    James???? You gotta include given names my man cause there are way too many NCAA prospects in my head to just go with James.

    Also, I don't consider Ty Lawson as a lock to come out.

    Huggins recruited Walker and Bennett,thats it.
    Beasley was a by product of Huggins bringing over the guy who was recruiting him,Huggins knew that it would net Beasley
    If the guy who recruited Beasley would've took a job at Rutgers then Beasley would've went there too
    Huggins has recruited Walker since Walker was a freshman,Cincy was in on Walker because he played in Cincinnati
    You've yet to prove me wrong that it isn't Walker's team.

    I'll take Derrick Rose.

    I think he will end up having the best NBA career.

    He didn't control tempo offensively or defensively and wasn't especially accurate with his passes.


    [.
    You likely saw one of his earlier games. He made huge strides in the second half of the year in his point guard skills, and abiltly to control the game.

    I seen Derrick Rose play yesterday for Memphis, and he looks like a serious baller, I havent seen enough of Mayo and Beasley, but Rose is going to be a special player.

    I'll take Rose. Mayo will be an Arenas type player while Rose can be a player I think you can build a championship around. I don't know about Beasley yet i've heard him compared to Carmelo Anthony but I'll have to see how he does in the NCAA.

    Memphis played U of Tenn.-Martin. Considering they were a sub-.500 team in the Ohio Valley Conference I think you should hold off your player evaluation until you see Rose play within Conference USA.

    Anyways if I could choose any player out of the three it would be Rose. Reminds me of Payton so much I'm surprised Glove hasnt jumped on his dick yet.

    Mayo reminds me of a taller Arenas and Beasley reminds me of Carmelo. ALl those are kinda obvious tho.

    Even then it'll be a tough gauge. It's not like Conference USA was the power house it used to be.

    Nice recap of D-Rose's first college game the other night. 17 points/6 boards/5 assists and a nice block. He looks great, and personally I'll take him over Mayo too, unless I see Mayo exhibit genuine point guard skills this year.

    Easiest comparison to make with Derrick Rose is Dwyane Wade, both in skills and weaknesses. Ridiculous athlete, great scorer, real point guard skills, average jumpshot with room to improve. Similar in size and build to Wade too.

    Conference USA was a powerhouse?

    Honestly though, I do agree. With his athleticism the only games I'd even attempt to evaluate his standing as a prospect would be:

    Dec 4 vs USC
    Dec 29 Arizona
    Feb 23 Tennessee

    The rest of his game he'll be so far above his competition physical that he's likely to get by solely on his athleticism.

    Did anybody see his highlights against Richmond?
    that block was manly and dude pushed the ball up the court in just 4 seconds!!!!!

    Payton might just jump on his dick and try to be his mentor,so he can get his name back out there for a team to look at
