Backcourt getting a little more crowded at Louisville

‏@TheRecruitScoop
5-star G Jaquan Lyle is off the board to Louisville. He joins a loaded incoming backcourt in 2014 for Rick Pitino:

Telep's opinion in response to this question;

“@gionysports: @DaveTelep what does JaQuan's commit do do Ville's chances w/ @isaiah_w15 ? Very crowded backcourt already no?”

“@DaveTelep: @gionysports gotta think Louisville's main target is Trey Lyles. Plain and simple”

We'll see, but this certainly doesn't hurt our chances, not forgetting Cuse.

It has to help us a ton.

At that point would you rather play with your buddy rysheed and a senior branch or Tyler ennis and Ron Patterson only 1 year ahead of you

I'm with you. Wish our opinion was the deciding one! 

Fwiw,

“@NYPost_Brazille: Don't believe Louisvilla landing Jaquan Lyle will impact Isaiah Whitehead from what I've heard.”

Be honest not sure the impact either but look at the guard commitments for '13 and '14 for Louisville.  Terry Rozier, Anton Gill, Chris Jones, Quentin Snider and Lyle.  All are studs BTW. 

How the hell does he have room for Whitehead?

It HAS to influence his decision, regardless of what Braziller's says.  Louisville might have the deepest and most talented stable of young guards in America coming in already.  Most logjammed backcourt around.  If Whitehead chooses to go that direction, I'd find it odd.  Can't see how this commit to Louisville doesn't help us.

How many of Louisvilles commits are SGs?

Whitehead will be at Under Armour camp with  Sir Dom and Jamal

How many of Louisvilles commits are SGs?

Some of them will obviously be combo guards, but I guess 4pgs and 1sg.

That's still a lot of good players in the backcourt.  A lot.  Who wants to be the 6th guard on the roster?

We can't use a crowded backcourt as an excuse when ours will be pretty much just as crowded.

I don't agree it will be close to as crowded.  Louisville is bringing like six 5 star kids in at the same time.  We will have Harrison and Branch as seniors.  The only shooting guard ahead of Whitehead is Harrison IF he's still here as a senior.  Rysheed is the cream of our PG crop, and while I like Branch, I think he will be second to Rysheed at the PG spot. 

I don't think it is the same as having 6 freshmen and sophs to have to shake out PT.

Moose..........will our crowded backcourt have as many studs as L'ville?  Just asking.

We actually might be short on long, athletic forwards for the first time in the Lavin era.  Hope we stay on Larrier.

I don't think the years matter.  Didn't I and some others take heat here for suggesting a freshman would dethrone a SR from the starting lineup.  Bodies are bodies. Whitehead isn't long for college so the years of the others mean nothing.

And for Cap's question their players are probably better, but ours will be Sr's.  That kind of offsets things.

Did I hear right or maybe it was someone else but Whitehead's AAU team the Juice All-Stars will be backed by Under Armour?

My god - a sane take from a message board!  After cruising other schools boards, what a refreshing change.   Yes!  A "good" talent sticking around for a senior year CAN trump a "very good" or even "great" talent coming in as a frosh or even a soph.   It's why (sorry, UCLA reference) future college Players of the Year  Sidney Wicks and David Meyers weren't starters till their JUNIOR years - because their teams as sophs were busy winning NCAA titles with  seniors Lynn Shackleford and Larry Farmer playing 30+ minutes a game in front of them.

Cr, does Moose get a UCLA jacket for his wisdom?
