Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 265034, member: 331"] I'm looking forward to the resolution of this also. At this point I wonder if NN even knows what hat he's going to put on tonight. Here's how I break it down (alphabetically): [LIST=1] [*]Hoyas - Mom really wants him to go to Gtown for some reason. It's a great school academically. It's smaller, private and religiously focused. Those things are important ot some people. From a basketball perspective they have a great history of big men and their coach is the son of a legend. If the "team" he will be joining is a major factor and he wants to win while he is in school, the Hoyas come in 3rd. [*]UK - Large public university in a state where the basketball team is worshiped. That is not too strong a word for how they feel about their Wildcats. Attention and public scrutiny are factors players have to deal with. From a basketball perspective he will likely be playing with a bunch of other very talented and very young players. Playing time is wide open and he would likely be the #1 focus of opposing teams. If the "team" he will be joining is a major factor the Wildcats come in 2nd. Uber talented youngsters can't always mesh as well as the past 3 UK teams have can they? [*]Cuse - Great academics, private school with a few public scrapes recently. Great tradition and a stacked roster. Young and inexperienced but very well balanced with solid players waiting to step in at every position. From a basketball perspective if the "team" is important Syracuse comes in 1st. Open spot is not obviously open but for him it would be. Peopel thinking he's going to want to come in and play 35 minutes are propably wrong. Even with Rak and DC2 I would have to believe NN would get at least 25 minutes. There is 80 to split between the 3 of them and not as much pressure when the guy your sharing with is talented also. [/LIST] So after all my blathering I still don't feel confident. I would hope SU gets him. It really comes down to how much influence his mother has and whether he wants to walk into the wide open situation that persists at UK. [/QUOTE]
