Juwan Durham is going to UCONN not DUKE*
I wasn’t a big fan of this year’s Gonzaga team but in the past I was a fan of the Pangos/Olynyk led teams. I like their 2016 recruits and think they did very well especially on the verge of losing Sabonis and Wiltjer. Some combination of Collins, Tilley, Norvell and Hachimora will keep them relevant.

Josh Jackson to Kansas seems more likely. We’ve seen Kansas pull off last second commitments from elite recruits plenty of times. With Seldon leaving and Ellis leaving Kansas will need someone to run the offense through. Jackson will essentially have all the opportunity to prove himself as a franchise player and aloud to operate like Andrew Wiggins had in the past for Bill Self.
Sean Miller has produced some very good players recently RHJ, and Stanley Johnson yet neither is a featured offensive player yet meaning neither got drafted into that role. Self has made this work and produced prospects that NBA teams drafted to be franchise players. Sean Miller as good as he is doesn’t have the same track record as Bill Self and his team has York returning, and two Top 20-2016 ball dominant gaurds Simmons and Fultz- coming in, and that’s assuming Trier doesn’t return. I think at the end of the day that will be the deciding factor.

  Aside from Wiggins (he was going to be a great whether he went to Kansas or not) who has Bill Self produced that turned out to be a franchise player?

  I always sort of group those two together in my head since they are both big combo gaurds and both sort of inbetween elite prospect and elite potential range and not quite the top of the list.

Justin Jackson isn’t going anywhere. We’re likely going to hire Chris Beard. He can recruit. He got a four star player to pledge to Arkansas Little Rock.

I think josh Jackson would fit better at Arizona, and Ferguson would fit better at Kansas. I hate seeing talented players go to systems and teams that aren’t suited for them, and then them struggling, but it seems to happen every year

I don’t want either to go to Zona because Ray Smith is a baller and that’s going to push someone to the bench. I wonder if Tier leaves as well.

Hype Machine
Good effort to make such a comprehensive list.
Not seeing Harry Froling in the top 10 of the Committed list feels like a glaring omission. The Hoops Summit will turn heads.
And excluding Dejan Vaseljevic (Miami) from the underrated section shows just how underrated he is. Hes been killing in local comps these last few weeks. I think hes the next Marco Bellenelli.

Tony Bradley is not much of an NBA prospect and I agree with that. However, in terms of college impact, he will be top 15 and a problem for 4 years at UNC. His game is not sexy by any means, but he is more than ready for college. I liken him as a post version of Luke Kennard, in that both will likely be at their respective schools for 4 years and be fantastic from day 1.
Kwe Parker is a bad basketball player. The guy will have a future as a harlem globetrotter, but he has no IQ, no handle and no jumpshot. Poor man’s JP Tokoto. I hope Kwe is reading this because he has the tools to be special but man he has a TON of work to do.
