LeBron James was most likely going to go to Ohio St. if he entered college after high school.Just imagine..LeBron goes to college, and stay all 4 seasons. His senior season, Oden and Conley step on to the campus.Imagine how freaking dominant that team could have been last season. They would not have lost a game.Just imagine...
YAWNthis has been said like 5000 times aND I IMAGINE THAT things would have been different for coloney had LBJ gone there - I also imagine that oden might have gone somewhere else as two massive stars like that could drop eachothers numbers and effect thier value come drsaft day..So really it would have beeen extremely unlikely that would ever have happened
I was pretty sure someone had probably mentioned it, but I hadn't seen anything. I've talked about this a lot with my manager at work, and it had just popped in my head so I just wanted to see what other people thought about it.
Imagine of Amare came to Memphis...we woulve had Darius Washington, Amare, Kendrick Perkins, Qyntel Woods and probably Dejaun Wagner(rumored he left cause he though memphis wasnt going anywhere unless they get Amare). Woods and Perkins wouldve been good in college, Washington wouldve been very solid, and we saw what Dejaun did as a freshman...and Amare wouldve been Amare.
We'll see about that.Eric Gordon >>> Derrek RoseD.J. White >>> Any of your forwardsEli Holman >>> The best center in the Big 10 next year?

Andobviously you dont know memphis cause memphis is NOT about star power, so its more of depth thing. Antonio Anderson can play foward, CDR, Jeff RobinsoN and Robert Dozier.And Joey Dorsey might be the best big man defender in the nation...good defense stops good offense. Memphis>Indiana.Anyways, CDR is going to be a star next year, and I think Dozier is going to have a real breakout season, not to mention Derrick Rose will probably be a instant star.
Gordon was ranked as the best guard in the nation on pretty much every site I looked at. IU has a lot of depth, IU has a full roster full of shooters and slashers. Plus there's Chris Kramer who scored 20 something against the Gators in the NCAA tournament this year as a freshman. Eli Holman is a tremendous bundle of athletiscism and defensive potential. D.J. White is regarded as one of the best forwards in the nation. I don't think depth will be a deciding factor in any competition between Memphis and IU. The 4 players I mentioned are capable of winning games themselves.
Okay They are better than a elite 8 team that is only getting better with its current players, and is getting the BEST guard in the nation plus another high propest. Not to mention that transfer that was top100 but was injured his freshman year.
Memphis has the incoming Morris twins.. Markieff Morris is ranked higher than your Holman dude. Derrick Rose is the 2nd ranked PG in the nation behind Mayo. Gordon is ranked the best SG. Memphis has a better recruiting class and Calipari is a better coach.Advantage: Memphis
Oh, did I mention that IU is getting the #1 juinor college player in the nation? And they're also getting his teamate, who is in the top 10 junior college players in the nationEric Gordon is the best guard in the nation, every reliable source states thatEli Holman is 6'11" which provides a monster interior forceD.J. White is an extremely polished athlete who can dominate any frontcourtChris Kramer is an outstanding scorer and shooter, and should compliment Gordon extremely well when Gordon kicks it out after venturing into the lane
Holman is 6'9'' 210 and is 15th C. Markeiff Morris is 6'9'' 215 and is 12th C. Memphis is getting his twin brother who is also one of the best SFs in the nation.
I heard the Morris twins arent coming until the season after next. Im not sure how exactly that works..but something I read. But if you add them...we're even more kickass.
so? the holman rankings are messed up cause he was suspended and that hurt his stock, but he's matured and he's ready, he'd be much higher ranked if he hadn't been suspended
Scout.com... They scout talent. They don't have to watch 10+ games to see their weaknesses/strengths. Sometimes less than five can be enough to tell them.
Please tell me where these sources are that say Gordon is better than Rose? Indiana.com?Everything Ive seena s Rose higher...even 2008 mock drafts have Rose being taken 1st overall...which the last guard to be project to be 1st overall was Allen Iverson(thats if you dont consider LeBron a guard).
Haha, I get my ratings from www.scout.com. Go to www.scouthoops.com for high school player's rankings.
dude, NBA rankings have nothing to do with college. If they did JJ Reddick would've been the first pick in the draft last year. The NBA is all about potential, that's what Rose has, everyone knows Gordon is ready to start winning, he's a complete player already
