I thought this would happen as well. Hopefully he finds a place where competition won't limit his plans. Good luck to him. On the other hand, another scholarship open!

I don't want him to go to a local rival because I thinks he's good. That said, I want kids here who want to compete, not be afraid of competition. Here's a quote which is actuall from John calipari in reference to playing with the best talent in an article where he addressed 5 myths of recruiting. I believe Lavin's approach and selling points are similar philosophically:
"The reality is you want to learn to play with the best players because at every level from here on out, that is what you will be doing. What I have found is that the teams that are a compilation of the best players – and the ones where everyone becomes their brothers’ keepers – are the ones which have the most success both together and individually. That was proven two seasons ago when we became the first program ever to have five first round NBA draft picks. Again this past season, our Final Four team had four players drafted and with those nine NBA Draft picks we were one of the most efficient teams in the country in both offense and defense."
