I always thought those Bucks teams were underrated. Pressey, Moncrief, Alvin Robertson, who was the other cat? Not Fred Roberts. Jack Sikma, Paul Mokeski, and Randy Breuer formed the ugliest big man rotation of all time.

Naw, it was another guard. I knew them cats. Don't forget and old Mo Lucus was on that squad too.

Terry Cummings with his shady eyebrows (or lack thereof) was the man on that squad.

Sounds like a steal of a pickup, imo, but I really know nothing about recruiting.

By Frank Burlison, Sports Columnist, a favorable opinion of Riley during the LeBron James Skills Academy:
One person's opinion (mine) as to the best half-dozen high school players in the camp over the first two days (in no particular order): 6-9 John Henson (Rock Rock, Texas), 6-3 John Wall (Raleigh, N.C.), 7-0 DaShonte Riley (Detroit), 6-6 Michael Gilcrest (Somerdale, N.J.), 6-6 Xavier Henry (Oklahoma City) and 6-10 DeMarcus Cousins (Birmingham, Ala.).
By Jerry Meyer, Rivals Analyst, at the LeBron James Skills Academy:
DaShonte Riley- After a less than inspiring spring, perhaps a light has turned on for the near 7-footer with a 7-foot-4 wing span. His effort level and mental focus was much improved here at camp. He did score the ball some, but his main impact was on the defensive end where he proved very difficult to score over.

I was at RBK U yesterday and will post more info later. I just wanted to post a few things I heard some of which confirms what has already been stated in this thread.
Reebok: 1. Thomas Robinson was a beast yesterday. Arguably the best player in camp on day 1. I know the Hoyas are involved. I'll try to find out, but does anyone know how much mutual interest exists? 2. Terrel Vinson was pretty disappointing yesterday. He is playing on a "every man for yourself team" so that could be impacting his play. 3. Players listing Gtown - Terrel Vinson, Brandon Triche, Karron Johnson, CJ Fair, Chris Coleman 6'11 C 2011 (looks like a very good prospect)
Nike: 1. Riley is having a really strong week, playing hard, and looks to be playing like a top 25 player again. 2. Dante Taylor is continuing his outstanding summer/spring. Putting up big numbers against top competition. I want this kid, Cheek, or Kelly to round out the class. I'm hearing Pitt might be the leader. Are we strongly in the mix? 3. Gilchrist 2011 - multiple people have told me that he was the best prospect at either camp. He is not only an elite prospect but already very productive.
Adidas: 1. Josh Hairstion - despite listing 5 schools, it is supposedly a 2-horse race between Duke and VT. Supposedly VT has a legitimate shot.
USA U-18 1. Lance Stephenson - was cut from the team. I was told that he was the best individual player at the camp, but doesn't know how to play with other top players.

So, he has a 7'4" wingspan and Vaughn has a 7'3". What about Sims and Monroe?

I don't think we're really in play for Dante Taylor.
Dominic Cheek doesn't sound like he's anywhere near choosing -- I guess we have have as a chance as any one of ten or so schools.
Ryan Kelly is very much a possibility. I've only seen highlights, but he seems like an almost perfect offensive fit.

I hope we're still in the mix for hairston. If he has to not come here i'd rather see him go anywhere but duke.

Maybe the Hairston kid is afraid to come to a school that will have a potential front line with Vaughan(sr.), Monroe (jr.), Sims (Jr.), Riley (So.). Just a thought. I can't think of any legit bigs Duke or VaTech will have in the next three years but I admittedly don't know their recruits.

Hairston's mom is a VTech grad and it's close--which is one of the factors in his final decision. Highly doubt he goes to Ohio State--they have DeShaun Thomas back in fold with Jared Sullinger already committed--both in same class as Josh--but my contact at Ohio State is now gone. I've heard Hoyas are still very much in his recruitment-so I'm not counting them out.
Dante Taylor lists Hoyas time to time--but no way he ends up at Georgetown.
Michael Gilchrist is a very talented kid/smart player--but Memphis is his early leader. Lists Worldwise Wes as his "Uncle". Good luck to anyone else with him.
Karron Johnson--has visited a few times, lists Hoyas but don't see him being a Hoya--word I was told--he loves Memphis and he would be an odd fit for Georgetown.
Ryan Kelly is a talented guy--but when looking at Current Hoya roster--he is an undersized/finesse PF--he's not quick enough to play SF in Big East. He would be a liability on defensive end no matter what spot he plays--be it undersized PF or SF--where he couldn't handle the quickness of a SF. I'd rather see someone like Spurlock who can guard up/down and is more versatile if Hoyas take another in '09. Kelly can shoot the ball--but there is more to basketball then just shooting and in terms of the roster makeup--not sure he'd be ideal fit at this time. Good player--but sometimes it's about what team needs.
If you want to go big--as in PF-don't forget about Mouph Tarou or Yarou--seen it reported differently. Guy was co-MVP of Eastern Invitational--goes 6'10 240 and lists Hoyas with interest. Originally from Africa, plays with DC Blue Devils and had 22 and 12 on DeMarcus Cousins in an AAU Event--believe it was Boo Williams Tournament. That is same guy that Rivals is slurping Alex Oriakhi (UConn commit) for outplaying at Nike.
My personal choice for '09 recruits would be Mouph if you go PF--or Spurlock if you went SF type--because he's more versatile/can defend multiple spots and handles ball very well.
Kelly is a very good player--but roster makeup is my only hangup--he's not a SF athletically speaking--skill wise he can shoot/handle is improved--but is he quick enough to defend/use his dribble in Big East at SF spot?
