If he's not he probably should be.

So Cal 2017 PG ranked #19 in class, would come right in and understudy under PJC for a year then take over PG duties.

Dude ages like Greg Oden.

Don't know anything about him, but when you score more than half your teams points that's pretty impressive.

Syracuse, N.Y. — V.J. King, a high school teammate of incoming Syracuse guard Frank Howard, left Syracuse off his list of five finalists on Thursday. He announced the group on Twitter.

A 6-foot-7 swingman, King is ranked between No. 11 (Rivals) and No. 23 (247 Sports) by the four major scouting services. King listed his five finalists as Arizona, Connecticut, Louisville, Virginia and Kentucky.

Josh Jackson is a 6'7" shooting guard? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. Can you imagine having Justin Simon and Justin Jackson in the backcourt? That would be like the tallest backcourt ever.

Not exactly the best time to visit. Campus is empty, not much tail, and hot as hell.

Seriously the worst time he could ever visit. Maybe not. July is worse.

It's possible he's got some connection to UCLA we don't know about yet. A partent or relative went there or something?

Again, not a big deal, imo. He's a good player, but Miller will get a better one.

He might just want to stay home. UCLA at least has a history of basketball pedigree worth staying home for.

Are you actually claiming that Scheer would put out offer information that was wrong? Don't think I've ever seen that.

Not only this, but his AAU program were the ones who initially tweeted out the offer.

Like what I heard from Coach Miller. He said, without hesitation that we will win a NC. Didn't know when but he oozed confidence.

Of things you can ooze, confidence is one of the better things.

Miller optimistic

During an appearance before UA fans at a Phoenix restaurant Wednesday, UA coach Sean Miller expressed plenty of optimism about the future despite having to take his “hat off” to Wisconsin after the Badgers’ hot second-half shooting in the Elite Eight last season.

“We’re gonna win the national championship,” Miller said. “We’re gonna be back. A lot of my coaching friends tell me it happens when you least expect it.

“Maybe that’s next year. In the next few years, we have great momentum.”

Of UA’s incoming freshmen, Miller said wing Allonzo Trier “is maybe a more natural scorer than any player I’ve ever recruited,” while forward Ray Smith would have been a high school All-American if not for a knee injury that cost him his senior season. Miller said guard Justin Simon “can do some things on defense that Rondae can,” and that center Chance Comanche could develop into a Channing Frye-type NBA player.

Miller also said Johnson’s decision to leave for the NBA was a difficult decision.

“He was as close to coming back as any player I’ve been through this process with,” Miller said. “I’d say it was 50.5 to 49.5 (percent), but he left for the right reasons. He’s going to be a lottery pick, and we’re going to miss him.”

That last sentence

Wow! Miller's too cool.

“We’re gonna win the national championship,” Miller said. “We’re gonna be back. A lot of my coaching friends tell me it happens when you least expect it.

“Maybe that’s next year. In the next few years, we have great momentum.”

Nice. About time we were actually invited to one of these matchups. Although I wish we were playing Kansas. We may play msu two years in a row though.
