Mustapha is in and with the verbal commit from the C out of Spain Park we could potentially have 2 McDonald's All Americans


Wiley is a class of 2017, so we likely have a shot of only 1 Mickey Ds AA this year

Not really. There aren't many 5*s & we have not been a basketball school in the recruiting rankings era which is the past 15 years.

Guys like Chuck Person, Wesley Person, Charles Barkley, Chris Porter would have all been 5*. They had all the accolades.

I'm not sure they did out of high school. Charles for example was billed as too fat & short to be an elite PF.Weslet seemed like he was getting 4* notariety. The names I remember hearing with the most buzz coming into AU was the afore mentioned Porter...and Chris Morris.

Chris Morris was the other one I couldn't think of...

Definitely Porter. Both Persons were on the fringe

Vot may have been a 5*. He was a McDonald's all American so he was at least close. There is another one from back in the late 80's that would have been borderline too. Mike Jones I think was his name. He was solid but never lived up to his ranking.

Vot was a high 4*. LINK LINK MM says the other McD AA was Frank Ford under Sunny Smith.

Not. It was a surprise when he came on strong it was his Jr year I think.

That seems to be the popular pick from the recruiting analysts.

Jay Tate was talking about Daniels in a rundown the other day and made the point that Daniels was always known as athletically gifted but had issues personality/anger type stuff.

Basically said that AU was able to get Dnaiels to channel his passion/anger into being a great basketball player. Case of a player being able to rein in his emotions positively

Mississippi State's Ben Howland on verge of landing another Top 100 kid. Look for big man Abdul Ado to pledge to Howland today, per source.
