Good article! You can tell coach Thorpe lives in the Southeast, however. Any players like this in the Big 10 or 12 or East?

Great stuff, David. Had the pleasure of watching Amari Williams blossom while at Drexel. While he definitely has wingspan, he’s also a very quick jumper which allows him to wait out an opponent’s potential pump fake. It’s great to see him doing well in the SEC with Kentucky.

Love this, Coach! A lot of names I haven't seen elsewhere in terms of potential draft picks, but will definitely keep an eye on and ear open for.

Alijah martin i spotted a while back. The guy ´has a genuinely nasty streak on defense. Id take him in a second. But alll these Tennessee guys.....is it me or does rick barnes NOT produce many pros.? Well, good pros. Julian Philips, or keon johnson, grant williams or josh richardson. I mean they made the NBA but they are all what I think of as low hoop IQ players. I used to say that about syracuse guys, but now its tennessee. Jarnel Stokes or now dalton knecht.. though knecht is now part of this generation of guys who move every year. Coaches dont stampp their identity on players as much as before. Anyway.,...studs....under the radar studs.... cedric coward, or alex condon or malique lewis, or zach freemantle or his teammate dailyn swain.....JJ Toppin, too. I love Freemantle.....you watch....he has a chip on his shoulder, too.
