Re: ORU recruiting class....
Hey, I'm not saying the kid is a 5-star player. We're in the Summit, we're debating our recruiting class versus the ORU kids and you bring up UNC, Duke and WF, three of the top 15 programs in the nation? That's like praising Callahan for dropping 30 on ORU at the Arena and then have someone come back and compare Callahan to Kobe.
UNC-Asheville and UNC-Wilmington are a joke and I would play at ORU anyday before there. ECU is a mess right now. And we don't know what these schools did and didn't do. ORU has an opening for a PG and they have a fairly well known coach in Sutton. "Come start from day one on a team that could quite possibly win the conference every year you're here and play in the Big Dance....."
My point, exactly. In the case of the recruit from Durham. Not taking anything from him, and he might be the next Chris Paul, but Duke, NC State, UNC and Wake Forest are all approximately Brookings to Sioux Falls or Fargo to Grand Forks distance, or closer, from Durham. UNC-Asheville, UNC-Wilmington and East Carolina are all very good mid-majors a coupe hours' drive away. There may be other than Top 25 aspiration reasons a North Carolina prep school player will play for a mid-major in Oklahoma, but the fact that none of these backyard North Carolina schools made offers should say something.
