"Like 4 out of 5 things you say on OKP offend me." -FireBrand

for me, i have 5 things.

1. weather
2. women
3. unchecked green light
4. don't have to go to class
5. national exposure

so i'd be looking at Kentucky, Florida, Texas or UCLA.

of course i say all of this KNOWING that my family would not let me go anywhere but UNC. it just wouldn't happen.

but left up to me? i couldn't play for Roy Williams lmao.

and UCLA off because:

A. I imagine the on-campus woman selection to be sub-par...unless you're into Asain chicks

B. You can be GOD in a smaller town like Austin, but I get the impression that in order to reach that status as a college athlete in LA, you have to be a USC football player.

I want play somewhere that is as close as you can get to being a lock to play in the tournament and have a chance to contend for a deep run in my one year. I want to play on TV all the time and in front of a lot of people every home game, and play for a basketball first school with top facilities and a deep tradition.

And I want to get out and play ball with some freedom. No minimize the number of possessions, stall ball, hold it for 30 seconds every possession ending up with 52-50 final scores, so that eliminates a lot of leagues and schools.

You took that away from not me wanting to play that bullshit, boring, limit possesions ball that's taking over the country?

And Syracuse suspended Fab Melo before the NCAA's in a year where they were clearly one of the top 2 teams all year long and it cost them a chance at a national title, so I'm not hearing that.

I didn't really infer anything from what you said, I just added my own comments.
Imma let you go on ahead and finish your recruiting pitch though lol.

Who I still maintain was a much better POINT than McNamara on those teams.

Those dudes basically have carte blanche, much like at any other highly ranked D1 program. The difference is we take on more talented headcases than most. If someone gets suspended then that means their offenses could potentially put the whole program in jeopardy.

2nd time around (when he was reinstated after the rape charge) Edelin was just being a real dumbass and he had our freshman players rolling with him so it became an even bigger problem. I believe those freshmen ended up missing the NCAA tourney messing around with his dumb ass. Of course after that Edelin was gone for good.

Ball players should get the best in every setting, and
the best on every college campus is really good looking

Its the average student that benefits from really good
looking campuses

but I feel like playing against MEAC comp might drop your draft stock a little. Didn't OJ Mayo consider FAMU?

I mean most of these 1 and done guys would get taken top 5 if they could come right out of high school playing against even worse competition.

If you went to the MEAC and put up 35 points a game, went to the tourney, maybe pulled an upset win or two, you'd still be top 5

Even if you went there dominated and your team sucked and did nothing in March you'd probably still be top 10.

He was considered a lotto lock, and he went to North Texas largely for that reason-- doesn't matter where you go, as long as you dominate, right?

Flash forward through his on-and-off season, and there he is in the second round.

Maybe if you're Lebron or KD, consistent domination comes and is easy... but most frosh college players considered can't-miss prospects have bad games, and if the team around you can't help you find your rhythm in those bad games? You could be the next Tony Mitchell.

If he was decided to be one and done (in a year he dominated that conference) he woulda clearly still been lotto.

He came back, a new coaching hire and got kinda lazy. All his fault.

He clearly swept the glass, but the team still lost nine games with him, during which he averaged 11.8 PPG, and they missed the tourney. On a better team, he's still talented enough to get 28 minutes a game, and even if he doesn't average a double double due to spreading the wealth, his team wins more games, they make the tourney, he gets to show and prove on the biggest stage, and he gets to increase his stock.

Instead, he struggled during conference games, missed the dance, and would've likely been a fringe lotto pick at best.

And even Mitchell WANTED to go to a bigger school, he just didn't qualify academically. Big name guys just don't go to those smaller schools, because it doesn't minimize risk at all-- it maximizes it. Fewer minutes and stats on a winning higher profile team is always better for draft stock.

he fucked up.

So if you're a can't miss prospect and you go to a small school for a one and done and you have the opportunity at lotto you've done well for yourself. You're point out flaws from his freshman season that still had him ranked at/near lotto. Nothing wrong with that.

As for year 2...which is the reason his stock plummeted...laziness, coaching change and massive underachievement for himself numbers wise and the team.

If you want to get technical about it. I was saying fringe lotto to be generous.

He was projected to go behind Waiters, Leonard, Marshall, Lamb, and Ross-- all players he was higher ranked than leaving high school.

He had better stats as a freshman than Leonard or Waiters did as sophomores, and better than all of them had as freshmen. Why, then, was he projected behind them in the draft? Exactly.

Your school choice makes a big difference regarding exposure and "big games," which makes a big difference on your draft stock for 99.5% of players.

