things to say about all three.

Arizona - where top PG prospects go to watch their NBA chances die.....
Despite an incredible run of RECRUITING "top flight" high school point guards (McD's/Top 50s like Josiah Turner, Mustafa Shakur, Jason Gardner, Chris Rogers, JP Prince, Momo jones/transfer, Daniel Bejarano/transfer) Shakur's 22 game NBA career in 2011 is the ONLY Arizona PG in the league since Jason Terry entered the league fourteen years ago. Two Wildcat SG's have been converted to play PG in the pros (Gil Arenas and Jarrod Bayless). And Wil Bynum made it, but he had to transfer out of Zona to play at Georgia Tech for 2 years to get his shot.

Done deal for who? I think I missed this post.

Daniels puts him on the spot to name the ten schools and he gets nine of them (names SJU around 6th). He "forgot" Kansas.
Says he will decide next year.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but the later he decides the better it is for us. I think we'll surprise a lot of people this year with a very fun brand of basketball and tremendous success.

As expected, his final five;
“@SteveJones_CJ: ESPNU graphic says Emmanuel Mudiay now only considering UK, KU, OKSt, Baylor, SMU”

Answered my question:
Paul Biancardi @PaulBiancardi
Right before our game @EMudiay7 cut down his list of schools to 5 . Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma State,SMU and Baylor. @adidasnations
-
Mudiay isn't coming to St. John's. Not even in the discussion.
-
Based on his final 5 I would say you are correct.

St. John's was never recruiting him.

"The reason for Mudiay’s change of heart? Eligibility concerns."

@WojYahooNBA: Emmanuel Mudiay's one-year deal with Guangdong of the China Basketball Association will pay him $1.2M, source tells Yahoo Sports.
@franfraschilla: Just saw the report on Mudiay signing with GuangDong in China. Financially, a good move. A major career gamble. League no D & no development

Despite no development, some team will make him a top end lottery pick. Potential gets so much weight in the NBA.
