You also said that Memphis would likely sign a PG better than Chiozza when he committed to UF.

Who exactly is this mystery PG? Ullis is going to Michigan State. Dominic Magee is supposedly a heavy OK State lean. Lourawls Nairn? He's a good two inches shorter than Chiozza. Alex Robinson is similarly ranked to Austin.

Robinson is out there, as is Quintin Snyder. Magee is in the mix as well.

All better than Austin. They aren't 5'6" like Chiozza either, which I like.

Cornish is a 2 star. Tompson ranked a bit higher, but unranked at his position.

Mitchell is a 4 star, and will be able to play at the high major level. He's clearly the best of the three, IMO.

I love how you choose the lowest point as emphasis on almost every occasion. Cornish is a 4* on ESPN, a 3* on Rivals, and a 3* on 247, but the Scout ranking (lol), no matter how misguided and dated, is most convenient to your argument.

Mitchell is a great player, and perhaps better than Thompson or Cornish, but he's not so much better that you permanently destroy relationships and connections made through both players to cut bait to land him. Thompson is enrolled and yet to play, and by your own admission, three days ago, you knew nothing about the kid. So, you'll have to pardon us if we just pay no mind to your opinion on him.

Nobody is 2 inches shorter than Chiozza. :dance2:

It's definitely debatable whether or not Magee and Robinson are better than Austin. Neither is as good as Chiozza. Either way, Magee is thought to be a heavy OK State lean.

Good luck getting Snider away from a blue blood.

Haven't you heard? Memphis is a blue-blood. Just ask their fans.

Nairn and Ullis are. :dunno:

Chiozza is 5'10". Weight is a bigger concern than height, but that's fixable.

On his tippy toes maybe. I've watched him play and stood on the courst near him many times. He MAY push 5'9".

What difference does it make if a PG is 5'8" or 5'11"? They're not likely getting much action in the middle. At that size, quickness is important and all of the guys mentioned are very quick.

I only brought up size because MC tried to diminish losing Chiozza to Florida because of his size. I have absolutely no problem with undersized point guards.

I like Chris and I think he'll do well. For some reason Memphis wasn't interested until late in the game and it didn't seem like they were sold then. There seems to be some problems with recrutiing at the HS.

Chiozza will be a fine 4 year PG. Just bcause I don't think he's the next Chris Paul doesn't mean I think he is a bum. I'd ather have bigger PGs is all.

S'ok, I once heard that Austin Nichols was a heavy UTK lean.

Pastner gets his recruits, and I bet we'll have an elite PG recruit for 2014, unless Powell qualifies, which is even better.

ESPN's basketball coverage isn't bad at all (other than the fact that they have way too many 4* at the moment, which is fairly relevant here).

They had Dominic Magee ranked in the Top 100 before Rivals and 247 even knew who he was.

What "elite PG" is Memphis even in the running for? Snider is a longshot at best for Memphis, and it's probably a stretch to call him an elite PG regardless.

You're not linking me to an ESPN recruiting ranking, are you?

Let's stick with Rivals and Scout if we want to have recruiting ranking convos. ESPN is garbage.

You're going to discredit espn, but preach the accuracy of Scout to me? Yeah, we're done here. Scout has been awful since Dave Telep left. BTW, he works for espn now. One of the best in the biz.

Snider will most likely be at IU.

I know you're addressing MC but there are very few kids I'd label 'elite PGs'. Maybe the top 3-4. Chiozza is good but certainly not an elite PG. Most of that type will be playing in college for not more than 2 years.

Magee or Robinson are real possibilities for Memphis.

Powell will most likely be at Memphis in '14 regardless of what happens this year.

Oh, I don't disagree with any of this. I'm not that delusional.
