JT3 has a great eye for talent. Witney might be the best prospect out west in 08' and Thompson might be the best prospect out west in 09'.

[Oh My!]

I can think of several '09 players out West who rank higher than Hollis Thompson, not the least of which is Renardo Sidney.

I don't compare wing players (Thompson) with post players(Sidney), or guards (Holliday) with centers (Witney). Sidney is probably the best prospect in the country. I used the word "might" to describe Thompson, because he is quickly developing and has great upside.

Thompson is developing into a good one, and it is good that he is already very high on GU. That does not mean that he won't end up at UCLA, nor does it mean the GU won't just stay local in 09'(Judge, Armwood, Taylor...). It would be nice to get a kid like Thompson out to visit this summer in somekind of unofficial capacity, so the coaches can determine how serious he is about coming east. He visited GU as a freshman, and really liked it, so we will see if his game has improved to the level of earning a GU schollie.

Chuck,
I appreciate your starting these threads about possible targets, but for those of us w/o any real clue on recruiting, could you also say a bit about them? I'm not asking for a treatise, but a paragraph on each new recruit would be awesome.

Thanks.

TBird,

Did you really just use the word treatise on a basketball message board?

LOL. I just had a college flashback.

Thanks Chuck. I appreciate it.

And yes, Nathan, I did. Sorry if you didn't learn it in it in the MSB

Now now TBird, no need to get all personal just because you had classes on Friday and had to write.....what's the word, you know the really long paper that takes up all your time, oh yeah a thesis (sorry my poor MSB educated failed me again), to graduate.

Just a point: If you have class on Friday, that doesn't mean you have to go.

If we consider Texas as part of the west, then I would include Nolan Dennis(6'6 SG)
as one of the best wings that GU has a good shot at also.

Point #2--I didn't write a thesis. Didn't have to.

"Disquisition" is clearly a better choice for a basketball message board.
