2015 seems pretty important for us in terms of bigs, and point guards. We're on a lot of PG's and sit pretty well there, but it's definitely good to see us putting in some work with the bigs of the class

6'10 215. He'd definitely get bigger if he came here similar to Noah Vonleh. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Not bad timing on Coach's part considering ESPN2 put on one awesome "Cream and Crimson" recruiting seminar for us last night. :yes: .  If I were a Washington fan I would have had to mute that broadcast at about 6 minutes into the game and prayed I was located where I could pick up a Washington Huskies radio broadcast.  Got to love the way the went on about Noah, Troy and the Freshman Class! 

[Dalton26 16,891]

He's already getting an Insane amount of Tweets from IU fans. I'd really like to see us get this kid.

Ohio State next saturday for an unofficial! Bout to be turnt in Columbus!

Nike Explosion last weekend in GA.

Host school Wheeler's star juniors Jaylen Brown (No. 12) and Daniel Giddens (No. 18) were the highest ranked players at the event on Saturday. They certainly played like it in a big win over Lithonia (Ga.) Miller Grove. 

Also a five-star, Giddens didn't put up the stats that Brown did, but he made his presence felt in the paint gobbling up rebounds and blocking or altering shots all game long.

 

With Giddens, it's not about what kind of player he is right now, college coaches recruiting him are looking at him as somebody that could develop into a very good post player if he can become more consistent with his offense. He's starting to show flashes offensively, but it's his presence in the paint on both ends that has the biggest impact on games right now.

 

Florida State, Georgia Tech and Tennessee had assistant coaches in the building to see the Wheeler duo. Along with those schools, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisville, Maryland, Ohio State and more are actively recruiting Brown and Giddens.

So he's another "project" big man... meh

A four year player with extraordinary ability is not a "meh".

Sounds a lot like Hanner, Jurkin, Bawa...

Hanner's potential has nothing whatsoever in common with the potential of PJ or Bawa.

You let me add a Hanner Perea to the team every three years?
I would be thrilled.

You're entitled to your opinion. I just would rather have a polished big man than Hanner 2.0.

Thank you for entitling me to my opinion! (tic)

Are you asking me if I'd rather have the next Noah Vonleh instead? Sure!
Or, are you wondering whether an ultra-athletic rim protector that our staff feels will develop is a great get? Absolutely; want that kid too.

I'm just saying I think 2 project big men on a roster is enough... Although it might only be one next year.

I agree with this.

However, by the time 2015 rolls around, the chances of PJ still being on the team are pretty darn low, and the chances of Hanner still being an unfulfilled project are also quite low.

That would mean that any project big man who comes in 2015 would be the only project big, with Hanner, Luke, Devin, and Jeremy holding down the PF and C spots.

I agree that Jurkin will be gone, thats why I said 1.
