Message: [QUOTE="OrangeTown, post: 678777, member: 942"] Since it's an Insider article, I'll just put the Cuse-specific info here. Enjoy! The article contained information on 10 2014 recruits whose stock could rise in July. [url]http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruiting/national/post/_/id/7338/10-players-whose-stock-could-rise-in-july[/url] Cuse recruits: [B]2. [/B][URL='http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/127371/isaiah-whitehead'][U][COLOR=#0066cc][B]Isaiah Whitehead[/B][/COLOR][/U][/URL][B] (Brooklyn, Lincoln), No. 35 [/B] [B]Why he could move up:[/B] Improved decision-making He’s a consensus top-25 talent in terms of scoring ability and playing the game at a high level, but he has made marked improvement in his decision-making. In recent play, he has allowed his elite scoring ability to come within the flow rather than doing his own thing at an inopportune time. When he makes a good decision, he’s an excellent scoring guard with the ability to distribute. As he limits his mistakes and continues his prolific scoring, his stock rises. The ability to process the game during action is vital for him to grow. [B]7.

What jumps off the page against Chukwu is his length and explosion. He’s another elite shot-blocker in this class sand makes opponents think twice about coming into the lane. He rebounds with length, often tipping the ball to himself, and while his scoring is minimal, he can finish via drop-off passes and lobs. He’s becoming a hot commodity as college coaches will flock to see him throughout July. [B]10.

He has a GPS for getting to the rim and he’s never off course. On his dribble penetrations, he attacks the seams and gets to the rim or finishes with his patented floater using body control. He thrives in the transition game and loves to be the punctuation mark on a play. He’s not a great shooter but he’s got the competitive nature to take big shots and the mindset that he will make it.
