Interesting tidbits from new Rivals 2010 top 150

Former target Brandon Spearman now is not in the top 100 and has dropped. Former commits Jordan Dykstra and the kid from Wisconsin are not in the top 150.

Are we in on any Top 150's besides Barnes?

Top WANTS besides HB: In no particular order...Phillips, Ejim, and 3/4 combo guy. Which means we have to get a big in 2011.

150 kids and only 1 from iowa. That makes recruiting pretty tough particularly in view that there are two BCS schools in the state.

We might not sign a big this fall? That is kind of surprising, we're getting awfully thin on underclassmen bigs. Of course we could always sign one in the spring, better to wait than to sign one that can't cut it in the Big 12.

We have 3 young bigs right now. Pomlee, Hamilton, and someone else I am forgetting. We can also go to a 4 guard lineup if we have to. Nova does that all the time and it confuses the crap out of teams.

Surprised me too...My guess is HB and/or JuCo(3/4 combo) in the spring. No big...

That was it. Dendy.

The lack of a 2010 big on your list is also surprising to me given that Dendy, Hamilton, and Pomlee will likely be the only "bigs" on the projected 10-11 roster. It is my understanding that Class of 2010 4/5 bigs like Haley, Jackson, Green, and Walker have been offered. Are those guys now out of the picture?

Also, any comment on Ejim's omission from the Rivals 150 list? He is highly regarded by some other services and the staff's opinion of him is what counts most.

What about Haley?

Dendy is a juco transfer. I wouldn't call him "young". But I agree, that was probably the player he was thinking of.

First question...Not 100% sure, but I get the feeling we are moving towards a 2 guard, 2 wing, 1 big lineup after this year. 2 wings being combo 3/4 guys...

IMO, he gets compared to HB on this board...He's not at HB's level, but is a solid 3 to 4 year player. As for the recruiting services, I don't pay much attention...Love Ejim's game, he's big, physical, and motor is always running.
