Package Deal for BB

[Deleted]

Have you heard about Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones? There is supposed to be a third guy too. These are top HS recruits. They are trying to all go to the same school and would probably start almost anywhere they went. The initial rumor here was they were looking at Duke, Kansas and Baylor.

Now I read that Ohio State is in the mix. Coach K is really working it! (You know my source.)

Tell Thad to get on it!! UNC Is out of the loop.

No chance if they're a package deal. Okafor likes Ohio State, Michigan State, and Duke a lot. Tyus Jones is not really big on Ohio State at all and 0% chance he comes here. So if they're a package deal, it looks like Duke will be where they end up at. If Okafor decides to go his own way, a lot of people predicted a MSU/OSU/Duke battle. Sadly they will probably both end up at Duke, because they have both said they're going to play with each other for sure. Ohio State has a great chance at Okafor though if he does decide to go in his own way, but they both keep saying they're going to play for each other.

And it is a big time package deal, Jones is rated as the #1 PG and Okafor is rated as the #1C according to most people.

Maybe that is why the rumor left Ohio State out.

Duke Sucks!!

I know more than one scout that thinks Okafor is going to be a better player than Wiggins. He will be a huge get for whoever does it.

Hopefully the Buckeyes can get him, if they do, this class could be better than the Thad 5 class of 06.


PG/SG: Russell - 5*, Stud. Winning MVP at camps recently and scouts love his game.
SG/SF: Tate - 4*, improving greatly. Great defense, great rebounding for his size. Offense game needs work/outside shooting but reports are they're greatly improving. Can do a little bit of everything, kinda like a David Lighty.
SF: KBD - 4*, Great talent, great size(6-7). Athlete. One scout compare him to former Arizona great Sean Elliot(Where Cisco at when you need him). Smooth game, smart, aggressive when needs to be, everything you want in the SF position. People say he is a matchup nightmare.
C Bell - 3*. He is now 6-10 with a wingspan of 7-5. Great size. Just started playing AAU BB this YEAR!! He is a project, but has great potential. Raw, but the skill/size is there. Might just take some time. Late bloomer, but a very good person to have in your class.


Russell/Tate/KBD have been tearing it up at camps. Every camp they go to, they get great reviews from scouts. Bell is getting better also, and still learning the game. If you can add Okafor to this class, it is the #1 class on paper to me and better than the Thad 5 potentially.

That's awesome. Of course he is just one scout. No need to brag that you know more than he does.

Ugh, not a fan of these package deals. Go on your own, and be a man.
