Cincy:

Yancy Gates- Big bodied 6’9 265 lb post man at the PF spot…Knows how to score without the ball…Has a (wildly inconsistent) jumper with range to the college 3…Good turnaround jumper down low…At his best, he can mix power and finesse moves down low…Shaky rebounder for his size…Can disappear for stretches of games… Gets out of shape…2nd round 2011 prospect until he gets more productive

UConn:

Kemba Walker- Extremely confident, charismatic PG…Super quick and athletic…Looks outstanding on D…Has promising leadership skills…A slasher…Tough..Pretty good passer…Very shaky shooter right now…Gets out of control…Not very strong and has a pretty small frame (6’0 180)…Inefficient…He’s a likely mid-1st round pick in 2011. T.J. Ford comparisons

Alex Oriakhi- Rugged 6’9 PF who isn’t a talented scorer or offensive player…Good rebounder and post defender…Nice length and athleticism…High motor..Has to be set up around the rim to score…Needs time, but he’s a 2012 or 2013 prospect.

Jamal Coombs McDaniel- 6’7 SF can handle the ball and has some all-around skills…Good athlete….Length and quickness help him on D some…Not strong and lacks a very consistent shooting stroke..2012 or 2013 prospect, but he has a raw game that could be well-rounded with time

G’Town:

Austin Freeman- Great shooter…Extremely efficient too…More than a spot-up guy too for what its worth…Has Paul Pierce-like body fat, but with much less length and a 6’4 frame..Lacks athleticism, quickness, and handles…Low defensive potential..Could have a chance, but he’s a long-shot NBA guy

Chris Wright- 6’1 PG with good slashing skills..Nice strength and decent athleticism…OK shot, but not much range…Good D…Not a pure playmaker, but good enough to be a PG…3 ball could improve..Another long-shot, but has a chance

Louisville:

Peyton Siva- Love this 6’1 PG’s talent…Very nice shot…Great athlete with a flashy game fans love…Makes truly dazzling slashes and finishes at the rim…Good handles and passing skills…Can be TO prone…Not a very good defender, which kept him off the floor a bit as a FR…Should make big strides next year…2012 1st round prospect

Terrence Jennings- Skinny 6’11 PF who has to be set up at the basket to score…Great athlete with high-level quickness for his size…EXTREMELY raw on both ends…Needs time, but he has some upside…Should produce more with Samuels gone

Marquette:

Jimmy Butler- Very good athlete..Prototypical size for a SG/SF at 6’7 220…Good slasher…Can rebound from the wing…Work in progress as a shooter, but is decent….Nice D….SLEEPER PROSPECT for 2011

Darius Johnson-Odom- Strong 6’2 guard with a nice left-handed shooting stroke..Good athlete…Defends like you’d expect a Marquette guy to…Not a PG…Has mediocre handles for a guy his size…He’s a 2012 or 2013 guy

Vander Blue- Very athletic guard with high-level defensive skills…Can play both guard spots…6’3 without much PG skills…Can slash to the rim…Needs to improve shot..Seems like a 3 or 4 year guy

Jamail Jones- SLEEPER freshman…Great athlete with an NBA body as a freshman (6’6 200)…Pretty good shooter…Can slash to the rim in straight-lines..Plays strong D…Needs to improve his handle…You heard it here 1st, he will be a highly-discussed 2012 prospect

Pitt:

Ashton Gibbs- His shot is cash…Really can get his shots of in different ways…Should be a darkhorse All-American pick…At 6’2 he’s a SG which limits his NBA upside..Not a very good ball-handler or athlete…Or slasher…Decent on D, but limited potential on that end….2013 guy…

Dante Taylor- Athletic and raw PF with upside…6’8 220 with a massive frame to get bigger…Has developing face-up skills..Seems lazy…Chris Taft 2.0?

Rutgers:

Dane Miller- 6’6 swingman with nice upside…Good athlete with long arms…Can defend…Decent handles…Needs to greatly improve his jump shot and basketball IQ…Long term prospect with some talent

Seton Hall:

Jeremy Hazell- 6’5 volume scorer with the ability to go on game-changing hot streaks on the floor…Good shooter…Can make pull-up jumpers from mid-range…Average athlete and ball-handler…Selfish and a bit of a chucker….Defense? ha…..Morris Almond clone

Jeff Robinson- 6’8 combo forward with freakish athleticism…Not a shot-creator…Can’t do anything other than score off of rebounds/loose balls and in transition..

Herb Pope- A wide-bodied 6’8 PF who really isn’t all that talented…Crazily good rebounder, especially offensively…Has soft shooting touch…Long arms…Plays like a 6’8 C…Lacks athleticism…Not a great scorer in the post…Has legit character concerns…A 2nd round 2011 prospect now.