If he'd been a surefire lotto pick, which a young highly touted 6'9 athletic PF should be, he would've left after freshman year. He returned BECAUSE he felt he could take his team to the tourney-- but, again, he learned (my point) that being by far the most talented dude in the conference does not guarantee you a conference title and a tourney spot.

Not trying to be a dick about this or anything-- there's just a clear reason why a highly touted high school recruit going to a mid-major is super super rare.

especially since most mocks still had him as mid-late round this year.
So if everything went down but this yr his mock position was still the same.


Dude im not saying he shoulda went to north texas. But he did his job after year 1 and would have been in the same position if he went to a bigger school after year 1. Would year 2 have been to his benefit at a big school? Sure...more help/talent to take attention and probably not a coaching change that would have affected him as much.

Either way I think you're backtracking and didn't want to let you out of it. Since you're not going to admit it, we can end it here.

1. All freshmen have bad games.
2. Bigger schools are far safer, even for one-and-dones.
3. Dominating isn't easy, even for one-and-dones at mid-majors, because it's a team sport.

There's a reason one and dones don't choose mid majors or HBCUs. Simple as that. Whether you think Tony Mitchell is an example of a guy who could've gone higher after frosh year with a major team or not is your opinion.

that were decent recruits that went there, but given the amount of talent in this area, I have been waiting for Howard or Morgan State to land one of the 5 star kids and a couple of 3-4 star kids in one class and make a run.

it boggles my mind why HU doesnt HOUSE dc talent!

like...ok we wont be in play for the 5 & 4 stars but you cant convince me we couldnt get some of these 3, 2 star cats

or the under the radar w/ academic issues cats

throw them bammas in cook hall w/ amajor in physical education & assign em a coed each to be their "tutor" & lets fucking win the MEAC & see what happens fuck it


does it even matter?

play against your peers in a familiar environment and be in the primary pipeline/preparation for the pros.

i dont begrudge the guys that go to europe but it's a pretty shitty option. the pay won't be that great, the adjustment in lifestyle is enormous and you're playing against grown men professionals.

as i have said over and over, we need a basketball minor league in the US for people who can't go to or stay in college, and also for guys who have had some college experience but aren't quite ready. the guys who have gone to europe or israel so far have proven it's not an ideal route for a college freshman IMO.

edit: what college would i choose? well, if i was a can't miss, i'd choose off perks, chicks, etc and how shit convened for me. if i was just a good shot pro prospect, probably somewhere like kansas or msu, a place that's competitive but isn't necessarily all 10-day contract players on their way to the pros.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Exposure to great coaches, great atmospheres, get to play against your peers, and you get to partake in some great rivalries, particularly if you chose the latter.

Imagine 2 1 and done stars do this. The team probably goes undefeated unless they have a really hard OOC schedule.

I'm not saying they are a top seed, but with 2 of the best players in the country and a possible undefeated schedule don't you think they wind up at the worst an 11 or 10?

if only it weren't, you know, in Kentucky

If you care about the quality of your eventual college degree and/or are a nerd, Duke is the best degree one can get while competing for a title.

After that, I'd think about schools with coaches with proven track records of success and go with what fits your style. Are you a flashy dude? Go to UK. Blue-collar type? MSU. Somewhere in between? My first choice would be Kansas... or honestly, just go to Kentucky. If you're *that* can't-miss, Cal will know how to use you.

The biggest mistake sure thing players make is going to a school where their team under-achieves early in the season (both Barnes and Muhammad)-- showing weakness out of the gate immediately dips a consensus preseason #1 pick faster than anything else. Go to the school where you're a lock to be in the Top 10 all year, you'll be on TV a lot, you have big-time pre-conference games, and even if you struggle to find your footing early, you have the quality of teammates around you and the quality coach at the helm to support you and lift you to the big early wins necessary to keep stock from dipping.

Of course, that's in a world where this can't-miss prospect cares about development, going #1 for certain, etc. In reality, it doesn't matter where you go, as long as YOU don't show vulnerability. No matter where you ball, if you're that good, people will notice...

... but if you ball for Duke, UK, Kansas, or MSU, your odds at a #1 pick drastically increase due to exposure.

Play for a year and return to finish my degree after my NBA
career. Maybe cop an MBA and then start a business that
will immediately have more legitimacy with my academic
connections and pedigree.

<-- BAUGH SO HARD

maybe even Northwestern would be good choices for your plan, but Harvard could hurt your NBA prospects. I'd much rather be a former 1st tound draft pick with a Georgetown degree than a 2nd round pick with a Harvard degree.
