Hoops Recruiting Notes

Story on how development on fundamentals is more important than contracts. Easier said than done........... Here's a week-old story on Adam Williams, the UK recruit who was convinced by Tubby Smith to go to prep school for a year. Quote - "They need Randolph Morris more than they need me," Williams said, candidly, before adding, "which is common sense. If people can't see that, then I don't know what they're looking at. I need to go to prep school.". I guess turnabout is fair play, as the more talented kids get to do what suits them best. In this case, Tubby gets to do what's best for his program............ Here's more biased UK media coverage trying to convince Morris to go there................. Here's a story about the new academic rules with a pot-shot on Coach Hewitt at the very end. Obviously the writer has not looked at the details of the GT graduation rate, nor actually looked at the years the study cited (he says it refers to "the past 6 years" - NOT)............. Here's some interesting comments about the players who have declared for the draft. Did you know that the entire USAToday Prep 1st team this year has declared for the draft - the first time that has even happened................ One last story on S.Telfair.

Here's a short blurb on 6'8" Juan Diego Tello-Palacious, who is expected to sign with Louisville anytime. Evidently Coach Hewitt made a late push for him. Kind of makes me wonder about our real probably of landing R.Morris - but we will know for sure in one more day.
