Yes, of course everybody wants to get drafted and high, but there's still a difference.

For example, Phil Booth from Villanova could have transfered after the team got Jalen Brunson, but he didn't.

I don't man.

everyone has their own prerogatives. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Especially in a situation like this.

Who knows what was said just to get each guy on campus as well.

That is true.

Nobody knows what is really going on.

I'll tell you right now. I got friends who are hip to the AAU circuit and the agent community.

It's some dirty dirty shit.

Anything to keep McLaughlin (whatever his name is...the short guy) away from being the primary decision maker.

You'd have though the was trying to throw that PC game in the first round.

You're right he choked it away at the end of that game... but McLaughlin is still the guy I trust most on this team. But their is some merit to a thought he's a better player off the ball.

I'll take Thornton though lol

There will probably be a lot of other schools interested in Thornton, who also listed Arizona, California, Michigan, UNLV, and Southern Cal as interests toward the end of his recruitment. Kentucky had him as their #1 PG target if he had stayed in high school.

I believe his Dad wants him closer to his home in California. At least that's the word.

His "trainer" say's, "Coach K lied to him about how they'd use him"

AKA - Waaaaaaaaaaaah WAAAAAAAAAAHHH WAAAAAAAAAAh

Oh yeah no doubt a lot of teams are interested. Just heard through the twitterverse that UNLV was a likely destination.

I believe that USC will be where he ends up. That's the word I'm getting.

There is some smoke on the Rivals Prem. board that KU might be the landing spot for Thornton.

However, none of the actual Rivals writers are hearing anything.

I believe that he has it down to four schools. Kansas, Miami, USC, and Washington. He's visiting a couple of them in the next few days. I wish him well.
