will we need another pg other than selby? i mean i know we will need a back up, but isnt this guy going to be too good to sit the bench?

 

[dickens821]

Selby might not be there more than a year. Not to mention the likelihood of Wroten staying at PG with the rate he is growing is minuscule. He'd end up like Woolridge.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

ahh i see

 

[VOLNBAMA]

Wroten? who is that?

well you need to look this kid up. He's the next big thing in basketball.

i found him. he is young. ill worry more about him when it gets close for him to decide where he is going

 

[dickens821]

Wroten is 6'4"... He'll end up a SG/SF by the time he graduates. No doubt.

It's close to coming.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

It's close to coming.

isn't he a sophomore?

 

[dickens821]

He could commit his Jr year, like Selby. or McRae.

[dickens821]

Tony Jone was up in Michigan this past week visiting Sykes. We're still his leader.

 

[ukvols]

Good to hear.

 

[Midfielder10]

Yeah baby!

 

[bburger991]

Anything new?

 

[bburger991]

Just checked and the first game this season, he dropped 25 and had coaches from Tennessee and Dayton there. I'm not sure who was up there watching him though.

Also, Michigan State is coming hard after him. Izzo is trying to convince him to not go to Knoxville.

Some people seem to think that grades or character could be an issue with him. I'm not sure what the basis is though.

Their basis is that we have had trouble with every Michigan recruit we've had at UT under Pearl so far.

Two of them?

 

[dickens821]

Two of them?

correct.


I didn't say it was a worthwhile reason or not. I just gave their reason.

New video up on rivals of him..Looks like a pretty good penitrator from the 49 seconds that are available.


"Sykes finished with 18 points in the loss. Six of those points came when Sykes was matched up against Appling, who led all scorers with 29 points. Appling also forced the Finney standout into a handful of turnovers, registering three steals against the rising 2010 prospect and forcing a pair of 5-second violations."

"Sykes, who resembles Manny Harris in build when the Michigan standout was at Southeastern High School, showed a good handle and managed to drive to the basket for easy baskets on a number of occasions."


Assistant coaches from Syracuse and Tennessee have been to recent games to watch Sykes play.

Anything else?

Is this guy still considered a sleeper or is he starting to get some hype?

Michigan State going to Final 4 and us exiting in first round could hurt.
