  • His size and shooting ability I think could end up being absolute game changers down the road. I know FVV is the prize of the FR class and I can't wait for him to do what he does, but there's something about a 6'8" kid that can shoot like Green and handles the ball well that excites me. Uwadiae is a project that could turn into a diamond, but time will tell. Same can kind of be said for Green. Nobody knows how good this kid can be. It may be a couple of years down the road before we fully see it, but I have to say he's the most one that I'm most intrigued by.

    Just imagine the lineup though in say '14-'15
    PG - FVV
    SG - Baker
    SF - Green
    PF - Watson/White
    C - Uwadiae/Watson

    And we'd still have Cotton as well. This looks like a pretty good JR/SR group to me. A PG with great vision and the ability to score. Two excelent outside shooters and good ball handlers. Great size and athleticism with Uwadiae and Watson. And a workhorse with range in White. That's an exciting group of upper classmen down the road.

    You never know who may turn out to be a bust. But ever since we started getting info on Green, he's been near the top of my list of wants and I can't wait to see him in action. I hope to make a couple of trips over during the summer and see some games and get a feel for who may bring what to the table.

        If you do, it's not a big deal. It's easy to fix from a desktop.

              Why would you think anything is wrong?

              • When I saw this thread bumped, I thought there WAS some news about Green. Any news about a basketball player at this time of the year is never good. You want everything to be quiet until mid-October.

                • I didn't get any feeling anything was "wrong" when I spoke with him this past weekend. He seemed to get along with everyone well...etc. I guess you never know, but he seemed pretty excited to be here.

                            I agree. He, like Jake White, will have to bide their time, but will be extremely valuable as they gain experience.
