Get the best player available. We/Crean are way too late in the game to be only recruiting IN players. 3 or 4 years from now hopefully we'll be getting all the good IN and regional players, but we need the best of the best from in state, not leftovers. Not that Van Trese is necessarily a left over, but we only have 1 scholarship left for next year.

Just became a fan of Watford…..my preference…..I will take any of them, and van treese with the LN baggage would be nice after all….

Watford is one of the best scorers in aau. I think hes averaging over 24pts/gm. From his videos it looks like hes more of a wing type player but he can also block some shots. He's a great 3pt shooter and hes 6-7 He needs to work on his rebounding quite a bit (the main reason I want Franklin over him).

No, SVT is not nearly the talent that Franklin and Watford are. He's a role player at best where as the other two could grow into the leader of future squads. I think franklin would dominate SVT if they went 1 on 1 against eachother. Franklin would give us just as many rebounds, more points, and hes a vocal leader

Hulls, Elston, Dumes, Moore, Lewis, Barnett. Thats a good start in recruiting Indiana IMO. He's going hard after Teague, maybe Byrd as well. You have to get the best players available not just settle for an Indiana kid because hes an Indiana kid. I'd sure as hell take Franklin or Watford way over SVT. I think Crean is waiting those recruitments out before SVT gets an offer.

seen the Hulls one before — he will be very good after a little time in the weight room and some collegiate coaching. Bobby C –> one word: WOW! taking the contact from defenders and still finishing his shot! great blocking ability for a big man and looks like good foot work — hopefully his man on man defense is just as good.

gosh i wish i wasn't so busy at work today so i could have been more involved in these great discussions/debates!!! lets get both franklin and van treese!! well if it were only that easy … i like van treese . i think his ability and versatility can play into TC's style of basketball … i too like roger franklin, and agree with Kelin, we could REALLY use another wing player who can bring “rod wilmont” like energy back on the court … i guess id say id be thoroughly pleased either way, and EXTREMELY disappointed if we didn't land either!
