Any highlights I've seen makes me think McCormack is better than Preston, unfortunately he is warmer to Kboo as well.

I thought Wiggington was the 2nd best player on the floor last night behind Bagley, who is an absolute stud. Give me Wiggington over Preston or Coleman any day. .......

Could not agree more. LW is a very smooth ball player. Loved it that they said 'committed to Iowa State' after many of his highlight plays.

I do think Biancardi was right, that he will have to learn to not get too deep into the defense. With his quickness and leaping ability, if he could develop that 3-5 foot floater he''ll be really special.

Remy Martin. He's a stud too. Hair like Prince FTW.

I thought LW looked really good. I was just a little disappointed that he wasn't more the "go to" guy in the 4th quarter, but maybe the coach figured the other team would be keying on him.

Love his fearlessness though in driving to the basket. He needs to work on pulling up on some of those drives for a short floater or something in college though. Big 12 bigs will beat him up otherwise.

Bagley was really impressive and is only a junior! Remy Martin was excellent too. I would love to meet the parents that name their kid that.

Remey Martin wins the haircut award. it's pretty awesome.
You clearly didn't see the first game then. La Lumier may have the all-hair team of the nation. Tyger Campbell and Brian Bowen have insane hair, Both were going off as well. I think Prohm should go after Tyger solely cause I want to watch his fro bounce as he pokes away another steal for a break away lay-up.

I seriously think it was more of his team being selfish and trying to do too much by themselves to make a highlight play on national TV, towards the end of the game. If there would have been TO's called i would be willing to bet it is touching Lindell's hands at some point, but when you have HS kids who want to prove they are the ****, they do things that their coach don't want them to do.

I think you hit the nail on the head. The kid going to KU was determined to show the ESPN audience that he was the man, only he wasn't.

As an aside, Bill Self must give a high priority in the recruiting process to being a little bit crazy. The KU-bound kid from Oak Hill has been to 5 high schools in 4 years, and was quoted as saying that there is no way that there are 19 players in the country better than him. (I don't think it's a slam dunk that he's even the best post player, let alone player, on his high school team.) Other schools that get high level players (Duke, UNC, Kentucky) don't seem to have that many issues, but quite a few of the guys Self gets have some serious screws loose. Elijah Johnson, Aaron Miles, JR Giddens, Brandon Rush, Julian Wright, CJ Giles, etc.

Aaron Miles?
Brandon Rush?
Julian Wright?

Feels like you're reaching on quite a few of those.

Aaron Miles - punched Jared Homan in a game

Brandon Rush - Attended four different high schools

Julian Wright - Ok. Fair. Maybe he's not crazy. He just wanted to get paid to play college BB.
