"The readiness to win is going to be one of them," Melvin said. "No. 2, floor time. We don't want to go there to sit. We can't do much for a program sitting. Relationships are important, too. We want to be comfortable. Also, style of place is important. I think he's more effective when he's in a wide-open offense. None of the reasons that he will pick a school is academics. Does he know that his son has to go to class too. I think his dad needs to be concerned with what his son will do after his very limited 4 year basketball career

Jabari Parker made Nunn. Are you kidding ? Nunn is overhyped. Pick a school and end the drama. Nunn will play at UIC within 24 months.

Well, thanks for that. First Parker, now Nunn. Any other fathers want to tell us something we already know? There should be some sort of regulation to keep them quiet.

This kids dad is probably the reason more big time programs arent recruiting him. WE dont want to sit, WE want this, WE want that. Sorry dad you aren't suiting up and playing so take a couple steps back

He will go to Ohio State. Great place to play, loyal fans, and a place that can get him into the NBA and make his name heard.

Marquette is better than Ohio State next year. OSU doesnt even have any players that would make it in the NBA.

You can't really act like Marquette is as legit as OSU. Really? Come on homer. Marquette is going to be popular for a year or two and then fad tot he oblivion like all religous schools in college basketball. Wasn't SLU awesome for 2 seasons? BYU?

One thing he has going for him is he can jump out of the gym and hit the 3 very well.

Sounds like Buzz has the inside track on this kid....Marquette is going to be nice in the backcourt if they land this kid. already have a nice PG and SG/SF coming in this class. If Marqutte could get a good big man they would be legit National Title contenders.

indeed, Otule and Gardner merged into one player, that would be a good big man.

The Bucks will always have a good Basketball team. They have a fantastic coaching staff and know how to recruit. They are no where near the consistent championship appearences that Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, etc. produce. But they are a very good school that brings alot to the table.

^^^^^^ Delusional. OSU's time has come and passed. They are going back to where they always were in basketball. Middle of the road with some good years here and there. Its OSU BASKETBALL, not FOOTBALL

Don't count Memphis out. It is a basketball city and the type of play this recruit likes. LOL to the poster that called Memphis a small team.

not sure the Illini really want him. From recent reports I'm hearing this kid is nothing special. Just getting hype because of teammates. Looks like another father looking to get his hands in the cookie jar as well. Good luck to them both.