St. Johns:

D.J. Kennedy- Athletic 6’6 guy who plays strong D…Can make open jumpers…Good passing skills…Rebounds well from the wingCan play and defend all 3 perimeter spots..Looks good in transition…Not a great ball-handler…Late 1st-early 2nd round pick in 2011…Mikael Pietrus comparison

Syracuse:

Kris Joseph- Like this guy alot…Can really handle the ball and has some raw point-forward skills at 6’7….Very great athlete…Long frame…Excellent defensive and rebounding potential on the wing…Not a good shooter yet…Can be TO prone..Late lotto to mid 1st rounder when he comes out….Plays a bit like Andre Iguodala to me

Fab Melo- 7’0 285 lb C with huge defensive presence…Will be a shot-blocker…Has huge potential…Can face-up a little and post on O…Has a good low post game already, but it needs polish…Needs time to reach potential…Comparable to Andrew Bynum

Rick Jackson- Bullish 6’9 240 PF…Fights to carve out space…Pretty good shot-blocker…Long arms…Not a talented offensive player, but can score if set up right…Great rebounder…Physical, but also a bit foul prone…Will miss easy shots at times…Still, could be a Ronny Turiaf type in the NBA if everything goes right

Brandon Triche- At 6’4 has nice size and strength…Can score a little…Will make open shots…OK athlete…Not a PG at all really right now…Long-term prospect

Villanova:

Corey Fisher- Great athlete with explosive quickness…Aggressive slasher…Can score off the bounce…Pressure defender…Not a natural PG at 6’1…Looks more natural when creating for himself…Gets wild and inefficient alot of times…Not a great decision-maker yet…Mediocre shot…

Dominik Cheeks- A wing shooter with upside and good athleticism at 6’6…Looks like T.I….Plays solid D…Needs to get stronger and improve his handle to take the next step…

Yarou- A 6’10 banger..Has the potential to rebound and defend well down low…Good athlete with great strength..Surprisingly decent mid-range shot when left open…Raw offensive player right now, but he doesn’t have a high skill-level anyway…Long term guy

West Virginia:

Kevin Jones- A mismatch PF who is the most energetic player in all of college basketball IMO…Has long arms…Great offensive rebounder…Not a big talent…Makes open jump shots…Can post some PF’s…Late 1st or early 2nd round 2011 guy…

[JRdaFilipinoParticipant]

isnt corey fisher gonna transfer?? he got scottie reynolds girl pregnant lol and apparently jay wright wants to get him off the team for chemistry reasons

[JNixonParticipant]

Really? He’s transferring because of that? Had no idea..

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

That was a Hoax. It wasn’t real.

Iggy 9, what about Ajter Mojak for UCONN?

[DanEboyParticipant]

Iggy, Go Warriors! Jones IS a sleeper at Marquette, you are the only one talking about him.

And I have always liked Jimmy Butler’s game. The guy has a knack for getting to the free throw line and can play D.

It is time to see if Buzz can recruit the state of Wisconsin.

[topscoutParticipant]

Malik wayns strong point guard great penetrator

[JNixonParticipant]

Damn I forgot about Wayns…..Smh.

My scouting report on Ater Majok:

Ater Majok- Ugliest man on PLANET EARTH.

[WizardofOzParticipant]

What about Corey Stokes?

[ghettosermonParticipant]

Corey Stokes isn’t a complete enough player. He shows flashes but doesn’t really have it all together. He’s got a nice NBA body and decent defender. Offensively though he’s a mess. He just chucks up threes. His shooting is extremely inconsistent. He is incapable of creating his own shot and a lot of this has to do with ball handling. He’s like an extremely poor man’s Dajuan Summers but shorter.

[Demarcus OnealParticipant]

These are great writeups what conferences are left? and what about JaVaughn Pinkston coming to Villanova and Scoop Jardine

[TRC1991Participant]

what about Augustus Gilchrist massive 6’10” 235 lb. frame from South Florida

[sayounhParticipant]

I went to school with Ater Majok for a short while back when I was living in Australia. He’s really tall ,lanky and athletic, but has been playing competetive basketball for only a few years. I think he’ll need all four years to become NBA ready. But seeing how he declared for the draft after his freshman year, in which he didn’t play a single game, I have a feeling he’s going to try to come out early.

[JNixonParticipant]

If I could go back and edit this post I would…I left off a few guys that I shouldn’t have. My bad.

[McDunkin]

1. Good job once again jnixon

2. The babies x-rays already showed it had a slight “faux hawk”… that same afternoon Taylor King quit the team…coincidence? I think not

[BasterdInABasketParticipant]

“It is time to see if Buzz can recruit the state of Wisconsin” ???

He has signed jerronne maymon and vander blue out of madison and he got jamil wilson of racine to transfer from oregon. He also got buycks from milwaukee out of a JC. What do you mean by that?

[bobbybParticipant]
