re: 2014 SEC Basketball Recruiting

quote:

---

Larry Austin - Haven't seen a ton of film on him but he's the highest rated of the recruits. About 6'1". True point guard. Very good handles and court vision. Good, not great athlete. Decent shot. Similar player to C.J. Watson coming out of high school. Good offer list (Iowa, Kansas State, Memphis, Missouri, Oklahoma State)

Jordan Cornish - Listed at 6'4" but looks to be about 6'6". Very well built. Probably 225 lbs right now. Similar size to Armani Moore. Not quite the athlete, but better perimeter skills. Decent shot, good handles for a wing. Kindof a combination between Moore and Richardson.

Phil Cofer - 6'8" and very, very athletic. Slight build. Quick, explosive leaper and shot blocker with a limited offensive game. Similar to Duke Crews. Probably weaker, but more athletic. Will play a lot next year IMO. Decent offer list (Cinci, Miami, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss)

C.J. Turman - 6'8" and very well built. Very limited offensive game, but plays physical and should be a good defensive player. Good, not great athlete. Not a quick leaper like Cofer. OK offer list (Ole Miss, Miami, Wake Forest, South Carolina). Can't think of a similar player. Maybe a poor man's Patrick Young.

M.J. Rhett - Potential senior transfer from Tennessee State. 6'8" 230 and very athletic. Averaged 11 and 9 for a terrible TSU team. Had a double double vs. Wichita State. Would come in and start immediately. Similar player to Murphy Holloway who played a few years ago at Ole Miss. Supposedly we have a good shot to land him.

Didn't feel like typing this out, but I pretty much agree with all of this. From a poster on another site.

I think this class is probably Cuonzo's best, but it lacks star power. Really needed Looney.

All of them except Cofer (legacy) could go elsewhere if Cuonzo leaves though.
