Class of 2014 Dante Exum

[jr4750]

6'5 pg out of Australia... 5 Star... Not currently being pursued by Cuse, but looks a lot like MCW on the court. Francis any chance we jump in this battle?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I mean, the name alone is worth some scouting.

It sounds like ancient latin.

It sounds like ancient latin.

I think if you translate it from Latin his name would be "enduring unknown."

...

We need to sign this player.

Leaning to IU currently...may not even go to college, may declare for draft. Recent video:

I have seen him play a few times as well and he's very talented with a MCW type of build as you mentioned. Not sure if we'll get involved but the word is that he could be eligible by mid-season coming up and knowing our issues with the lack of depth at backup PG, he might be somebody of interest. I remember reading not too long ago that he really likes UNC but they weren't showing much love and Tom Crean has been doing his "I've been thinking about you" stuff with him.

According to Dante Exum's family, right now Dante is strongly leaning toward going to college. That's his #1 option at this point.

Givony is the best source on the international stuff.

Did his father play at UNC? I think I remember reading that somewhere. Their inn is almost full for '14-'15 - they've got a nice haul so far.

Yup, I think that's the link right there. UNC is still looking for another SG and from what I've seen of Exum, he could play the combo role on the next level. I guess until he makes it official about what direction he's going whether pro or college, that most schools are taking a wait and see approach with him before going all out.

So dante translates to "giving". Candidates for surname to go with it:

exim: instantly. He'd lead the NCAA in assists.
exam: not Latin, but sounds like he'd make Dean's List.
exig: demand. Gets an assist on one end, makes a steal on the other.

Mmm. No. "Enduring unknown" is much better.

You left off:
exhume: to bring back from obscurity, or disinter;
eczema: an inflammatory condition of the skin characterized by redness, itching, and oozing vesicular lesions which become scaly, crusted, or hardened -- (That paints a nice visual, doesn't it?)

Update on Exum from Zags.

"“He has not made a short list. The schools that are recruiting him are Indiana, Oregon, Georgetown, LSU, Boise State, SMU, Colorado, and Kansas. Kentucky, Duke, UCLA, Ohio State, and Louisville have showed interest.”

 

[OrangeZone]

I like this kids video; I hope we are on him and get him onboard with The Cuse

New update from Zags again. Gotta think that if he decides to go the college route that currently Indiana looks to be the most likely destination. Kind of interesting that UNC is showing no interest at all, giving the fact that both of his parents went there.

 

[orangefan13]

looks like he won't be going to college.
Maybe Cal can pay him off midseason if he needs help with his team?
