Harvard

Postby Cal_Bears on Fri Aug 10, 2012 3:31 pm

Tommy Amaker is really building a solid team at Harvard. This may not be fully applicable to the 2013 draft but he's filling the team with a lot of guys we should keep an eye on in the coming years.

Kyle Casey 6'7" 225: He's actually a really efficient combo forward that should get some looks next year. He reminds me of a poor man's Jared Dudley.

Brandyn Curry 6'1" 190: He's a really good looking guard that does a good job of running a team. He has a solid AST/TO ratio and should look better now that McNally is gone. He's a low major guard that I think can look good in workouts.

Wesley Saunders 6'6" 210: He's pretty raw but he was fairly highly ranked coming out. I think he should have a bigger role and should be a name to look for in the future.

Mike Hall: 6'10" 200: He's rail thin but an intriguing guy nonetheless down the line. His defence is ahead of his O right now but if he bulks up he can be a nice prospect down the line..

Thoughts? And btw with their recruits they're bringing along next year, it should also add to the list. I'd keep an eye out for them in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up churning out prospects on par with a team like Butler. In that, I mean a few fringe guys each year with a 1st-2nd rounder also

btw, I also was going to add Laurent Rivard who is a great shooter, but I'm not sold that he can defend at the next level well enough

Isn´t Harvard in the verge to land a top100 recruit? Don´t remember his name, but it is a center with an african name

can you really call it "building a program" if harvard doesnt offer athletic scholarships?
sounds more like a good string of luck to me.

Went to Harvard Westlake High in LA, which is where Shaq sent his daughter IIRC. Known as an academic rather than an athletic school.

maybe, but i dont think that's whats happening at harvard.
this article explains what's happened at harvard. they've lowered their academic standards and are using other ways to entice recruits such as financial grants and other tuition loopholes.
