Maybe more Andre Igoudala (sp?) at this stage than Scottie Pippen...but that would be great... In addition to being a Hell of a player, Iguodala is a close personal friend of Harry Do tell Elvado... And since he's a friend of Harry's, I'll root for him to get healthy for the finals.

I'm telling you, this young man will be a starter day one. It's as if he was destined to play for Coach Ewing and Georgetown and I can't wait to watch him and his classmates return the Hoyas to our rightful place atop the BE and college basketball....... OK, I'm calming down.

Andre visited Harry in the hospital when he was still very ill. Could not have been kinder. Hung out and played with him, gave him some sneakers and gear and wore a Team Harry wristband in the next game. Has stayed in touch even after the move west. Just a wonderful guy.

It's as if he was destined to play for Coach Ewing and Georgetown and I can't wait to watch him and his classmates return the Hoyas to our rightful place atop the BE and college basketball....... OK, I'm calming down. In the final RSCI top 100, no Georgetown players made the list. 24. Jahvon Quinerly, Villanova 36. Cole Swider, Villanova 44. David Duke, Providence 45. A.J. Reeves, Providence 50. Brandon Slater, Villanova 55. Joey Hauser, Marquette Just under the wire: Marcus Zegarowski, Creighton It's no guarantee that three top 50 players at Villanova are going to be more impactful than what is at Georgetown, but Ewing's second class is much more on potential than rankings. What and where a mid-range player fits in Ewing's offense is much more important, especially given the run of inconsistent forwards over the past five years. What I am really looking for is an on-court leader, the player that is visibly leading the team, getting them focused at the foul line or helping set up defenses. Markel Starks was the last floor general like that and no one has taken that role for a while now.

Markel Starks was the last floor general like that and no one has taken that role for a while now. While McClung is spectacular, the two guys in this class who scream out leader are Akinjo and LeBlanc. They both look like they would not hesitate to set a teammate straight if necessary. My fondest wish is that LeBlanc is a taller more explosive Eric Smith.

Markel Starks was the last floor general like that and no one has taken that role for a while now. James Akinjo is actually #88, but they still have him listed at UConn. That list is far less useful than it used to be. The 24/7 composite does a much better job of gathering up-to-date rankings from the top services. And try to find the Van Coleman top 100 somewhere...

Josh's ranking was affected by the fact that he missed almost the entire season.

If LeBlanc has the athleticism of Godwin Owinje, the craftiness of Tres kilpatrick and ferocious dunkabikity of Johnny Jones we are on to something....

Brand was a bulky, supreme post player who had no faceup game and could not guard perimeter players. Nothing alike.

Josh is a long armed, rangy athlete who is more a small forward who'll probably be called on to defend some power forwards from time to time but like Iguodala has the natural ability to guard 1 through 4. He's a very exciting prospect.

When you hear stories like this it reminds you the capacity of the human spirit. They say game knows game and I'm sure when Andre 1st met Harry he knew he was meeting someone special as did Harry. So I'll now consider Andre an honorary Hoya and I'll always root for him although he's never played for my team. Harry Saxa!

Kahwi Leonard type when Leonard was a freshman at San Diego State. Somewhat raw offensively (in terms of scoring off the bounce) but highly athletic quick twitch athlete that can defend multiple positions and will score in a variety of ways off of energy and athleticism...

Out of all the descriptions, this is what I see as well.
