Durand Scott - SG - Rice HS - New York, NY - MIAMI U

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/weiss/2007/12/xavier-intrigues-rice-star-sco.html


i said it before and i will say it again: xavier made a better hire from the gauchos by bringing on book richardson than sju did with billy singleton.  according to one of the gauchos people ive been speaking to, singleton has little pull with their players and sju has been late on jumping on the younger guys.  durand scott, possibly the second or third best junior prospect in the city not named lance stephenson made a visit to xavier and was impressed.

Bring Sean Miller here, and the players will follow

there was another coach that interviewed with st. johns that would have brung in plenty of players. they might even had a realistic shot at lance

You're right, my bad.  I had heard back in the day that Oswald Cross was involved at some point (had heard Meminger as well).

Kob..  I am not saying you are wrong but I have watched Lance play since grammar school...     his father holds ALL the sway in the decision making process..  and next in line is Tiny....

if you wwant to look at it that way. . you are right but I think you knew what I meant....

Any thoughts on the possibility of getting Scott?  Those who have seen him live, what's his game like?

He's an above-average shooter (which puts him well ahead of the curve in New York), an average handle for a quality 2, and a good, physical defender.  On a championship caliber team, he can be a integral member in a few years. 

nah durand has very very good handle. hes gonna play the point in college. thats what i like about him kev and omari. they can score but was given the gift to play point. when all three play together man its special.kevin usally takes the point. durand does all the crazy passing and omari defends and scores

Outside of a completely desperate one, which schools have actually told him that they view him as a future point guard for their program?

This is scout.com's take on 2/3 Durand Scott:

http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=2619452

 
 AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Ballhandling 
 Catch and Shoot 
 Decision Making 

 Strengths:
 Big-Game Player 
 Competitiveness 
 Toughness
 
Extremely competitive young man. Has improved his perimeter game through his high school years. He's the kind of guy you want on your team. Brings a hard-nosed attitude toward the game.

this is the same scout that has kevin a 3 star recruit. ive known durand since he was 10. i know whta he is capable of and hes capable of running a point. he runs it for guachos. and they are winning

worse case scenario in college he's a glue guy off the bench.
