[QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 2140319, member: 87"]
So either Wright is the polar opposite of all higly rated recruits of the past 8 years or there is something missing in the story here. I thought it was all about getting to the league as early as possible. A 21 year old is viewed as a used up and empty vessel by the NBA, right? So if he isn't ready, it just means spending another year in college. So he goes after is soph year instead of his freshman year. But by prepping, he eliminates all chance of blowing up and being able to go a year earlier.

The Donna article says: "The 6-foot-8 wing right now resides in the Class of 2017, but has indicated he wants to spend a year in prep school to build his body, hone his basketball skills and [B]perhaps attract the attention of more college basketball programs.[/B]"

But he has offers from the likes of Syracuse, Michigan State, Villanova, etc. So I immediately have to ask: who does UK already have at his position for 17? He is clearly wanting offers from schools he doesn't have them from yet. That would be UK and Duke. Which means he will not reclass and he will not come to SU unless those other two don't offer. This sounds extraordinarily Quade Green like. Will we blame Gerry again?
