(2017) PG Paul Scruggs to Xavier

[Brass Cannon 24,817]

Maybe Washington getting back in the fray?

KU getting involved wouldn't surprise me. Have they landed anyone from Prolific Prep recently?

Josh Jackson I think

If the picture does not work check Twitter - Doyel confirms he has told his teammates

I'm not sure i understand a move like this. Why move that far away for the year? It's not like he doesn't have offers coming in playing at southport. If the goal is nba, let's say he goes to IU, if he's nba talent then he makes the nba.

Can someone explain this too me. The last thing I would want to do is ship my kid somewhere that far off.

What a joke.  I want Waters all along anyway, and this confirms it.

Prolific prep is not a "school". It is solely a basketball factory and traveling roadshow.

Now maybe some of our posters can be helped to move past this nonsense that a young man that was born in Indiana inherently makes for a better Indiana Hoosiers basketball player.

Pass!!!

At least Prolific Prep is an Addidas school.

Wonder what the kick back is to this place...... beyond the tuition.

Yeah, I'll take Waters any day of the week over Scruggs.

I'm sure they have some way of gouging college coaches that want access as well.

So true. Maybe he thinks that this will get him more "exposure," but is he really lacking in that category? If the NBA is his goal then the schools on his list can get him there. It's not like he's really going to be playing against much better teams than he would have at Southport. A lot of these basketball prep schools are highly ranked, but they would probably lose to the top 4a teams in Indiana. They're full of highly ranked players but their games seem to look more like aau games.

Maybe it just boils down to wanting to hang out in Cali for a year before going to school in the Midwest and then getting drafted and go who knows where. I can understand that.

All lost in this discussion is school started a month ago. So, what happened? And when? Something stinks in suburbia! ( to quote one of the best 80s movies of all time)

This, so much this. So many different reasons could be behind it. School vs. out of school, basketball vs. non basketball, parents vs. Paul, recruiting? Just don't like the idea of going to Pro Prep. It's in Napa right?

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,394]

Yes Napa. IMO, this is 100% a basketball move but why?

Why are top notch Indiana kids so suspect in dirty recruiting? Oh wait, because all top notch recruits are.

Bluiett, Lyle, Lyles, Dawson, Swangian, etc, etc.

I'm assuming no, but was Paul playing football again this year? That would make it even stranger, leaving mid-season.

Edit: He wasn't.

He probably doesn't want everyone to see him getting his ass handed to him by Romeo again in the state semifinals, that wouldn't be good for his image or ranking.

That isn't really fair, Romeo is the 2nd ranked player in his class and probably the best IN guard since Eric Gordon.
