4. Elbert Robinson (2014 center Dallas Seawolves): The big man from Dallas was getting the best of Cliff Alexander early. He overpowered Alexander with his big frame on the block and he had a few slams. When the game speed up, Robinson couldn’t keep up with the pace. They key for him to reach his ceiling is to get in better shape to play good minutes at the college level. baylor.247sports.com/Article/MBB-Las-Vegas-Friday-notebook-140931

gonbadraft.com @magneto14 27 Jul Dallas Seawolves coach saif that Jahlil Okafor was afraid to play Elbert Robinson and faked sick. Then he played the next game. @ianapowers lol… Jahlil’s not afraid of anyone but still funny Actually I agree with the coach's assessment. Alexander is the tougher/better prospect out of he/Okafor imo--and it's in part due to the fact he doesn't care about his reputation--he just competes. Okafor is a guy I've seen miss several parts of games he actually plays in due to "boo boos". I don't see what everyone else does overall--think Okafor is a skilled/talented offensive post player and that's it. Much like a taller Jared Sullinger, he doesn't impact the game at all defensively and I think Alexander is a better rebounder/has more potential. Okafor is good--but he needs to get tougher. Part of the reason Duke is a perfect fit for him is how much of a punk he can be when things get tough on the court. Look at last year-he had the better team but Jabari Parker's team always got the win--and in part to the fact he can't do anything to impact the game if he's not scoring where true elite guys do. I thought Mac Irvin played it's best ball of AAU season when he sat out and Alexander was their big with Josh Cunningham getting more touches. Okafor is a very talented low post player--but that's it. I think he's an avg rebounder and a terrible defensive player. I like Elbert Robinson a lot--tough, doesn't shy away from contact and just needs to trim some fat-which he'll do as he matures and through conditioning. I'd drop Okafor out of top 5 in this class but I hate guys who are always looking for an excuse and "hurt". Injured/hurt are 2 different things. Guys who can't play hurt are soft. Everyone is tired/banged up this time of Summer but he's a guy who just seems to pick and choose when he plays. If Okafor chooses a school other then Duke, you'll start hearing more truth about him. But since he's a heavy Duke lean-you only hear the positives.

RDF, do you think we are in good shape with Elbert? I think Hoyas will be in this with a battle from Louisville. He really likes Georgetown and knows what the tradition of bigs is--good guy too but Louisville has turned up their recruitment of him as well. Going to be a good battle for him. Hoyas are a leader or co-leader after being heavy favorite as of MPLS EYBL.

Hoyas are a leader or co-leader after being heavy favorite as of MPLS EYBL. If it's a battle with L'ville then I think G'town will get Elbert.. L'ville's 247 site has talked a lot about Pitino chasing Alexander, Okonoboh, Lyles, Abu ect.. A few days ago the site reported the whole L'ville staff was in Vegas on Thursday watching 6'-10" Jaylen Johnson from Michigan play and thinks L'ville is his leader right now. There hasn't been any write-ups about Elbert since Pitino saw him in Myrtle a couple of weeks ago.. Couple that with the fact that Elbert still hasn't set a visit with them makes me think they're slow playing him or are no longer interested..

Pitino prefers some of those guys--but 2 of them are realistic and one isn't a Post-Lyles is a PF who plays facing basket, Okonoboh is more of a Pitino guy imo--but Alexander isn't likely to happen for them and Abu/Delgado are PF who aren't posts. Robinson was going to commit to Gtown was the rumor at MPLS EYBL session and mind you that was with him not being there-just talk around the gym. I think it's a case where a kid has a few different voices telling him to play this Summer out--take a visit or two and decide-Robinson has a visit set up with Louisville--but will he ever take it? You see him and you see a Georgetown big man.

Thanks RDF, YaBOY and Etomic. Really hope we land him soon. Even if he was the end of it (and I don't think he will be), that would be a monster class.

We need bigs. Elbert seems like he has the potential to be great. This is the big one III and staff need to close.

Robinson and Oubre would be a coup. Johnson is looking good too. Then on to '15 with Dickerson and Mann to start.
