Nice! Good job pointing out why he shouldn't come to STJ 

For those who know, how would you compare Carrington against Whitehead? Skill sets, potential?

Good but not as good. Whitehead is just such a physical almost complete player.  It's over once Whitehead starts hitting it from outside with consistency.  Carrington is real good though. Very fast , good size , athletic with sick slashing ability.. Not a great outside shooter either and he is lefty dominant.  Still young though and has plenty of time to develop. Whitehead is the prize though .

Whitehead has those days you watch him and your like why is he so highly rated.  Don't want to say he dogs it but he coasts a bit.  Then you see him light the world on fire and your like oh ok I see it.

Whitehead is the real deal, can play on or off the ball crafty and can score with the best of them when he's on. Could be the next D wade IMO when it's all said and done ( poor mans version due to lack of defensive intensity) carrington is a half a notch lower than whitehead. He's quick, tough as nails and competes like no other. Can only go left consistently right now but he's getting better. If we sign him he's gonna be a typical hard nosed big east guard. That's what we need.

Sounds like exactly what this team needs. You think he'll be one and done, Whitehead that is?

Couldn't agree more.. He has his coasting days.. But he does something right now that no other guard on our team does right now ( with the exception of D'angelo at times .. And that is the ability to dribble into the defenders chest.. Believe it or not that kid Hornsby had it on Ashville.. It's a physical skill that is really hard to defend.  It's one of the reasons Dion Waiters is so tough to guard.  Our guards pick up the dribble right now instead of actually going right into the defender while keeping there dribble on the move.  Whitehead is so good at that.. He is going to be a serious problem on the college level.

Without question.

Lol brother, I said the same exact thing but it's the kids these days. They want to go where is cool or fashionable not where there's stability and room to grow which explains the overwhelming amount of transfers

Would you say its a big disappointment if we miss on both Whitehead and Carrington?  I haven't see Carrington but he sounds like another Amir, no?  I need  some new '14 names.  Not much out there being mentioned with us.

We need size and a kid like Quadri Moore from Linden fits the bill .  No clue if we are recruiting him however.

Nothing like Amir , can score with the best of them just a little left hand dominant at this point, but still has a great handle. And if we miss out on both of  them were doomed

Doomed is right .   As you know I like both kids.. Not to hijack this thread.. But damn what is happening with Lincoln so far?  That team is super talented and is getting the crap beat out of them out of state and barely beat a mediocre St Raymond's team .  Cue PMG in 3 2 1...

Thanks.  I thought I read his outside shot was suspect but improving.  And I know of the LH dominance so that was what I meant by another Amir.  Should I trademark 'Doomed'?
