I am kind of shocked Zags would have an article like this. He usually is flaming the go pro side of it, which I think is terrible. These kids hear nothing but biased and/or self-serving opinions about how they are going to be all-stars and first round picks.
The first scout seems kind of clueless to me...the second scout hits the nail on the head with everyone.
I am the biggest Harrison fan out there, but he has absolutely no shot in the NBA. He is soooooooo slow and he looks like he's 6'1 because he has poor length. There is literally no chance he plays in the NBA...which is a shame because he has all the skill in the world. There are plenty of faster 6'5 -6'8 guards with superior length would be able to stay in front of him have plenty of time to recover if he gets a step on them, and send his shot into the stand multiple times every game. He won't be able to separate from anyone. And who would he guard?
One thing that concerns me ,is it is not inconceivable that Jorden, CO, and Sampson could leave for the NBA next year. If that happens all of our core players will be gone. Balamou and Jones are question marks and neither were ranked high in HS.
We really need to get a couple of descent recruits this year and start grooming them. Like Moose says we don't want to be starting from scratch in 15. Of course if we could get studs like Diello and Brisque that would soften the blow somewhat.

I really can't stand this type of logic, no offense. If any of our kids bolts for the NBA, it will mean that they've broken through and had a ton of success over the rest of the season, including post-season. Would you tell one of your kids to stay in school if Google, or Goldman Sachs offered them $500,000 per year for a job that might not be there in a year? Leaving early is a bi-product of a successful program and it's something we have to live with. It's one reason we've hired a great recruiter like Lavin. But you can rest easy, because no one is leaving for the NBA after this season.
He is talking about next season and we already have three spots to fill this year and four spots next year. It is important to bring in a couple of players this year to keep the classes even unless Lavin expects to sign at least seven strong players in the 2015 class.

Im not talking about this year. I am talking about next year when we will loose DLO, Greene, Branch,Pointer and anybody else who may get drafted..One thing that concerns me ,is it is not inconceivable that Jorden, CO, and Sampson could leave for the NBA next year.

Richard, I understand your concern, but I don't think it's warranted. These guys are not going anywhere. This years NBA Draft is extremely deep. Those three guys would not get drafted if the draft were held tomorrow. Barring a sensational end of the season run by this team where all three of those guys play phenomenal, they are not going anywhere.
