Brown eliminated Kansas. Talk that he plans to eliminate two more this week and Sam Webb thinks he'll announce next week. Seems like there's less smoke for UNC than the other three.

If he does come here, it's going to be awfully hard to ignore that statement about coming back for a second year. IMO the best policy with a top-3 recruit is to assume you get just one year.Comment

How many minutes a game is he going to get? A second year seems like a distinct possibility given how much depth there is wherever he goes.Comment

He he's what he's billed as he'll get 30mpg as a frosh.Comment

He'll start and play 30mpg wherever he goes.Comment

Whose minutes does he take and at what position?Last edited by Hannibal; May 1, 2015, 09:31 AM.Comment

I think in Beilein's system, coupled with his ability and strength, he can play the 2-4. He reminds me of Justice Winslow or a 6'6" Chris Webber.
If Chatman doesn't make a big leap over the summer, I think he'll be the one that loses the most PT. However, they could also go with a big/athletic line-up and have LeVert, Irvin, Chatman, Brown and Wilson out on the court at the same time. All of those guys can handle the ball relatively well. Or, they go small(ish) and replace Wilson with Walton or Spike. Kind of the line-up that Don Nelson always wanted. I don't know enough about Moe Wagner to figure how he fits in but he looks fairly versatile. Maybe he redshirts, maybe he starts?
I also wouldn't be surprised to see Max come back if Brown goes elsewhere. It kind of sounds like he's waiting to see if that's a possibility.Comment

He's a finisher first and foremost, so in our context think of GR3. A bit shaky from 3 but get him the ball in the paint and he'll flush it down.
PG: Walton, Spike
SG: LeVert, Rahkman
SF: Irvin, Dawkins
PF: Brown, Chatman, Wilson, Wagner.
C: Doyle, Donnall, Wilson.
Good god there's an insane amount of system-appropriate talent here. Even if we lose Irvin as well as LeVert next year, there are some talented kids ready to step in. They are really going to push each other for minutes this year, and that will only make things better in '16 too. The pipeline has been established. Everybody has to earn their minutes right now except for Doyle.
On the assumption that Spike gets enough minutes to prevent Walton from blowing up into an early-entry candidate, 2016 is going to be insane too. My only question is interior play. Man if we'd gotten an elite 5 in this recruiting cycle I'd be going nuts. But, still, Beilein has the ingredients he needs, and my skepticism aside he's proven that when he has them his teams win. I expect some SERIOUS winning in the next two years, with our without Brown.Comment

Brown can get to the hoop unlike GR3, which makes all the difference.Comment
-
Yeah. He's also reportedly a sumbitch out there. The alpha we need.Comment

My god, yeah. Wow! What an insane collection of wings right now. And somehow the folks at umhoops.com would like to see recruiting shut down at the 5 spot at this point for a few years. SMDH.Comment

They have two for '16, a year late.Comment

None elite. This group is just crying out for a serious above-the-rim two-way big to complement them. If we can make room for Brown despite the NBA talent on the wings we can make room for a player at a position with less talent.Comment

And my money's on Davis being a '17 kid anyway.Comment
