I really think it's South Carolina, then Georgetown, then Louisville. Here is a list of Louisville's notable point guards over the past several years: Quentin Snider (2014-present): 6'2" Terry Rozier (2013-present): 6'1" Chris Jones (2013-present): 5'10" Russ Smith (2010-14): 6'0" Peyton Siva (2009-13): 6'0" Chris Smith (2010-12): 6'2" Preston Knowles (2007-11): 6'2" Edgar Sosa (2006-10): 6'2" Jerry Smith (2006-10): 6'2" A lot of the guys on this list weren't even point guards. ALL of Pitino's point guards and most of his shooting guards are in the 5'10"-6'2" range, because his system requires extreme amounts of quickness. Dozier is a more deliberate, smooth guard than most of the guys on this list, and obviously his body type is completely different from any of them. Meanwhile, JT3 seems to be emphasizing versatility and tall ball-handlers and passers recently. This year's team will feature DSR (6'3"), Peak (6'5"), Trawick (6'5"), and White (6'8") in ball-handling roles of some capacity. It seems like Dozier and his family consider him a point guard, and find it extremely important that he plays that role. I find it much more plausible that he could fit in Georgetown's system as a true point guard than Louisville's. In addition, Dozier's arrival would allow DSR and Peak to operate off the ball, where they are at their best. It would be a deadly triIt o. It would be a deadly trio indeed! We can only pray and hope that he makes the right decision. As far as I a concerned we are that right decision.

Fellas I wouldn't worry to much about what the father is putting out in the press. 3 yrs ago during this time with Nerlens all of the leaks were saying Gtown and then at the presser he reveals the UK shaved into his head. We just have to hope that the family(father) realizes that his best chance at picking up the skills to be an all-star level NBAer is at GTown. Gtown is loaded with "ready to win now" talent and also provides the opportunity for PJ to play his desired position. USC also provides PG playing time but the team is at least 3yrs away. We should win this recruiting battle. Unlike all of the pass recruiting battles, we are in the best position in all of the basketball related categories if the IAC does in fact open in 2015. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) I want to hug you.

I’m just having fun throwing shade on Louisville… Old BE rivalries never die ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Louisville can’t develop shhh. White suit Rick might be telling him he’s going to play PG but where are Terry Rozier and Quentin Snyder going to play? Wish we could get them back on the schedule ..Easy W

She refused to look at colleges in locations that did not have a Wawa. That, and she refuses to pump her own gas. She's never leaving New Jersey.

Not knowing where you are located, MCIGuy, Wawa is similar to Sheetz, with a heavy presence in the mid-Atlantic states. www.wawa.com/WawaWeb/About.aspxYou can't drive more than five miles in Central and South Jersey without seeing a Wawa. Great coffee, cheap gas, and freshly made sandwiches and snacks. Hard combination to beat. And no, I am not a stockholder (wish I was, though). Hopefully, tashoya will also be right!

Hope the kid makes the best decision for himself and I wish him well whomever he may choose.
Kinda inconvenient to have home visits while teams recruiting him are now practicing.

What the heck is a Wawa? Too busy to Google. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) wawa is just like Sheetz. They are both huge 24 hour gas stations that have made to order subs and food using a touch screen ordering system. The macaroni and cheese and turkey stuffing mash and gravy bowl at Wawa are superior IMO. They both have good Philly cheesesteaks and meatball subs. wawa also carries clam chowder and other soups depending on the time of year.

Nothing says HoyaTalk like a Sheetz WaWa debate in the thread for our most important guard recruit in years.

Just more evidence that there is no such thing as a non sequitur in the world of HoyaTalk...

FWIW, Louisville boards and mods are very confident he is choosing Louisville.

Contrary to opinions offered above, it is nowhere near a "disaster" if we lose this recruit. Disappointing, yes. But far from a disaster. We have great talent recruited in 2014 and 2015 classes already.
There are some doods that can help at the guard position that JTIII will find.
Plus, Tre is better than people realize. He can/will be a solid starting PG by sophomore year (unless someone better jumps him). Peak, White, and Isaac will score. Tre needs to control ball with solid handle (skill set check), push the tempo in spots (skill set check), play solid man defense (skill set check), and hit the occasional 3 (skill set check).
I'll be Editeded if Dozier passes, but not worried about the long-term prospects of the team.
