Ford doesnt even have a scouting report for any of our guys. That means they are not even ranked in or just outside of the Top 100.

It is good for us.  We have some guys like Sampson and Obekpa and even Dom who could probably play in the NBA, but are all at least 2 years away IMO.  If we are able to keep them around and building, and add a few key pieces like Lawrence etc, we will be a fixture at the top the next few years.

Not an insider anymore. Who an where are they ranked?
Top 10 in order are Noel, Mclemore, Shabazz, Alex Len, Anthony Bennett, Porter, Zeller, Carter-Williams, Marcus Smart, Poythress,



Thanks desco, so no mention of our guys?

That's a negative 'Mase.   
Although Lebryan Nash is at the bottom of the list, and in my mind Jakarr is just as good as him - if not better.

Also, the Obekpa to the pros talk is a pipe dream until he can make at least half his free throws.   He's in danger of entering single digits soon if he keeps this up.... (and we've been playing home games, or relatively easy environments on the road)  I can't imagine he's going to make too many at Louisville or in the dome.
when Derek Jeter's batting average is higher then your free throw % you know you have work to do...

Haven't seen Mclemore. Guard? I take the guy from Ohio St over these guys

For someone who claims that Iona has "the best backcourt in the country" you sure are ignorant on countless players across the country.

Don't you think that it is only appropriate if you make assertions such as the one you made earlier this season that you should have serious knowledge of all the best backcourts and potential backcourts across the country?

Glad that none of our guys are being fed any hype.  All will benefit from more time at the collegiate level.

Jakarr will get some buzz if he finishes strong. With that said, I think at best he is a second round pick this year and will be back to get into Moe's range in 2014 draft.

I've seen a couple of Kansas games.  McLemore has become my favorite non-Redman.  Extremely talented and fun to watch.  It's hard to pass up a good big man for a guard (Sam Bowie) in the draft but I could see him being the number 1 pick.

Are you kidding? ? ?    Single digits "if he keeps this up" ? ? ?    Don't you realize he went 1-4 last night?   He RAISED his % to 23.3%! ! !   :)
