I'm betting they loved Trey's assists to turnover ratio in the games against Indiana and Ohio State. 16 assists to only 5 turnovers against quality competition.

I know it's not going to happen but i really really want Burke to stay. Having Walton to back him up next year would be incredible.

Kind of surprised to see GRIII ahead of Deshaun Thomas in these mock drafts and rankings. Seems like they'd play the same position, but Thomas is much further along in being able to attack and create his own shot whereas Glenn isn't there yet? No question he has a ton of upside, which is what the NBA loves, but Thomas is only a year older and seems to be much further along?

Agree with this. The NBA is always going to look at what players do at the college level and whether they are just a contributor or a playmaker. The difference is that this can often be outweighed by the raw talent. Think of it this way. The NBA isn't drafting these players for next year, they're drafting them for 2016 or 2017. By then, who knows whether Deshaun Thomas is better than GR3. With the way GR3 is progressing, that gap could be closed a lot more even by the end of this season. No doubt Thomas is the better player right now, but GR3 has the potential to be amazing and a very good pro player.

Booker is a 2014 recruit so unless you assume Parker is going to return after his freshman season, he probably wouldn't be there for Booker to join.

Ah alright, makes sense reading it back now. Yeah, would have been loaded with McGary.

Michigan has been following and recruiting Booker hard for a long time, but he has started to blow up and is now attracting major attention from a lot of programs like Duke. Michigan has a solid shot, but they're going to have to beat out the "big boys" to do it. Plus, it will probably be awhile before he commits so a lot could change.

Yup. It's going to be a battle for awhile until he starts narrowing things down.

-Booker and Trevon Blueitt are the two wing/SG prospects our coaches are pursuing, as far as I know.

-Vince Edwards is being recruited, but keeps cancelling visits to campus where he'd likely end up receiving an offer.

-Ricky Doyle out of Florida is being recruited, but hasn't been up on a visit yet.

-Austin Hatch reclassified to 2014, so he'll be in the class, but still uncertain if he'll be on the team or given a medical scholarship due to his injuries.

This is a pretty good breakdown. The big one that is missing from this list is AJ Turner. He's a "point guard" out of De La Salle (same school as Shane Morris). I put point guard in quotes because almost nobody believes he will play point guard in college. He's 6'6" and 180 lbs. Booker is definitely the big target in this class with the loss of Tate and Diop. They also have a few fallback options they're looking at like Sean Sellers and Darius Austin, but most of the recruiting is going to depend on what guys like Booker decide. Also, the recruiting may change if guys like GR3 and Hardaway decide to go pro. Could put a few more offers on the table.

Also, if you have any big recruiting questions, I suggest asking Mark Zakrajsek (@mgobluegr). He's our main basketball recruiting guy on the site.
