Id say he is at best a pipe dream at this point. Perfect fit as a 5th year but unless those schools somehow change their situation and he drops to us it's not happening.

Cincinnati simply put calls out to D. Graham, Elijah Stewart, Bryce DeJean Jones and Wesley. I do not believe they were seriously involved with any of them. Wesley will cut his list soon, we'll see if UC makes the cut but I wouldn't hold my breath.
They seem to be more keyed in on Shriener and Haywood considering both are supposed to visit coming up soon.
Then, there are wild cards like Eron Harris and Justin Martin that haven't publicly indicated any schools they are considering at this time.
Remember you don't have to sign an LOI in the Spring period, just the financial aid papers. It is possible this process could play out for another month or so until summer workouts really get started in late May.

His first day of in-home visits from yesterday:
Byron Wesley @byron_wesley: Thank you to the coaches from all of the following schools for coming out today: Pittsburgh, Gonzaga, Indiana, Baylor, & Oklahoma St
In all honesty, the odds in landing this kid are probably 2-4%
For recruits classified as 2014 who have been released from the LOI's (it looks like Tennessee has had a couple lately), do those players need to commit to new schools during this current signing period (April 16 - May 21) to be eligible for the 2014-2105 season? or do they get some sort of extension?

After the signing period ends on May 21, any recruit simply has to sign financial aid papers with a certain school. However signing that is not binding like an LOI. Remember Lance Stephenson committed with Cincinnati in late June.

Bulldog01, you must be a tad younger then me. Todays teams of one and doners couldn't come close to some of John Woodens UCLA teams. Best team ever is a huge stretch. Players routinely stayed 4 years in college back then. Players were much more physically ready for the vigors of the NBA after their senior year in clollege as opposed to coming out after their freshmen year. They also had 4 years to develope as a team instead of 6 months. That said, Kentucky will be very good next year I agree but best team ever? I think not.
Please don't be confused. I'm not saying kids shouldn't be allowed to enter the draft early or even have to go to college at all to join the NBA. I'm just saying College teams today would be better if the kids stayed 4 years like they did years ago.

I think it's very ridiculous to say best team ever, but I've never seen a team with that much raw talent. They've got 9 McDonalds All-Americans. NINE. Can't imagine that's ever happened before.

They for sure have a ton of talent but my point was teams don't stay together as long because of the early departures. Teams in those days stayed together 4 years. Wooden had Alcindor,Walton and many others who got better every year. The best players didn't leave early.I think it's very ridiculous to say best team ever, but I've never seen a team with that much raw talent. They've got 9 McDonalds All-Americans. NINE.

I wouldn't say the twins were dominant. One hit some huge shots, but they both struggled through the coarse of the year.

I cannot blame him, he had an amazing tournament and played himself into a first round pick.....

UConn junior forward DeAndre Daniels will enter the NBA Draft, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

If you saw any of the NCAA tournament, I'd say the Harrison twins are pretty dominant. Add in Cauley-Stein (who'll be a junior), Karl Towns and Trey Lyles and that team could give the 76ers a run for their money.
Zero chance, wouldn't be close.

The 76ers have 2 NBA players on their entire team. If you saw them play at all last year, then you would realize they're trash. As much as I hate them, UK looks like they may have 3-4 lottery picks next year and at least a couple others good enough for the 1st round. Now, back to bearcat basketball . . .
